No idea in anything to do with this shell
-
I think at least one of them are marsh creepers. I found them in Abbey Wood, a famous Eocene area.
-
I would highly appreciate your opinion about this formation . Marine , Pliocene or Pleistocene age, Greece . Could be algae , bryozoa ?

I found this long cylinder sticking out of the creek wall few weeks ago. I had no choice , but to break it from the rock. Ended up in several pieces. I'm not quiet sure 100 percent what this is. I searched the forum, but can't figure out other than Rudist.

Hey y’all what’s up my dudes. To be completely honest I’m not even sure if this is a fossil. This come from a late uncle of mine, I inherited his collection, and most of the contents are unlabeled. Anyway Here are some pictures.
-
I keep trying to twist this fossil around thinking it will come out a marine or cetacean (atlas or axis) vertebrae. Something like a rubik cube. Any one recognize a feature? The fossil is L 3.25 x W 1.5 inches .

I have shown several of these things to a number of micro-paleontologist, paleontologist, geologist and marine biologist and no one seems to know for sure what these specimen are. They were found in a sandstone boulder with bivalves fossils, they range in size from about 3mm to about 0.20mm. I'm told that they are most likely a new foraminifera species. Anyone have a clue???

Three different people have posted what I think is a very similar if not the same fossil. In my original post I said it was Mississippian. However, I did purchase it from a dealer that described where he found it. I was not there. He was elderly at the time so there could have been confusion. I think he has passed now, so no way to know Let's assume age is unknown. Here are the other postings. https://photos.app.goo.gl/BCMTpriMfuSoaCi79

Lulworth is a late Jurassic to Mid Cretaceous area.

Are these Belamnite Spikes? Found at Lyme Regis. It is an early Jurassic area.

They were found in Lyme Regis, a Jurassic area. Could anyone try and identify them? Also, does anyone have any tips on how I could make them look better?

I don't have a clue as to what these tiny things really are. These were found inside of a sandstone boulder that was broken apart, which was full of marine fossils. The size of the entire area seen in the first photo is about 8mm x 10mm and 0.50mm thick. I'm having a very difficult time wrapping my brains around what I'm looking at here, all of those tiny white dots appear to be embedded in some sort of resin-like material and connected by a web-like structure. That web-like structure is very similar to what you see with bryozoans, diatoms and radiolarians but I can not find anything that looks like these things. Anyone have any ideal as to what these things really are?????

I found these ammonites in the Isle of Wight ~8 years ago, roughly in this condition (bit more mud). I found them on a non-fossil beach, and they are basically what got me into the whole thing. I’d love to know more about them pls! I don’t know the exact beach i found them on, but I know it was a Cretaceous area.

I think it’s Favositid Tabulate Coral Found in Eganville Canada
-
Found in Eganville Canada, I know it’s some kind of shell but can anyone be more specific?
KingSepron posted a topic in Fossil ID
Found in Eagletown. One more photo to come

The first specimen is about 0.70mm long and the last one has a diameter of 1.4mm. I searched all 166 pages at marinespecies.org and came of two look-a-likes for the first specimen, they were, triloculina and quinqueloculina. The last specimen sorta looks like something named reophax subfusiformis. I can't say for sure if those are the correct species for these but it's a place to start. I've come across hundreds of these things and to date only about 3 can be identified by scientist.
-
These are surrounded by rock so they don't stand out as well as the last ones I posted. These are about the same size of the last ones so I wonder if they are the same species. The small ones to the left are about 22 mm long with a diameter of 2.00mm, the large one to the right with a section missing in the middle is 40mm long with a diameter of 3.40mm. The way these things are positioned makes them look so much like actual worms. I have searched the web over and can not find anything that is close to looking like these specimen, have also contacted a number of paleontologist and none can say for sure what these thing are.
-
Any idea of the type of this marine invertebrate ? Most probably marine worms and Pleistocenic but any sugestion welcome.
-
Please can someone help identify pictured fossil. We found 2 of similar shape, with outer shape resembling a stingray, but the spine in the middle seems to be a much simpler structure then that of a stingray

Have been prepping out a few bits and pieces encased in matrix to see if anything interesting. This is from the Toolebuc formation in Central Queensland Australia. The formation is Albian about 100 million years old. My best guess is this is a skull piece (partial quadrate) the bit the jaw hinges on from a marine reptile. There appears to be three teeth socket points looking at what I assume to be the bottom. The problem with that idea is they are only 5 to 10 mm deep and too close to the hinge point. The specimen is only a partial bone but hoping complete enough for someone to recognise to the general species from photos. Thanks for all feedback in advance. I may need to retake some photos from slightly different angles. Mike

These two items were found in a gravel deposit in west central Alabama, US. The larger is a bit over 1 inch long and the smaller about 1/2 inch. Can anyone help me identify what they are?
-
Nice tooth found in Richmond, Queensland of Creataceous age in marine sediments. It has been id as a sharks tooth but is missing the top section. Any more info on this tooth would be great. Cheers

Figured I’d post one more while I’ve got the collection out. When I was younger, my grandfather had a gravel driveway put in. I assume it came from Ohio, although I have no idea in truth. I frequently picked through it and found a few fossils. The gravel is clearly made of marine sediment for the most part - I’ve found brachiopods, trilobite fragments, shells, etc. I just wonder what these two could be? The first one has a couple of different structures in it - I’m thinking sponge or coral for the main part. The second, I have no idea. It looks footprint-ish, but this doesn’t make sense due to the marine nature of the gravel. Any ideas? Thanks, Nate

What is this strange object? Is it a bone? A possible fossil? It was collected on the shore of Northumberland Strait, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The strata at this location are generally late Permian, I believe. Thank you for any help you can provide. - John

It feels good to get back to river hunting, slightly early this year. My hunting friend found this bone and asked if I could get an ID. There seems to be some features that possibly identify the "type" of bone (humerus, scapel, etc) versus which animal. It is 3.2 length x 1.1 height (inches). Found in the Pleistocene - miocene mix that is the Peace River. However, most of the associated fossils were shark, fish or marine mammal (porpoise earbone & verts), so marine is a possibility. ALL comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated. Jack
