r/fossils

Found this near Craig, CO. Any idea what animal it came from?

I think it is fossilised wood, what do you think? It is from the cape enrage in the Canada new Brunswick

Anyone know what this is or if its even real? Was only $20 from a guy I buy taxidermy and stuff from. Even if fake I still think its cool. Its heavy for its size.

A friend gave this to me a while back. No clue what it is. The teeth don't look like they match to me, kinda look like those mosasaur teeth you get at natural history museums (I'm not a fossil person though). I broke a piece on accident and the inside of the bone looking stuff is porous.

Edit: ignore the gold stuff, I've been using it as a keychain holder lmao

I feel like I see so many people posting about fossils they find in Lake Michigan on here, so I had to take my chance while I’ve been in Chicago this summer. The fossils are all crinoids and horn corals (maybe a snail in pic 13, but that one I’m not even sure is a fossil), and mostly small or broken up but I thought they were super cool. Also my labubu for scale in picture two, her name is Ketchup.

I saw this in the water while swimming in the sea. I thought that it might lbe a vertebra, but gemini says it might be a tooth or a joint of a mammal. Any ideas on what this belonged to?

I’m pretty excited having finally getting to live my childhood palaeontology dreams of finding fossils. Definitely a few that are just neat rocks lol

Found this rock at the beach but don't know if these are fossilized bones or what.

I found this down Lee-on-Solent beach (UK), which is known for its Eocene fossils, I can’t seem to figure out what it is exactly. I frequently acquire my fair share of shark teeth, ray plates, bivalves and gastropods, however this one caught me off guard. I’ve tried searching it up to find visual matches but to no avail. If anybody has any idea of what it is please let me know?!

Found these today on the shores of Georgian Bay, I think they are Trilobites but none seem to have the head(?) part - also, photo 4, I am not sure what it is at all - seems like many pieces of shell possible?

I think this is a megalodon tooth. I’ve had it for many years I don’t recall from where. Does it appear real? Any info helps greatly.

I found this small collection of fossils being given away on my street and, as I work in a school, I would like to show my students them. Please can anyone help me identify the items? Also, any cool facts about them would be a bonus!! I also included some closeups of a few of the items.

There was some text included with the collection too (written in French). As far as I can tell, it reads:

“oursins millenaires”

“Les 3 fossils [illegible] sont des ORTHOCERAS
+ 1 [illegible] Bivalve
+ 1 oursin de mer [illegible] probablement du TETRACE ou TRETACE à voir dans les [illegible]”

“Orthocéras
Dévonien (350 Millions d’années)
Erfoud - MAROC”

Thanks for any info you can offer!

She pulled it out of the sand after searching for two minutes. I had been looking for 6 hours. lol.

Didn't realize when pulling that one up that there was one right underneath it. Two different dinosaurs, two slices of time, same rock.

Found in Massachusetts near Holyoke
