I found this along a riverbank in central Minnesota. The part that I identified as the head is about 4cm long, from the beak tip to back of head. It seams to be a small field bird or maybe just a rock... any help?

Marine reptile skeleton real?
Erbenochile posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I found this at an antique shop and was wondering if it is real. There is very little info but to me it looks like it’s from China. The owner said it is from an old collection. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -
I was given some fossils from Hell Creek, North Dakota. I've been able to find out IDs to some of the pieces but having harder time with bones pieces. So was hoping for any help. Wasn't sure if you can tell bone pieces as dinosaur or not ( or what kind of bones) from photos. A bit to many little pieces to try all but will post ones thought where the better pieces (will try 3). Hoping can at least be able tell if bone is dinosaur or other animal bone. #1 (was sure dinosaur tooth but can't tell which one) #1 (other side) #1 ( side with looks like wear or a broken part) #1 (top or bottom part) #2 (bigger bone piece) #2 (other side) #2 (top) #3 (first side) #3 (other side) #3 (closer view) #3 (closer view other side) #3 (top) #3 (bottom)

This was just given to me today by someone who initially got it from someone else. As such I don’t have the location where it was found but the guy who gave it to me said that the guy HE got it from thought it was possibly something like ‘weevil’ but that the guy wasn’t 100% sure what it is. its tubelike with a slight bend, mostly hollow though one end is sealed off. its kind of lightweight. Probably not helpful but it does have a funky smell to it that I can’t quite place and can’t figure out whether it’s ’hot metal’ or ‘beachy’. All measurements in the photos are in cm ’

Hello, I have acquired a T-Rex tooth a few years ago but I now have doubts about its proper identification. The tooth measures 1 inch.

Hi everyone. New to this forum, but looking for some information if possible. I found this "fossil?" on my parents farm out in Wilson county, TN back when I was a kid. I enjoyed hunting for fossils and other cool looking rocks growing up and still as an adult when I have time to visit. This was one I always thought was really unique, but never knew what it was.

I found in the hills around Farragut TN. I found it on a washed out logging road. Is this a fossil? If so, of what? It looks a little like the bark of a tree, so maybe it is petrified wood.

Malibu Creek Canyon Narrows - Oyster Bed and Shell Fossils - Southern California
ezeemonee posted a topic in Member Collections
Some examples of fossils found in the cliffs and boulders of Malibu Creek Canyon Narrows. Oyster Bed and Moon Snail and Turritella Shell Fossils. The species guess for the Oysters based on research is Ostrea (Pycnodonte) Howelli, but I am not sure. Probably Eocene period fossils. Maybe Miocene. Nice area of Malibu creek in the Santa Monica Mountains but difficult to access.-

I found a few more pieces of what I thought was crocodile at first but now I'm not so sure. Then started thinking could be drum fish part but the photos I seen looked a bit different. So thought I'd ask. They are from north carolina. #1 (top) #2 (bottom)

Found at a junk store in Graves County, Kentucky. Unfortunately the owner didn't remember what estate sale he found it at. I bought it as a simple geode but after cleaning it up I think it may be a geodized crinoid calyx. Its extremely heavy, sorry, no bananas for scale. Thoughts?

Crab preparation (How to fill cracks to apply paraloid?)
pochoclo666 posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Hello everyone ! I have stored these crabs a couple of years ago, while storing them they cracked (I suppose it is due to the internal humidity, they were found on a sea coast). I have the paraloid to apply them, but there are these cracks that I have to fill somehow so the paraloid doesn't leak. What material do you suggest as filling? And please know what percentage of acetone and paraloid is in the mixture? Thank you all ! greetings ! ps: the material that covers the crabs is hard sand EDIT: The reality is that I don't have much of an idea of how to prepare them, I was thinking of applying a layer of paraloid on one side, also filling in the cracks on something (the one where the broken crab can be seen, the place where it was exposed) and working on it on the other side. -
