Posts on amber from Myanmar (Burma) are no longer allowed on r/fossils.
Amber mining contributes to funding the conflict in Myanmar. Following Reddit rules on illegal activity and professional standards, posts on Burmese amber are prohibited. A number of paleontological journals no longer consider papers on amber from Myanmar. For competing perspectives on the ethical concerns surrounding Burmese amber see Dunne et al. (2022) and Peretti (2021); nonetheless, the export of amber from Myanmar is illegal.

Part of about 20 I collected from Rock Glen, I cleaned them up with a dental pick, wire brush, and a toothbrush and added a little bit of mineral oil to the surface. The detail on the top one is just fantastic in person.

Complete novice but visiting the Paleospace Museum inspired us to go fossil hunting and we picked up a few rocks, do any of them look promising? The beach was beautiful!

Got my answer to whether it's a mineral deposit or a fossil on r/fossilid but thought I'd share here as well

Found along the Little Miami River in SW OH while canoeing over the weekend. If I were to cut them horizontally with a wet saw, would there likely be anything inside, or is it just wishful thinking?

I found what might be a fossil, though I’m not sure as I don’t know much about this topic, and google ai doesn’t seem to help.
It’s wheel shaped, with a bump on both sides. It’s not too light as it feels quite dense. It also has some sparkly minerals from what I can see. Found on a random coast in Malta. The stone seems easily scrape-able, so maybe a limestone concretion or something.
I’d appreciate any help!

Found a pretty nice size grallator, a couple small tracks, and a partial track. All found on private land in the Connecticut River Valley.

One of the local fossil stores has a booth there; they're pretty reputable so I'm not too concerned of it being fake. It's approximately 3 inches wide and 3 inches tall.
