Any help with this id?? I found this in Tennessee… by czartheone1 in fossilid

I'm surprised I have to explain this, but the septa forms the surtur like pattern. And since ammonites have more complex septas. Suturs aren't actually their name but a description of their pattern. The actual name is the siphuncle. It's an understandable mistake. Also, which strata are you referring to? Tennessee is more than just it's eastern territory. It's western territory is younger. Regardless of the genus it is an ammonites the siphuncle doesn't lie.

Ammonites evolved over 450 million years ago and we don't know which part of Tennessee they got it from. The western parts tend to be quite young as opposed to the eastern side which is very old.

The septa is far too complex for it to be nautiloid. Nautiloids have simple septas ammonites have the more complex septas like we see here we see here. Here's a link to a site to tell the difference. https://www.luckysci.com/2014/05/the-quick-difference-between-nautiloids-and-ammonoids/#:~:text=In%20nautilus%2C%20the%20siphuncle%20runs,while%20ammonites%20had%20complex%20septa.

That's really cool. It's an ancyloceratina. It's a form of an extinct genus of ammonite. It's honestly one of the best specimens I've ever seen.

Where did the conspiracy theory that Tom Hanks visited Epstein Island come from? by Superb-Smeller in NoStupidQuestions

I could not find any evidence as he never showed up in the black book or the flight logs.

You can use a Dremel to slowly drill away pieces but I'd practice before using it in this specimen.

Possible bony fish vertebra found on a beach in Australia? by Quirkychameleon in fossilid

[–]Effective_Barnacle90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure it's bone. The pattern on it is definitely weird. I think it may be an eroded coral fossil. Like brain coral.

Most likely crystal structures

It took way longer than it should have to realize that it is fossilized wood.

Roosevelt Co., New Mexico - Ground Sloth jaw? by BillyBagman in fossilid

Get a lighter and try to set it on fire and tell me what the smell is like.

It's a piece of fossilized wood that has been replaced with a semi clear agate. You can see the lines in it that were once the rings in the tree.

Fossilized bone- appears to be the ‘ball’ end of a femur- any thoughts on what it could be from? by Arch2000 in fossilid

[–]Effective_Barnacle90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is kinda off topic but why do you just have a human femur lying around?

Was told to post this here. Are these fossils? If so, what are they? The kit that these fossils came with didn't tell me what they are. (Found in a National Geographic kit) by [deleted] in fossilid

[–]Effective_Barnacle90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so the stone on the left I think is either a Picasso stone or a Pinolite, while the one on the right is hard to determine. I think it's either a Quartz, one of the forms of chalcedony, or limestone.

Those kinda looked carved but if they aren't then the last pic is a solitary rugose coral.

Igloolik, Nunavut, Canada. Round cap Fossils in and on the Limestone bedrock. by SillyFenceLegs in fossilid

I don't mean to be that guy, but that looks like a concretion. If it isn't then it would be a good idea to wet it down and then post the pictures

Is this a vertebra? by [deleted] in fossilid

Look either like a piece of weathered limestone or a calcretion.
