Hello friends! My husband found this incredible beautiful fossil I believe! When we rinsed it. It turned red! It is completely crystals. Pieces have broken off and they are completely crystallized! It looks like a clump of broken bones and shells! But I can’t find anything exactly like it on the internet. Sorry if that is too many pictures. It is just so incredible with so many neat aspects! I wanted to catch them all and still couldn’t. Thank you in advance! Please help?

I am entirely ignorant in this field, but recently came across this set of presumably fossilised impressions in a flat rock forming part of the sea wall pier at the harbour town of New Quay in Wales (https://maps.app.goo.gl/eWEBRhN8o2yz8yFw6), and found them rather intriguing. I hope my (UK size 9) feet give sufficient scale. Can anyone shed any light for me, please? Thanks in advance, Barry

This is a second post on this rock I found. It appears to be a crystallized fossil of a rattlesnake. I need someone to tell me if I’m wrong or maybe I’m correct. Pictures of the head and the rattle

ive encountered these shiny rocks and would like to find out what they are. like all other they are found on the beach near aarhus denmark and the scale is metric. ive tried my best to get closeups. unlike most shiny rocks i find, their refraction seems very colorful similar to how fish scales play in the light and show many different colors depending on the angle despite having a uniform color any information is welcome

I’m batting a 1000 with my identifications. This I know will continue my streak I’m sure. However I need to know if fossils can become crystal. Can a bone and tissue become quartz?

Hi All, I'm new on the forum. I found an interesting find on the beach in Kitty Hawk, NC. It almost looks like a petrified shark tooth. It's very smooth about 4 CM tall. I guess it could be just a rock, but I thought it would be worth asking.

Just have a curious mind and the more I look it over the more it makes me think it’s not a ordinary rock The edge is bladed just like a tooth is on one side 🤷♂️

Found amongst horn coral and shell fossils. Picked up because it looked weird and not sure if it’s a rock or actually a fossil. Was told it could be a clam. Wanted some more opinions. Thanks!
