Can anyone tell me what this is please

Hello together, I have been wanting to replace the missing top of my favorite showcase with some selfcarved ornaments for a long time. The roof shaped bright part on top is what I had prepared for years, maybe I can finish it this decade. I thought about a "frontispiece" representing the life of the geologic ages with, for now: a Cambrian (?) trilobite an Ordovician carpoid (?) Silurian placoderm (?) Devonian spiriferid Carbonian plant Permian Pelycosaur Triassic Sauropterygian (with small ammonites?) Jurassic Stegosaur or Archeopteryx For the Cretaceous I thought about a Ceratopsid head in the top middle, alternative a sun/moon symbol in the middle with the Ceratopsian in pofile to its left. For the cenozoic I have not so clear an idea, or to many. could include an Archeocete. I hope for your suggestions, concrete species, replacements of my first selection... should be relatively simple forms (they will be anyway). Thanks in advance J

Out hunting today. Friend Dave, last hunt of the Season, a snowbird heading North. I was not finding much and he was, so he invited me to come dig in the hole he created. I started finding interesting fossils and , kept on thinking I am about to find a really good , rare fossil. I found some shark teeth and even a Meg. I found some pieces of Mammal teeth and a piece of fossilized wood.... A pretty little Glyptodon osteoderm A couple of Bullas, One Dolphin, maybe Stenella... The other... Whale.. Interesting .. Do whale Bullas come this small. Finally, I stopped looking for that "special" fossil.. I was hunting my favorite river, with a friend, it was warm and the sun was shining.... An unusual thing happened. Fred Mazza charters Peace River Fossil Hunting. As we were hunting a large group passed by. One women did a double take as she paddle a canoe past us and said to me " I know your face." As she passed she asked "Are you on some blog"? Answer: I am Shellseeker on TFF. Response I knew it was you!!! I think she recognized my Avatar... Black Wetsuit and baseball cap... Enjoy.

I was hoping someone can help me identify? Rocks, not myself.

Hi. I found these in southern Utah and thought they were petrified wood until I read somewhere petrified wood is smooth. Does anyone know what I have?

Found these nice fossils not on a planned hunting trip, but while working in the garden. We were filling up some flower pods whith gravel, in which i found them : 6 belemnites, 2 pieces of mineralized wood, 1 partial oyster shell, and 2 pieces of baltic jade. The highlights are definetly the pieces of wood because theyre quite rare up here and i have never found one before. Also one of them is beautifully preserved.

Going through my bucket of unknowns and no better way to describe this. Found in creek with mix of Cretateous and alluvial deposits. Originally thought it was wood, not so sure now, I've never seen these spots before that look like they're floating. So tiny hard to get clear pics of the white spots that look like a flower opening and some of the spots appear to be holes at the surface. Must be biological in nature I'm thinking but what? It's pretty whatever it is.

Can anyone tell me if this is a tusk, or a piece of wood? It’s about 16” long and 3” wide at the base

Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Help with finds from Charmouth, Dorset, UK
citronkitten posted a topic in Fossil ID
Greetings, I have 4 pieces from Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset that I am having trouble identifying. They were found during a fossil hunt led by the Charmouth Heritage Coast Center when they brought us to a stretch of beach between the Centre and Black Ven to the west. We would have been looking through the Black Ven Mudstone 'Shales with Beef' portion on the foreshore, which is from the Jurassic (no surprise, given the name of the area) period. Here are my best guesses: A = rolled bone, B = crinoid stem or coral, C = multiple bivalves and ammonite impression in matrix, D (the unlabelled one) = wood As always, corrections/confirmations/clarifications are much appreciated, as is your time for reading my post!

Confused by this fossil and hoping for some help learning how to differentiate. Fossil is approximately 3 1/2” x 4 1/2”. One side looks like bark, break patterns look like rock and line patterns are varied. Perhaps I’m overcomplicating?

I have this specimen sold as fossil wood (without other info) in my collection. The shape and circularity of the visible rings of crystals could confirm this, but actually I'm not sure about it- I'd like to hear the opinion of some experts. Thanks in advance.

I found this sticking out of a tall creek bank at water level, it doesn’t flake or leave residue like burned wood. Edge of woodbine and eagleford in far eastern Tarrant county. I’m guessing it’s petrified or at least very old? I appreciate in advance the confident explanations.

Hello everyone, So my husband and I are more rock than fossil fans but somehow we have these two things in our collection and i really want to know what they are and how old they are. The petrified wood was in a collection we bought from a guy who received it from a collector in France. The bivalve am i not really sure if it was in the same collection or my husband bought it from someone in Romania. Any help will be appreciated. I'm sorry for the quality of the photos.

Hi again, Everyone. I kept some more beach finds that caught my attention. I would love to hear what you think.

Hello, my friends. Several years ago I purchased this sample. Unfortunately, there was no information available for him. I found it interesting because of the center. I was hoping it might be a fern. Please help me identify it. Thank you Have a nice day

Hi again, everyone. Being the unashamed newbie that I am, I have some beach finds from around Venice, Florida that may be PORs (Plain Ol’ Rocks) or fossilized thingies. ‘Look familiar to anyone?

As a professional woodworker I have a soft spot for anything "tree" but this might take the cake. Not 100% but this does seem to be a petrified burl, I have never seen such a thing but me and my woodworking buddies have fantasized about it more than once. Any input to confirm or deny would be appreciated, though this is one of those cases I'd almost rather believe regardless of the reality, call it my Santa burl. Came out of oligocene deposits near Eugene Oregon

Hello I once found such a wood specimen in the gravel. Is it a Miocene or a deciduous tree? Best wishes

Here are things I collected in Judith River this summer that I can't identify. @jpc any help?

Hi all, I think I found a fossilized limb/log in the Woodbine formation in Flower Mound, TX. If not for one segment that retains the woody characteristics (branches/knots/rings) I might have dismissed this as a steinkern or burrow of some sort. I’m especially curious to know how common this is in my area and learn more about this type of preservation. I’ve found a fair amount of silicified/petrified wood in North Texas but this crumbly/barely intact/almost sandstone kind of preservation is a first for me. When I saw it at first I was certain it was a waterlogged chunk of firewood and I was startled when I realized it was definitely stone. I appreciate any insight the community can offer!
