fossil

I found a few interesting things in Indiana around the Bloomington area and I was wondering if I could get information on them. It's sort of a random lot, but I figure someone may have a better idea than me. Any guesses would be much appreciated!

Here is another find from the Bloomington, Indiana area. It was covered in moss in the woods a little ways from Indian creek. I thought it was a geode because of the unusual shape, but once I started soaking it to dissolve the rock, I realized it was a fossil. Now to just figure out what kind...

Hello wonderful fossil-people! I usually hang out in the Native American Artifacts forum but today I'd show up here instead. If you and you're gang enjoy solving a groovy mystery, I have a post for you! This rock was found in an area of Northern Arizona that is very well know for producing lots...

I've posted this on several ID sites (Facebook, Fossil Forum, etc.) but there seems to be no idea or no interest... Partial tibia of what? This was found on a river gravel bar in southern Minnesota :camera:

Hello - Started a new group for Minnesota and surrounding area fossil hunters: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/groups/minnesota-fossil-finders.html

This was found Southern Oregon coast. It was very different from anything surrounding. Shiny outer skin. Smooth under loupe. No noticeable mineral. I have exhausted all of my research resources. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Tried to include photo with and without flash. Heavy for...

I am new to treasure hunting. Found this in sticky clay of natural spring on S. Oregon coast. Has shiny outer shell and a smooth grain under loupe.I have looked in all rock, mineral and fossil pics I can find. Not magnetic. Any help is appreciated.

I had a great 2020 and despite all the lockdowns I still managed a few good outings. With this being my first full year in Europe I am very happy with the quality of some of my finds. I'm still kinda stuck in the post-medieval era for the most part but a few lucky digs have been able to push...

Hello new to the forum I found this in sw Florida recently I’m not sure if it is a tusk or possibly a tooth any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is another part of the collection I found while clearing an estate. It was in Seattle,Wa. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

I found a small collection of very old bones and some fossils while clearing an estate in Seattle, Wa. Please help me identify what this bone is from. I will post some of the other items I found in another post here. I would like to find out how old it may be and what type of animal or...

I'm very new to fossil hunting and found this on my first trip. Maybe a nautiloid cephalopod? Thanks in advance!

Any help would be appreciated. Including whether or not I need better pictures. Thank you!

While out gold panning I found this weird shell like fossil? It feels like shell material. Slightly brittle on the thin edges. It was lying in the dry creek bed. Maybe someone here can identify it.

Howdy everyone! I was given a pile of what was thought to be amber. Used the salt water test and guess what!?!... nothing floated. So my question is, if its not amber,what is it? They're kinda heavy but they all have the amber color when you shine the light on them. I thought maybe glass but...

My son found this while we were looking through a creed for anything interesting. My first impression is fossilized honeycomb, but I’m new to the hobby. Any thoughts?

I found this specimen 30 Miles South east of Prescott, AZ in an area where early Neolithic Mammal fossils have been found. When hounding I picked up agate and chalcedony that was scattered all over, not thinking they were anything than normal. These two pieces I picked up seemingly fit...

I found this tooth at around 6 inches deep in the middle of the woods (pretty much rules out it being a modern toy) in Southern Luxembourg. It was next to an old creek but nothing else was found at that site other than this. The biggest animals over here are foxes and wild boar and it cant be...

I am new to the fossil world. I found this yesterday while metal detecting a Florida Treasure Coast beach. I appreciate any knowledge and/or opinions. Thank you

I found this item 8 inches deep in a metal detecting hole in a park in Luxembourg. I find tons of Devil's toenail fossils (Gryphaea) in the area which are an extinct oyster species but I've never found anything different. Like I said I'm more of a metal detecting guy and know next to nothing...
