Hello! I recently attended a show and picked up this Triceratops Squamosal Section (labeled as such). I don't have much experience when it comes to ceratopsian bones and I was hoping you guys could help either confirm the I.D. or correct it. It was found in the lance Creek Formation, Wyoming by the seller, dated between 69 to 66 Mya. I know determining the exact species is difficult, and I was thinking of using the I.D. of Chasmosaurinae indet. (Thanks @-Andy- for your helpful naming guide on the "Dromaeosaurus Teeth?" thread ). I tried to get appropriate angled pictures to help with I.D.ing but if another view would be helpful that I missed, I'm more than happy to get some more pictures once I get home. Thanks for your help!!

I stopped at Lake McConaughy (near Ogalalla, Nebraska) on my way out to Colorado and picked this (along with some nice burrow casts, probably clam) from one of the beaches. I’m not very familiar with the fossils in this part of the state and wondered if anyone could help me with who this chunk of bone may have belonged to. I know it’s a stretch to id this considering how little of the bone is there and the lack of either end, but any help would be appreciated.

I occasionally grab a handful of micro-matrix from Cookie Cutter Creek and examine it. Very tedious work. Last night I ran across what I believe is a bone. Hopefully those educated on vertebrates can tell me if it is bone and if so, from what!!!! I am dreaming that it is avian in origin. So so delicate. I am shocked I didn't destroy it during it's photo-op. Thanks for looking. Mike

Found this little fossil today in a creek in South Carolina Lowcountry. Not sure what it is and the curvature is and turns in it made me curious what it could be. Any thoughts? Thanks, John

Hi all. Complete novice and haven't been able to find a thread that specifically addresses what I'm trying to do. Basically, I'd like to figure out the best way to further clean the specimens in the photos attached to help accentuate the color and details. So far, I've only given them a thorough rinsing under warm water and a light brushing to remove some of the exterior dirt. What, if any, next step can I take? Mild chemical solution? Blasting with baking soda? Further soaking in water? Also, I'd be curious to know what type of chemical application would be appropriate to bring out that varnished wet look? I've seen several chemicals mentioned in other threads, but want to ensure that whatever I end up using is proper for my application. Again, being a real novice, I'm trying to eliminate any errors due to my lack in general knowledge. Thanks for the help as always.

This weekend as I was out rockhounding for quartz crystals I found this interesting piece. It looks very much like bone to me. Any insight or information would be appreciated. I will add more pics in the comment section. Thank you!

Hi all, Today I found this but I can't figure out what it's from. It doesn't look like a vertebra from any angle to my eye. It seems to have a point of articulation. From a river in Eastern NC.

I found this fossil today on a hill close to a beach called shipwreck beach in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. I have not found anything quite like this before. Hope it can be identified. My geusse is leg bone, but it looks a lot like a jaw with no teeth. I'm no sure about the time period, most fossils here seem to be from miocene.

Is this a fossil or modern?
Joe_17 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I came across this online and wondered if it was indeed an antiquss or a modern bison? It claims it is a fossil

Found these near Austin and the one on the left looks like it could be a femur of something and the one on the right I'm not sure of but it feels and looks like the same as the other one. Pictures Fossils or rocks? https://imgur.com/gallery/U2yFKZo

Found this on the lower Brazos while catfishing Saturday. Its overall size is throwing me off and making me think I might get to add a new name to my finds list. Thank in advance team.

Hello - I found the fossil pictured in North Myrtle Beach 2 weeks ago while on vacation. I initially thought it was wood and was moving it out of the way to search for teeth and fossils, but the heavy weight made me take a closer look. It is about 3 " long, 1.25 " thick, cylindrical and slightly curved. This was my first time hunting for fossils. I did not see anything online that resembles this. It is obvious the fossil was broken on both ends at one point. Any help in IDing what this could be would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hello, I found this mystery bone along the Burnham on Crouch river in Essex, UK. Any idea what it could be? Eocene and Pleistocene deposits in the area. Thanks. Jay

Somebody any idea ?

I got a few fossils that I needed help identifying. One is a strange heart shape and appears to be bone. There's also a vertebrae and didn't know if it was a fish or shark vertebrae. I'm assuming shark due to its size. Finally, there is a bone that looks like a spur or piece of armor plating that I was trying to ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, Can you help me identify what animal this may be? It was found in Botswana. It is a semi-arid climate. Any idea if it's carnivorous or not? Any clues are helpful! Thanks.

Another piece from the collection at work: Description given is Hadrosaur Tibia. It was in the collection before I started here. It is in 2 distinct pieces, and it has been that way the entire time, since the foam cutouts in its box are shaped for them. It has broken in other places, but I've fixed those with paleobond (although I do have pictures of the broken cross sections somewhere) I'm mostly looking to confirm or disprove whether or not it's existing ID is plausible, and maybe identifying which side (right/left) it's from.

Posting for a colleague. Unidentified fossil found in small spoil pile in a public park after a recent rain. Found in Wimauma (southeast of Tampa), Hillsborough County, FL, USA. Feels dense (no marrow holes observed. Doesn't appear curved enough to be a claw. Any help with an ID is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello - found this damaged bone on a rock bar in southern Minnesota. A triangular piece is broke off the the proximal end. However looking at the other end, which seems intact, it does not look like bovid which is what I usually find...
