This great fossil was obviously too heavy for someone to carry back to the carpark, and so had been left here on the beach. Kilve is well known for these, as well as its strange rock pavement formations.
Fossil Mountain and Mt. Huethawali in the background. The clouds rolled in on this day but it left me with some great light from Havasupai point in the Grand Canyon.
The fossilized tooth of an ancient giant shark (Carcharodon or Otodus species) from my collection, still retaining some of the darker grey limestone matrix it was found in. It's likely early Cenozoic Era in age, around 50 million years old, from either the Eocene or Oligocene period. It was most likely collected in Morocco. This creature was up to 50 feet long, and is a relative of today's Great White Shark. Carcharodon carcharius (a "tiny" 20 feet long!).
Fossil Cove, Tasmania. Literally everywhere you look, there are fossils of shellfish and other creatures. An amazing place.
Just love watches with skeleton dial design :) Ooh and them car lights from the background make nice bokeh .. pretty lucky haha :)
Fossil trees emerging from the base of the cliff near Happisburgh Norfolk uk.
This may be part of the Cromer Forest bed, which is dated to 2.5 - .5 million years old, the Pleistocene era.
A fossilized shell found in Whitley Bay, Northumberland. Its not rare as there are lots just laying on the beach...
This is how fossils are born. Add organic matter cover it in mud and wait for a few million years and viola you have a fossil. The patterns in the dried mud are caused by freezing temperatures while the mud was still wet then when the sun comes up the ice melts leaving these patterns.
Found in West Virginia!!! Proof that this place was covered by the ocean. My husband found this while working out in the field sampling water at a coal mine. He was in the area of Dorothy WV.
Macro Fossiles Kasbah, near the Atlas Mountains
This sheet/plate was approx. 2 meters x 2 meters so each trilobite was about 120-150mm.
A cephalopod (nautiloid) fossil (and my fingers for scale) in a block of bioturbated carbonate rock ("Tyndall stone," quarried from Manitoba, Canada), recording shallow marine seafloor sediment conditions from long-ago Ordovician times.
See my album "Geology in building stone" for previously posted images of this type of rock, accompanied by comments providing explanations of the geological history recorded in it.

After months of stay-at-home, we planned the safest outing we could think of, a self-guided tour of Fossil Rim Wildlife center. This audad posing for my camera was a highlight of the trip!
A macro photo of a Nautilus fossil.
The Spiral is a recurring shape in the Cosmos and has the exact proportion of the Golden Ratio or Golden Mean (Phi 1.618).
The Golden Ratio (or Golden Mean) can be found in everything from human anatomy, to a nautilus shell, galaxies, butterflies, insects, plants and flowers.
Architects used this formula (π / Phi) from the Parthenon to the Pyramids, and Renaissance Artists like Leonardo da Vinci used it for the Composition of the Mona Lisa.
"Where there is matter, there is geometry." - Johannes Kepler.

Petrified Forest National Park
Arizona, USA
Tourists walk among numerous large pieces of petrified wood scattered is a section of the park.
The park provides easy access both for automobiles as Interstate 40 runs through the park and to numerous overlooks which provide diverse scenes that vary from very colorful, to scenes like this that display interesting geology and vast vista, to locations with the petrified remains of trees that once thrived when this was a much wetter location. If you zoom in, there are some petrified remains on the floor of the scene.
The park is located in the high Arizona desert with elevations between 5,000 and 6,000 feet.
The summer can bring magnificent monsoon clouds, but the temperatures are often extreme (Expect every day to approach 100F and often 110F).

Fossil Stingray (Asterotrygon maloneyi). This creature lived during Eocene time, about 50 million years ago. This fossil is preserved in the Green River Formation, a laminated limestone precipitated from calcium-rich waters. The limestone is interbedded with many thin layers of volcanic ash and mudstone. Fossil Butte National Monument. Lincoln Co., Wyo.
The Fossil Falls is a unique geological feature, located in the Coso Range of California in the United States. Volcanic activity in the mountain range, along with meltwater from glaciers in the nearby Sierra Nevada, played a role in the creation of the falls. They are located near Little Lake, Inyo County, California, 1.0 mi (1.6 km) off US 395 (at a red cinder cone called "Red Hill") on Cinder Road
Cretaceous echinoid fossil, island of Rügen, Germany. Stack of five images, shot with a Nikon Z fc with a Nikkor Z MC 50 mm 1:2.8, auto focus, aperture 29, exposure time 1.3 s, and ISO 400. Size of the fossil is about 3 cm.
Brittle Sea Star (Geocoma carinata). Dorsal surface. This specimen, preserved in limestone, is from the upper Jurassic Solnhofen Formation. It is about 146 million years old. Intact fossils of ophiuroids are quite rare because the fragile body parts disarticulate quickly after death. This brittle star is remarkably similar to its modern counterparts. The specimen shown here is about 4 cm wide. Zandt Quarry. Zandt, Solnhofen, Bavaria, Germany.

Ravenscar is a fantastic place to look for fossils. The rocks are full of the impressions of ammonites and molluscs from millions of years ago.
Can't decide if I like smooth or rough...this all started with trying out ideas for an ammonite cane, then ran across a button I used for a mold a LONG time ago; thought, hmmm....how a bout a fossil slice embedded in a rock....
Fossil Dance Fly (Empiidae fam.) preserved in the Upper Eocene Florissant Formation about 34 million years ago. Specimens of these dance flies are occasionally mistaken for mosquitos, probably because of the prominent proboscis. There are no documented occurances of mosquitos in the Florissant Formation. Specimen measures 9 mm. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Teller Co., Colo.

I bought a Fossil from Rubifalls, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The astonishing part of the Fossil for me is that it's witnessed thousands of years in this world and still same....wow.
Our Coral Weding Anniversary was 26th March 2012 My gift was a visit to a fossil Coral Reef.Carboniferous Limestone circa 390 Million Years Ago.
National Stone Museum Wirksworth Derbyshire UK 26th March 2012
The end of the Carboniferous saw a catastrophe in the sea. The climate cooled and then heated rapidly. This caused huge algal blooms and mass die offs. This short video tells it well

New evidence has downsized the armoured fish.
Standard 52 card deck, plus two jokers. The cards have photos of fossils. The joker photos are a meteorite and a coprolite. Published March 2025 by Adventure Publications (AdventureKEEN).
Most of the fossil photos are mine - some were taken by others (used with permission).
Fossil Trilobite (Flexicalymene ouzregui) of Ordovician age from the Ktaoua Formation. Erfoud, Errachidia Province, Morocco.
Our Driftless area often produces surprises on my hikes and walks. I glanced down while crossing the creek and noticed something odd.
My eyes always search for patterns I guess ...
