      It is extremely worn so it is hard to say for sure, especially given that the area you found it in has really mixed up stratigraphy (you might be able to figure out a more exact age by using the app Rockd). It is likely an invertebrate from the paleozoic, perhaps a straight-shelled cephalopod, or a partial crinoid stalk.

    Found this in landscaping. I broke it in half. What’s up with the perfect square?

    Looks like a jack from the Jack’s game. I found it in Mount Washington Kentucky. Sticks to a magnet.

      @matt-griffin, off the top of my head I don’t know any man-made object that looks quite like this (but it certainly could be one) but it is obviously made of or rich in iron, I wonder if it might be a limonite psuedomorph. In any case it is not a fossil.

    Any idea what this is ? When I get the side wet it looks like a agate and the outer part looks like petrified wood ? Will upload another photo of what looks like bark on the side. All guesses welcome #fossil

      Agatized wood is a thing. It’s a beautiful piece.

    You can definitely see teeth. It’s a alligator or a dinosaur. But not a carving.)

      they keep saying it’s a carving .but when I found it like 3 years ago the outer part was just like it was but there was sand stone covering it so I scraped the sand done away and this is the shape it make. I can sand any more down it stops there. but it’s defiantly a fossilized animal. way cool

      it’s just one animal. if it’s fossilized would it be a dinosaur.
