Back at a certain shop in the Carolinas about two years ago I bought this tooth for around $150. Thought it looked great with minimal chipping. When I returned to the same shop a few months ago to check in on them and was looking at some other meg teeth they had the owner from before asks me a question.

He said "How much do you think that goes for" and I said $150-$200 (keep in mind it's smaller than the one I bought before) he and his wife laugh in my face and he says "try adding three zeroes to that" his wife gives him a funny look and says "no that one would be closer to 10K".

Naturally that's ludicrous but they stated it like it was a known fact that everyone knows. I showed them photos of this one that they sold me before and the price range that it was. They didn't say anything. Super odd.

I cracked it open to make sure it’s real

We found these when we were living in Texas, in the northeast corner of Collin County, about 1 mi from Grayson. The last two are the same specimen from different angles.

Thanks!

I believe the top and bottom one contain “trace fossils” from trilobite burrows. Curious to know what else you might be able to see and identify!

Thanks!

I found this in a landslide of a local old sand pit.

I'm from Europe and live in an area where we have a lot of stones that came from Scandinavian glacier movements.

Also mind the texture of the base plate it looks like organic pattern to me.

My grandma found it outside

Found a bunch of smaller rocks with what looked like a ton of fragments of shells embedded in them. These two were sticking out the top of a giant boulder (cap for boulder scale in third pic)

Found in Ocean City, MD after most recent nor’easter. Weighs about 4 lbs, about 8.5-9 inches by 7.5-8 inches. Any tips on what this is or what it might have belonged to are much appreciated!

Hi! I’ve had this fossil for maybe 15 years now, I found it on the shores of a teeny tiny remote island off the coasts of Tasmania, my uncle took us over on his small boat and amongst all the shale I found this little dude. My assumption has always been that it’s potentially an ammonite? But I’ve recently been challenged that it may be fossilised poop haha. Was hoping someone with a better understanding could confirm for me :)

Last weekend, I was walking along the coast between Steart Marshes and Hinkley Point in Somerset when I spotted this unusual pebble on Steart Beach.

On one side, there appear to be faint markings resembling an ammonite or similar fossil.

When I turned it over, I noticed what, to my untrained eye, look remarkably like teeth - possibly a molar and two canines. They almost look drawn on, but they’re part of the stone’s natural markings.

I’m certainly no expert, so I’m curious what others think. My two theories are:

A. They’re simply natural patterns that happen to resemble teeth.

B. Could they be fossilised teeth from a creature that had an ammonite in its mouth?

I’m leaning towards A being more likely, but I’d love to hear from anyone with more knowledge!

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for marine reptiles or other interesting living things

Look at this flint stone that looks like a femur! Can anyone give me more information about this? I found it near Orléans, in Sandillon, France, on a railway track. It has a hollow cavity running perfectly through it. It's about 6 cm long and 2.5 cm thick. The hole in the middle is 0.6 cm in diameter.

Estaba en la terraza de un restaurante en Bretaña, Francia, cuando me fijé en el suelo, que era de grava, y encontré este pequeño fósil en una de las piedras. ¿Alguien podría decirme qué podría ser o qué antigüedad tiene? ¿Es algún tipo de esponja? El suelo donde lo encontré es ornamental, así que no proviene de allí, probablemente de alguna cantera de sílex cerca de la Bretaña francesa.

I know I have some coral pieces on the towel, but the one that looks like an ironing board has me curious especially and the ones that look like buttholes? Kentucky for reference, near rock-castle county

Stylemys Turtle Fossil. I just love the underside of this shell. I almost want to display it vertical so I can see that side more.

Happy to share always gorgeous fossils such thoses beauties that I used to digging many years ago . After a year I can be back with some beautiful fossils.
Also I put some of them as they are sliced and polished . This show how the structure outside /inside just amazing it show also that thoses are agatized fossils . Looking forward to seeing your comments and maybe your questions .
Have a great day

On a recent trip to Scandinavia we stopped by on the Island of Møn in southern Denmark for a few days. It was during the summer season, but I was positively surprised to find a bunch of fossils on the beaches we visited. There are Maastrichian chalk cliffs exposed that lifted due to glacial push during the last ice age. The glaciers also brought a lot of errtics from Sweden that include interesting palaeozoic invertebrates. There is a chalk quarry not too far away that you can visit, but the propect of erratics makes the beaches somewhat appealing to me, and the block with multiple well preserved cephalopods must be the best find. What would you prefer, beach or quarry?

Hello, I was going through childhood box and found this. I think it’s fake but as I’m not an expert, can anyone confirm? Some pics attached

I think I bought it in bolca, a fossil excavation area in north of Italy so probably this was like some sort of souvenir, but I can’t quite remember as I was 7.

Thanks in advance!

It reacts to UV light, but my camera can't register it
