Users are encouraged to include a scale reference! (A coin, ruler, etc!)

Please tell us where you found a particular fossil (does not need to be the precise location). This will aid in the identification process. If you happen to know what age or rock formation it came from, please include this information!

Bought from street vendor in Mexico, is an actual fossil?

Smells kind of metallic like a penny.

Paid $20 for it, probably got scammed but in my defense I was a few beers deep and wanted to get my fiancé something 😂
