Asking help identifying two fossil specimens, locations unknown
Agateyes posted a topic in Fossil ID
Good afternoon everyone, I’m reaching out today in hopes of getting some information on two specimens. I have no location based information , unfortunately. The first reminds me of petrified wood and stromatolite, it’s a huge faced specimen. The color is darkish red, almost a limonite yellow and some mixes of other feint colors. It looks partially agatized as well. It’s a super cool piece. The second specimen is aquatic based I’m sure, it looked sort of like coral at first glance. After further inspection I’m unsure, so I figured I’d reach out. The specimen is large, 9x5x4 and weighs in over 5 pounds. It looks as if some of it might be a conglomerate, I’m unsure. It looks partially calcified and agatized as well. I appreciate your time and consideration in advance as always. Enjoy the day, Regards, Mike

Does anyone happen to know if the item in the attached photos is a fossil? Or any idea what it is for that matter? I don't know it's origins unfortunately. I apologize for not being able to be more help. It is something I have had for many years and wondered about. Finally getting around to seeking answers. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi - we have another curious find, hoping someone here can give us some insight on what this is. We initially picked it up thinking it was a small piece of petrified wood. But upon closer inspection it looks to maybe be bone or septarian or ? The dark outer layer has a reptile-like pattern on the top side, and a smoother (more weathered?) appearance on the underside. I’ve attached a bunch of photos hoping they will help. This was found on a beach in southern Oregon. It’s about 3cm x 5 cm. Thanks…

I have no idea what this really is. I found it when I was digging a new flower bed in my garden. It is from the east coast of the united states off of the coast of Delaware near the Atlantic ocean (I live less than a mile to the ocean). It looks like something to me, but are my eyes playing tricks on me? I can take more pictures. The rock sparkles, making some of the pictures hard to see, I picked the best I could.

I have had this fossil since I was a child but have never had it identified. Now my son is curious about it so we thought we would see if we could find out something about it. It was found by an uncle near Praha, TX (between San Antonio and Houston) about 40 years ago if memory serves. The fossil in the middle is 1 3/8" x 3/8". The stone has a strange feel that's hard to describe. Maybe like clay or really old chewed-up chewing gum! Thanks for your help. (And sorry for the tags - I needed three so made some stuff up.)

I found this last week beachcombing on Sand Key in Clearwater Florida. Just curious...At first I thought it was just a sea rock with worn holes. But then I noticed the tapered shape and the graduated concave grooves and center hole. Thinking maybe it is the mold of the inside of a seashell? Normally I don't find fossils there but sea was rough and I did find a piece of a fossil dugong bone the same day, which I normally never find there. It measures about 1.25" by 1.25" by 1 1/8". Darker color in grooves and center hole with some charcoal and golden brown hues. Any ideas what this could be?
