Hi. I Found this mineral inside of a concretion. The minerals that I typically find inside the concretions local to my area are calcite and Aragonite. This is the only one I have ever opened that looks like this. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Location: Orange County, California
I found what looks to be a petrified and agatized human heart. The anatomy is all correct and it’s the size of my fist like a human heart should be. I thought I was digging up petrified wood but it turned out to be a ton of fossils. I think this heart looking one is the most significant though.
Just purchased a couple petrified/fossil jaw bones and one very ominous (leg?) bone from an older lady who inherited these from her grandfather when he died. She also had a gigantic leg bone taller than her but sadly would not part ways with it. Trying to identify what animals these belonged to...
Hello wonderful fossil-people! I usually hang out in the Native American Artifacts forum but today I'd show up here instead.
If you and you're gang enjoy solving a groovy mystery, I have a post for you! This rock was found in an area of Northern Arizona that is very well know for producing lots...
Hi, I'm Marcus. I like the bones of American megafauna.
I hunt/collect rock and bone on river and creek gravel deposits on foot and by kayak. I live in Southern Minnesota. :skullflag:
Come join this Minnesota fossil group if you are interested...
Did a quick 30 minute stop to a road cut off off route 146. No tools, just what had naturally eroded. Would be well worth spending more time but I got what I could carry and kept driving.

I am new to the fossil world. I found this yesterday while metal detecting a Florida Treasure Coast beach. I appreciate any knowledge and/or opinions. Thank you
These were found in Coastal North Carolina.
They are shaped like teeth, but dark brown in appearance.
Are they rocks? Are they teeth? If so, what type of animal? Time period?
Any ideas?
I apologize for the wonky orientation of the pictures.
Thanks for your input.
I've always loved rocks and now I think I have actually found some cool ones that may be of interest. found either on my family's property or in my driveway here at home from a load of river pebbles.
I got that Geo bug bad. They seem to be calling me. Hunted 1 1/2 hours Along a creek bank. 11 Indian Beads, 5 fossils, 107 geodes, and 30 pieces of geodes.
I'm back out hunting at the first spot. I found a piece of rock that has a darker center. And it's got fossils in it. I am almost positive that it looks like a tooth or a claw in this rock. Then there is another one with just the tip showing.
My first find was amazing. I don't have that many miles put into this find. Ive been hunting for approximately 3-4 months. I happen to have a honey hole within walking distance of my house. I have named that place the Honey hole. This is a once in a lifetime find.
Hello I'm new to the whole thread thing but excited to show some treasures of mine that ive found and to talk with others about theirs.

Hey everyone!
I mentioned sharing some videos in my introduction post, so here's the first I'm sharing with y'all!
My girlfriend Ashley and I went a couple days ago to some Pleistocene aged (1.8 million to 10,000 years ago) sites for mammal and reptile fossils. We found some older Eocene aged...
Hey everyone!
I just joined Treasurenet, and figured as a first post I would show you guys some of what I find, and enjoy hunting for. Fossils are my main thing, but I am into finding any sort of treasure! I also put videos together of my hunts and will definitely be sharing some with y'all...
Hi Everyone!
This is my first post and my first time taking pictures of fossils for help with ID's. I promise I will get better!
About these fossils:
These bone fragments and scutes were found west of Houston, TX, along the Brazos River (Fort Bend and Waller Counties). All of these...
Hello,
I am new here so if I make a mistake give me a heads up. I found this about a week ago. On the beach, in the ocean. Someone suggested, that it may be a fossilized tooth. They suspected, it was from the miocene epoch. They said it was from a three-toed horse. I know absolutely nothing...
My best friend, Jake, is moving in just over a week and we go fossil hunting every couple of months. Me and my dad and him did it one last time today. We arrived at Westmoreland state park and headed down to fossil beach. We had a great time and a good haul! Mine included a dolphin vert, lots of...
Found this rock today here in California. Not sure if fossils occur on rocks like this.
Showed a few people and they said it looks like a drawing almost.
So, is it a fossil? Or perhaps native American art?
Im really such a novice at anything computer related so if this didn't turn out right, my bad. The image adding process is confusing as heck.
anyway, found these in eastern Kentucky. One set looks like small leaves/ferns, another looks like a branch with leaves? as for the others im unsure...
Howdy from Central KY woods. Not a metal detector user. Used to be shell collector. A few fossils in this neck of the woods.:thumbsup:
got a "what is it" for ya'll.?????????
Went on a road trip with some members of the New York Paleontological Society over the weekend. We traveled to a number of destinations in Pennsylvania including Renovo, Centralia, and a mysterious Amish settlement. Our main objective was to find fossils from the Devonian age. The first place we...
I picked these up at a rock shop near my home a few months ago. I am going to guess that the light brown piece is petrified wood. As for the others-I don't have a clue.
Can someone help?
Thanks
Found this large rock along the river on Randall's Island in NYC it stuck out among all the other rocks and I liked the way it looked so I lugged it home, has anyone came across a rock like this anywhere?
I have collected fossils for over a decade now and am willing to part with some, if I can get a good offer. I offering some of my cretaceous shark teeth, belemnites, oysters, as well as dinosaur bone fragments in exchange for some of the following: a decent megatooth (Angustiden, Chub, Meg...
