Recently stumbled across this, possible, fossil in Capitola Beach, CA. I found an assortment of fossilized shells but was unsure of this find. Anyways, I’m new to fossil hunting and don’t have an exceeding amount of experience, so any knowledge regarding what this could possibly be would be helpful. Thanks!

Good morning folks. I have another (yes, another) unidentified fossil in dire need of an identification because it's getting lonely in that drawer. I believe this was a flea market buy (many years ago) without any information. Can anyone help?

Good evening folks. I have an unidentified ammonite from the Tucson Mineral Show, that's all the information I have. Does anyone know what the larger species is? I believe the small, white item was glued on.

Lost all my documentation on this item. If I remember correctly it was listed as an "acorn shell?" Is it? My guess is coral or bryozoan. Help please.

Hi people. I am an amateur fossil hunter and I have come across this flint on my local beach. I don't expect it to be anything special but I'd like to learn more about it if you all would be kind enough to share some of your hard acquired knowledge. Unfortunately I know next to nothing in regards to the specimen so I'm relying on you guys to give me a start. Located on a the Sheringham, Norfolk, England beach after some large stormy seas Other common finds in this area are belemnites but of a orangery brown colour I hope this is enough to give even a brief idea Many thanks in advance for any information

Going through last year's finds I found a few things that I don't recognize. All are from Pennsylvanian marine limestone. The first few all appear to be fish material of some kind. I find plenty of chondrichthyan teeth, but none of these look like any teeth I've seen, although they may be partials. Possibly some kind of bony fish scale? All images were taken under a microscope, no scale cube but they all are about 1/2" at the widest point. #1) #2)

3 cm high 2 cm long half a centimeter deep, Rogersville Alabama Half mile from the river mixture of red dirt brown dirt and some sand. This area was all Underwater for millions of years and then it was home to Native Americans, then white settlers. It’s near a plantation that grew cotton, but was closer to the slave quarters then it was the actual Cottonfield.I would say it’s a piece of sponge because it has some porous off white or light brown material in between the dark gray, light brown areas in red. I think the red might come from iron rich dirt and is responsible for some of the purple hued areas also. To be honest it does look like a wad of bubble gum that you would get from under your desk I put a Dremel grinder to it and it didn’t really do much damage it looked the same when I was done. Of course I didn’t want to mess up all of it. Any guesses or any other prep work I should do to get it more detail would be much appreciated thank you. I’ll post another couple of pictures under this maybe that will help

Hi I found this and am wondering is this a new species of tyrannosaur I don’t think it’s albertosaurus libratus because it is in a collection with gorgosaurus libratus and albertosaurus sarcophagcus so if it was albertosaurus libratus there would not be any specimens named gorgosaurus libratus there are other specimens then just this tooth too any information? Thanks.

No idea what I have here. Just intrigued me because there is a circular impression on one side. Absolutely no idea what it might be if it's fossil trace. More likely some geological effect. Thoughts? It's about 3.5 inches long. Myrtle beach find.

I'm posting this for a friend who found this little oddity mixed in with broken shells on North Myrtle Beach. My first thought was vertebrae but it seems to lack an obvious center hole, although the white spot in the first picture looks like it could be a filled-in hole. I haven't seen it in person so I can't describe it any better than that, and sorry for the photo quality...not my pics. I know that's not much to go on, but any thoughts on what it could be would be much appreciated.
