Hi there, reposting with more information. I came across this in the Canadian Arctic, Nunavut. Realizing that the Arctic was once tropical, I am wondering if this is a fossil from that era. It is about 3 inches in length. Thanks!

Broken shell specimen found at Playa Esterillo Oeste, Costa rica
costaricajc posted a topic in Fossil ID
Is it possible to have an ID or at least an educated guess just with this fragments. I think the central pacific coast of CR started to form about 2 - 2,6 million years ago, this is what I found on the internet.

I'm trying to identify a few fossils I received from Cedarville, New York. I think they are mostly bivalves and one large ?gastropod. I assume they are Devonian but do not know for sure and have no other information besides coming from Cedarville. Ruler is inches (I apologize!) Thank you in advance for any help! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any information on this shell I found today at the Wrens Nest, Dudley, Uk. I've found many brachiopods there, but never a shell like this. It seems to bend at almost a 90° angle at its outer edge. I'm not sure if the pictures clearly show this. If it originally had one, the other half of the shell is missing.

Bought this guy in a souvenir shop at the Museum of Perm Prehistory in Perm Krai, Russia. This is all the info I got about the specimen, sadly.

Found these in a parking lot filled with rocks from a river. I’m pretty sure these are some kind of snail, my guess in Maclurites, anyone have any other suggestions at what they might be?

Hello, I found this today in paleocene aged kaolin. It has a strange “hook” shape and it looks somewhat like that of a hybodont clasper or maybe a stingray tooth of some type. It could also be a type of tusk shell or solitary coral but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I have acquired a Cambrian shell fossil that was collected with the following information: Cambrian, Jinning, Kunming, Yunnan, and the Quiongzhusi Formation. The shell is approximately 9 mm x 6 mm. Given that it appears to have growth rings and appears to be more similar to a bivalve than a brachiopod, I suspect that it is a bivalve. I would appreciate suggestions from other Forum members.

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.
