Howdy! Been scoping this forum without an account for a long time and decided to make one because I'm scratching my head over this beach rock. I found it in Grays Harbor County on a beach behind the place I'm staying. It's got me stumped and I'm really just curious to know if anyone more experienced than I am can tell me if it's just rock inside of more rock or if there's a shell. I think the entire rock is about 25mm in length but I don't have a ruler on me (or printer unfortunately) since I'm just on a trip. The "shell" sticks out of the "matrix" slightly and looks like it could have horizontal bands? If it is anything it's very weathered. What gets me is that it looks like those bands have flaked in layers similar to bivalves I've prepped before. It's real small, so it's hard for me to tell. I'm honestly just really skeptical and want to know what it is haha. If it's a rock then cool. If not, cool. I'd just like to know whether I should put it on my collection shelf or not. Additionally if it is just a rock, please tell me how you know! I love to learn as much new info as I can to log it in my brain.

Hi there, I found a little strangely formed piece of rock some days ago. It was found at the brown coal excavation site of "Tagebau Inden" NRW, Germany. So it could come from everywhere in between 0-230m deep... (that´s the operational depth of the mine) The piece itself is about 10mm long and around 4mm in diameter. It is tube shaped and both ends seem to be broken off, so the piece is not whole. In addition, it seems to be (have been) hollow. There is a round little opening on each end. The tube has regular bumps on the outside, it somehow reminds me of sea urchins shell or other sea life / crustations shells or similar. Maybe I´m wrong, but it does not look like a simple stone Hope you can help me out. Thank you, h8cr8

Is this a fossil or a tiny fish looking mark on the rock?

Hi. Usually expecting to be told my find is just a rock, nonetheless, here I am, returning in hopes that potentially what I’ve come across isn’t a just rock this time. Hoping someone will help me with perspective on the potential of this find. Thanks.

I picked this up on the ground at a beach and I am wondering is this a fossil or a rock because the top seems to have bivalve similarities like lines in certain spaces, the top area has a different texture compared to the bottom and lower top regions, and has rings around it.

Found this in my yard and looks like a fiddler crab arm but I’m no expert just curious.

This was on a gravel bank in east Texas. There’s a lot of fossilized bone in this location. It has a scute-like shape, but i couldn’t find any good matches on my googler. Crazy guesses welcome!

I found this weird rock/fossil from a quarry in Wisconsin. Anyone know what it is? It’s about 2.25 in tall and 2.25 in across, 1.25 in wide.

This was found in a dry river bed at the time. I was told a multitude of things it could possibly be. Something from the inside of a saguaro or a kind of rock that forms and releases this stone. However I want to know as it's very interesting, any pointers are appreciated.

I have struggled with this rock for weeks. Every time I use an air pen on the lower portions that extend out, rather than popping off, the surface ”melts” into a white shiny powder-like substance that re-adheres and becomes a new hard surface. I’ve put it in hydrogen peroxide, in a sonic cleaner. I’ve tried abrasives. All it does it dry it out and create an empty honeycomb structure. There is no enamel which should have caused me to leave it in the ground, but its shape enchanted me. This is a rock, not a tooth, no?

I've had this for quite some time and it's always been interesting to me. But I am not sure if it's a Fossil or what it is? It has a different texture. It's about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

I found this near a lake. I know, not impressive, but I am still curious.

Found this at a spot along the Blanco river in Texas that is decent for finding Rams horn fossils. I am not very knowledgeable of fossils and rocks in general, any help will be appreciated
