Yankeetown, Fl. find: Peanut shaped object. Double concretion?
Shirley Fireball posted a topic in Fossil ID
While I was looking for sea biscuits in Yankeetown, I found this. At first I thought it was an actual peanut. Lol I tried doing some research on it but can't really find that much information about what it actually is. So I'm hoping y'all will have some more suggestions or details. The closest I've found online is it being a double concretion. It's relatively small compared to similar ones I've found online. It's a little over 3cm long and less than 2cm wide. Not magnetic. Thank you for any and all help!- 3 replies

These look like mollusks that are missing half of the shell exposing the creature itself. 2 different specimens. I found them on the Nueces River in Southwest Texas

Hi everyone! I made a trip with family out to McFaddin beach on Memorial Day (the side closest to High Island). Artifacts and vertebrate fossils wash up here from the Pleistocene to the Holocene. There's some debate as to where they are coming from - they aren't in the Beaumont clay directly below the beach. A great webpage about the site is here: https://texasbeyondhistory.net/mcfaddin/ We found lots of fossilized arthropod burrows, some nice conch shells and beach glass (not fossils!), a piece of turtle scute, and a few bones. It was fun, and we saw no nudists on the beach - perhaps they thought it was too busy? We also found two items that we would love to have help from FF to ID.... The first item we think may be a fragment of a sloth tooth - this is only from perusing the fossil forum. Or ? At first we thought it might be plant, not animal, but the rectilinear shape of one side made us think twice. The other appears to be similar in form and size to a horse tooth, but no tooth enamel on the one end - just holes (apologize for blurriness of end photos). ??? Did the enamel fall off? Or is it something else? Thanks for your thoughts!

Greetings! I’ve been trying to determine if these are teeth I’ve found at the beach or some piece of fish skeleton. They were found both among the shells and while snorkeling in the Indian Rocks Beach area outside Tampa. Some smaller as well, found about a dozen all together, after much searching there last week. Many thanks for your suggestions! Cathy

Two days ago, I found this fossil on the beach off of southwest Florida. Can anyone help me to ID it? Initially I thought it was a shark tooth. There are a lot of small shark teeth fossils (less than an inch heigh) on this beach. After further inspection, I am wondering if it is a fossil of a broken bone. It's about an inch. Newbie here. Any guesses? Thanks very much! I appreciate your help.

Hello everyone, it's my first post here. Recently around the Gulf at Muscat, Oman, I found this tube-like structure bind strongly to a rock after some digging with my hands under the water on a remote small beach (no signs of previous visits there.) There's no sand on that shore, instead a coarse-sand-like nature of very small shell and rock fragments. The start of this tubular structure is very narrow, and its radius increases as it appears to curl in a life-like form of some organism. Unfortunately the top appears missing when I found it.
