    found this on gravel road it was from a gravel load from the Brazos river west of Houston Texas at first look I was thinking pet wood but under the microscopic camera the cell structure is a bit odd so was wondering if it may be bone?

    Plant, Bone or Stone

    This item was uncovered while excavating my basement in 2007. After watching a series of videos from the Illinois Geological Survey last year, I believe it is petrified wood of some early tree's growing in Northern Illinois between glacial periods. it weighs 17.2 pounds and its about 10 inches tall. It has a large flat area and another smaller flat area on its opposite. I don't see rings as you might see in tree stumps which is concerning. Rather it has vertical lines on most of it sides with interesting crevasses like an old tree limb might have. It is appears broken at the top with an almost rotted core look to it. Can you help me identify and age this item?

    North myrtle beach find

    Here is another item I found in north myrtle beach! I'm not sure what it could be....I already have sea robin skull plates, and it doesnt look like that, but maybe it is something similar? Any help is appreciated! Posted are the top, then the bottom of the object

    Anyone know what this it?

    Does anyone know what this is? It doesn’t look like a fossil and it looks like some sort of horn/antler section of a mammal. It’s about 7cm long. Thanks in advance.

    Fossil or not?

    Found this rock on our place in southwest Colorado. It’s very different from most rocks here. With a little research I found we are located in the middle of the Morrison Formation! I’m interested to see if anyone could help identify it. Fossil or cool rock? Thanks for your input.

    Unusual river find

    Picked this up on the river after the big flooding, I usually find bison but this seems too slender to be bison. I put a cow/bison tibia next to it for comparison. I know it’s not a fossil but if I posted on other sites i know id hear human over and over. I thought maybe horse but looking at my comparative book horse tibia are more beefy than a cow. Elk maybe? Some Pleistocene fauna? It’s heavy ish but it’s not fossilized

    Unusual ribs

    Hoping to get some good input on these. I found several of these rib bones together in densely packed sand/Ash material. I’ve never seen this type of consistency in any other type of fossil. It’s almost like they turned into Sandstone material. Any idea what causes this or what type of animal they are from?

    Toe bone?

    Just a wild uneducated guess on my part but I’ve always wondered about this one.
  9. Pterygotus

    Bone?

    Does anyone know if this is bone or not? It was found in aust Cliff and measures 4 by 6cm.

    What animal is this vertebra from?

    Not a fossil, but wondering if anyone has any ideas about what animal it's from... It's big and old. Found in pinestraw purchased in northeast Georgia.
  11. I obtained a bone fossil collected from the Arkansas River in Eastern Oklahoma but not sure what it belongs to. I am including several photos from various angles. The dimensions are as follows in centimeters(cm): 16.5 cm x 9 cm (about 0.64 cm in thickness but it varies slightly). The darker brown sections appear to be the outside of the fossil while some parts are interior(?); not sure about the black portions. Any help on what it might belong to and perhaps what part of the structure would be awesome!

    Bone piece from Penn Dixie

    I had a chance to visit Penn-Dixie today and one of my first finds stumped me. It has the signature porous inside of a bone. It’s black. It has radiating lines down one side. Folks running the place thought it was likely a piece a placoderm armor, making it a rare find. Apologies for the pictures. Once again I find myself in a hotel with my phone. Thickness is a bit over a quarter inch. Length is around 1.75”. Couldn’t make the phone focus well on the marrow. Does placoderm armor have marrow?

    Tooth or bone?

    Please help me figure this out...

    Hello all! First time posting here. I'm hoping you can help me out, please. About a week ago I found this bone on a beach in the North East of England while I was out hunting for small fossils. I'd like to get better at recognising bones, so I bagged it and brought it home as a little tester. But for the last 6 days i've been driving myself mad trying to figure out what this thing is! I started trying to narrow down the most common possibilities. I've been looking at Sheep and Cow bones for like 3 days. Then I tried referring to the Natural History Museum's guide to British Mammall bones. I even tried looking at different cuts of meat. I've tried to imagine this thing attached to a larger bone. Like, perhaps that's why I can't find a match? But I'm drawing a blank. It doesn't seem quite fossilised, but I'm anosmic... and well, I can't really face the idea of asking someone to "Sniff my bone". So the burn test is out the window for me at the moment. Haha. Please can someone help shed some light on this? Whatever it turns out to be, I'm super interested. Huge thanks!

    River Fossil ID

    Hey guys, new member here. So around eight to nine years ago, I was walking the sand bars of the Mississippi River alongside Randolph Co., Illinois and I happened to find this fossil bone. I was wondering if we could figure out what it belonged to and how old it is. I think it’s a piece of rib? Thanks guys.

    Mystery item found in western ND

    Hi everyone, I came across this object earlier this evening and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what it is. It was found embedded in a soft rock (soft enough to scrape away large chunks with a pocket knife) with just a small cross-section exposed. It first grabbed my attention because it appears round and hollow in cross-section, and was a different color and harder than the surrounding material. The rock it was found in was at the top of a hill, and located in western North Dakota, just barely across the border from Montana. My friend and I tried to brainstorm what it could be, but everything we could think of didn't quite seem to fit. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it! Also willing to accept that it might just be a weird rock... Thanks! (More photos to come in the comments)

    Is this bone a fossil?

    Hi, I am new to the forum and was wondering if someone could help me identify this bone I found and if it is, in fact, a fossil. I found this in South Bend Indiana in an area where drainage water runs through to a pond. I usually hunt this area for "fossilized coral", but today I found this bone literally just lying on the ground. I have found bones in this area before, but this one is different. It is rock hard and heavy. I was thinking at first it might be waterlogged but the bone isn't brittle at all and looking at the top of the bone, it appears to be rock (as evidenced by the picture). The bone is 9 1/2 inches (24 cm), very smooth, and non-porous except for the first 2 inches (5cm) of the bone which feels rougher but doesn't appear to be porous. I hope I have given enough information and the picts are acceptable. If not, I will give more info and take more picts as needed. Thank you.

    San Diego ID

    This piece was found at the Del Mar Formation in San Diego. It looks like there might be a bone in the middle (see close up). I’m a complete novice at this, so any information is valuable. Do you think it might be bone?

    Bone

    Hello, I found a piece of bone on the beach from Cap Blanc Nez in France. There it is mainly cretaceous but pleistoceen can also been found. Or maybe it is recent, I really don't know. Any help would be appreciated!

    Portland Bone ID

    G'day everyone! I reccently returned from a fossil trip to Portland, VIC searching for pliocene shark teeth and bones. Dad and I came back with some nice stuff but I also found this bone that has had me stumpted. Most bones collected from the site are fragmentary but this one appears to be whole but I have no idea what it is from. The bone is 30mm long, around 5 -6mm wide and very thin (Around 1mm probably a bit less) The fossil is pliocene in age, fossils found from the site include: Shark, fish and ray teeth, cetacean teeth and bones, terrestial mammal teeth and bones and rare avian material. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dan
  21. I found this piece of limestone that seems to be too much of a coincidence for it to fit in my hand just right. It almost reminds me of the manubrium of the sternum but then I thought it could maybe be an ancient carved tool. It could also be just a rock :-). Any help would be appreciated.

    ?? Bone or just interesting rock?

    Didn't pay much attention when I picked this up, just noticed it was interesting. It was a surface find and I guessed I would figure it out later. Any ideas? Found this somewhere south of Wamsutter, WY.
