    Interesting piece of tusk

    I found this piece of tusk on the Brazos River in southeast Texas. I’m not seeing the typical schreger lines that determine if it’s mammoth vs mastodon. This could be Pleistocene or Miocene . The coaster is 4 inch diameter.
  2. I found this bone/antler the other day under Whiskey Bridge near College Station, Texas. The area is known for Eocene marine fossils, but also things like mammoth, horse, and deer skeletal remains. The area has tons of modern deer too. I am reasonably confident that this piece is bone or antler, but beyond that I'm clueless. I can't tell if this is modern or 40,000 years old, and I can't tell what animal it may have come from. I can say that it is 8 grams, slightly curved, and the sides are somewhat flattened. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. For further context, this was found on the bank of the Brazos river, the area had near record rain this summer when it rained for nearly a month straight. The water has finally receded enough for people to go down to the banks. I believe animals may be able to get down here too, though the only access point for this specific area for something like a deer is from the highway, the river banks are lined by cliffs about 10-20 feet tall. This piece may have washed down from further upstream.

    Atlas vertebra

    Are there enough diagnostic features left on this atlas vert to determine an identification? I found it on the Brazos River in SE. Texas Pleistocene gravels

    A beast of a tooth

    This tooth is huge. It dwarfs a camelops tooth that I have previously found. Brazos River, southeast Texas.

    mammal vert id

    I find lots of verts. Most are horse, cow, deer. Some more mineralized than others. I don't bother posting most of them. This one seems different, but I can't describe why I think it's different. Just a gut feeling. Any thoughts? Found on the Brazos River, Texas, pleistocene.

    Sloth tooth?

    Hello all! The Brazos has finally started coming down and I was able to get out for a short trip today. I think this is a sloth tooth, but I’m looking for confirmation from the experts. The picture of a paramylodon mandible I’m comparing to is from Kocsis’ Vertebrate Fossils: A Neophyte’s Guide. @Harry Pristis @fossilus @Lorne Ledger

    Texas Camel/Llama Teeth?

    Like I said in my last post in this section of the forum about a turtle nuchal element, I've spent some time hunting the Colorado River here in southeastern Texas since my usual go-to spots on the Brazos have been completely submerged for months from all the rain we've been getting this summer. Fortunately, it's paid off with some unusual finds that, if my hunches are correct, aren't anything like what I normally find. These two teeth in particular were found within inches of each other close to the water's edge, however, I don't think they're associated based on the difference in preservation and enamel coloration. My initial guess was bison for the tooth still lodged in a fragment of jawbone, and deer for the other. It wasn't until I started searching for comparison images in Hulbert's excellent Fossil Vertebrates of Florida and on the forum that I realized I was probably wrong. The isolated tooth is (as far as I can tell) much too large to be deer, and the tooth in the jawbone, while superficially resembling bison teeth in the raised enamel on its occlusal surface, is shaped differently from the more common bison teeth that I've gotten ahold of in the past. So my current tentative ID is camelid, either camel or llama. If I'm right, I'd be incredibly excited - I've always been more interested in the more bizarre megafauna that used to live in Texas during the last ice age. I'd be grateful if anyone can be of any help in either confirming or providing new IDs for these two. * The length of the occlusal surface for the second tooth is 2.10 cm.

    Turtle Nuchal Bone

    Despite how common they seem to be in places like Florida's Pleistocene deposits, I've never been able to find a complete turtle nuchal bone here in Texas's similarly aged formations until just this last week. Unlike almost all of my other Pleistocene finds which have come from the stretch of the Brazos River closest to Houston, this one is from the adjacent and much smaller Colorado River. Since the Brazos has been high all summer due to the extreme amounts of rain we've gotten this year I decided to try out some nearby locales and they did not disappoint. I've got a couple more posts to make in the ID section of the forum after this one since there's a good amount of stuff I can't seem to attach any solid names to, so bear with me. I've been referencing some of the excellent photos provided by @Harry Pristis the last time I made a post like this in this thread here: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/106885-turtle-nuchal-bone/ Fortunately, this time the bone in question is more than just 50% complete, so a species or genus ID should be easier to achieve. Hopefully some of the forum's resident experts on Pleistocene material from the southern US can be of some help in identifying which particular turtle this is: @Shellseeker @garyc @darrow

    Mammoth Plate Shard?

    From the album: Brazos River Finds--August 2021

    A small shard that did not look or feel like a typical rock. It seemed to have lines similar to those I've seen on mammoth tooth plate fragments.
