Curious about these - and they may not be fossils (more modern), but the color of them intrigued me as they are not white. These were washed up on the beach after a storm and I think are associated as they were found in the same general area. They have similar features, and maybe are the same type of bone with different levels of wear? They were found on the beach near where the Goosfare Brook empties out in the the Atlantic Ocean. 43°29'42.0"N 70°23'04.8"W Thoughts?

My son found this at a beach after a big storm in Santa Cruz, California. It was mixed in with a bunch of wood and hard to spot. I think this is a possible bone hoe artifact because of the even rounded edges at the end of the scapula??? Also..one side is "polished" (not the side shown in the pics). Seems too small for a bison but too big for an elk based on what I researched but I know nothing about animal bones. It's about 12 inches long and 6 inches across. Seems like this is a common fossil/artifact in the Midwest USA, but I did not see this as a common tool used by indigenous people on the US West Coast. Any assistance would be much appreciated. If this is something of a rarity for the Central West Coast, or it is a significant artifact due to how complete or undamaged it is, we plan on handing it over to the museum of natural history in Santa Cruz. THANK YOU!!!!

Hello - This is my first post here. When I first saw this, I immediately thought it might be a tooth or some sort but dismissed it as a rock once it dried. I took a closer look the other day and noticed it did have spongy bone like texture at the ridges, and under magnification I noticed more bone like characteristics. I can't find anything like this shape anywhere. None of the teeth I've seen have roots like this, and there aren't any claws that have such a big bulbous end. Although it looks like a tooth, I don't see any straight lines/enamel like textures. This was found at a beach in Santa Cruz, Ca. This measures 4" long x 3" wide and 2" thick. It is very symmetrical. The pics represent this fossil both wet and dry to see various details. Any assistance is very much appreciated. THANK YOU!

Could anyone help with identifying these fossils found at Turimetta Beach NSW?
ParasauroLoafers posted a topic in Fossil ID
My partner randomly suggested we go fossil hunting at Turimetta. I've never been fossil hunting and I was surprised by how much we actually found. I haven't uploaded pictures of everything we found bc it's mostly just plant matter that I've managed to find similar pictures of in other forums. I'm curious to know if the rusty-orange coloured ones are anything. Was really exciting to find them when carefully splitting rocks in half! There's also a tiny ball shape I found when I split open a rock and it almost looked like a tiny soccer ball or pine cone because of the lines in it. It didn't show up quite as clearly on camera sadly. And there's another rock with a cylindrical shape in the side of it. I thought that was very interesting so I took lots of angles. Thanks in advance for your help! -

Sorry, didn't know about this site until now. Been out fossil hunting at Runswick Bay, England. Lots of ammonites but also found this curious looking stone. Was 20cm tall, about 15cm wide and 8cm deep. The inside looked like bone marrow to me. Sorry, woukd have taken better photos if I'd known about the site. Maybe next time!

Please help identify possible skull fragment found on South Carolina Beach.
Cornpop posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this on the beach in Georgetown,South Carolina, USA. The beach is in the Waccamaw Geological formation & same area l found other Pleistocene megafauna fossils ( mammoth, bison & horse ). I believe it is a reptile skull with its lower jaw missing. It has symmetrical nostrils & 2 pinholes (photo 2) that pass thru and exit 50mm back itself. There is a raised ridge above the “nostrils” (photo 3) & it appears to have two broken eye sockets on each side (photo 4). Toward the front of the roof of its mouth it looks like 5 to 6 evenly spaced tooth sockets (photo 5). ( I have compared it to turtle skulls online but l can’t find anything similar) I will post more photos or measurements if needed) any input or ideas is welcome & greatly appreciated.- 2 replies

Hello everyone, A whole new world has opened up to me! I had no idea this fascinating hobby was so accessible. Today, I embarked on an adventure with my children to search for fossils for the first time. We headed to the 2nd Maasvlakte in Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands. We found a few intriguing items, but we’re not entirely sure what they are. I’m hoping you all could help us identify them. 1. The first item appears to be a vertebra. Based on the photos, can anyone suggest what kind of animal it might have belonged to? 2. The second item looks like it could be a tooth, but I might be too hopeful, and it’s just a stone. I’m eager to hear your thoughts. 3. The third item is firmly believed by my daughter to be a bone ;-). I was skeptical and thought it might just be a stone, but the two round indentations have me doubting. I promised I would ask here. We would greatly appreciate any information or guidance you can provide. Thank you so much in advance! Best regards, Michael
