I've found a number of fossilized jaws on this beach that I have no clue of the animal they came from. Hopefully someone here will be able to tell me. We also find many bones of probably bison that hasn't fossilized. So here are a few pics -------- This is what the beach looks like.

Found this piece on a walk near a Triassic outcrop in Pennsylvania, has a pretty exact visual similiarity to the wing rib of a Triassic reptile but is likely just some form of sedimentary trace. It would be great to get some more opinions on this piece to see if its worth holding onto or I would label it to be definitely sedimentary and rid of it, which I feel is the case.

We found these bones laying in sandy gravel in a sandbar in an area that has Pleistocene mammals and reptiles. I've read threads that joke about chunkosaurs when there is too little bone to identify, and these may fit that bill! I know they don't have a lot of identifying characteristics. I'm hoping to at least rule out a few things or get a few possibilities. My young niece and nephew have come out with us some to look for fossils, and it would be neat to tell them a little bit about these since at their age they just think all fossils = dinosaur. :-) I'm also testing out editing the pictures to cut down the file size so that I can post more, so I apologize if that's a little messy. There are three different bone fragments with six pictures apiece. The first fragment was smaller than the others and darker. The second was the largest and had a sort of compressed oval shape. The third was a chunky more rounded bone. Thanks again for any help.

Bonjour all fellow collectors, my aut gave this bone to me years ago. They are pleistocene / early holocene specimens collected in Po valley in the '70. Do you have any ideas about what they might be? Thanks to all of you.

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.

I found the two objects below yesterday along the Calvert Cliffs in Maryland (Miocene exposure). Any insights on what they might be? Thanks! #1 - I’m not totally sure this is a fossil at all, but could it be a dolphin/whale inner ear bone? (Would be my first.) #2 - I know isolated and incomplete bones are hard to ID, but I’m wondering if there’s enough here to identify the type of bone and maybe even type of animal.

Hi is there any possible way this could be pieces of Placoderm armour or bones? There very different from what I usually find in the area and seem to be vertebrate in origin if it’s not geologic.
-
I know there are worn or broken but would like any information on them. They are fairly large. I think the two white ones might be from the same animal or age, while the black one is very dense and was possibly much bigger than the remaining piece, but I don't know. They came from a beach near Fort Pierce Florida. You can see the rule for scale. Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi, I have three bones today that need your help to ID. They were found on Iowa River's alluvial deposits. Thank you!

Found this thick bone piece in a new jersey cretaceous creek and wonder if its possible to maybe id since one side has a distinct rough texture while the other is flatter and striated, I would guess either large turtle, mosasaur, or dinosaur. My friend joked its a theropod maxilary skull fragment, but we all know around here that material seems close to impossible to come across haha. Interested to hear any other thoughts.

Hey all, its been a while since I posted last. Due to the drought, the river is low so I went looking around. I was walking the river bank and stumbled on an area I can't make sense of. In an area about 15 ft across and 4 ft high there are bones and teeth everywhere. It appears as if there are multiple species of animals, but primarily I am finding a lot of what I think are cow jaws. It is located near a small college established in the 1850's. It is also located in an area that had a heavy native american population. I am attaching some photos I took and would like some input on animal type, how old they may be (I know that may be difficult). I am taking the day off tomorrow to really take a good look and do a bit of digging. Any help would be appreciated. I am sure I will post more pictures as I get into this further. Thank you.

What is the best substance for a false matrix for loose bones?

What do preparers use to create a false matrix for fossil displays like this? Thanks!

Ichthyosaur fossil plate
Mousehead posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This looks authentic to me but I wanted to be sure. The fossils in the background of these photos kind of raised some red flags for me, especially the air holes in the trilobite mortality plate on the left. Ichthyosaur bones on a fossil plate, origin is listed as Posidonia Shale Formation, Holzmaden, Germany. Thanks friends!

Milk river find in Montana. Is the little one a piece of a jaw bone (an inch long)? No clue on the larger - thought they maybe the end of a long bone but there’s really not much of a broken base to it.

Hi everyone, I am a newbie from the Tulsa area. I've always loved looking for fossils and it's been a major part of my life. Yesterday I found a Jaw in the Arkansas River and I'm trying to ID it (age + time period). Looks Bison-ish to me (after looking for the stylid) but I am not sure. Tooth wear (M1-M3) suggest an older bovine (7-10 y/o) and this was the only piece laying on the river bed with no other piece close by. Any help is appreciated and I am very excited to have joined TFF!

Dear TFF Members, I went yesterday for a fossil hunt in the sand pit I usually visit to hunt for Pleistocene stuff and I found several fossils, but some of them make me wonder if they are truly Ice Age or recent: First of all because of their size - the preservation of some of them was a huge surprise: For instance these: No only is the triangle shaped bone almost unscratched, but the two large ones are not hollow (which was normally the case): The other large bones have got a sort of white colour at the exposed edges - which is also something I have never seen before:
-
Look like they might be from the same critter but I don’t know which one. Thanks

Hello After such positive feedback in my skull/jaw find I thought I would post some of the other more interesting looking things that I found. I am not sure if these are just rocks/wood but would appreciate any comments. I can upload better photos if anything looks to be on interest I have uploaded the front and back pictures. i hope this is ok I am very new to this! thanks rich

Good afternoon to all. A colleague and I were doing some exploring in a creek bottom on our jobsite located in Fannin County, Texas. The creek we were walking in drains into the North Sulphur River. As we were walking we noticed a large bone sticking out of the creek bank. We decided to grab a couple of shovels and do a little more excavating. We came across multiple bones. As you may see in one of the pictures, we had to do a little digging in order to reach much of the bones, they definitely weren't just lying in the creek bank. I will upload more pictures with measurements. I kinda want to gauge if we stumbled across actual fossils, and if so we were hoping for some sort of inclination of what we may have found. The coordinates for the find are 33.4122,-96.0804. We were at least 15 feet below the grade of the jobsite in the creek.

Hi Folks, Finally made it to Matoaka this past weekend after the recent Hurricane. Alot of new cliff falls. Was able to collect a few Ecphora is semi decent condition. Nothing completely intact though. I have found a few bone fragments on my last several trips to Matoaka and am looking for an expert opinion on what they are. Below is a pic from my trip this weekend. I really think this is modern but I'm not entirely sure. I think its a C1 vertebrae from a deer, but if anyone has any other thoughts please let me know. Other posts below are of three other fragments I have found.

A bad morning in big brook is better than a good morning almost anywhere else. And a good morning is..... bunch of shark teeth, shark vert, an unidentified vert, deer leg, rib fragment and atlas vertebrae (who decapitated my Bambi?). A good size belemnite and a pice of pottery

Found these bones about 8 foot down in a cut bank along a river. Suspect bison.. any help appreciated. Have more pics if needed. I included the cut bank. Believe whole skeleton to be there, did not find head yet. Thanks

Went to Big Brook in New Jersey and found these three items. (In VA I have found a lot of whale bone, however this bone is bigger and of different color.) Also, what are the other two curiosities below it? The smaller one looks like a toe. Thank you for looking and for any feed back.
