Went out on a hunt today and found the usual shark teeth ray barbs. Two of my finds I'm not sure about they seem to be either a claws or teeth. Found them in north Louisiana in an outcrop from the Late Cretaceous Epoch. Anyone have any ideas?

Found in northern Louisiana but I am not 100% on what species. Any tooth experts able to shed some light?

Went out over the weekend to my spot in North Louisiana and had a good day. One of my bone fossils I found is not one of my usual finds. It has a hole through the bottom and comes out the top. I'm at a loss as to what species this bone belongs to as well as if the " tunnel " was for tendon or blood supply? From what I understand the outcrop I am digging in is from the Late Eocene. I have pulled 45lb vertebra and rather large rib bones from here. I'm sure most are from either whale or similar sized mammals. This bone however I have never seen before. Any one have an idea or info on this bone?

These are pictures of one of the fossils... it has honeycomb shaped structures all through it and some of them are hollow while some are filled with a lighter white colored rock...

Hello Fossil Forum! I was hoping someone could help me identify this tooth. A friend of mine found it in the Tunica Hills by the Louisiana state penitentiary. When it was found it was a whole specimen, but got broken by the person taking the photo : ( I hope anyone can tell me just what type of tooth it is. The curiosity has been killing us. Thank you for your time and efforts!

I am reposting in and attempt to get a definitive ID on the rostrum . Thanks to AL Dente I believe it is a billfish rostrum his thoughts were Istiphoridae or Xiphiorhynchus Kimblocki . A Google search has not yielded much information on my quest to positively ID the rostrum. I am asking for something that may be difficult or impossible to do without a hand on inspection but a definitive ID would be awesome. Any information would be appreciated thanks

I'm not a real rock/fossil hound but I do appreciate them and my wife makes jewelry using them every now and then. They are very intriguing and I have always been a bit curious about the slab I was given by an Arkansas friend and came here to learn more about it and to look at others finds.

Nice crystals, even though its not a fossil!! Im not sure what kind of rock or crystals..

I know its coral, but not exactly what type. Is this called a coral colony? It is the biggest one I've found.

Of course I tend to do things out of order...I posted a Fossil ID query first and then uploaded some pics of my finds..and now I'm introducing myself. Just a Registered Nurse that lives in Ocoee, Florida but originally from the bluffs of Copenhagen Community in Northeast Louisiana. I still visit my home at least once a year and I try to hit the bluffs and creekbeds in search for fossils and so forth with each visit...unless it's hunting season...ain't no reason to get shot ya know. Those bones and such have been there over 35 million years and they can wait a little longer for me to find them! The land that I search on backsup to the Copenhagen Hills Nature preserve that is protected from any and all...bunches of digs go on there with some awesome findings. The areas adjacent to the preserve are loaded with awesome unique plants, ray teeth, seashells, bones, and so on... in fact, a little ole basilosaurus was found there in the 1800s by a Judge Bry... http://southernmemoriesandupdates.com/stories/gigantic-louisiana-sea-monster-unearthed-along-ouachita-river/ is a interesting site to look at. Other than that...I tend to pick up rocks at the beach instead of seashells.

Has anyone ever heard of a Megalodon tooth being found in Louisiana? My friend who is an experienced collector just found a very nice Megalodon tooth in the bank of the Ouachita river in Columbia Louisiana. I know you can find many smaller shark teeth there but it's the first Meg I've seen come from the area.
