Hi, amateur fossil hunter here (haven’t even been doing it for a month now) so i need a little help with trying to figure out what this fossil is. I’m most certain it is a fossil due to the hollow, almost tube/funnel like shape of it. From what i know on human anatomy, it could maybe be a phalanx of something? Maybe i’m just getting my hopes up. these are the photos next to a q-tip, which is 4 inches. (I know that’s a terrible way to measure things but it’s the best thing i’ve got.)

Hello, I found this as well as several more in different sizes in the woods near my home in Northern Michigan. Can anyone give me a clue what it might be? It is hard to tell from the photos, but many parts of this appear to be crystalized. Mostly inside the "holes". I have looked ALL over the area on hikes and have never come across anything even similar to this. They seem to be in just the one area.

Yesterday (Saturday, Aug. 22nd), I went fossil hunting in Ellsworth County, Kansas again for elusive Dakota Sandstone leaves and unfortunately it's mostly a bust, just like the previous trip. Despite that, I enjoyed the scenery and found some odd rocks and few fossils from new sites. A new site produced a few small plates containing woody and plant material fragments. I decided not to keep them. Closer views... Remember that interesting sandstone from the previous trip? I regretted for not taking it home so I took another opportunity and revisited the old site to get that rock! The back of this rock is quite smooth and flat, I think it would be great to have it hang up on the wall, but I'm actually not sure how I will display it. Looking at it is like reading a 3D map! It's the only object I brought home from this trip. It's peaceful out there and the views of the Smoky Hills never gets old. ...continued on the next post.

Hi all, I'm an extreme amateur looking to try my hand at fossil hunting. I live in the triangle region of North Carolina and I've been trying to do some research about what I can expect to find. I live in an undeveloped area and have lots of woods and several creeks around that I was planning to explore. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should look for or what there is to find in this area? Also, if there are specific things I should look for, what's the best method to find them?

Found on dirt road in upturned mud in woods of Rhinelander Wisconsin. Looks to have rooted flat upper and lower teeth. I believe if it is a fossil it is glacial washout from somewhere else. Sorry the image quality is terrible and I know it decreases identification chances but it's all I have to send. If it is a fossil skull what might it be?
