This bone was found in a gravel pit in an industrial area, outside of a warehouse. California, USA. This is the last place I would have expected to find a bone. I just happen to notice it among many similar looking rocks . The bone seems to have fused or been bonded to pieces of gravel and rock. I doubt from the photos that it will be identifiable but it couldn’t be that old. Maybe it is more common to find bone in piles of gravel than I am aware of. Just thought I would share.

Hi, JP. I saw your comment on another thread, and decided I would try it out on some White River micro matrix I have been working on, and it works pretty well! Much faster and easier! Just thought I would share some pics of the teeth I have found so far: My brother actually found a small lizard jaw sitting on top of the micro matrix. The lizard jaw is near the center of the container. I have searched through probably less than one gallon of sifted micro matrix. And to me, that seems pretty good! Cheers and Shalom, -Micah

Hi everyone - found an interesting rock in the deck gravel at my parent's house in Michigan, fossils turn up there pretty often and from the outside this one had an interesting look, I gave it a cut and a quick polish and wonder if it's a stromatolite? They do appear in MI fairly commonly across a bunch of different formations from what I understand, what do we think? We are in the lower portion of the state where most of the fossils are Devonian, but the gravel could be from far away so not certain

I have looked under magnification but can't find any wood cell structure so this one is throwing me off but still leaning toward wood. Under magnification I did find hairline striations but those can also be found in some enamel. This piece is also polished looking but it is as it was found could it be a tooth fragment?.

Some of you may recall that towards the end of last year, I bought myself a usb microscope. The aim was primarily to have a closer look at my amber inclusions. Also used it to magnify my regular fossils too. After having read through some of the threads on this sub-forum, I decided to delve into the realm of micro-fossils. Had a look online. And found a good deal on that auction site. 28 x 50 gram sachets matrix. Spanning various time periods. According to the seller, it is primarily invertebrate material. Am planning on getting started on the weekend.

Is there any chance of narrowing this down? A friend of my daughter found it in Hertfordshire, south east England. It was from a disused gravel pit and is presumably Pleistocene. The underlying geology is Cretaceous. It appears to be a tooth root with a bit of crown surviving, maybe not enough to ID. Bear (Ursus deningeri premolar?) has been tentatively suggested though the images I can find suggest that it's too large for that. Possibly U. spelaus? but I really don't know anything about this kind of thing and that may be wildly out. @Fossildude19 @JohnJ Could you possibly tag anyone who knows about this sort of thing? Thank you for looking!

any ideas?

Found in gravel wash of Johnson Creek in Arlington, Texas. About a mile east of Texas 360. They feel like fossils to me. And I don't notice stink over a flame. Is the size right for a bison ?

Pet wood? Found outside of a fast food place in Wisconsin. Most rocks here are older than trees but this was in a gravel pit.

Found this Paleozoic echinoderm. I’ve found thousands of crinoid bits but nothing like this.

Went to the local gravel pit. Walked away with this gorgeous gastropod and a beautiful bryozoan in jasper. Will be returning

Found in amongst gravel in an arable field in Norfolk, UK. Possible fossilised tooth? Please can you help identify it? It’s about 3cm in length.

Found in gravel from the Brazos River ....I got it wet and it was a bit more tacky than other stones that given its odd shape and texture makes me think it may be Coprolite?... well one can hope right?...if its not that then it is some tacky poop looking concretion or normal stone....if it is nothing its another pebble for my garden of look like, could have been but nots.

Hello, fossil friends! I'm a first-time poster to the forum. I've had this little fellow for several years now. I found it hanging out among the gravel decorating an apartment complex in the southwestern United States; Tucson, Arizona, to be specific. I cannot explain why it was there, unless it was somehow ignored as a rock, or discarded by someone who no longer wanted it, but all the same, I was aware of the general shape of an ammonite, and brought it home with me because, well, its spiral was pretty! There are several dry rivers about the area, but I know next to nothing about where these little guys might be found. I can offer that Tucson is well-known for its gem and mineral show, where one can often find such things for sale. It appears to have flecks of turquoise, which is common in the area, among so many other bits and pieces I cannot identify. Otherwise, I have no other information to offer regarding it, so I leave it to some of you vastly experienced individuals! A complete novice, I'm attaching several photographs, and pray you'll find it in your hearts to be kind with me in my quest to find out the genuineness of this neat little buddy. Included in the images are my attempted measurements, as indicated. In advance, I thank you!
