Hey guys, I came across this “oviraptor egg” and was tempted to buy it. However, it is being sold very cheap and is from China, where a lot of faux fossils are made. Would anyone know whether this is real? Thanks

From the album: Delaware Fossils
Two Exogyra cancellata shells from the Cretaceous spoils of Reedy Point, Delaware. Although Exogyras typically detached themselves from their anchorage while still very small - about 2-3 cm - these two animals continued to live and grow together. The lower valve is about 10 cm on the long axis. -

Hi, this was in my batch of eggshell. Quite unusual. I am wondering if it could actually be a small bit of Turtle shell? It doesnt look like any bit of eggshell Ive seen yet. It is tiny, so I hope the photos are good enough. Thanks

Hello all Apologies in advance for the newbie questions… As mentioned, I’m new to Fossil hunting (today was my first trip) and I found a few things I’d like some help identifying (species and possible age). I would love to get your thoughts on these finds as well as any helpful tips/tricks for hunting and cleaning fossils.. Cheers!

Long shot, could these scratches on an eggshell be predation marks?
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Fossil ID
Another curious little piece with multiple tiny scratches. Its a long shot, but could this be some type of predation? The shell is only 2 cm long though. Its the only shell piece among the bag with scratches on it like this.

Hey everyone, long time lurker here. Got a case of mistaken identity, hoping someone can point me in a direction however vague, though I know it's a longshot since there's no location/formation info. I'm sorting out some storage boxes and found a box of assorted fossils from when I was a kid, mostly gifts and things found in tourist shops, junk/charity shops etc. I vaguely remember this being from the latter... and it's in a nice little box with a label... only problem is, that is NOT a brachiopod! XD Anyone recognise this one? I'm in the UK, not that I suppose it makes much difference. Sorry for the photo quality. Hopefully they upload ok. Scale is in CM, shell is about 5.5cm long.

Hi everyone this is Matt again. Can anyone tell me what kind of shells these are ? They are all over the fossil.

I went collecting at the Eocene Whiskey Bridge Locality and found a number of oysters (I presume) that I cannot find good IDs for online. I was wondering if anyone here had a better idea. I additionally found some bone fragments that I am curious about, though I don't know how well they can be ID'd.

Members of the Hamulus genus are easily confused with Scaphopoda (tusk shells) and were originally identified as such. The shells are curved tubes ending in a point, with smooth interiors. Hamulus squamosus begins with less pronounced ornament and grows wider longitudinal ridges as it matures1. 1. Survey, Maryland Geological.

When I was a kid I found this bivalve fossil and now looking at it, I think it lived attached to something on one side. You can see how one of the shells is deformed in a wierd way. Is it a known and common phenomenon? Also I would like if one of you can help me get an ID on this bivalve.
