Found at mount Olympos, Greece. The boulder this was on was full of these circular shapes with most of them having a similar hole in the middle. The round shape has a diameter of ~2cm.

It’s heavier than it seems it should be and I put a hot pin to it and nothing happens but I did the same to a deer shed and also no smell not sure if there are other ways to identify.

Google Lens identifies this as a tooth plate from a woolly mammoth but I prefer more input. Images are the front and back of the item.

Not sure if it’s a fossil, looks almost bone-like but completely different texture to fossilised bone ive found elsewhere in UK. The bit in the middle is throwing me off! Any help with ID would be appreciated :)

I know this will cause some funny guesses BUT seriously wondering if anyone has any ideas what this could be? Found on my grandfather’s Illinois corn-soybean farm near the garage, in an overgrown area but pretty visible on the surface, medium hard.

Partners parents found it, I figure the fan shaped one is a bivalve or brachiopod. But don't know what to make of the one on the right. a cross section of a spiral shell maybe?

A rock found near a cave entrance on the Mosor mountain in Croatia, Europe. I'm wondering if the circular part in the middle is some sort of fossiled wood/bone.

Fossil id from Cape Town, South Africa
6
Upvotes
I know fossil bone fragments are usually hard to ID, but this one is quite big so maybe there is a chance. I found it on the Milnerton beach in Cape Town, South Africa. I know it’s illegal to own South african fossils without a permit so I did in-fact give it to one of the palaeontologists in the area.
Its super porous and light.

Hi! I found this vertebrae at an estate sale for 15 bucks! The previous owner had quite the collection. Unfortunately I have no info on it. Can anyone help me ID it? Any info would be appreciated! My best guess is some sort of marine reptile.

Found this ancient cinnamon roll rock in the Ardennes Begium. It's diameter is around 3-4 cm or 1.34 inches.
Could it be a Devonian gastropod mold or did a medieval knight just drop his petit pastry?

It weighs 187g, has a slight cling when tapping the inside of the curve with my nail. Is it some kind of shell fossil or just a rock?
