These were found in NE Colorado. Any help? What are the squiggly lines on the samples?

Hey, found this bone on the beach in Salthill, Galway, Ireland. I have no idea wether it's actually a fossil or not, but if it is a fossil, I suspect it's not a true fossil. It's such a small fragment that it's probably no good for determining what creature it came from, but I'd love to give it a go. It's probably around 6-7cm long, but I can't find my ruler anywhere, so I'll get an actual measurement when I can. Let me know if more photos would be helpful. Thanks for your help!

Long time no Sea, but I found a skull(?) beachcombing yesterday (12/11/2021)

Well, possibly. My mom suggested it might be a coccyx of some kind, but I think the surviving eye socket is extremely suggestive. Forgot to mention my usual, found it on a Suffolk beach in England, washed up by the North Sea. Let me know if you'd like a different view. Also, is the part between the eyes what they call a fenestra? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or information!

I found this at westmoreland in Virginia. Does anyone know what kind of bone this is or what it could have come from?

Hi, Found in the shingle in the mid tidal part of Woodside beach (Just West of Wooton Creek/Fishbourne, see arrow on map image). Not your typical Isle of Wight fossil hunting location but happened to be killing time before the ferry and always have my eyes down. Geology is Bembridge Limestone formation and Bembridge Marls. I remember there was a wave cut bed of soft grey clay/mud exposed a few meters away to the east which extended north into the sea (Trying to stop kids getting it all over their shoes...). Any help identifying this would be appreciated it has a quite distinctly curved tooth like shape, flaring on the inside of the curve at the wider end, have taken lots of photos to try and show the curved and slightly twisting shape.

I found this stone at a river in Tennessee. At first I thought it was just a cool shaped stone but the more I look at it, I believe it is a bone. Can someone please help me identify whether or not it actually is a bone? If so what type bone. Thank you in advance!!

I am not sure where it was found because it was given to but I'm sure its a tooth because it isn't a rock and it isn't wood.

Looks like pet wood, but not, and it's making a click noise that's freaking me out
Lone Hunter posted a topic in Fossil ID
Never been startled by a fossil before now, this thing has a life of it's own. Came from creek in Eagle Ford with QT and QAL material, looked like wet wood until I washed and dried it, I could shine it with my shirt, almost looks silver it's so shiny, as I'm turning it and looking with loop I hear a click noise, couldn't figure out where it was coming by from until 3rd time, after I stopped moving it clicked and I could feel it. That's when it got weird, as I'm taking pictures , not touching it, it clicked, several times. It is light, sounds like bone when tapped, very hard, and wondering of it's peice of tusk now, that's haunted, it's very unnerving.

I found this bone a few months ago in Ignaberga Quarry, Sweden upper Cretaceous. But is there any possibilty to id the animal it belonged to or what type of bone it is? It is surely marine reptile.

Hey guys, I’m back again with a fossil identification help request. This one came from the Dallas Texas area, it is Cretaceous in age. I’m not sure of formation info, but it’s some kind of bone. I’m hoping it’s even identifiable and if any other pictures might be helpful let me know. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi! I found this bone on a remote, virgin beach in northern Iceland just the other day. I’m completely green when it gets to those topics and have thus no idea what it can have come from. Possibly a piece of a large fish or seal vertebra? Any ideas? Can anybody help me identify the bone?

Every so often I go kick around at the old AAS, it was on my sight seeing list for Rockwood and we stopped by other day. Finding anything white there is rare, I can't remember any of the fossils from there being white and all the wood there is black. This looks like bone if left with no other choice, but I'm sure I'll be given some

Hi guys! I went to look for some bones on the beach like I always do when the river flow goes down, there's always something but the problem is that I never know what I found. The last time they helped me here to identify a whale humerus, thanks a lot! This time I found several bones, but I had to discard many because they were badly broken or did not look interesting. All of these are about the same (12-18cm) The one that looks better is that kind of vertebra, I searched with Google and it says it could be from a bison, but sounds weird a bison in a beach, and btw, the place where I found them is Uruguay, South America - where there never were bison I think. And sorry for the bad pics, but it was the last hours of sun, I can take others if required. Thanks!!

Anyone know what these are? Found on the Kansas river. Doesn’t seem to be vertebrate as there is no hole for the spinal column. Don’t think it’s a tooth either. Any ideas?
-
Ok guys, is this better? This came from the Columbia Gorge near Vancouver, Wa. It’s 18cm x 10cm and is shaped like a pelvic bone. Any idea what it is from or is it just another rock?

So when I first dug this up out of the sand, I thought it was probably modern due to the color, and it felt pretty light and a little more brittle than my normal finds. But there is mostly Pleistocene material here and sometimes it can be hard to tell. I put a lighter under it and it had no reaction. And when I cleaned it up, I realized that a hole runs through it. I've read a lot of past posts by @Harry Pristis describing foramen, and I've seen examples in his collections where he discusses the differences between which animals have which types of foramen, but I'm still a little shaky on telling whether this would be an entepicondylar or supracondylar foramen. I thought that foramen for leg bones are only found in the distal humerus, but this bone has a particularly flat end that doesn't seem like a great match for the humerus examples I've looked at so far. Maybe that's just due to wear. I feel like I'm probably missing something here. Any info would help. Thanks. --Brandy

I found this bone in my mince ('beef') and I couldn't begin trying to ID it. My best guess was a rat's rib but rat ribs don't look quite like this. It's obviously not from a cow, those are enormous. Unless it's an inner ear bone or something? I realize that this is a fossil hunter's forum but it's the nearest thing to my need that I managed to find.

Found in North central Nebraska. Miocene. I have a feeling @Harry Pristis and @Shellseeker might be helpful on this one.
