Help Identify this "frog" Rock? Fossil? Coprolite? Coral? Magical carving?
Rufus posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello and thank you for looking. I found this rock in a dry river bed in Nayarit state, Mexico, near an ancient petroglyph site next to the river. I always thought it looked like a little frog, but have not been able to figure out what it might be. I really appreciate your help. It's heavier than the common volcanic lava rock from the area. -
This is another rock from the same place I found the bryozoan fossil a few days ago (Kent County MD). The structure looks like it had some sort of biological origin but I can’t make heads or tails of it. It looks a bit like a honeycomb.

I found this at low tide after a rowing outing on the foreshore of the tidal section of the river Thames near Hammersmith in London, UK. I have zero experience of fossil ID. From above, I thought it looks like a conulus but I was interested by the hexagonal pattern and two rows of dimples on the underside. Thanks for any info as to what they are and what it might be. Tim

I found this recently north of Hatch New Mexico. I was picking up lots of small quartz crystal clusters and thot this was maybe a cluster that got sheared off somehow. After a closer look and bit of a clean up I noticed the side views look like there is “stacked” formations. So the top has the hexagonal shapes and the sides look as if there is fairly uniform segments. The same general area has fossils like fusilinids, crinoid bits, shells at different levels. Also in the area rhyolite, chert and quartz crystal. Anyway, not sure if this is a fossil of some sort but have never found anything quite like it. PALEODICTYON is what came up when I googled hexagonal fossil. Certainly some similarities. Thanks for any help u can give me!

Found on blackstone river NWT Canada. Not sure what formation it is but its either devonian or cretaceous nothing between. My best guess is Fort Simpson formation so late devonian.
