Last month I collected fossil shells at several exposures in Virginia of the Late Miocene Eastover Formation (Cobham Bay Member) and Early Pliocene Yorktown Formation (Sunken Meadow Member). While my intention was to focus on the larger fossils, when I got home and started to clean my finds, I thought it would be cool to screen the excess debris and see what else I had found. Although I ended up finding a lot of tiny shells and shell fragments, they require a microscope to see and the fine details have made identification challenging. I have consulted several publications on these formations and yet I am a bit stumped on these last ten fossils. Any help further narrowing these down would be greatly appreciated! Eastover Formation #1 #2- Gari sp.? #3- Nucula sp.? Yorktown Formation #4 #5 #6- Chama congregata? #7- Chama congregata? #8 #9 #10

Hello, I found this close to Jebel Hafeet, AL Ain, UAE (United Arab Emirates). I found many other calcite crystals in the location, but this one stuck out. Growing on top of the calcite was some gypsum (I assume, since I could scratch it with my nail) and inside of the gypsum there appeared to be iron. Can someone confirm that this is what it is? I don't collect so many minerals, but this is definitely a keeper.

Got this off online, because I thought it was pretty cool looking. Seller didn't know what it was and described it as a reptile. I don't think it's an alligator. I am fairly certain it is some sort of fish, and that the bottom of the fish is exposed. There was no locale given, I only know it shipped from Minnesota.

Hello, here is a fossil I found a few years ago in Israel, I do not remember any more information about the place it was found in because as I said it was a few years ago. I think this fossil is interesting but unfortunately I don't have much general fossil knowledge so I don't know what could this fossil be. I would love to here any ideas about what can this fossil be and also I added a picture with a mask for scale.

Hello again Fossil friends! I have another fossil I need help with. Found with other shell and coral fossils in a river shore in north eastern Kansas, most likely Pennsylvanian. It looks to be maybe a sponge with exterior and interior... structure? Couldn't figure this one out. Maybe someone with more knowledge can ID it for sure.

Hello! I'm asking for another person who found these fossils in southern Sweden (Kristianstad). There is sites around this region which have fossils from the cretaceous period so Im thinking it is plausible that these also are cretaceous. I've numbered each fossil to make it easier to talk about them and to id what type of fossils they are.

Hello All, I wonder if this trilobite is the common kingii, or is it another species? I believe it must be a trilobite from Utah, but my knowledge is still small. Thank you for taking a look!

I recieved this ammonite as a freebie with another, larger ammonite. It is pretty tiny, maybe .7 inches across at the largest. Can anyone identify the species, so I can label it on my shelf?
-
Just inquiring whether these are some kind of fossil print or just natural erosion. I believe it was a lake find in Northeast OH or river find in Southwest IL. If fossil, what from? Thank you!
-
I honestly don’t know what to say about this. Is it even an ammonite??? Looks so unusually lumpy. Found this deep in my collection without locality info or time period. The back has some kind of glue that has yellowed. I’ve got no idea how that got there...

Hello everyone - I'm a new member, and although I don't know much about fossils, I did find this on Morris Island, South Carolina, in 2015. I haven't been able to properly identify it, and I was wondering if someone could help me? It is about 1.25 inches (3.18 cm) in length and width. Thank you!
