Any ideas on identification on this rather massive vertebrae? This was roughly three miles up river from FM 60 on the Brazos. No useful context. It was just sitting on a sandbar.

Just wanted help identifying these finds.

Finding the three-toed horse tooth from my first trip really inspired me, so I made the long drive back to a spot I found along the Brazos River. Despite the treacherous route down the bank and mile long journey to the far end of the sandbar, I was not discouraged. I don't usually look for things from this time period, so almost anything I'd find would be a personal first which added an extra layer of enthusiasm to the hunt. The weather was nice and various recreational planes flew about in the sky. Although the Brazos water isn't the prettiest sight to behold, the carved cliffs and southeaste

I've had some free time this weekend, so I decided to mix things up and try hunting the Brazos instead of the usual cretaceous formations around Austin and DFW. The Pleistocene period is something I've always been fascinated by (probably due to the Ice Age movies), so the long drive wasn't enough to dissuade me. The weather was just right which made a day by the river all the better. This being my first time at the Brazos, I was a bit unfamiliar with the geography/prime hunting locations. I settled on parking by a bridge and decided to spend my day checking out both sides of the river. Navigat

Is this a coprolite or just rock? There is something in the center that goes all the way through.
-
I thought this was just a rock but I saw in a book this could be a walnut. Any ideas?
-
What is on the left? It has lines through it like the known palmoxylon (palm wood) on the right but the tubules appear different. Is this also palm wood or something else?

My boss was at it again and he and his wife found another collection of bone, teeth,fossilized wood, and turtle shell along the banks of the Brazos River, TX. Attached a few pictures and I have it at my desk currently so would be happy to take more/or better shots. Portion had broken off (that's why he gave it to me yay!) which I might try and reattach. I've seen some similar on the site, but

Long time since I have been here. Glad to be back and hunting again. I am stumped on a recent find and would be grateful for assistance. I believe it is a sacrum but cannot ID the animal. It’s size is is much larger than bovine. It is structurally developed for a larger animal. I was considering early horse but the number of fused vertebrae is off. Was found south of Houston on the Brazos River.

Hello, We are absolutely new to the world of fossils hence any help with identifying this will be greatly appreciated. My son and I went looking for fossils on the Brazos river bed near Sugar Land, TX. We found the attached fossil. It looks like a claw or a tooth. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Sorry I did not take pictures next to a rule. The item is around 2 inches long. Thanks and looking forward to your replies sjohn

Hi everyone, Found this today while looking around the Brazos River West of Houston. At first I thought it was just petrified wood but it is definitely bone. Seems to be the right shape and taper for lower jaw but not sure. Seems to have two protrusions in what look like sockets but they don’t seem to me like teeth. They are not just stones wedged in either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! TIA

Is this from a Bison? It seems semi-mineralized. But from the depth in a washout that i found it in makes me really really curious. There is noticable waves in the bone structure

Found these teeth all within 50 yards of each other, they are all larger than the previous teeth I posted. Still horse or another animal?
-
These are throwing me for a loop. Especially the repetitive markings in the smaller one. Lower river Brazos, Texas. Thanks in advance
-
All 4 of these teeth were found within 100 yards of each other today. They all appear to be horse, but from different types of horses. Any thoughts?
-
Fossil or just lines on rock?
-
Is this a tooth? From what animal?
-
This piece appears to be some kind of bone, smooth on the bottom (bottom photo) but has lines on the other side (top photo)? Could this be turtle shell?
-
My boss has a collection of fossils picked out of the Brazos river, TX. Most of his are pet wood/plant but this one perked my interest.
-
Is this bone or coral? It is lighter in weight than other similar in size pieces found that were definitely bone.
-
Could this be a horse tooth? How old?
-
Found this on the lower Brazos while catfishing Saturday. Its overall size is throwing me off and making me think I might get to add a new name to my finds list. Thank in advance team.
