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!

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!

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!

My husband found this nearly perfect spherical fossil on a beach in South Carolina. We think it looks like an acorn, but perhaps it is some sea creature. Any ideas? Thanks for your help

I found this bone in a field in east central indiana. I did a field test to see if it is a fossil. I am an amateur but I believe it is a fossil. I was told there was a Buffalo lick about 2-3 miles north of where I found this. I am looking for help identifying.

Hi, I found this bone in the high tide line on Point Pleasant Beach, NJ after a huge storm. The storm brought record breaking waves (photo of the waves a few days prior to the find is included for reference). I found this along the high tide line from that storm, among tons of huge bivalve shells. The line was at least about 20-25'' higher than the regular tide line. To add.. it's heavy for it's size and if I scrape the end with my nail, it feels like I'm scraping my nails ok concrete. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Hi all, any help with these two fragments is greatly appreciated! Both were found on ocean-facing barrier island beaches. The smaller object in Pic 1 was found in Beaufort Co., SC. I picked it up in a small handful of shell fragments and was about to toss it down when I noticed the symmetry and pattern; I'm not even sure where to start with an ID though. It measures approx. 1.5 x 1.7 cm; approx. 0.5 cm tall at the highest "bump". The bone fragment in Pic 2 was found in New Hanover Co., NC. My first thought was turtle bone, possibly a piece of a pelvic girdle? It measures approx. 5 x 3.5 cm, 1.75 cm thick on thickest side and 0.5 cm thick on the thinner, flatter side. Any insight into what may have caused the scratches(?) on the one side is also appreciated. Thank you in advance! Pic 1: Pic 2:
