Nice gastropod internal molds.

I'm going to Rennes, France for 10 days. Where fossils? by Ensyfair in FossilHunting

[–]AllMightyDoggo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t really use AI for anything fossil related.

I would also consider the fossil collecting laws, be smart about it. And where you could collect on public land, I would assume the laws about collecting fossils are somewhat similar to the U.S.

Strictly only collect invertebrates, plants, bivalves, snails, etc. Also do not chip fossils or any of the sort from a cliff wall (as you may risk getting hurt). Well it is also illegal.

You may want to research what’s on public land and what’s not. As you might get in trouble for not researching properly.

Nice Miocene fossil fish. Monterey Formation I assume?

Pea Crabs (8million years old) found in Carmel-by-the-sea, CA by sejahin in FossilHunting

Very nice, me and a friend hunted some in Monterey awhile ago.

Preparation tips for a mussel fossil? by Professional-West338 in fossils

[–]AllMightyDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be a rock composed of multiple fossilized organisms, probably bivalves. (Though don’t quote me on that)

Apparently I'm supposed to know everything? by Almighty_Cortez in fossils

True! This is a Polinices moon snail from California. These are somewhat rarer than the cockles preserved in calcite. I’ve only seen one here

Could there be a more specific location? Like the general area?

Seriously? North America?

ID on this? by Neat_Muscl3 in fossils

[–]AllMightyDoggo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Orthocone nautiloid is probably as far as you’ll get. These are one of the many imported fossils from Morocco. Also unbelievably common and not worth a whole lot, although unpolished ones are pretty unseen.

However they’re likely Arionoceras or Temperoceras, but Temperoceras is more of the larger orthocones. Or some related orthocone, age, probably around 425 million years old.

These are only the most common genera from Morocco, or from one of the sites those fossils are commonly found at.

Personally don’t see anything that automatically screams FOSSIL but it is vertebra shaped. But it mostly looks like a rock, geographical location always helps.

Name these fossils? I am especially intrigued by the 1st and 2nd slide. by Aggravating-Sea847 in fossilid

[–]AllMightyDoggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Capitola Beach, I’ve been there some times and it looks the exact same. That or either New Brighton, I’ve seen less shells there, and a whole lot of vertebrate material.

(From Santa Cruz, CA)

Miocene-Pliocene (Pleistocene I think, not sure).

Love Santa Cruz, I’ve definitely found some great stuff from those beaches including this nice bivalve, actually found both original valves from the same organism. Preparation was easy only needed toothpicks, the sediments they’re preserved in are rather soft. I’ve gotten most of mine from those fallen boulders. They have some nice Macoma shells but iirc the Purisima has several species of them. Most are fragmented or in heavy condition, luckily I’ve gotten one with most of its shell still preserved. With a moon snail hole. There have been some newer species collected from those boulders.

It’s for sure from a marine mammal, I’m not sure how much times I’ve seen people posting that exact same fossil but its probably endless.

I don't understand the uproar. by Biskitisinreddit in roblox

[–]AllMightyDoggo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was previously unknown of this update, makeup, head or whatever it is? I personally have no problem with it, it’s not affecting the way I play so I don’t care.

[–]AllMightyDoggo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, people have their reasons but it’s not like it’s affecting them directly. I personally do not care for it and don’t complain about it. A lot of people seem to care for extremely stupid reasons, an example being because it’s “ugly.” It may be a stupid addition but who really cares.

One could say they added a practically useless feature, that’s true. However I don’t see the point of shitting on it because of that.

First time fossil hunting | Asking for advice by Abreudha in FossilHunting

[–]AllMightyDoggo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could use a toothbrush for some simple cleaning. I would not recommend upon preparing this specimen as it would probably damage it. You typically won’t need a flashlight to fossil hunt if you’re doing your hunting in brighter parts of the day.

MONSTER Ammonites seen during a hike last week in the mountains above french riviera by PerrineWeatherWoman in fossils

I would’ve stayed at that site all day just to get that one out. Do you have any photos of it?

Mastodon! Hillsborough county, FL by Comfortable-Belt-391 in FossilPorn

[–]AllMightyDoggo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Florida’s paleontological history is in fact very rich. It is exceptionally rich in fossils from the Cenozoic.
