Another shell stuck to a thing. Looks more like bone than a fossil? Mom sent me pictures, don’t have it in my possession yet.

Really stumped with this one, but it has a pretty distinctive shape, so I'm hoping someone with more experience can pretty easily tell what it is. Found it in southeast Texas. --Brandy

Hi all, I need your help if possible in identifying these 3 fossils I found this month at Manasota Key, FL. They were found laying on top on the sand at the shoreline. I have attached pictures and am labeling them (1) (2) and (3) starting from 1 to 10 on the measuring tape. Thanks in advance for your help and knowledge!

So I found this bone. It was found in North Texas, woodbine formation, Ive been discussing this with my friends. They believe its fish. One of the friends believes it might be Ceolocanth since he found a few pieces out here in different locations. I can find pics of anything that looks like it. It has some interesting features: 1.What appears to be enamel or iron scattered around the bone. Its shiny. Looks like enamel but some of the iron out there can look the same 2. It has "grooves" or lines that seem to go along the edges. Could be remnants of teeth, could be bites or claw marks, could be arrow head sharpening marks for all I know. Thanks for the help

I went collecting at the Eocene Whiskey Bridge Locality and found a number of oysters (I presume) that I cannot find good IDs for online. I was wondering if anyone here had a better idea. I additionally found some bone fragments that I am curious about, though I don't know how well they can be ID'd.

Found this interesting specimen Holden Beach. Ridges are very pronounced and linear. At first I thought perhaps a piece of antler but don’t think so. Could be bone but there is no marrow - the breakage is almost like petrified wood. Could this be part of a plant or coral? Notice the lines converge in certain places and start new in others - much like a fingerprint. Also notice on the back side there is a smooth channel which makes me think it was perhaps hollow? Did a sketch of a possibility - what do you think? I could not get any closer photo without my camera becoming blurry. Sorry for not using the international scale and I don’t have the piece on me at this time to lay against the printable table, but would estimate it’s about 2cm or 3/4in wide. Thanks!!

Jurassic, Callovian, Oxford clay, Peterborough Member, near Yaxley in Cambridgeshire. These are fragments I've picked up over time, wondering if they have bone texture or not. The bits I have that are unequivocally bone have better indicators. Opinions would be very welcome. The first I keep in my miscellaneous pile. These are all the same piece of rock. With something so small, even if it is bone, is it something that is potentially identifiable?

We have no clue. Looking for ideas. My father passed the photos to me sorry there is no measurements. Id say it weights 300lbs, 2’x2’ estimate. That is the back bed tail gate of a pick up. Thank you all.

Hello i need help figuring out what this bone is and what it belonged to. I did some light research and I'm almost certain its a mosasaur tooth i just want to be sure. My father found it during a trip to California. If you need better pics let me know.

Hi, I found this fossil in a field in Essex. The surface has a grain and if you look at the ends you can see tiny pore holes going through it like you get in bone. I’m wondering if this could be a piece of mammoth bone?

These were collected in a central Pennsylvanian stream. (Altoona Pennsylvania) The long ones is close to finger length (please don't tell me it's a finger bone haha) and the smaller is about 3/4 inch. Any help identifying would be appreciated.

Hi Fossil Hunters, This is an unusual Find found at Honeymoon Beach, Florida. Approximately 1 3/4" L x 1/ 1/2" W x 1 1/4" H. It's definitely bone but not sure if it's modern or a fossil or what it is. It appears to have veins or vessels on one side. See 9 macro photos below. All help and ideas welcome. Thanks Lynn
