I found this bone fragment while hunting for shells on San José Island, Texas (near Port Aransas). There is a history of cattle ranching on the island and there was once a herd of wild horses (thus Mustang Island, just south of San José). When I found it, it was wet and a little darker — I expected that when it dried out, it would be a recent bone. After a month, it is still dark and heavy, so I am thinking it might be mineralized/fossilized. I heated a nail to see if it would burn or emits an odor, but it did not. I then used a butane torch and the result was the same. In my mind, it would be really strange to find a bone fossil on a Texas beach. Thus, I am turning to this group to help figure out what this bone is.

From glacial deposits in E Kansas. I need some help on this one. When I found it, I assumed it was bison... however to my eyes it doesn't seem close to bison or cow after studying some papers. Could this be hippus, or possibly something else? As always, I really appreciate y'alls help. I'm stumped with this bone, I do my best to id stuff on my own- Still learning. Thanks! Proximal: Distal:

Hello to anyone who has taken the time for this. I am a novice novice, that enjoys going to the beach and shark tooth hunting, mainly in Horry County-Myrtle Beach, South Carolina-USA. I found these two items both times thinking it was wood, but realizing that probably not since they were quite hard. I really believe one to be a bone (images 1-5) and the other I just don’t know (images 6-9). Any ideas?

I have a couple of these, this is the best specimen. I think they are from a mosasaur but only because they were found on the NSR. There are two indentions/holes that don't show up that well in the picture. The first picture shows the indention the best, there is a corresponding one on the other side. I apologize the lighting didn't make that more clear. If it helps in identification, I can retake pics.

Found this bone on the beach in Marco Island Florida need help finding out what it is

Hey everyone! I need some help identifying an object I found in Asotin county, Washington on the banks of the snake river. I believe the object is a bone. looks like one end of a femur to me but I'm just guessing. It's probably from a cow or horse, but it's really heavy, like it's petrified or water logged, leading me to wonder how old it is. I have never seen anything quite like it, myself. Any input would be amazing. Please and thank you.

This was found near the Calvert formation in Maryland. It does seem to be fossilized. Thanks for helping out a newbie and I will take proper photos for future posts.

It's shaped different then most of the limestone rocks around it. I found it in blue river in Kansas City Missouri

I know it's hard to identify a bone with an unknown location and no identifying features but you all are super good so I wanted to give it a swing. I purchased this in IN, USA from a flea market for .75c was just curious what it could be if it could be IDed

I collected this bone earlier this week in an outcrop of the Calvert Formation (Early-Middle Miocene) in Maryland. I found several vertebrae in close proximity to each other that I have tentatively identified as dolphin. I will share them after I finish cleaning and prepping them. Next to one vertebra was this mystery bone. Any idea what it could be? Maybe part of the dolphin sternum? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My son found this at a beach after a big storm in Santa Cruz, California. It was mixed in with a bunch of wood and hard to spot. I think this is a possible bone hoe artifact because of the even rounded edges at the end of the scapula??? Also..one side is "polished" (not the side shown in the pics). Seems too small for a bison but too big for an elk based on what I researched but I know nothing about animal bones. It's about 12 inches long and 6 inches across. Seems like this is a common fossil/artifact in the Midwest USA, but I did not see this as a common tool used by indigenous people on the US West Coast. Any assistance would be much appreciated. If this is something of a rarity for the Central West Coast, or it is a significant artifact due to how complete or undamaged it is, we plan on handing it over to the museum of natural history in Santa Cruz. THANK YOU!!!!

Hi all, Thanks so much for the kind feedback on my Berthasaura reconstruction. Here is another example of my work: A 'juvenile' tyrannosaur skull based loosely on Jane (BMRP 2002.4.1) I'm aware of the debates regarding age and species however I have just approached this as younger individual. Thanks so much for checking out my sculpt. I'm printing a prototype as we speak, I'll post some updates on here once its assembled!

I found this a couple years ago on a ranch in north east Wyoming. It was sticking part way out of the ground and it looked like a fossil of some kind. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Spinosaurus toe bone real ?
Brevicolis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, i have this toe bone labeled as spinosaurus in my collection. But it seems kinda suspicious to me. Theres definitly real bone that matches the form, but some areas look like plaster or still covered whith a layer of matrix. Is it real and bad preserverd, 50/50, or a complete fake ? And is it even Spinosaurus ? Because Spinosaurus toe bones are very flat compared to this one.

Hiya, found this in Southerndown, Wales. I think it could be bone but I dont know. And even if it is bone, I've no idea what animal it'd be from. This site is jurassic 200-190 myo. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I found this fossil toe bone in the Lance Formation of Wyoming. Is it a theropod toe bone or a turtle toe bone? It seems hollow.

I found this (fossil?) bone on the beach at the Beaumaris fossil beach. Could it be fossilized or just bone? Does anyone know a way to see if something is fossil?
-
I picked this up in the back yard here in Cleburne, TX. Racoons unearth small stones digging for grubs. Oysters and rudist fragments common in the soil here, but my intent was to spare insult to the mower blade. Something about it suggests bone to me. Could this be a thin walled bone that is barely preserved?
