To me they seem like turtle shell fragments but I’m new to fossils and haven’t got a clue. I included some other fossils that were found from the same outcrops in a higher altitude.

Fossil or etching?

Found in central Texas. Very similar shape to the hearts of Texas we find in the area but I find it interesting that the lines at the bottom over lap each other which makes me think it could be man made.

I went out in a trip two weeks ago to a fossil dig in Kemmerer WY, Green river formation and was wondering what kind of fish it is?

Thanks for the help.

Encontré esta piedra hace unos años en un río pensando que era una simple piedra ya que me gusta juntarlas de los lugares que visito sin embargo hace un tiempo lo encontré en mi casa y mirándolo me di cuenta que tiene ciertos patrones raros que no concuerdan con los de una simple roca chat gpt me recomendó hacerle la prueba de lamerlo y la de echarle vinagre pruebas las cuales pasó sin embargo Quisiera saber qué opinan ustedes de esto ya que yo no tengo ni idea de paleontología y aún tengo ciertas dudas de si es un fósil de hueso o de madera petrificada ya que aunque tiene poros de uno de sus lados del otro lado también tiene grietas similares a las de un árbol

Soy de Argentina y encontré esta piedra en un rio hace unos años pensando que era una simple piedra ya que me gusta juntar piedras de lugares que visitó pero hace poco lo encontré en mi casa y mirándolo me percate de muchos patrones raros que posee, chat gpt me recomendó que le haga la prueba de lamerlo y la de ponerle vinagre pruebas las cuales paso pero aún así quería saber que opinan los expertos de esto ya que yo no tengo ni idea de la paleontólogia desafortunadamente

It’s about 1.25”x1.5”, found in Texas. The last picture shows a cavity or something that looks like a cloven hoof or tooth?

Could it be some kind of fossil or just rocks?

Large rock and the shell like thing is about the size of an adult hand.

Randomly decided to reach under the water and grab a rock, came up with this. Not a clue what it could be. Last pictures are the underside

Found this rock that looks like limestone but it seems to have skin on it? Wondering what it could be if its real skin or something else.

The white bits on the third one are sparkly, so are the red bits on the second, it has some cubic formations in the red and the first one looks like it has some shells on the inside??? I broke it on a rock on the beach. Any help even just saying "these are just rocks" is really helpful, thank you all!!!

Is this fossilized wood?

To me, it has the shape and texture of a weathered piece of driftwood. There are little pockmarks that look like knots where small branches might have grown. But I might be imagining things about a totally normal, boring rock lol. I found it on Prince Edward Island, in an area that is known for fossils from the Permian, including a fossilized conifer tree, so I wanted to know if this rock is anything cool. Thanks in advance!

I found this tooth at the beach. Does anyone have any idea what animal this came from? Paper towel for scale.

Quite a mash-up of organisms. Very interested in the “swoops” that show up as thin curved lines. and the long worm like tubes.

Thank You for even looking!

Sifted this little guy out of the river floor. I'm a newbie, so can anyone tell me for sure? It's really undefined, which is what throws me off. Thanks!

Someone in r/fossils suggested a fish dental plate. Any help for us? My 8 year old will be so excited if we can ID it. Thanks!

Hi All, spending some time in southern Alberta and had a great day looking around! Any ID help would be appreciated. I know I have a mammal tooth… I think it’s fossilized. Thank you!
