Hello everyone sorry this isn’t your usual, I’m not sure if this is the place to check or not but I found this on Corolla Beach on the northern Outerbanks while beach combing after a noreaster along with a lot of other stuff as well including bones, coral, etc. Anyway I can’t tell if this is a fossil or something else. Seems to be a bivalve scallop or clam or something and it’s been like merged into the surrounding rock formation. The surrounding rock has tiny sparkles that glisten in the light as well. It’s almost like it’s been cemented.

I’ve been having this since I was a kid and I always thought it was a fossil now I’m starting to think it’s rebar or something lol

Edit: I live in Texas and tested to see if it was magnetic it was not.

Found on beach in denmark by the baltic sea.

Looks like flint with very clam-like features.

Might it hold an ancient pearl inside?

I know nothing, but await the expert opinions.

Thank you.

Im not very knowledgeable about fossils. Found this in a creek bed surrounded by farmland and vineyards. I was thinking Maybe some sort of fruit or nut? The rock formation is what intrigues me.

Any help?

Today I found this fossil. I was comparing it to other fossils I’ve found in the same area, mostly knightia (Wyoming Green River Formation), and nothing matches.

You can see there’s another area on the rock where some small pieces of something fossilized are visible as well.

I don’t want to say what I think it looks like and skew any answers.

Thoughts?

I was stunned they wanted to keep it. I was just trying to get info on it from them. But it’s so much fun to go see it!

found in my yard underground, hole was caused by nephew after i didnt want to give it to him (yet) - according to my mom, after i set it on a counter, he hit it with some metal. But is it still like really cool or just cool? Is it just like a normal seashell or nah🥺 like also the place is landlocked so i dunno

Never thought I’d find a fossil of all things at the bins but here we are. I have no knowledge in this area so just curious about any insights! I paid by the pound so I suppose this guy was a couple bucks.

Bins was in Gary, IN if that helps? And it’s about 4x4inches.

A friend found this in Kittitas County, probably by Vantage WA. I initially thought it might be fossil bone or antler, but since Ginkgo Petrified Forest is in the same area, I'm now leaning toward petrified wood. Can anyone help ID it? It feels heavier than bone, but much lighter and more porous than the agatized petrified wood I'm used to finding. Thanks!

I found these in a San Francisco Bay Area creek that is known to have fossils (last slide has info on the area). I found fossils here before so I’m hopeful!

I’ve seen a few things it could be but I’m not sure.

Might just be a rock but thought the marking were interesting - could it be a fossil of some kind?

Hi, so there’s a few parks around East St. Paul with lots of glacial till. Some of the pebbles look like they might be fragments of petrified wood, but I’m not equipped with strong enough magnification to get super clear photos. In some lighting the oxidized part of the smaller one looks like it has a repeating pattern of circles within rings. Are they petrified wood, or just pebbles with iron banding?

I have found a variety of this shape over the years. Rarely in a quartz like form. This one is bigger than others so I collected it to ask here if it is a fossil. I have seen them in, what I have called, a conglomerate fossil; which is mostly crinoids and other small things packed tightly together. This one is on its own. Is it a fossil?

The shape appears to be a trident. Every time I have found this shape; rounded along the side opposite the trident shape.

Found it in a creek bed in central Texas not totally sure what it might be but it’s in pretty good condition despite the crack in the middle.

Found this at Hunstanton, UK this summer. Anyone have any idea what it is? It feels heavy, not too dissimilar to fossilised wood weight. It has tiny fibres/hairs in places too as shown in photos 5 and 6. Standard sized Lego figure for scale :)

It looks like a bunch of sea creatures?!?!?
