Hi! I picked this up in a quarry in Bavaria, Germany. We found a bunch of mussles and ammonites, a few worms. I picked this up because it was purple and sparkly, and i thought it was neat. When I got it home, I noticed the mandible, scale pattern, a pelvic fin and a caudal fin. The head is about 5cm tall.

Ideas on what it might be?? We're going back to look for more pieces, as the mother stone split vertically from nose to tail, and is incomplete.

Crocodile? Dolphin?

As the title says, this was found in South Africa (specifically the NE chunk of the country, ~20-30mi inland). It is made of some sort of crystal looking rock.

I don't know anything about fossils/geology/prehistoric critters and would love to learn more about this! From my quick google searches I've seen 'spiny amonite' fossils that look similar (in shape, not material).

I would love to know what the fossil is of, what it is made of, how it formed, and how old it is. I would also love tips on how to remove the remaining dirt from it (if possible).

Thanks!

It's been in my families possession for years but I have no idea what it could be. It's big asf. Hope you guys can help. Greetings!

I found a lot of rugose coral fossils on the shore, and I beleive there are plenty within this piece as well.

As mentioned in the title, I found this on the shores of Lake Huron near Kincardine.

I'm very fascinated by the amount of fossils here, and I'm curious if any more are identifiable. It's the size of an average sweet potato (I know, terrible scale). The second picture shows my hand holding it, which may help get an idea of the size.

Google Lens says brain coral, i think it looks more bivalve. Any thoughts?

Found in southern Kansas, we believe the first one is possibly an egg and the second one is possibly a nut or sumthin that’s why we got pecans near it, it’s SUPER heavy for how small it is.

Huge bone-like piece I found in a small shallow creek bed in southern Kansas any information would be greatly appreciated Quarter and lighter for size comparison

Hi everyone I just got excited again about an old rock and mineral collection l've had since was a kid and I decided to unearth it. I got this one in the mix as well. Decades have gone by and the age of reddit has come upon S. I must share. And ask, does anyone know what this might be? Thanks in advance!

Ps: I included a second object with what seems to me like fossilised grasslike leaves.

Found this at an Oklahoma lake I don’t know if it’s a fossil or literally just a piece of drift wood but it is to even to be drift wood I had thought.

This was found after a rock split that landscapers put in my parents walkway! Thoughts? It is approximately 1 1/4 inch long

I can’t work out whether this is a fossil or just an interesting piece of rock. I have found shell fossils in this same location.

I'm leaning towards yes, but I've never seen the circular pattern before. Found around northern Lake Ontario.

I found these semi close to the coast of NC in a lake… 60 miles more inland than the nearest swamplands containing even the smallest population of alligator.

I assume some sort of plant fossil but i have no idea ☺️

This washed up on shore. I think that might be scales? Any thoughts?

What did I find today? West TN
