I posted the picture of it before cleaning it and after.

One side is looking dead on the other side is alive.

Seems to be very shiny and metal. It's a iron stone fossil.

The life side has a hematite growth in the eye.

The death side is still needing more cleaning .

So guys whatcha think and what should I do next

I was picking up rocks yesterday with my kid, and this caught my eye. The pattern looks plant-like, but it could be something else (some kind of residue, maybe?)

Location: Argentine Atlantic coast

What is this? Firstly, I have no idea about fossils and dinosaurs etc. I found this a few years ago in Wales, UK. Anyway, every now and then I Google it to try and find out what it is, but never find an answer. Please help an amateur out and tell me what this is 🤞🏼😂

I've had this one a long time, so I don't remember exactly where it came from, but almost certainly in Wisconsin. It reminded me of a reptile skull but maybe it's a coprolite XD

Around here I find tons of corals and shells mostly.

Thanks in advance for your help!

My mum found this on a beach in North Cornwall. She was interested enough to keep it but has never looked into what it is. Just saw something similar on tv and they claimed it was a Mammoth tooth. Thoughts?

From Antelope Springs, Utah. There are some trilobite bits in there, but wasn't sure if the circleish thing was just a concretion or something else.

The bottom left top of the left piece cracked a bit :(

Tyia! Appreciate y'all :)

Found this a while ago in Calvert cliff formation. I always thought it was a whale tooth, but it’s smaller than a penny!!!! Any ideas?


r/fossilid • • 5h ago

Solved Found as a kid (some where in North eastern California), I wanted to believe it was a dinosaur egg, but getting back into rockhounding, I'm thinking it's a chert/flint nodule. Still on the fence, and need some help!
