This was given to me many years ago by a Texas fossil hunter, of course I didn't write down what he said it was or where it came from and haven't seen anything that resembles it except my box turtle which it definitely is not. Hoping someone recognizes it and this time I will make note!

I found this concretion a couple years ago and have wondered what it was ever since. I believe the exposure was Lincoln creek formation, which is late eocene to early miocene. It measures 1cm. Thanks in advance for the help, my apologies for the lousy photos.

As part 2 of my attempt to ID my recent Florida finds, I will present a variety of fossils collected from the Peace River area. @Shellseeker had given me an opinion on some, but I am forgetful and want to verify. Actually it may not be forgetfulness as much as wanting to get back to sifting for more fossils as Jack is talking to me, so I wasn't listening well!!! Hopefully not a chunkasaurus Can't remember if Jack said tapir or pecary Shrimp burrow? Another chunk of bone but it might be identifiable to those who deal with bone ?????????????????? Odd one to me Another possibly identifiable bone This feels light and airy. Are there crabs (modern) that live in fresh water or is this a fossil. claw core????? Another bone with joints visable Mammoth tooth fragments? Seems like something. This is an earbone but it is VERY tiny. I am used to finding much larger ear bones Horse tooth fragment? Hopefully something else. Tiny bony thing. I have no clue. Beat up tooth of something Again, I hope this is something other than a suggestive rock. Seems like hoof core??? Probably just stone, but the canal has me perplexed Unfortunately,my next photos didn't capture what looks very much like a tortoise spur. But this item has something attached underneath and confuses me. I think Jack verified barracuda teeth. Seems like something, maybe dinosaur egg!!!!!!!!!!

Having returned last week from a nice visit with my son in Florida, it was time to examine the fossils that I snuck home with. Eventually, I will make a trip report, but I need to identifying my unknowns first. So Here goes, and I might as well tag @MikeR right off the bat! The next unknown appears to be sponge like. In fact the largest one ACTUALLY FLOATS in water. So these are very light weight. I couldn't find sponges in the Tamiami, so maybe my formation is incorrect. The rubble that these came from contained much coral and large scallops. The next three are all on the same picture. The wind was howling and I had issues with these blowing away. So inbetween gusts, I took a quick group picture. These are TINY! These scallops have 17 to18 ribs I am guessing these are modern land snails but am not sure. The shell is VERY delicate. i Thanks for looking, Mike

About 500m ASL, we had fun, found a clay bank and tried for shark teeth. In the end everything was too fragile, the shells disintegrated as we extracted them and the only solid things were the infilled burrows. Thought I had to share anyway... it was a fun time. https://youtu.be/ZOMRLKpItPI and some photos of the lunk we bought out... that is crumbling fast.

Is anyone can help me to identify this tooth? It seem about 3 inches long. No further information known. thanks

Hello all, I found this fossil today at Portugal, Lisbon district, about 270 meters high. Anyone knows what it is? Thanks for your help. Best regards

Found this south of Green River, UT. Does anyone know if this is a fossil or what it is?
-
Could I have some help working out what this thing is?? My partner got this random fossil mix with nothing to tell you what anything is and this fossilised has got me stumped

OK gang, this one has me stumped. This is the last specimen from last year's final trip to the Kiewitz shale, Stoner Limestone, Stanton formation along the Platte River in Cass County Nebraska. I thought at the time, and until a few hours ago, that this was one of the disc shaped oncolites that have been found at that site and related sites in the area. I was playing with a recently LED upgraded microscope and found it had cellular structure barely visible. so I decided to do a laborious prep on it with a bicarb blast. It is in fact nothing I have ever seen before and is very fragile. Frustratingly, when I stabilized the fragile little thing, it made the structure less visible. So, I had to get creative as I realized too late all my scope cameras and adapters are sitting on my desk at work... Anyway, I have no clue what this is. the simplest solution is a disc shaped bryozoan, but the more I worked on identifying it, the less convinced it is within my skill level to identify. So, here we go:
-
Does anyone know what this is because I have looked around and have know idea what it is. I mean it might be a rock. I cant remember where I found it apart from that it was in England. Any help would be appreciated identifying this. If you need any more photos just say. Thank you.

From the Uni collection, found in a box with other assorted random fossils. sorry, no location data available
-
Just inquiring whether these are some kind of fossil print or just natural erosion. I believe it was a lake find in Northeast OH or river find in Southwest IL. If fossil, what from? Thank you!
-
I honestly don’t know what to say about this. Is it even an ammonite??? Looks so unusually lumpy. Found this deep in my collection without locality info or time period. The back has some kind of glue that has yellowed. I’ve got no idea how that got there...

What species of Morrison Formation Crocodile could this come from?
dinosaur man posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, this just arrived along with a few other teeth, and I was wondering if it was possible to identify which species it could be. It’s a Crocodile indet. tooth from the Morrison Formation Is all I know. Thank you for any reply’s

I was walking on a countryside path in York (UK) and a strange rock on a plowed land captured my attention. It has a strange shape that looks to me as a fragment of bone close to its epiphysis which seems broken. The cross section is composed of three layers, the central one brownish-red, the middle one white (both very solid) and the most external one is like rock but a bit porous to touch. Do you think it can be a fossil bone? If yes, what could it be? First image as size reference.

Found this on the beach today at Flag Pond Nature Park in MD, known for Miocene era fossils. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I just got a small lot of trilobites in the mail and I’m not really sure what I’m dealing with. It wasn’t very pricey for these 5 bugs plus a low grade Moroccan trilo that I know the ID of. So I figure I’ll buy now ask later lol. these 2 seem to be the same trilobite I’m just totally unsure from where. I’m guessing China maybe? pretty sure this is the well known Pseudogygities from Canada...or maybe it’s a similar genus? these almost look like cousins to Olenellus with the body plan. Seems like a Cambrian bug but i don’t really know for sure. Maybe another Chinese trilobite? apologies for lack of scale bar....not sure where my ruler went so I had to settle for a not so great pen for scale Thanks!! Hopefully someone knows for sure! Al

Hi all I been asked by someone who is a little shy and new to fossils. They got themselves a auction lot of fossils but sadly no locations or ID info . I have helped with most of the lots but I would like a second opinion on these two items and vertebra . Thank you all Bobby.

This here is a very odd partial fossilized something from the Upper Triassic Lockatong Formation of New Jersey. Not to sure what to make of it, it has a dark core atop with whiteish suggestive shapes. Not sure if this is bone, coprolite, plant or what not. Interested in hearing other opinions.

Massive longshot with this one because I literally have no info other than it being a dinosaur vert. The seller bought a bunch of antiques and collectables and this was included listed as just "dinosaur vertebra". Some of the other fossils he has listed are clearly Moroccan--Mosasaur, Onchopristis etc, but this one definitely doesn't look Moroccan to me. SO, getting an ID is a massive longshot, but perhaps someone can recognize it and narrow it down a bit. I messaged seller for more info, but ... that's it unfortunately.

Found this on a rocky beach in Southern California and have no clue what it could be. Both sides are almost Ying yang like. Let me know if you have any clues!

I came across this scute in Colorado, b ut I can't tell if it is turtle, croc or something else. It was thin and brittle and had to be glued. Just under 2 inches long. Any opinion is appreciated.

This is a fossil I collected at the Long Pond Road Site along the Erie Canal in Greece, New York. It is from the middle Silurian Rochester shale. Some interesting perpendicular lines can be seen along the edge of it. I have looked for other fossils similar to this one and have found nothing. The American dime is 1.8cm in diameter.
