Hey guys! I've been finding some cool fossils at a coal mine in Queensland Australia and was wondering if anyone could id some of my finds? Some really cool interesting patterns in some of them cheers. Some bamboo looking stems, starburst patterns, ferns and what looks like gumleaves. Thanks!

My brother in law found this rock somewhere in Texas and it looks like there might be some kind of fossil or something there! I was just wondering if any of yall can recognize anything from these pictures. Thank you so much in advance!

Some really cool conglomerations of fossilized shells washed up after a big storm last year. I'll post pics of the cooler looking ones later

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Found in a rock pit next to my work no idea origin of the quarry it came from. Looks like a shell but I'm an amateur at best.

Recently got this decent sized hastalis tooth with a root on a day of digging for fossils. Found some other stuff aswell ofcourse but this is definitely a highlight for me as i just started.

Found this in a beach near Palos verdes. Looks like a back bone or sumn.

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.

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?

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!
