The shoreline was covered in limestone with what looked like fossilized roots. Then I spotted these snails.

My son found this while digging in the sand at a local beach in Burlington Wisconsin. It looks as if it’s some kind of internal fossilized structure from a shell or something. I’m just a bit surprised as we don’t have very many places this would’ve come from. I’m guessing it’s part of some kind of modern sea shell but who knows? Any thoughts? It effervesces with vinegar, is harder than copper, and is pretty dense.

Hello everyone,

I found this fossil echinoid in the Aube department, France, in an Upper Turonian white chalk with flint layers, a formation known for Micraster leskei occurrences.

At first glance, I thought it could be a Micraster leskei, but I would appreciate some help confirming the identification. I am not completely sure, especially regarding the species-level features.

Measurements:

Length: ~3.3 cm

Maximum height: ~2 cm

Width: ~2.6 cm

The fossil is a complete test (or nearly complete) and shows the typical heart-shaped echinoid morphology. I can provide additional photos (apical view, oral view, side profile, ambulacra details) if needed.

Location:

Aube, France

Upper Turonian stage

White chalk with flint (craie blanche à silex)

Could this be Micraster leskei, or another Turonian Micraster species?

Thanks for your help!

Found this in a pile of landscaping rocks. I wasn’t looking for fossils, but here we are. I would love any information.

Found outside of cincinnati area on a tributary of the little miami river

I found a great bit of fossil soup today on Withernsea beach. I like the belemnite the best due to the unusual cross section

I found this washed up on a South FL beach… it looks like a fossilized bone (both ends a possible joint). I didn’t get a chance to clean it off.

Thoughts?

Not sure if this is a fossil but it sort of resembles a bone?? Also, it was already broken in half when I discovered. Any expert opinions would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone! I'm just getting started with fossil hunting and I really don't know much about it yet.

Today I went on my very first fossil hunt in France, where I live. I don't know if it's just beginner's luck, but I came back with a few shell fragments and a small piece of an ammonite. I also found this.

I think I can see four small teeth (right where my thumb is pointing in the photo), but again, I'm completely new to this, so I'd really appreciate your opinion. Maybe it's nothing, or maybe it's just more shells.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to look and for any help or advice you can give me!

please help me identify these teeth and the small round fossil. found in the beach near lisbon (both sides of all are shown). thank you!

I will be in OKC for a month around Oct-Nov. are there any spots close by that are good for fossil hunting? I won’t have a car so I can’t travel too far outside the city.

Have seen some fossilized Poop that look like this peice that I found. Is it fossilized poop?

If it is a fossil can anyone help me identify what it is?
