Island of Møn, Denmark

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?

Tyrannosaur tooth with a split carina

Recently picked up this 2.07-inch tyrannosaur tooth from FossilEra, and it’s already become one of my favorite fossils in my collection!
It’s from the Judith River Formation in Montana and is around 75 million years old. What makes it so interesting is its split carina, where one of the serrated edges branches into a Y-shape. Apparently, this is a rare abnormality and the exact cause is unknown but speculated. Thought you all might appreciate this one!

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!

Got this one for $30, which I think is an absolute steal! I've never seen one with such deep, etched suture lines on the outside. Might not be to everyone's taste, but I really like the look.

Recently acquired this as a gift. Any idea if it's real and if so, what is it? Ammonite?

My children found this in our back garden and was wondering what it is. Chippenham, Wiltshire. Weighs 19g. Not magnetic, solid and very hard. Doesn't really scratch and can't break with hands

Any guesses to what this is? Is it just a big rock or a fossil?

The creek bed by my house was torn up because the creek was redirected. Anyway, I went down to explore and saw what appears to be a flying saucer, looks suspicious, wondering what you guys think.
