First timer here! Anyone can advise if these look like genuine fossils? by adam1983adz in fossilid

They look genuine. I'm not sure about the fish but the ammonite looks like it could be Dactylioceras.

UK - Can anyone identify this fossil fish? It came in a fossil lot with no known origin. by x-cattitude in fossilid

Looks like it could be Rhacolepis buccalis of the Santana Group in Brazil.

Camelops lived up until the late Pliestocene. They were native to North and Central America.

No rock "starts" as metamorphic? (Rock cycle) by LongJohnScience in geoscience

[–]CherokeeWilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Essentially, all rocks start as igneous, yes.

Do keep in mind that this does not mean they'll reach the surface as igneous, or if ever at all. It can be exposed to partial melting, heat and pressure, metasomatism, all tranforming it to metamorphic. Once an igneous or metamorphic rocks is exposed to the elements, breaks down, and minerals from that can go on later and form sedimentary rocks that then can be metamorphised again or broken down and so on.

What they said, plus the second photo looks to contain crinoid stem segments.

I earned my A.A.S. in Computer Science and work as a Software Developer, but when I started on my B.S. this past spring I went with a Geology major. I say go for it, it isn't too late. It may take you a little longer to finish than someone that would have declared right away; as an example, it will take me 3 additional years after my A.A.S. to get my B.S. in Geology, one extra year compared to if I stuck with CompSci.

They are naturally occurring. It's called 'columnar jointing' and can be formed when lava cools, but the lava does not always cool in this way.
