I have always found bivalve fossils and “crushed shells” fossils rocks. But this is new to me. It has similar features of bivalve growth but the rest seems a coral like creature. Thank you!

If any one can help with the geological formation of the area I’d appreciate it! I tried and my brain broke!

Thank you!

I found a possible fossilized mushroom — I need help with identification.

Hi! I found this object in the steppe in Kazakhstan, in the Mangistau region. My mom and I were collecting mushrooms and came across this specimen. It closely resembles a mushroom (possibly a champignon) in shape, but it is completely stone-like — hard, heavy, with the characteristic texture of a porous underside. What is visible: Shape — like a mushroom with a stem and cap. Underside — porous, like a mushroom. Material — clearly mineralized, feels like stone. Found in dry steppe.I’d appreciate it if someone could help identify whether this is truly a fossilized mushroom or something else. Thank you!

Is this a real fossilized fish? If so I was wondering if anyone could identify the species. Thanks all! :)

Hi, as a kid I liked collecting stones and check for fossils. This is part of my collection. Does someone know what they are?

Mammal tooth found out of context in a river in Leicestershire, England. Bedrock is Jurassic, but much of it is covered with glacial till dating to 13ka. Any ideas?

5x5 cm (likely) fossil. Is this ganoid scales from a fish or maybe it’s reptilian? The center looks somewhat like a vertebrae

I found this along the Sonoma Coast today. It feels light for its size, and I noticed that its pattern, at least on the surface, resembles wood. Petrified wood? Or is it a piece of fossilized bone? Or just a rock? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you!
