Fossils

I know a few people that have Trilobites, as I think they are pretty common. I have a few prehistoric shark teeth, and some petrified wood (if that counts), but that is all.
I want a Megalodon tooth. :-(

 
I haz some from a quarry. I donut know what they are but after looking up Trilobites they are prolly something akin to those although maybe simpler.

I dug up the shark teeth. The area I live in used to be under the ocean.

My 7th grade history teacher used to find dinosaur fossils at her ranch every now and then. She took us out there for a field trip when they found an entire dinosaur. They had a team from the local uni digging it up. Kinda neat.

She said she would often find a peculiar looking rock, realize it was a tooth, start digging and find an entire dinosaur. Or something to that effect.
 
I have a very nice piece of petrified wood I found. It has a knot in it.

I posted pics of it on this forum and no one believed it was real. Some people were saying it was wood and it was'nt petrified! So, I made a quick video and proved it was real by tapping on it lightly and posted how much it weighed.

I'll take a pic of it again soon.
 
I have a whole box full of rocks from college in the garage with micrites containing fossils like echinoderms and brachiopods embeded in them. Also have some fossilized mud cracks and ripple marks from the Hampshire formation taken from a road cut in West Virginia and some other stuff similar to that.
 
I have a few fossils of plants, shells, bugs, etc.

When I was a kid I lived a few years in southern Indiana. My grandparents lived in western Tennessee. Both places have tons of fossils, so we would look for them from time to time just for fun.
 
I used to collect ammonite fossils when I was a kid, as they're pretty common in my area.

I don't really collect that stuff anymore
 
I have some fossil trilobites, snail shells I think, what looks like a scallop shell and some others that I am not sure what they are.

We have a lot of sedimentary rock in my area, so fossils are fairly common.
 
Just me...😀


When I was a kid I had quite a few pretty cool ones dug from a fossil-bed in eastern Washington. I used to have a necklace with nice piece of amber with a fly inside it, but a girl I dated stole it from me...:|
 
Yeah, I've got few.

Most are fairly large 12" across.

I'm a CPA and do the wrok for a local musuem, I'm allowed to pick out specimens for sale in return for my office's bill.

One is some kind of dinosaur fish looking thing that's like 20 million years old.

One looks like some huge conch shell thingy.

Two have strange conical- type critters (some kind of snail or invertabrit that would live in the ocean). One specimen is about 8", the other about 20".

I also have an assortment of large chrystals and geodes from them.
