Hi all, I found this strange looking rock like object in a creek bed in central west Queensland. I don't know if it is a fossil of some strange rock. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Cheers, Andrew

Hello, I found this one deep in the desert near the Organ Mountains outside Las Cruces NM. I am not familiar with the age of the area. This piece is super cool to just look at and let your pareidolia run with it. Looking for help to identify. It's dimensions are 12x6x8 inches

Picked this up in some gravel from the Brazos river I have no idea what this might be. Sorry I still have not found my measuring tape or ruler.

So many shark, dinosaurs topic! Now I want to see your favourite and more particular fossil mammal! It can be your rarest or your strangest fossil but the fossil you love the most. Let me start with this partial juvenile metailurus mandible from Hipparion red clay of Gansu. The erupting tooth still preserve a perfect micro crenulation, I just love it.

Hello, I am completely new to fossil hunting. I recently found this in my back yard while filling in a hole that had been dug a few months back. I don't know if it's fossil, natural formation or garbage. I'm hoping the Fossil Forum members can help ID it for me. It was found in the far west part of the panhandle of Florida. I know the ground here has been disturbed in the recent past and it's possible fill dirt has been brought from somewhere else locally. At it's widest it is about 2.5", the thin cross section is about 1/4" and the tuber looking part is oval in shape , 3/4"x5/8". Thanks in advance for all your help.

Found what appears to be a mushroom while arrow head hunting in Arkansas. Is this a mushroom? Is it valuable, and if so what is it worth? Thanks!

Hi all, This is a tiny little find from a creek here in Florida. It could be nothing more than a polished bit of fossilized bone with some coincidental marks, but the markings are odd to me. I haven’t found bone pieces with such symmetrical and aligned cuts like this before. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what this may be?

Repair on carcharodontosaurus tooth?
Per Christian posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone This tooth is one is like to buy if it's no repair, but it's a strange one. It looks as if it's supposed to have repair because the contours are off. But the enamel is really pretty. What say people here? Repairs?

So I've been following this fossil for awhile now, there was a fossil that was found in the Marl Slate of NE England. It has odd traits compared to the usual fish found in the slate, as it has a elongate body. This is the link to the original article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10361199 Is it possible to determine if its fish or another vertebrate like an amphibian? Do any of you know of any species of elongate Permian Fish species?

Hi everyone, just came across this site trying to figure out what I just found. Discovered in the salt water in Chatham, MA, US. I have no clue whether this is current or ancient, terrestrial or marine, etc. You can see the next set of teeth still in the bone. It's about 10 cm long, and the largest tooth is about 1 cm wide.

I found this on my walk through the park here on the gravel drive... Location West of Houston Texas The gravel came from a deposit from the Brazos River Its odd appearance made me pick it up...what in the heck is it though??

Not sure what to make of this, I first thought that maybe it was part of a large gastropod shell but after digging it out of the sandstone boulder it was in, it looks as if that may be almost the complete specimen. Looks to be about 80% complete. Anyone have a clue as to what this might be?

Hello, This strange fossil was found in Egypt by my mother. It's roughly 4 inches long and weighs a little under 1 kg. It's shaped like a pear and has four holes, three at the bottom and one on the side towards the tapering top. See attached photos. Side: Front (I assume?): The three holes at the bottom: Any guess as to what this could be? Thanks in advance!

Found this strange fossil in a creek in south central missouri. Itsabout 2 feet wide and is a piece of a much larger piece that is the bed rock of the creek. I have no idea as to what it is

Recently I was in one of those rock shops (that sells minerals and fossils and stuff), there was a bunch of cool things, but i only bought this little tooth. I have no idea what it is (a sign simply said "dinosaur teeth", but i'm not sure about that), and no idea from where it is or how old it is, so that's why i'm asking here. Normally I would be able to identify it myself, but as you will be able to see in the pictures it has an unusual feature.

Hello there guys, I recently visited a cave up in the Mediterranean mountains with a group of fellow fossil hunters, among the fossilized water droplets covering the floor I found this strange specimen, I have found many fossils during my fossil hunting lifetime but I am not very good at identifying them. I'd really appreciate any help on what this is, to me it looks like anything from a fossilized skull to a fossilized sapling. I doubt it is a sapling though seeing as I found it in a cave. Thank you

As title says, had it forever and never knew what it was
