Hello, I was looking for shark teeth at Holden Beach, NC USA. I found this odd bird talon shaped object. It is hollow, but doesn't look like a shell. I don't have a ruler handy, It is just estimate about 3 cm long and about about 1cm wide at the thickest end.

I've been searching the gravel bars in the Brazos almost every day this week while the water is still low enough to get down there, and I've collected a pretty good assortment of fossilized bones. Most of what I've found have been fragments that are totally unidentifiable, but a handful still have some significant features that could lead to an ID. There's too many pictures to post all at once, so I'll reply a couple times with more. Thanks for the help! This first find is definitely a tooth and is the only piece I have that isn't from the Brazos, instead I picked it up on a trip to one of the small beaches north of the Texas City dike. I'm thinking bison, but I'm open to suggestions.

We found this hollow bone-like fossil in the surf of the Chesapeake bay, Haven Beach, Mathews VA. It appears to have a cut or tooth mark. Can't find anything else that looks like it. Could it have been broken or sawed?

I found this on a gulf coast beach near Venice Florida. There were many shark teeth and other fossils in the area. Someone suggested it was a crocodile tooth. It has an odd, very knife like shape: the shorter side is thick and rounded, the longer tapers to an edge. The calipers in pics scales 1/10th inch. Any clues or help with ID is appreciated.

Hi All, I found this on a beach in Puget Sound, Washington. Any chance it's some kind of fossil or is it just a strange rock? Thanks!

Howdy, I find these sifting at Venice beach. Are they worn down/broken wave worn pieces of manatee teeth and enamel? Some of them remind me of a very worn down half of an image A. from @Harry Pristis photo that was previously shared on the forum. I think they are so beautiful and I can tell it’s enamel but I never knew from what. thanks

So ive been walking caspersons beach at night quite a lot and last week i really got the hang of what days and times are best to go looking based on tides. I went searching two nights in a row and found a ton of stuff! There were some awesome sandbars that made wading for larger fossils super convenient. I found a horse tooth, bison tooth, two partial mammoth teeth, a whale ear-bone, and a bunch of other stuff including a nice little meg. Take a look

Hello! I am new to the forum, and this is my first time posting. Today I was at Moolack Beach on the Oregon Coast (part of the Astoria formation, I think), and I found something I hadn’t seen before. I found it in the surf. Attached are multiple photographs. Please forgive the zoom/occasional blurriness. The fossil seems to be about 10cm (~4in) long, and 5.5cm (~2in) wide at the wider end. Thank you for checking it out!

Hi All! I found this possible nautilus fossil shell on the beach. It has nacre and also is quite fossilised on the ends. Any help with ID would be very appreciated. Thankyou!

This fossil was found on a Gold Coast beach in 2019. I'm thinking Pliocene as it's like most of my beach fossil finds. It's a curiosity as it has some crystals inside the carapace. Any thoughts on this? Thankyou!

Hi All! Could you please help me to ID this specimen that was found 2019, Miami Beach, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia. I'm hoping it is turtle coprolite from the pliocene. I have other pieces if that would help. Thank in advance!
