Another hunt recently with more E KS ‘glacial’ material. Posting this on behalf of my hunting partner. My novice guess is equus, but I’m not sure. If it is equus, got any species ideas? Thank you so much, I really appreciate the help!

Found in top a hill in the forest last year was far to interesting to leave!! Very Heavy for its size has a small piece of petrified wood sticking out the side. To me resembles a hip bone or shoulder. Found in Higbee, Missouri.

Hiya, First time posting….. We went for a family fossil walk this weekend along Barton-on-sea beach, Hampshire, UK. Among the fossilised shark teeth and shells my daughter also picked this out of the sand. I was thinking it is a fossilised meta-tarsal or phalange bone, looks like iron pyrite, but no idea what from? Hoping someone on here can lead me in the right direction. Thanks Vikki

Hello to anyone who has taken the time for this. I am a novice novice, that enjoys going to the beach and shark tooth hunting, mainly in Horry County-Myrtle Beach, South Carolina-USA. I found these two items both times thinking it was wood, but realizing that probably not since they were quite hard. I really believe one to be a bone (images 1-5) and the other I just don’t know (images 6-9). Any ideas?

From glacial deposits in E Kansas. I need some help on this one. When I found it, I assumed it was bison... however to my eyes it doesn't seem close to bison or cow after studying some papers. Could this be hippus, or possibly something else? As always, I really appreciate y'alls help. I'm stumped with this bone, I do my best to id stuff on my own- Still learning. Thanks! Proximal: Distal:

Hey everyone! I need some help identifying an object I found in Asotin county, Washington on the banks of the snake river. I believe the object is a bone. looks like one end of a femur to me but I'm just guessing. It's probably from a cow or horse, but it's really heavy, like it's petrified or water logged, leading me to wonder how old it is. I have never seen anything quite like it, myself. Any input would be amazing. Please and thank you.

I found this bone fragment while hunting for shells on San José Island, Texas (near Port Aransas). There is a history of cattle ranching on the island and there was once a herd of wild horses (thus Mustang Island, just south of San José). When I found it, it was wet and a little darker — I expected that when it dried out, it would be a recent bone. After a month, it is still dark and heavy, so I am thinking it might be mineralized/fossilized. I heated a nail to see if it would burn or emits an odor, but it did not. I then used a butane torch and the result was the same. In my mind, it would be really strange to find a bone fossil on a Texas beach. Thus, I am turning to this group to help figure out what this bone is.

This was found near the Calvert formation in Maryland. It does seem to be fossilized. Thanks for helping out a newbie and I will take proper photos for future posts.

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 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.

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!
