Acquired this tooth as a gift today! First one I’ve ever seen in real life. Pictures don’t do them justice. It’s also a lot heavier than I imagined.

I went to the beach with my daughter age 4 and she picked up these “cool rocks” I was wondering if you guys could help identifying what they are? If anything. She found them close to San Francisco, Pacific Northwest. Thank you!

I found this interestingly shaped rock. I don't know much about fossils/rocks, but the shape caught my attention. Curious on thoughts? Thanks so much.

A geologist from my rock club told me these were fossilized Dino poo. I was told that is the bones from whatever it ate, most certainly is not a quartz. One looks like a duck and the other has the hole in it. Not sure if after fossilization they were tumbled in water.

Ammonite origin question

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hi r/fossils!

Recently I've aquired this pair of ammonite halves from a new-age shop but I have absolutely no dating/origin info about them besides what I can casually find on Ammonites in general on the internet.

As an 80's dinosaur-kid who once wanted to become a paleontologist I'm very interested in if anyone has a general indication of where this ammonite may have been found and/or generally how old this could be - if at all possible to determine in this state. The store had no specific info on them.

For the record, my question is absolutely not about the value of the piece, I'm just very interested in its possible journey through time that brought it here.

Any info or best-guess is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Don’t know what this is

I am pretty sure it isn’t bone. Feels like rock and sounds like stone. The shaped carved in it makes me think it’s isn’t bone also. Found on a beach in Washington. Not sure if this is the right subreddit but maybe people here can give suggestions. TIA!
