    Coal would fit your description. Giving the location of where it was found would also be really helpful. Although it’s not technically a fossil itself, it is the result of “fossils” (dead plants that were buried under the ground for hundreds of years that were subject to extreme heat and pressure), hence the common name, fossil fuel.

    It would appear to be Aragonite.

    It could also possibly be Mastopora Fava or some other form of fossilized algae.

    It could possibly be an Indian game ball. It might be worth looking in the same area again to see if you could find something else, like an arrowhead or something that might lead you to believe it was indeed an Indian artifact.

    Another view. Notice what appears to be a “root”.

    Do you think you might be able to identify what kind of coral it is @leonardo-miranda?

    This one was found in the same location as the other. I’ve always found it amazing how much of a variety of life there was in one location. It would be pretty cool to be able to go back in time and see them all in real life, if you don’t mind ferocious dinosaurs everywhere attempting to eat you.

      Or crinoid stem, @leonardo-miranda and I already had a debate like this

    • Profile picture of Leonardo Miranda
      Leonardo Miranda replied 1 year, 8 months ago

      @a-trilobite this one in particular doesn’t look like crinoid stem at all though.

    • Profile picture of A Trilobite
      A Trilobite replied 1 year, 8 months ago

      @leonardo-miranda I guess that it does have the wrong line pattern, so it is probably some kind of coral

    Yea, @chloe-geddes, I had wondered about that. That would be really cool if they were … now if only I could figure out what the larger fossil is.

      There is also some sort of star shaped fossil. Two actually. Could be a starfish or maybe a sand dollar?

      Are you asking what the whole rock is? It is clam (bivalve) shape and the bore holes would make sense since something would come along and try to eat the clam on the inside

    This fossil, like almost all the ones I find, was found in Catawba Ohio. I haven’t done a lot of research on what it might be, but I wouldn’t know where to begin. It’s not really like anything I’ve found before. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

      looks stromatolite ish. use macrostrat if you know a more precise location, and you can see if my guess might work for age/environment

      Possibly a Stromatoporoid (Sponge)

    Thank you @chloe-geddes! Very helpful. I did think of that as being an option, and that’s why I was leaning a little more to the “same age, same species”, but it was still a peculiar find for me. Thank you for a second opinion.

    If that were true @leonardo-miranda, what would say the middle one is? And are the other two just horn coral? Thank you!
