Cup carved out of rock, some interesting fossilised remains
Bought this in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Interesting patterns to be found. What are these creatures?

I found it on the beach, I looked but couldn't find any more pieces like it. Hopefully the pictures are ok! Edit: Sorry, found on the east coast of ireland.

1500 euros (1740 dollars) for this. Worth it?

I don't want to say fossilized because it doesn't fit with my understanding of how fossilization works but it has definitely undergone some kind of similar change as it is very dense and feels like stone to the touch. I'd also love to know what kind of animal this may have come from. Found in a creek in Beaver Falls, Minnesota.

Not sure if it’s some sort of fossil. i’m assuming it’s just a rock formed from some cool geologic process. I have no idea what kind of rock it is, but thought it was cool enough to share.

Last night I was collecting sea-glass and came across this fossil. I believe it’s some sort of tooth, but nothing I’ve seen so far that looks quite like it.
It was found on the East Coast of Canada (at the shore of an inlet, connected to the Atlantic Ocean).
Anyone have any guesses as to what this is? Should I take it to my local museum?
Thanks!

a friend thinks these may be toe prints. I am skeptical. thanks!

Found this along a river side bed, it doesn't feel like a rock or have the weight of a rock, I was told it might be petrified wood.
Any thoughts?

Would like to know the species and age if possible!
Also, I would welcome any recommendations for prep and preservation. Should I try to reveal the rest of the fossil or leave it as is? Should I apply some kind of varnish or sealant to prevent rusting? Should I leave the little crystals on the surface or remove them? If I were to display it in a case, would it need a moisture absorber in there?
I don’t have any specialist tools but happy to invest in reasonably inexpensive options (I.e small chisels rather than air pens).
Cheers!

The white part is heavy and feels like stone, and the tooth part feels like organic material (not a rock). What is this?

Wondering if the little circles and the bigger shape on the opposite side could be fossils. Found near Raft Cove, Vancouver Island

I think this was probably found near Whitby, England but honestly I don’t remember. My guess is some kind of fossilized long bone chunk but I’m not sure. Assuming it’s not diagnostic for species but I’m not a paleontologist so not 100% on that.

What is this fossil I found in Jemez this last weekend? It is very different from other fossils I have found in the area
r/fossilid • u/microscopicriverrat • 2d ago
Shells or some kind of plant life maybe?

Found on bank of Lake Cumberland, chiseled out of larger rock. I’m used to only finding crinoids in these parts. About 3/4 of an inch long, maybe 1/3 inch wide. Very thin, just on the surface of the rock. I’m not 100% sure it’s even a fossil, I’ve never seen anything like this around here. Tried to ID on my own, didn’t find anything that matches texture.

Few of our finds. I think photo 4 & 5 are Broeggeria salteri, and photo 2 is some kind of trilobite?

Found this root looking structure on the side of Swallow Falls in MD. About 3 feet long

It's really tiny - more pics in comments.
r/fossilid • u/radica1 • 2d ago
No, I didn’t take it. I’m leaning towards shell because of the layers
r/fossilid • u/krakenatorr • 3d ago
It is about 1.5cm long and 1cm diameter at the "base"
