Self bump
Nobody fossils?
Can anyone ID this fish? It's an heirloom.

I fossil fish for a living during the summer, but all of my stuff is in storage. All I have here are some coral fossils from Lake Michigan and a leaf fossil with a funny story behind it but isn't impressive, the leaf is like 2mm long.

I can tell you it isn't from where I dig up mine, that's all.
I met my father's brother's wife's mother's partner over the summer, and he was an incredibly interesting man who has an amazing collection of fossils, and he showed me how to look for them. We only found a few bivalves and a bit of coral on the beach near where he lives, but it's a start. He once found a plesiosaur skeleton, and a dinosaur egg, but they're in museums now. He's got both halves of an ammonite fossil two feet across in his house though, and he casually uses them as doorstops for his conservatory.

Baleen whale jaw bone. Found near Myrtle Beach, SC at a depth of 30' eight miles inland.

It's like from the green river formation in Wyoming. Not sure on type of fish, paleontology is for fags

Tfw Im Finnish and we really cant find fossils because of ice age
>>615911
Give it time.
I have this and more like this, it is agatized dinosaur bone. I also have some petrified wood with opal in it and some agatized coral.
>>611488
Fossilized plant perhaps?
>>611517
Rainbow trout...aka the world's most popular and widespread game fish. Bass ain't got nothin' on bows.
>>611505
Some magnolia species, maybe?
>>615923
>petrified wood with opal
Goddamn, post pic please
>>616137
Please excuse the potato picture.
>>611488
looks the fosilized needles of a dawn redwood or coast redwood
>>611517
Hmm, I see gills, so it definitely didn't live on land.
>>611488
vagisaurus rex?
>>618856
anyone help to id this fossil?
>>620011
Isn't it just shale?
>>621545
it was found at the devonian fossil gorge in iowa.
I have a small collection I personally collected from the field but don't feel like posting. It's all marine stuff.
just two leaves and a snail
If y'all send your pictures to any professor of paleontology at a university they will usually ID it for free.
Protip: Usually it's crap, or nothing. People tend to over-hype their finds.
>>611488
Definitely some type of plant, possibly a fern or conifer.
>>611517
Hard to tell, but I have one just like it. These fossils are pretty common. You can tell what type of fish it is based on the number and location of fins, as well as the jaw structure.
>>611947
These are incredibly common anywhere there's limestone. Limestone is created by ocean litter that falls to the bottom and solidifies into rock, naturally it's usually filled with various types of mollusks.
>>615380
If it hasn't fossilized into stone yet (is still fresh-looking bone, though clean) it probably isn't that old.
>>615923
How do you know that's dinosaur bone, have you had it independently verified by an expert?
>>618856
Looks like a mollusk to me, or some ocean-dwelling bottom-feeder.
Rocks>Fossils
>>611517
Doesn't look like a Green River fish (the are on platey ash rock, not in a concretion as this one appears to be) but it definitely looks Cretaceous or later if that helps
>>611488
Found a new species of this (Pentaceratops) a few years back. No pictures because it has yet to be named/completely prepped.
Freshman geology major here. My goal is to be a paleontologist.

>>622218

>>622162
