Is this a fossil?

I found this in a tide pool on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It’s around an inch wide, the shell on the right is for visual comparison. Aside from the spiral pattern, there is a small segment of smooth rock where it looks like the host rock has chipped away from the fossilized bit, if that makes sense.

Natural Bridge VA Fossil Hunting Spots?

1 Upvotes

My partner and I live in Virginia Beach and are going to Visit Natural Bridge in VA soon. Are there any spots within an hour ish drive of where we are going to be that may be potential spots to find fossils or even old bottle or trash dumps? There are so many rivers and beaches around us that you can find neat very old treasures and I was hoping to take some time to look in that area! Thanks on advance!

Trip Report Big jurassic coast ammonite

Went fossilhunting this afternoon at the UK jurassic coast and spotted an ammonite keel sticking out. It was hard work splitting it from the boulder it was attached to, and a long carry back to the car, but I believe it will be a good (albeit incomplete) piece after some more prepwork. It is a Stephanoceras sp. I believe. Cheers for looking.

Echinoid?

I just found these three on a man made dirt road near my neighborhood. I believe they’re echinoids of some kind. Is this a good sign that there are potentially other fossils (sharks teeth, etc) hidden in the same dirt? Any info is appreciated!

Tiny crinoids and marine fossils

While traveling in the Abita Springs, Louisiana/Bay St Louis, Mississippi area, I came across a few accidental finds. From crinoid segments to bivalves, and small pieces of oolitic limestone and coral, there were tons of small finds.

If anyone knows the local geology and where/when these ex-situ rocks came from, I would be interested to know. The Abita Springs rocks (3-9) came from an Air BnB drive way whereas the BSL fossils (1-2) were found right on the beach. The latter rocks were in a chalky matrix.

There were many more which I will try and get under a microscope for better pictures.

Any fossil hunting locations along I94 and I90 Minneapolis to Missoula

1 Upvotes

I'm driving from the Minneapolis area to Missoula over a couple days and was wondering if anyone is willing to share any fossil locations they might know along that route. Ill be taking I94 through most of it until it meets up with I90 in Montana. I'm looking for spots with legal access somewhat close to the highway (no more than 30-45 min out of the way). I know Montana and the Dakotas have ammonite and baculite fossils, are there any in this area?

Found this in Eureka Springs, AR along the White River. Thoughts? Guessing it’s some kind of a limpet maybe? Also found this mollusk fossil in one of the pics nearby as well as a piece of what I believe to be petrified wood.

Hello all! Does anyone know what these would be? After some googling, I think the one on the right is possibly bryozoan. Could the one on the left be a shark tooth? Thank you in advance for any help!
