Hi I am based in West Sussex UK and have been doing a bit of weeding in my garden during lock-down. I keep coming across stones that look to me like fossilised bones. I could be wrong though!! Maybe you can help please??

Found this rock in Wisconsin US near Lake Michigan. At first I thought it was a collection of bones but looking closer I just don't know.

Hello everyone, During this time of pandemic lockdown (since March 17 here in france) I take a walk in the forest sometimes since I cant go to the beach to search for fossils, im in the area of calvados about 7 km from the coast and these are some of the things I found the other day walking along a dried river in the forest. I believe no.1 is a piece of petrified wood, it's heavy and have very well preserved details that look like wood. The other pieces I'm not sure, they are all heavy like rock and in some of them you can see rock. But I have no idea what they are. Size of the wood piece is 15 cm for scale. Thank you in advance for your help,

Hello, We found something after walking thru TFF "The Farmers Field"... we have been working to identify trees and now we have move onto rocks. I have two boys 5 and 7 and they are very curious! We are working together to discover what is around us during this time of isolation. Looking hard for answers and discovering truths. Hoping that you can help us understand our findings. All the best, Jeremy

Hello my friends father who was a surgeon passed away recently and after everything was finalized I inherited you could say a bunch of different fossils and stones. These were in a box I have about a hundred more pieces some big some small of what appear to be bone? Or maybe a tree or plant but I think bone. I cant tell you were he found them but he did dig them up himself and his daughter thought it might be at or around the ocean probably pacific that these were found. However she couldn't be certain. Please help!?

Found what looks like fossilized deer bones and antlers in Emmitsburg MD. Not sure if this is correct, or how to identify fossilization and age. The bones are lighter than I expected, but they clearly feel like rock/mineral. No experience at all with antlers. Thank you.

Hi there! I'm hoping you can help me narrow down what animal this skull might be. Most likely from the California area. Thanks in advance!

Was wondering if anyone has experienced any shipping problems with the whole lockdown thing going on? Having a package shipped from Europe soon and was worried it would be held at customs for a long time due to shutdowns everywhere.

Found in Big Brook, NJ

Here are two small oddball bones that I found. Both appear to be complete or mostly complete, but they have odd shapes that I am having difficulty making sense of. This is especially true for the last one, which is shaped like a human ear (I know it's not that, LOL, but that's what it reminds me of). Both were found in my sifter on the Peace River at Gardner (Pleistocene?, Bone Valley, Florida) Any help would be appreciated. #1 #2 -

Dinosaur ? (Marine reptile?) skeleton discovered while ammonite hunting in central Oregon
TheNecromancer13 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
2 days ago I was digging for ammonites in a road cut in central oregon, and happened across some very large bones. I will be returning to the site with a team of NARG members and affiliates to excavate it in a few weeks. Super exciting find, there are at least 6 bones exposed, probably many more yet to be found. The ribs are 3 inches thick, so probably at least a 20 foot animal. This is by far the coolest thing I've ever found.

washed up on Isle of Palms beach outside Charleston SC Upper left one has me dumbfounded. Would love to know if they are bones, what animal are they from

Thoughts? Found this heavy bone in the creek today. We have found whale bones there before. Also found what I believe is part of a vertebra along with some huge Chesapecten.

From the album: Triassic vertebrate fossils
A 13 cm long stone with three nothosaur vertebrae and another unidentified small bone piece from a triassic "Bonebed" in a quarry in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg). The verts are very small, especially the one beside the bone fragment. The bigger ones are about 2 cm long. Detailed pictures: -

Licking dinosaur fossils: how does licking rocks help us identify them as fossils?
KrishnaRao10 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Greetings kind people, I'm so sorry if this is such a noob question. But I've searched and searched but I couldn't find answers to these on internet. (kindly correct me because I feel I maybe wrong): Smithsonian website said licking dinosaur fossil helps in identifying between a rock or a fossil... But isn't fossil a rock in itself? Fossils are made because minerals get replaced and it's not possible for bone to remain in its original state for millions of years. So, it's not the original material anymore.. so licking a fossil should equal to licking a rock? In that case, licking should not work? -

Checking on three more specimens found on Myrtle Beach - I labeled them 4/5/6. I'm very curious about #6. The more I look at it, the more it doesn't look like a bone.

From the album: Triassic vertebrate fossils
A 20 cm long stone with a couple of bones from a triassic "Bonebed" in a quarry in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg). On the plate are two vertebrae, one rib and two unidentified bones. The quality of the bones is partly not good (especially the vert in the middle is bad preserved). The prep was not too difficult but it took quite a long time to finish it. Some more pictures: -
These were found river and creek side in Charleston, SC. I believe the first three are teeth and the last two are bones. I’m suspecting mammal on most if not all, I’ll put my guesses with them. 1. Not sure what these are from but appears to be a jawbone with teeth if I had to guess. 4cm x 2cm 2. The closest thing I can place this to is a tapir, but I’m not sure which end attached to the root and which was the chewing surface. I think the blurrier photo (#2) may show the chewing surface at top left. May not be a tooth at all but it really looks like it to me. 4cm x 2cm continued in next post due to image sizing

Nice day for another hunt. Fish bones and a small crocodile tooth.

Stopped at Flag Pond today since the weather is nice.

I am curious what this could be, I located it in San Juan County, NM, USA. I don’t have a scale in the photos, the item is larger than a golf ball but not much. It has visible bones & skin present. thanks for any help you might be able to give.
