Cool fossils you found.

[Brocc21]

Anyone have any cools fossils that they've found to show off. I might show off some of mine later.

I found a few annomites on the beach as a child and when I got a Chinese slate floor a few years ago there was a beautifully preserved fern leaf on one tile.

A fossil that I have personally found recently is that of Palaeophycus sp. ( Palaeophycus tubularis?) known from the East Berlin Formation (Early Jurassic) in Connecticut, USA. Palaeophycus is an ichnogenus of worm-like animal lined burrows, filled with sediments essentially identical to surrounding environment.

(Glad I just found this topic, or else I'd've had to start my own)

Last week, for the first 4 days of it, I was on holiday in the Scottish Highlands (it's currently spring break for school). Amongst other things (such as seeing a white-tailed eagle, the largest bird of prey in the UK), I went to a fossil beach on the north-eastern part of Skye. While the beach was underwhelming compared to the little I've been to on the Jurassic Coast, I did get a few finds out of it:


Ammonite:




What I assume are belemnites:

[Halichoeres]

Hey, cool! What are the dimensions, roughly?

When I lived in New York I found a lot of Devonian fossils; gastropods, crinoids, the occasional trilobite. I live in Maryland now where most of the fossils are from the Miocene. So far this is the only one I've found but it's pretty cool, a blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) which are of course still around.





Blue crab undersides for reference, mine's a boy!

Hey, cool! What are the dimensions, roughly?

@Halichoeres Ammonite is ~1cm in diameter, and both belemnites are ~2cm long and ~0.3cm wide at their widest.
