This was found behind my father in law's cabin in the woods, in a pile of rocks next to a creek. Not entirely sure if this is a fossil but I would suspect that it is a clutch of eggs. I have found numerous, large crinoid stem fossils (they appear to be carboniferous) in the same area every time I go out on a fossil hunt. If it were from the same general time frame, I'd suspect it to be a clutch of early reptile eggs. However, this is only an amateur's guess.

[Editor's Note: This sort of thing fools collectors all the time. It is almost certainly a mineral formation like goethite or hematite or other sedimentary formation. Perhaps someone familiar with the minerals of Ohio can leave a comment to be more specific. I'd like to point out that, although not a fossil, it is still a very interesting find and worth taking a look at.]
I would like to find out what my fossil is, any ideas?

[Ok, we're not sure what that is although it does look similar the Orthoceras in the previous post. Any Midwest fossil collectors familiar with this? Please leave a response below for RockFindingRyan.]
Found this fossil while out walking the dog.

[Note: We are not certain is this is a fossil or a sandstone formation of some kind. Is anyone out there more familiar with the fossils or geology of Wollaston Northants? Please leave a comment.]
