Huge ammonite!

This is a 19 1/2 inch 70 pound Eopachydiscus that I collected and prepped last spring. It came from the Duck Creek formation.

Cretaceous Shrimp Fossil

I went to the flea market in Milton/Hurricane (West Virginia) recently, and went the the Fossil shop that is there. There is one of the booths that's set up, (they have Fossils, Jewelry, Gems, Rocks, and artifacts like Arrowheads too). I spotted this wonderful specimen for a very nice (and cheap) price. It's exceptionally well preserved too! Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!

Pop out trilobite!

I found this along time ago in the Marjum formation in the Utah house range. It is early Cambrian and was found along with many Barhyuriscus fimbriatas. The pic on the right was what I saw on the ground. Thought it looked roughly trilobite shape and picked it up. Lifted off the pop off cap and was very happy. Not sure as to species I posted some in FossilID yesterday and got lots of views and only one suggestion as to species.

My favorite three ancient shark species displayed together.

All three of these fossil shark teeth Megalodon, Great White, Mako (Otodus megalodon, Carcharodon hastalis, Isurus hastalis ) along with the whale vertebra they were found on once swam around the ancient oceans. I found all three of them in fairly close proximity and now they are reunited on this fossil whale vertebra.

Information / Valuation

Hello, I am a complete noob at anything to do with fossils or marine life.

From what I’ve gathered it’s a sawfish bill, 23 inches, can anyone give me a valuation on it or any information?

I am aware that they are endangered so maybe getting them to the right person would also be helpful.

Thank you in advanced!

Found near Waco Tx. Need ID

I found this in a deep creek bed in the creek wall. There are thousands of them packed into a single area falling out into the creek bed. Some chunks are the size of a basketball.

Paid for crushed concrete for a driveway and the company dropped off fossils.

I called and asked, they said “crushed concrete” included material inadequate for mix. No complaints except it’s brown and looks funny. Kids like picking in it.
