    Help with Fossil ID

    Hi All, I'm well out of my wheelhouse with these, both in anatomy and any type of ID. These came out of a collection, and I unfortunately have no information on their origin. Each photo set show what was found in two separate specimen containers (old prescription pill bottles). Contents of each bottle seem to be associated. Hoping for an ID, or at least a general direction. Someone may even recognize the formation based on the coloring of contents of the first container. Thanks in advance! Container 1 - Those appear to be claws or talons of some sort? Tried comparing to various small animals, saw some similarities, but nothing definitive. The white coloring is giving me mid-west vibes?
  4. Please help me ID this fossil I found in my backyard in Tarrant County, Texas. I was digging a new flower bed. It was found 6-8" deep. It's 1.5 inches long. Grateful for any help you can give me in ID'ing it!

    Found object

    I don't know how to use this site so I hope I'm doing this right. I found this flattened and petrified piece on the Missouri River in South Dakota. I'm so curious to know what it might be.

    Wood or bill/ beak/nail?

    Hello! Found in NW Alabama, Franklin county, near creek. Not sure if these are fossils, but there is a perfect hole near wide edge of the larger "half". Yes, the photos are of 2 peices that appear similar/same, as with the upper and lower bills/beaks of birds..Red Color from lighter can b seen in photos. Could it/they be from Native American adornment, or even much further back in time?? thanks! Chris
  8. Hello - This is my first post here. When I first saw this, I immediately thought it might be a tooth or some sort but dismissed it as a rock once it dried. I took a closer look the other day and noticed it did have spongy bone like texture at the ridges, and under magnification I noticed more bone like characteristics. I can't find anything like this shape anywhere. None of the teeth I've seen have roots like this, and there aren't any claws that have such a big bulbous end. Although it looks like a tooth, I don't see any straight lines/enamel like textures. This was found at a beach in Santa Cruz, Ca. This measures 4" long x 3" wide and 2" thick. It is very symmetrical. The pics represent this fossil both wet and dry to see various details. Any assistance is very much appreciated. THANK YOU!

    ID Help

    Hello, I'm new here,. I dug this up about 20 years ago while digging for Native American artifacts near Waco TX but have never found out what it was. ID help please. Thank you
  10. Hello everyone. May I ask if this foot claw is real? Is its blood groove carved? Thank you for your opinion. mmexport1708851998534.mp4

    Raptor Claw

    Peace River find. I think it is a Raptor claw. Would appreciate any other possibilities. Some questions: Can we tell left or right foot ? Which digit (Obviously not hooked)? What Raptor? and finally.. Is it modern? @Auspex
  12. Good morning! Asking for help identifying 3 fossils (two on one rock) found in riverbed in Val Verde county near Del Rio, Texas. The first 4 images are of one rock with two features. The shell imprint might be a Pecten Texana bivalve (from online fossil ID site)? The other feature might be some form of sponge like the family Clionaida?? Both features are covered with fine crystals giving a lovely glitter - any thoughts on how/why that process happened? Final three images I think are a random rock, but the shape does mimic an image online of a vertebrate toe-claw of some sort, so curious about this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
  13. I bought a dinosaur claw from Niger. Locality is always a problem, but I am hoping to get an general label on this claw. So far I got two suggestions from my own network: it looks like a Sauropod claw or Iguanodontian. Most sauropod claws in my collection are 'flatter' (vertical) and more oval. This claw more round and flat (horizontal). The claw is 12 cm (long) and 5 cm (high). Hope to get some more insights on this nice claw. Thanks!

    Sauropod claw prep

    Just purchased this Sauropod ungual/claw from Niger, haven't received it yet though. I want to prep it a bit to make it look a little better, for instance some restoration to the tip. Also I notice the black/darker patches on the bone which I see a lot on claws from Niger. Are these remnants of bone or is this matrix?
  15. Hello, I saw this Spinosaurus claw for sale today and it looked "okay" to me . Clean , no matrix , good shape . But the photos are a bit weird : no near photos, photos just from two sides (maybe to hide restorations) . Whats your opinion on it ? It was found in the Kemkem beds, morocco.
  16. I saw this Allosaurus claw for sale today . I dont know how a real Allosaurus claw looks like , so I wanted to ask If its real or fake . It shows some bone texture at the back , but it looks a bit weird (to me). It was found in Wyoming, where exactly wasnt said . Its from the jurassic period . 11 cm in length .
  17. I saw this dinosaur finger for sale today. Its labeled as Spinosaurus finger but it looks more like Abelisaurus or Deltadromeus . Is it even real or from the same dinosaur ? Whats your opinion about it ? Found in: Kemkem beds, morocco From the upper cretaceous
  18. Found in Garfield Montana Unsure if this is a foot or hand claw even after reading Troodons guide multiple times. I want to know if it's foot or hand What digit If it's a Dromaeosaur Thank you!
  19. Good Evening Everyone, After reviewing the two topics I saw on spinosaurus claws I still find myself questioning my own identification of these two spinosaurus claws. I was wondering if any of you more experienced forum goers could give these a look and help me verify if they are real? Thank you for any support
  20. Hi everyone! Looking for help in ID-ing a found object from the beach. We are absolutely bewildered as to what this is! details: -Found 1 hour north of Sydney, Australia on the beach -Heavy, fossilised object with very distinct “ribbon” like formation patter on end -texture is reminiscent of a claw or tusk -plaque-like material in crevices (it is not sand)
  21. Hi everyone! I have my eye on a Kem Kem spino claw and was hoping for a second opinion on the potential presence of shenanigans. The top looks great, but the bottom has a pretty clear difference in coloration between the tip area and the back. Although that doesn't seem to go beyond the bottom so it might just be a fluke in the mineralization or just differing levels of exposure. So what do you all think? Any insight is appreciated as always!
  22. Hi folks First post - absolute newbie to the subject, so please go easy on me (especially as what I propose doing may well be seen as vandalism by some!). I have a dinosaur obsessed partner (Velociraptors in particular) and I'd like to get her a unique gift. So I was thinking of purchasing as nice a tooth or claw as I can get my hands on and somehow attach it to a necklace. I guess the easiest way to do this would be to drill a small hole through it, but how viable is this in reality? I appreciate this is probably a 'depends on the example in question' question, but how likely am I to reduce a lovely piece of history into a crumbled mess? Are these typically quite solid materials? Would their be a preferred material between a tooth or claw? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Scott

    Is this a theropod claw?

    Found in the Horse Shoe Canyon formation (Alberta) with several bones including theropod teeth. It has the right shape and size to be a claw. Any ideas? About 1 inch long

    Shark teeth?

    Hi, we have discovered the items in the image attached and wondered if these are sharks teeth? location Mexico Carribean coast thank you!
  25. I posted a topic in the prep subforum, but I guess it's also a general question. I notice that a lot of dinosaur claws from Niger have raised patches of black material on them and I'm wondering what this is. Is it hard rock/matrix attached to the bone or are they remnants of the original bone. Sometimes they seem to have some bone texture, other times they are very rough and rugose. Here are a few photos of what I mean. @LordTrilobite@jpc
