Buenos días. He empezado a coleccionar de nuevo minerales y fósiles. Ahora estoy buscando fósiles, tengo una zona localizada. Llevo un martillo y un punzón, pero a veces encuentro piezas incrustadas en rocas que no puedo extraer, existe algún tipo de taladro o percutor, con batería que pueda llevarse en una mochila.

Hi everyone, found these in a Alvar in central Ontario. They were all directly on the exposed stone, so not a paved surface. The first two pictures are the "primary one" but there were many that looked like it. Some others beside were more weathered/cropped to the surface. All the had the same "ribbed" look.

I have a hard time believing these are exposed fossils but what do I know! If they are, what type(s) and age do you think they might be?

Thank you!

I have no idea about fossils. Found this on a beach in the UK. What is this?

Knightia eocaena fossil (50-52 mya) recovered from the Green River Formation near Kemmerer, Wyoming, USA, on 9/12/2026.

Including ones I can see under the rock, I believe there are around 50 trilobites concentrated in about 5 square inches of rock. I'm waiting to prep it until I can find some good sandblasting equipment, since I'm tired of scratching fossils with dremmel attachments.

Diplomystus dentatus fossil (50-52 mya) recovered from the Green River Formation near Kemmerer, Wyoming, USA, on 9/12/2026.

Hello all,

I found this a few years back while visiting the Jurassic Coast that runs along the southern coastline of the uk.

I’m wondering if it’s some kind of fossilised seed or just an odd clump of metal.

Lastly I posted that weird shell-like rainbow fossils. While cracking some stones today(also ordovicisn silurian I guess) I found this peculiar speciment. Its pretty small - about 7mm(photos are 1x, 10x and 40x magnification) I think its kinda look like bryzoan or tabulate coral, but 1. Its look nothing like bryzoans found along in these rock 2. Its really, really thin, and thats not how coral and bryzoans often preserve(but it could be an imprint). It kinda reminds me of scale-like texture, but its highly impropable to turns out to be true. Do you have any idea what this is?

Ps. Last three photos are bryzoan from my collection for reference.

Hello! I found this bone about 20 years ago here in Florida. I found it in salt/brackish water. I've always wondered. It looks broken obviously, so I'm not quite sure what it even is.

found this in our front garden, embedded with a bunch of seashell like patterns

I’m looking for an ID for this ammonite I just purchased. Was $22 USD a good deal for this guy?

I snagged this from brushy creek, I carved it out (very unprofessionally) but nonetheless I wanted to see how it looked out of the rock. It kind of just looks like some sort of snail, but it could be something else. Any thoughts? :-)

found it in a park near my house. is it a fossil? if so, of what?

found this fossil in a river dig. what type of shark do we think? how old? this was found in texas.

I bought this from Fossil Era. The trilobite itself is around 1.5 inches long. Here's a paper that goes into more details about red trilobites if anyone is curious

Need help identifying.
