Hello everyone, I went to visit family this past week in Gilmer County, West Virginia and found these mammal teeth in a creek. They were found pretty close to each other, which makes me wonder if they were from the same animal. They appear to be old, but I don’t think they are completely mineralized. They remind me a lot of the bison teeth I find down in Peace River, FL, but this is weird considering there are no cow or buffalo farms very close to the area I found these (that I know of). Anyone have any idea what these are, why they’re here, and how old they could be?

Hi all, my good friend @Nautiloidand I have been doing some collecting at a site in the Trenton Group recently and we have been finding what we believe to be Gravicalymene magnotuberculata. The matrix is soft and quite easy to prep, which was a nice surprise. This one was found by my father @Penguin Fiasco Here it was before preparation Bonus headless Triarthrus Beckie appears! All done, now time to clean off the abrasive powder! Here it is after preparation, I am pretty happy with the result. Please excuse the

Hi all, about 2 weeks ago during my spring break my father and I made the 6 hour trip up to Buffalo NY to collect at Penn Dixie. Our main focus is to bring back blocks for our weathering pile in the back yard, so we worked from around 11am to 5pm moving chunks and transporting them to the car. Here is a photo of me driving a wedge into the huge row of rock we were working on, it was pinned and took probably 30 min and a lot of thinking to break it free. Ill attach photos of some finds from the day below. Disarticulated Eldredgeops and a

Wondering if the experts wouldn't mind weighing in on an ID for these. They were found half-submerged in a spring creek near an old cow pasture and they seem to be in at least the beginning stages of mineralization. They don't quite pass the burn test though I've heard that's not necessarily definitive, and they're quite rock-like - the pieces I used for the test make a nice clink when dropped on cement. My question is mostly whether or not, in these conditions, the process of mineralization could occur in 100 years or less (which is about the length of time the land had been used as pasture),

Hello everyone. I am new to the site.I was hoping for some help identifying a humerus bone I found on our ranch located in south west ND. I was searching for points along the Cannonball River that runs through our property in a low water crossing. I seen the bone barely exposed at the water line. The bone was roughly 15 ft below the top of the river bank. We have teepee rings nearby and I have found multiple artifacts in this location. I have found many bones but never any at this depth under the soil. Any help would be appreciated. I am thinking its a left bison humerus but was hoping for som

Last June 2018 I stumbled upon the skeleton of a bovid in a creek that was quite old considering it was down 5 feet or so in a bank. I thought it was a cow. I collected the bones that had fallen and a couple that easily came out without any real digging. I brought them home and washed them up and most have been sitting out on my patio under a bit of cover. Last Wednesday night I went to the monthly Dallas Paleontological Society meeting. While there I bought a book on cow and bison fossils. This past Saturday I had a busy morning and afternoon and got home a little after 3:00. I

Fossils found in various places in Bancroft idaho. What do they belong to?

None of these were necessarily taken from the exact same location. https://imgur.com/a/YlLr3Os -
Brought my kids to explore a local creek. Found this along the banks. It's a bone. I'm just unsure from what and the approximate dating. Approximately 2.5 inches. Thank you in advance!

Hello all, I am a newer fossil hunter in the Buffalo, New York area. I am doing some personal research of the eurypterid in New York. Obviously with the eurypterid being the fossil of New York it does have high density in New York, more so upstate, but I am looking for some in the direct Buffalo area. I've read a few studies done by local paleontologists and geologists of it being found in the Lang's fossil quarry, Pittsford, as close as Holland, and just over the border in Fort Erie. With that said I think it's easy to then assume it's here in Buffalo, but don't know where to sear

This tooth was found in a creek in Washington county, MO. Can someone verify if this is a buffalo or cow tooth.

Hey everyone, Staying on some private property with a river in central Colorado. While walking the creeks looking for anything of interest, I came across this. I am not familiar with the horned creatures! Is this bull? Buffalo? Bison? Antiquus? I don’t know, any information would be much appreciated. My wife wanted to get a picture and then looked a little peeved when I said, “Why? I’m taking it home.” Lol Sorry for the pics, don’t have anything to scale. Lemme know what you think. I can post better pics tomorrow. i thought it was driftwood at firs

Can you please help me ID the fossil rock in the picture? Also would like to know anything about it you can share. I found it on the shore of Lake Ontario this afternoon. Thanks in advance!

Found approximately 5" below current soil level in central Kansas. Closest item to tooth was thumb scraper which was about 2" in length. Buffalo? Horse?

Hello, I found this specimen on the banks of the Buffalo River in NW Arkansas. I have been puzzling over this for the past week and have decided to ask the experts here to see if anyone knows what this possibly could be. It is hard as a rock and heavy.

Not sure what I have. Any info would be appreciated. Out of Oklahoma.

I was thinking I could keep a running update on my bison prep, discoveries in learning, general happenings. . . Maybe a bit like Ralph’s aka Nimravis’ “Sometimes You Have to Whack It”, only my bison prep style if it isn’t too dull and boring. A recap. I found an almost complete, articulated bison with the skull in January 2019. I have collected the majority of it. I’m working on processing stuff still and prepping it. I’m totally new to vertebrate paleontology type stuff. So there is a big learning curve. I still have bits sitting in bags or small plastic box

Has this bone been around long enough to be a fossil? Found Nemaha River valley. Who's hand was this in so long ago?

A former 4-Her of mine found this and knew I liked fossils so he sent it my way. It's a fairly large partial skull. From what I have read on here, I imagine it is bison bison as opposed to bison antiquus. The tips of the horns are 22 inches apart and if you tie a string between the tips it is exactly 2 inches above the skull. It isn't complete like a lot of the others they have found, but I really like it. The strange thing I am curious about is the hole in the forehead. He thought it might be a bullet hole, but I would think it would have done more damage than just

I got this from a friend about 2 months back. Lately the black coating on it has been flaking off. I am not sure what it is and was curious if I should remove it or do I need to stabilize it with something?

Any known sites near Davenport Iowa or Buffalo Iowa?

I work for an ecological restoration company and I work in rivers all the time. I find weird things from time to time, but I am stumped. Please help I know it’s a “petrified tooth” but I don’t know what it is from. Any ideas?

It's taken me a while to post this, but my boyfriend and I took another trip to Penn Dixie on the Fourth of July! For those who have been to Penn Dixie I'm sure you know it's impossible even for a total newbie to leave empty handed. I didn't get anything super amazing like some of the full trilos th at I've seen other people post, but I did get what I went in hoping to find - gastropods!!! I THOUGHT that I found 2 - the large one and the good spiral one. But when I started washing the mud off them last night I discovered two others on the other side of some chunks that we had kept for their tr

Hey everyone, This past weekend I was out in Buffalo, NY for my bachelor weekend. My brother planned a fun fishing/hiking/fossil weekend at an air b&b on Lake Erie in wanakah. We had the house from May 30th to June 3rd. Buffalo is like my Mecca. I need to go there at least once a year and get back to my roots where I first starting being fossil crazy. I did some form of fossil hunting every day. I came out to buffalo early and stayed late to get extra time in! One major highlight from the weekend would be 3 pygidiums and a cephalon w/ 3 body segments of the rare pseudodechenell

I live in upstate New York in a small town called Fabius southeast of Syracuse. My son found this tooth in the woods behind our house in a seasonal stream bed. We are not sure if it is bison tooth or cow tooth or even if it is old ie....did not pass the burn test. Thankyou so much for any info.
