  1. I was told this could be a memorial stone?

    hello all. Hope you’re doing well!! I found this when I was a kid on the bank of a river in northern Idaho just around the bend from a dam in Post Falls. I was told by a local rock guy that it looks like a kind of memorial stone I always thought it looked like a fossil but I was a kid. LOL...

  4. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Need help identifying - Fossilized Teeth?

    Hiya! Newbie based out of Austin. Always been a fan of history (received my degree in History from Texas State, but like most people, life took me another direction). Recently stayed at a cabin in AR and used the time to learn my new metal detector. No great finds - Broken horseshoes, nails...
  5. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED I found this piece a few years ago in N Az and began cleaning almost a year ago.

    I believe I can identify this item, but it would be controversial to say the least. If my identification is correct this would be "one of a kind" to say the very least. It would be absolutely groundbreaking and, up to this point, considered impossible. The fossilization of not only soft tissue...

I was hoping to learn the optimal way to stabilize a fossil like...

  11. Is this worth anything?

    I doubt very much that I would actually sell it. The this piece had gone through quite an epic journey to get to the place where it and I would meet, sparking new avenues of interest in me, and ushered in a personal evolution in my life through the learning of how its life kinda single handedly...
