I found this interesting fossil in the summer, on the bank of a small river, in which the water is clear and pure. I think this is coral. What do you think? Write in a comment. #fossil

Hi Andrei it looks like it could be coral or bryozoa. Can you tell us about the creek (what country or province/state it’s in)?
-
Russia, Kursk

I’m liking the texture of this ammonite fossil. Maybe the lines are lines of growth? #fossil

This shell was given to me along with some other fossils. Do any mollusc experts have tips for determining if a shell is modern or fossil? #fossil
-
This is a very nice Aporrhais pespelicani, but itās not a fossil one… the quick answer to your question is āitās very diffficultā. I can send you a link where I give some explanation to your question
-
Actually, where was this found?
-
@max-dereme the shell was left on my desk along with some other shells that may have come from a quarry in Florida, but we arenāt 100% sure! They were left with me because they didnāt have locality data, but could be used for education. Thanks for your help!
-
Iād be surprised for this to come from a quarry… my guess is that itās from the West European coast (Portugal, France, Spain), or a bit more south (west-African coast). Over here I explain how to recognize fossil from modern shells: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/91298-gastropod-madness-on-the-banjaard/&do=findComment&comment=1007364 (hopefully you can copy the link)

beautiful

Itās so cool to know that such an exotic species made it all the way to the FOSSIL office!
-
@jeanette-pirlo agreed! Thank you @max-dereme for the great info!

@sadie-mills glad to help š
