Hi, My first time on the forum where I would like to ask for help in identifying the following images. The fossil was found in a washed out river bank in East Anglia, UK after several weeks of heavy rain. Having gone through the normal Google image search process, the nearest match I can find is a Bison. Am I on the right track? Thanks in anticipation for your help.

I have this item, and I believe it is made from a mammoth intervertebral disk. Is that correct? Additionally, could you please provide information on its age and potential value?

LOCATION: Orange County, CA Hi. I found this bone in a pile of rocks along a wall adjacent to the railroad that runs along my house. The bone is fairly large and doesn’t look to be very old. Any idea on what animal it belongs to or what type of bone this is? I included a photo of the spot where I found it. thanks, james larkins

Hi everybody, I found this last Sunday on the beach in central Vietnam. It looks like fossilised bones with some skin on it. Does anybody know what this could be? Thank you in advance for your help.

Fingers crossed, I think there's a real fossil in this mess! I accidentally chipped the part I think is a fossil, bone or shell maybe, with my tile nippers trying to chip away the bigger rocks in the conglomerate-- the nippers are for sherd crafts ONLY from now on! However, the pattern of lines in the part in question is as it was when I found it in the lower canal along the Delaware river near Pt. Pleasant, PA. My husband, King of Pareidolia, thinks it's a turtle. I'm not going to see things I can't hypothesize on, I'm here instead.

I found these fossils in the cliffs here in Victoria. I was told by a fossil collector that they are fish earbones/otoliths. Can anyone confirm what they are? Thanks, Manfi

This bone was found in a gravel pit in an industrial area, outside of a warehouse. California, USA. This is the last place I would have expected to find a bone. I just happen to notice it among many similar looking rocks . The bone seems to have fused or been bonded to pieces of gravel and rock. I doubt from the photos that it will be identifiable but it couldn’t be that old. Maybe it is more common to find bone in piles of gravel than I am aware of. Just thought I would share.

Curious about this piece of fish bone. From a Middle Devonian (Givetian) site. It's fragmentary and weathered, but the weathering exposed some interesting structures on the underside, consisting of parallel rows of indentations. Not sure what to make of it. Any thoughts?

Hi, this is my first post here. I found this whilst hiking at Guadalupe mountains national park. Is this a fossil and if so can anyone help identify what it may be? Thank you.

Bone found in Bolivar Peninsula, Texas .. about 2 miles down from Mcfaddin Beach. I have found many bones over the years in this area. Have identified some as possible bison? Teeth, leg bones, etc. I love finding these treasures and become somewhat obsessed with finding out, “what is this?” Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

Has some weight to it when I knock on it, it has a sound of almost ceramic

Hello , I have this two still unidentified pieces in my collection. A bone and a tooth. But from what ? The bone looks like If it came from a joint (flat , smooth area ). But I have no clue to which animal the tooth belongs to. Could it be that these pieces are from the pleistocene ? I found them in Hejlsminde , Denmark in a cliff. Thanks !

Hey, As a little recap to the last post, a bit ago me and family were working on an excavation project for a house within Caldwell County in Central Texas and accidentally broke through the upper cretaceous layer (namely the Upper Taylor group) and found a bunch of fossils. I'm going to try to post at least 5 fossils every other day going forward so I would really appreciate the help! 1. I have no idea what this could be. My best guess is that it could be some sort of shell imprint. 2. This one reminds me of a vertebrae with the line pattern, but I've never seen a vert this shape which surprised me. 3. Similarly to the other one, it again reminds me of a vert because of the line pattern, but it's so thin so I got nothing. 4. This one surprised me the first time I found it because of its weird design on the top. It almost looks like skin. Not to mention that it has 3 layers which confused me even more. 5. This find is probably the one I am most interested of the 5. The reason being because it looks like some sort of tooth. The reason I say this is because of the texture on the bottom reminded me of a shark tooth root texture. Thanks for the help!

I found this heavy, dark bone on a gravel bar along the trinity river in western Dallas County Texas. Any ideas? This little calcite-like pebble occupied the hole visible on one end. I have not performed any burn tests, litmus tests, multiple choice tests, or otherwise. I measured it, 9” long almost exactly. Roughly 1.25” wide near the center measuring across the side with the dip. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone one, this is my first post on here and I was hoping to try and figure out what this mystery bone is. It was found on the coast of North Carolina near the town of Duck on the ocean side on 12/25/23. This is for sure a modern bone and not a fossil. I am led to believe this piece is from a sea turtle shell, though I am not 100% sure. The piece itself is roughly 13 cm across, a little over a cm thick, and about 8 cm tall in the middle point. The piece appears to connect to other bone structures from just about every side except for the points of the "wings". If you all have any suggestions as to what this could be that would really help! Thank you!

Greetings, Two days ago I found this jawbone while I was walking through the countryside, and I've doubts if it belongs to a Wolf, a Coyote or a dog, although I think it's belongs to a Coyote. Thanks you for help!

I found this massive piece of bone the other day in Ponte Vedra FL. Anyone got any clues where it might have come from?

Hi, Was wondering what this could be. It is 19cm and I suspect it could possibly be from a theropod, but it might instead be something else. Thanks!
