I know it's hard to identify a bone with an unknown location and no identifying features but you all are super good so I wanted to give it a swing. I purchased this in IN, USA from a flea market for .75c was just curious what it could be if it could be IDed

I collected this bone earlier this week in an outcrop of the Calvert Formation (Early-Middle Miocene) in Maryland. I found several vertebrae in close proximity to each other that I have tentatively identified as dolphin. I will share them after I finish cleaning and prepping them. Next to one vertebra was this mystery bone. Any idea what it could be? Maybe part of the dolphin sternum? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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!!!!

Hi all, Thanks so much for the kind feedback on my Berthasaura reconstruction. Here is another example of my work: A 'juvenile' tyrannosaur skull based loosely on Jane (BMRP 2002.4.1) I'm aware of the debates regarding age and species however I have just approached this as younger individual. Thanks so much for checking out my sculpt. I'm printing a prototype as we speak, I'll post some updates on here once its assembled!

I found this a couple years ago on a ranch in north east Wyoming. It was sticking part way out of the ground and it looked like a fossil of some kind. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Spinosaurus toe bone real ?
Brevicolis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, i have this toe bone labeled as spinosaurus in my collection. But it seems kinda suspicious to me. Theres definitly real bone that matches the form, but some areas look like plaster or still covered whith a layer of matrix. Is it real and bad preserverd, 50/50, or a complete fake ? And is it even Spinosaurus ? Because Spinosaurus toe bones are very flat compared to this one.- 9 replies

Hiya, found this in Southerndown, Wales. I think it could be bone but I dont know. And even if it is bone, I've no idea what animal it'd be from. This site is jurassic 200-190 myo. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I found this (fossil?) bone on the beach at the Beaumaris fossil beach. Could it be fossilized or just bone? Does anyone know a way to see if something is fossil?

I picked this up in the back yard here in Cleburne, TX. Racoons unearth small stones digging for grubs. Oysters and rudist fragments common in the soil here, but my intent was to spare insult to the mower blade. Something about it suggests bone to me. Could this be a thin walled bone that is barely preserved?

Hello all, I posted a tooth yesterday that you kindly identified for me, and I have a few more fossils that I found that I would really appreciate an identification on. All found on Zandmotor beach, The Netherlands. There are four specimens: 1 A bone with a hole in the middle, seems like a vertebrae(??). Any idea what fragment it really is and maybe what kind of animal it came from? Length: 2.5 cm 2 A bone that I would also like any information about, although it might be really hard to identify. - 4 cm 3 Small, flatter bone. - 4.5 cm 4 Are these petrified wood by any chance? They do feel like a rock and also sound like such when I gently hit them with another rock. There are 3 pieces in total that I have shared. - around 6 cm.

I found this mandible last year, and have been trying to id it. I think it's squirrel, but I'm not sure. Difficult for me, since it's just a partial. If it is squirrel, genus/species ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Glacial deposits, E Kansas, USA Has no teeth. Missing lower and rear section of mandible.

I have a couple of these, this is the best specimen. I think they are from a mosasaur but only because they were found on the NSR. There are two indentions/holes that don't show up that well in the picture. The first picture shows the indention the best, there is a corresponding one on the other side. I apologize the lighting didn't make that more clear. If it helps in identification, I can retake pics.

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?

Scapula / femur bone central texas near dino vally in glen rose id please
trap posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this very hard and heavy petrified fossil? off a hill in a ravine by a natural spring on our property after clearing some land. It has kind of a porous exterior. Perhaps part of the head of the bone broke off partially over time? scapula? A rancher said it looks like a cow bone. It is so old and heavy I just don’t know if I buy that. Is it possible timing wise that it would be a fossilized cow or is it possibly prehistoric? Thank you for having a look. not sure of time period to look at. -
Hello! I found this fossilized bone a few days ago after the big tides in the Jurassic of the Boulonnais region (North of France). I can’t seem to place it… The cell structure looks dinosaur to me, not marine reptile. Would anyone be acquainted with this type of material and have any idea? Thank you very much! IMG_0855.mov

Thank you everyone for your patience and helping me learn. This one looks like the right shape and seems to have some level of porousness to it. It is heavier than it looks which supports fossil. It's from Southwest Washington which I don't believe is really known for this kind of fossils, but I might be mistaken. It was weirdly just sitting in the gravel of a drainage ditch. There was some evidence of a small washout and it had been exceptionally rainy/stormy within a few weeks prior. Still was a bit odd. It's not a modern bone, at least not recently. Father in law ran a funeral home. I've had some experience with modern ones. Please help me understand what I am missing if incorrect. Thank you all. This place is amazing.
