A student found this on the playground. No
A couple students were amazed when I told them “Indian Beads” (sorry if there’s a better term for them) were fossilized enchidoderms and they went searching for some on the playground. A student ended up finding this and I was amazed by it. Told the kid it was probably a plant but that I’d send it to a community who’s more versed in such things.

Not sure what this "rock'" is that I found on a beach in Point Reyes, California. Thinking it could either be a external mold fossil of some sort, a type of bone, or some type of coral?

Baltic Sea - something bigger
Hi guys,
I have found this one today at northern Baltic Sea at the chalk coast. Never seen something like this. It’s as a big as a letter so I didn’t take it with me and just take a pic as usual. Now I am looking at this pic and asking myself if this was not something special. Please add your comments.

Found in Mississippi
Google has too many theories on this so I’m asking the experts here; 2” Bone or Rock?
