Hello all, Found this on the Maryland side of Assateague Island National Seashore while fishing. Not sure what it is or if it's even a fossil. The grey matter is hard as a rock. Any help is appreciated. I can post more pics if needed after work. (Didn't think to put a ruler with it)

Hello! Erica here. I’m struggling to identify this piece! It seems quite old and has teeth like indentions down to the tip. I found it on the beach here in ponte vedra, florida. There also seems to be small circular indentions along the sides. Curved like a claw or a beak. Idk! Any thoughts?? Thank you fellow comrades!

Took a day trip down to Casey Key, FL near Venice Beach. Found lots of small shark and ray teeth and some really nice shells.

I found this piece of bone along the beach in The Netherlands, I have had it for a while but wanted to put it up on the forum to ask whether it was shaped by humans or natural wear by the sea (natural was my thought when i found it but the point relatively symmetrical especially for something shaped by the sea - so just wanted other peoples thoughts. Thanks so much.

Hello, I was at the beach on the east coast of Scotland this weekend and found what I think could be a fragment of a tooth, perhaps of a cow or horse. Would anyone be able to help me with the ID?

Found on a beach in The Netherlands (known for prehistoric finds) I know it is generally difficult to ID a smaller piece of bone but because of the odd shape of this bone I thought I would see if some recognizes it. Thank you very much

I have this in my possession over 25 years, I cannot remember where I got it, however I used to make hand crafts and used stones from the beach mainly Killiney Dublin Ireland. I went through a stage looking at stones with a magnifying glass telling people that the stones were fishes and lizards (I could see scales and claws and teeth on some of them) Everyone told me I was crazy so I stopped !!. This feels lighter than I would expect it to be if it was a stone and it absorbs and retains heat quicker that any other stone that I have, I collect stones from all around the world as I travelled. There seems to be Teeth or A tooth on the underside of it, if it is looked at as a snake head. I would appreciate any opinions

Today along the beach in the Netherlands I found an odd piece of bone?shell?tusk-Enamel? This beach is known for prehistoric finds as the sand on the beach was dredged up from the north sea (that in prehistoric times was dry). I found two bone fossils that day as well but this one i can not seem to figure out what it is. The outside has the feeling of a horses hoof to it. Its about 5cm by 3cm thanks so much for taking a look

I found this object on the beach near cape lookout after a storm. It is very heavy. Any ideas what this might be? Thank you.

Found this rock at half moon bay in California. It leaks out a black tar substance and I have no idea what it is. It has 4 little prongs that look like tooth roots and it’s shaped like a molar. Any help would be appreciated.

This fossil was found today during low tide. It is longer than most shark’s teeth we’ve been finding. Measures approximately 4.75cm x 2cm. I’ve picked up A LOT of oyster shells, pieces of phosphate and rocks thinking they were teeth. This may well be the same thing. It’s the only way I’m going to learn so I appreciate any help in identifying. Thanks!

I found this on the beach in North Carolina. I am fairly certain is it some type of bone. Can anyone help me identify it?
-
Hello all. I found this on a beach in Santa Cruz, CA earlier today. No idea what I'm looking at - all of the similar teeth that I looked at online didn't have a base like this one. Thank you for any help.

Hello fellow fossil enthusiasts, In the pictures included in this post it shows a molar I have found last summer. I found it within a bed of shells on a Dutch beach. I can’t remember the name of the beach, It however was rather close to Zandmotor, which is famous for its ice age mammal bones. I have shown this molar to a fossil buyer/seller and he has told me its possibly an unused molar of a woolly rhino. I thought I’d put it on here too however to see if anybody agrees. thanks for looking, AnyArthropod

I am sorry, I know next to nothing about fossils and most bones. I do think this is a fossil because the little areas that look like stippling are porous like the inside of a bone and the other areas are really smooth like they have been rubbed against. I could be way off base here, but I just don't know. I found this at North Topsail Beach in North Carolina, March 6, 2022.

Alaskan Amber (Beluga Fm. [Kenai Group], ~11.6-5.3 Ma)

From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Waterworn amber from the beaches near Homer, Alaska; this piece weighs 0.7g and measures 11x9x9mm. The town of Homer is situated on the shores of the Cook Inlet on the western half of the Kenai Peninsula, south of Anchorage. A few geological Formations (Kenai Group) in the nearby area contain coal reserves, but mainly the Beluga Fm. is exposed along the beaches of Homer to Anchor Point: this Formation is of freshwater origin, and comprises layers of sandstone, siltstone, and coal. The Pliocene-aged Sterling Fm. is located slightly farther inland, with numerous streams cutting through it and emptying into the Cook Inlet, however this Formation does not contain much coal. There were a few coal mines north and south of Tustumena Lake, back in the late-19th to mid-20th centuries: the Bluff Point Mine, west of Homer, was active from 1899-1951.© Kaegen Lau
