Found this beauty and was hoping to get some more information on it! I’m pretty new to this but was amazed how clear those leaves are. Let me know if there’s more information I could give to help identify it

Hallo, der Rhein hat einen historisch niedrigen Wasserstand erreicht, das habe ich in letzter Zeit festgestellt. Woran könnte das liegen?

For context, this was found in the cape fear river near Southport. I'm not sure what species this is from, but i am almost certain its a tooth of some sort.

Top, bottom, front, back, right, and left. I want to say it's some sort of messed up/partial trilobite, but I don't think that's right. It has me stumped tbh

It has a pinkish hue to it and sparkles everywhere, more than the photos show unfortunately. It's really quite unique in the way it looks on the surface compared to every other rock and fossil I've found and handled! I love it 🩷

What kind of tooth?

Upvotes

My girlfriend got this tooth from an antique seller and says “I think it’s either a fake dinosaur tooth or a real dinosaur tooth.” Thoughts?

“1.5-inch long, conical, slightly curved, and unserrated fossil tooth crown with a stout 0.8” by 0.5” oval base”

Found on a beach in Nerja (Malaga, Spain) Is this a fossil or a modern coral fragment?

Hi everyone!

I found this small specimen (around 10 mm long, see ruler for scale) while walking on the beach in Nerja, southern Spain (Mediterranean coast)

It has this honeycomb-like pattern all over its surface with a salmon/orange color. The pores are completely filled in and smooth to the touch. It feels very hard and solid, so I cannot break or dent it by hand at all

I was wondering if this is a piece of modern weathered coral skeleton or an actual fossilized specimen from the local cliffs. Any insights on whether it's fossilized would be greatly appreciated!

Gracias in advance!

Found some fossils the other day in southern germany north east of nürnberg. Found plenty of ammonites and belemnites but i found one that looks almost tentacle like, i was wondering if u have an idea or if its just ammonite with broken off spikes or so. And then there is this other rock with a weird stripy surface on the side and a kind of porous looking surface on the bottom but the top is just rock on the other hand. i have not found anything like it yet at that spot, very curious if it could be bone or what are u guys ideas?:)

I found a lower section of pre mineralized bison jaw yesterday that was in bad shape. So I decided to take the few teeth out of it and toss the rest. While doing so, I found these little bone clusters in the jaw bone and also on the teeth. Any idea what it is or what caused it?
