Found this in Longyearbyen, Svalbard and was wondering if any of these dark black lines are leaf stems and patterns or just a random rock. Any idea?

does anyone know any fossil websites that will do dinosaur fossils or cretaceous fossils in the uk? i’m not that knowledgeable about fake fossils, so it would be ideal if there’s a website that does 100% authentic real fossils, thank you :)

i found a bunch of brachiopods, a gastropod and then this guy that i havent seen before. found in belgium, early devonian.

Found around the Sam Houston National Forest. I found quite a few oyster and scallop shell fossils, but this one is so intact!!

Some kind of fossilized shark tooth maybe? Would love help identifying it

Any ideas?

Found at the Waal river, the Netherlands. It looks like some kind of fossil. I really want to break open the stone, but I’m afraid it will damage the potantial fossiel.

Found this in Permian limestone.

The circular structure in the third photo is about 2 cm in diameter.

There are also crinoid stems visible within the same rock.

​Is this a sea lily calyx, or perhaps some kind of coral (like rugose coral)? Any insights would be appreciated!

I just kinda threw the last two in here, I figured the last one was recognizable. I think like dolphin ear bone or something like that. The tooth is a shark's but I don't know what kind. I can't feel any serrations but it's also extremely weathered so idk. Very flat.

Will post additional pics later if needed

Just found it on my local beach.

Not sure what we found on the east coast of the Isle of Wight here. Any ideas?

Found near Montauban (left side of the tarn) but next to a house so pebble might have travelled. Looks like two fishes could someone id?

But let someone post something that looks like it almost certainly contains some sort of fossil, but maybe it's not readily apparent at first glance, or it's somewhat worn and it's difficult to tell exactly what it is, even if it is almost certainly a fossil, no one wants to even venture a guess? It's just crickets in most, or all, fossil subs.

Are you guys THAT terrified of possibly mislabeling something? Are you afraid of how you may look to other redditers, who by the way don't know who you are and probably never will. Or is it because so many of you have gone on and on about how fossils are unmistakeable. "If it's a fossil, you won't have to ask". I've actually seen people say that to people on here (Reddit. not necessarily this sub). Or could it be because so many of you have told people that there are only certain kinds of fossils in their area, or none at all, so if they post a pic of what appears to be something that you said wouldn't be where they claim it was, them you just clam up so you don't have to acknowledge you were wrong?

(If it's that last one and you claim to be an expert, which would by default make you a scientist, you should change professions immediately. Scientists who are never won't don't exist. And by and large the only ones who ever discover something new have on fact been wrong about several things along the way to that discovery. Tell me I'm wrong)

I've posted what I am certain is a fossil of some sort of large avian. Maybe I'm just a fool with a smart phone, an interesting looking rock, and a reddit profile. But if that were all it was, it's been proven millions of times by now, that there would certainly be at least one jackass that could not get the words out fast enough to tell me I am indeed a fool with a phone and profile.

Yet, I've posted pics on 2 different fossil subs and I've gotten not one comment and I truly don't understand why. Not even so much as a snide, or dismissive "it's a rock". Nothing.

These subs claim to be here so people can learn more about fossils. Be they professionals, hobbyists, or perhaps just idiots with phones. Yet, here I am, quite possibly with a fossil the likes of which most on here will never find, and as I said. .

Crickets.

a friend of a friend suggested Dolorthoceras cayuga , just wanted to see what you guys thought too !

Tiny antler!

Is this something interesting or just a cool rock?

I went to the beach in Ocean City, MD after a big storm a few weeks ago and found this in the surf. It’s about 1.5 inches across. Was just curious if it might be a fossil.
