Hello! I found this on the beach in Corolla North Carolina. The color and texture look a lot like fossilized sharks teeth I’ve found in the past, so I’m hoping it’s some sort of fossil and not just a bit of shell. It’s a little under 1/2inch long. I hope these pictures are clear enough, thank you for looking!

This item is 2 5/8 inches long, 5/8 inches wide and about 3/8 inches deep. It is hollow. Sorry, these photos aren't as good as the ones I was able to get of the deer teeth. It was sort of awkward for the equipment I have. It also came from a beach near Jensen Florida. Thanks for your help.

This partial jaw was found on a beach near Jensen Florida. Each tooth is about one half inch front to back and the entire jaw segment about 3 cm. Thanks for all your help. I originally said one inch but that was incorrect, as one person pointed out, so I corrected it to read one half inch.

Hi everyone. I found this fossil while combing a fossil beach on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. The beach is littered with fossils from the Miocene including Chesapecten jeffersonius, Ecphora gardnerae, bone fragments of all sizes, and the occasional shark tooth. This stood out to me as being an unusual bone fragment so I picked it up. It is about 3 inches or 7.62cm in length. Is this a piece of a bone or something else entirely?

Found this guy at the beach today. Haven’t found one like it before, and I have a hunch on what it might be but the cusps make me unsure. Doesn’t look like there were any serrations. At least I don’t see remnants of them anyways. Similar root structure to that of a benedini. Any ideas?

Hey there, This is my first post so please excuse any newbie blunders. I found this bone or other long thing lying on the beach at Tankerton, Kent, UK part of the London Clay formation this week, 14th July 2020. The London Clay formation is said to be early/lower eocene. To me, a layman to palaeontology and Osteology, it seems like a leg bone, perhaps tibia because of it triangular shape at one end?!?! I was told by a young gentleman on the beach that Mammouth have been found there as well in the past. That is about as far as my knowledge goes. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

My 5 year old son is an aspiring paleontologist. He found this yesterday while swimming in shallow water in Sag Harbor, NY. He's convinced that he identified a new species. We love encouraging his expeditions and would love to have help identifying this. Thanks so much!

Please help identify this partial tooth found at Cherry Grove Beach in North Myrtle Beach, SC. This was originally passed off as a Squalicorax, but after further review, it seems heavier and the part of the root that is complete seems different. Teeth may be posterior. Thoughts?

Hi, My Son found this on a beach near Dover Kent in the United Kingdom. We don't know what it is but looks like a fossil to me? The material almost looks like bone to me though. Thanks for any help!

Hello, all. I just wanted to introduce myself to the fossil loving community. I live in northeast Florida (Jax area), and I am looking for any information regarding fossil searching in my area. I’m am particularly fond of shark teeth and have been beach searching for years. With the current pandemic, my interest in finding new spots has increased. And thanks to YouTube, I have been looking in creeks with little luck. I have a few leads that I can’t wait to search. I'm here to share my finds, look for possible locations in my area or those areas within fl and help identifying unknown fossils. Thank you for the add and I can’t wait to share my finds!!

Hi everyone. The other day I found this interesting impression in a rock. When I first saw it, I noticed that it looked similar to the sutures inside a cephalopod shell, but I thought it may have been wishful thinking and was probably something else. I took it home and asked on Reddit, and another user also said that they believed it was probably a nautiloid shell. So, I'm coming here for final verification. Is this a nautiloid shell? The fossil was found in northwest Michigan, along Lake Michigan. Thanks in advance!

This was found on the sand in Myrtle beach South Carolina. Looks like a small vertebrae possibly or a fish skull element, it’s about the size of a dime. Thanks for looking.

One of the only fossils I managed to find at the Texas City dike this weekend, which is well-known as a site for Pleistocene fossils from the Beaumont Clay formation that are pulled to the surface during dredging operations in the nearby shipping channel. I know this tooth isn't Equus, so maybe bison? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all, just found this on the beach in San Clemente, California, USA. I assume it’s a rock, but the bottom shape is so toothy, I wanted to check. It’s 4 inches long by about 2 inches wide. I included photos of the front back and side. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Ok, tired of AK Hiker getting all the glory for Alaska finds hehe Made a run to my local fossil spot yesterday (which includes about 3 miles driving down the beach). Try to only go down when the tide is falling to 1, give more time to explore, and 2, more time to escape when the tides rolls back in. We can have between 8 - 28 feet of tide change! During big high tides the water is to the bluff. Some of the driving is loose sand / gravel so want to make sure if accidentally get stuck have time to get the car dug out before it takes a salt bath! We're searching through the Kenai group, Beluga formation, mid-late Miocene age plants. Most of it is splitting slabs that have been weathered out sitting at bottom of bluff along beach. Most slabs have exposed fossils but they are quickly worn down so it's rock breaking time to find sharper fossils. Most I have not ID'd yet (some I have a very hard time seeing / understanding the differences) First photos are of the area searched (bluff) and the view across Cook Inlet. In 1st one you can see Mt Illiamna across the Inlet which is one of our local dormant volcanoes (3 within 100 miles have erupted in last 30 years or so. Last in 2009)

Are there a lot of cretaceous era sharks teeth along the beaches near Belmar? A friend said he found about 300 teeth over time there and I wondered if it was from older or newer sharks. Thank you!

Found this on the beach at Holden Beach, NC. I don't know much about bones and fossils, but it passed the "lick" test. I looked for similar images online and most didn't look to be this worn/polished around the edges, so my uneducated mind is guessing it's fairly old. And it does appear to be fossilized...not terribly heavy, but feels more rock-like than bone-like (compared to a whale bone carving I happen to have that is about twice the size of this, but lighter). Any idea what animal this might be from? Thanks for your help! IMG_8934.HEIC IMG_8933.HEIC IMG_8930.HEIC
