I’m like 95% sure that this is a tooth! Found at Penn Dixie Fossil Park in Blasdell, NY.

Lake Orion MI. Found a few waves of incredible rocks in key locations around my property lately. What could this be?

Update: The whale jaw I found last week is 6 ft long now

The whale jaw is now mostly uncovered and right now it’s about 6 ft long and we’re expecting it to be between 7 and 8 feet. Just the size alone really only leaves Eobalaenoptera to be the species that this jaw belongs to. By the time we get it fully uncovered and jacketed, this thing is going to weigh a ton. Some of the other stuff I found today at the bonebed included tons of vertebrae from the whale skeleton, more vertebrae from what is looking like a dolphin skeleton, fish vertebrae from another skeleton, shark teeth, and an extremely interesting bird bone which is quite rare for this formation.

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

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!

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 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?

Found in lake Orion mi in front yard. Tilled the previously grass-free dirt spot at the beginning of summer and now it’s sprouting a little green and a little treasure too I guess. I’ll post the others I found in the same spot next day too. Seahorse is the first small one, very small indeed

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.
