Moroccan orthoconic nautiloids and goniatites. Nice

That is marvelous!

Wow. There used to be living stick baits. That's wild.

Stunning

Fabulous. What are the long spikes?

orthocone nautiloids

Woah

So you're saying dad stole a lot of s*** from the University

Holy crap That’s really cool 10/10 fossil

My two favorites: Meg tooth my folks got me for my birthday and a sweet carcharodontosaurus tooth. https://preview.redd.it/7oq60hztxgsc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8889502c0a948a26575c3096c930ae6046c0795f

Seven *Triarthrus eatoni*, an undescribed sanctacarid raptoral appendage, and a graptolite from Beecher's Bed. All have preserved soft tissue. \~450mya https://preview.redd.it/4rd7g33ldhsc1.jpeg?width=3796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=982af17203f65e80c5a8fa8cdb8fee11244494d2

That’s fuckin insane

Thanks :)

What a gorgeous specimen!

how bad it smells .?

What?

lovely! beecher's bed fossils always bring me a great joy whenever i watch them, hope i get to have pyrite fossils someday

It's a lot more joyous when you find them yourself :)

This is my favourite one

Thanks :)

Amazing!!!!🤩🤩🤩the detail!!

It's like trying to get me to pick a favorite child. But I really like this one currently https://preview.redd.it/xewkn00n5hsc1.jpeg?width=1884&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bec0bb44da427e8b60c108373f1dff7356eb1505

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one this color. I love it

Doesn't the light color mean it's not a fossil?

No it just means it was preserved. They are black from sediment and light I believe

Thanks! I've got a few for sale if you're interested. Hit me up

Very small collection, but I love this huge stromatolite.

It’s amazing!

I nearly had a prehistoric sea turtle skull fully intact attached to a rock but alas do not own it (yet😏)

hell i don’t even know entirely what it consists of but this lil chunk of shells with crystallization found in my backyard while taking out trees has to be it. (found in Chattanooga TN) https://preview.redd.it/mabbknzqyjsc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b46d236d10de150c75bff96903146f43083d741

Because I live in Florida, I often find decent fossils by just rummaging through limestone infill. https://preview.redd.it/0a2uatsfgjsc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d7939c611cca24973ba8c47b7189d8eaf12d4f8 I’ve found things like fossil coral, stienkerns, barnacle fossils, phosphorescent calcite, and imprints. Stuff is super common to find, but it’s always a treat finding one of these.

Stunning!!!

I do, my favorite is the sea fan I found

I got one of those! https://preview.redd.it/jlze39u1xisc1.jpeg?width=3120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10b8bae42d7801ab4e59786e6c8b5788390ec254

I've found some interesting mineralization on horn corals near the Cave in Rock fluorite district. The horn corals are stuck within the limestone host rock. So, you can get mineralization within the fossils themselves, if they were within proximity to hicks dome, the intrusive body in the area. I have found sphalerite crystals attached to a single horn coral as well as fluorite replaced horn coral.

A plesiosaur vertebra or my mesohippus jaw section

Y'all seem to have crazy stuff. I am just a beginner. So for me, it's my fully intact glossopteris leaf, dicroidium seed fern, rock with 2 brachiopod species and a crinoid, a mollusc and a bryozoan and two bivalves. Also a Mosasaur tooth, a full head-to-tail Trilobite (oh my happiness) and a G. Goodhalli ammonite from North-West Queensland are my favourites.

Bro you call that average? The only fossil I found myself was a coral fan

You mean bryozoan. This here? https://preview.redd.it/cfcvmm32blsc1.jpeg?width=3120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fbb158e2ad0809372d029b168aeb8eef00ce876

Yeah my bad, I get them mixed up

That's alright! You will learn with experience, dude.

I guess it was an underestimation.

Not all fossils, but it's a small collection, so I put it all in there

https://preview.redd.it/0zjygqzc7ksc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4298a190b31660e1aac1acdf00ab60cf92ddc580

Enchodus jaw plate with most of a fang, a mosasaur vertebrae mostly intact, and a mosasaur jaw fragment with a slight partial tooth. I found all these myself along the north sulphur river in TX.

But what is it?

Definitely a bivalve of sorts, but can't pin it down to an exact species.

https://preview.redd.it/wvziohevxksc1.jpeg?width=6936&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=015803504c4341e3f7c34b935f660c48d932715e My most recent favorite is this blushing cutie Cyphaspides ammari from the Hmar Laghdad region!

Oh my gosh! That is so lovely!

Wow. Thats absolutely amazing

I don't, and I'm so jealous of whoever has one. I'd love to have one! I collected rocks when I was young, but it's nowhere near as cool :) My granny had an old empty turtle shell from the 40s or 50s I think, where part of the spine was still visible. When she passed my sister sent it to me cos she knew I'd love to have it and I gave it to somebody as a token of friendship since they had a cool fossil collection, and I thought it would fit perfectly in their cabinet. I wonder if they still have it or if they threw it out 😔

a pleistocene horse toe.. Nc beach

Not sure, I’m not that good at tooth id

Carcharodontosaurus tooth

https://preview.redd.it/cox278k85lsc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d8938df7cf6e43982aaff3737db3bd59e2c6e28

Ooooh, are those tyrannosaurid teeth?

They are albertosaurus teeth tips. Each are no longer than 1 inch or 2.5 cm

Nothing crazy,, but I found this randomly on the beach hoping to find a sharks tooth. Heh. So it's rad to me. Edit: I'm bad at reddit so pics are in comments. *shrug* I wasn't allowed to put in the main comment.

Yes I have a collection. My favorite is a tip of the bill from a hadrosaur. A family friend has a ranch out in the badlands and found these regularly

Mm fish tacos

I feel like that fossil may be why there is no real life water bending

I have 5. One is a fish similar to the one pictured but it’s just one fish, I have a trilobite, I have two ammonites, and a sphere with multiple fossils in it. My favorite is either the ammonite or the sphere.

Wow

That looks like a koi pond

Why did i think that was a tortilla

I thought was tortilla... 😐😐😅

Nice piece. I wouldn't know how to find them. Don't have much in these small communities

[удалено]

Just some little shellfish from the creekbed behind my childhood home. Favorite is the ammonite earrings I bought at a Pride festival.

**A bunch of Crinoid pieces and some other stuff that I do not know names of. Devonian era. Found in Iowa.

Noice👍

I'd have to go with my wife being my favorite fossil.
