It has been a while since I’ve needed this many things ID’d! So found something I’m pretty sure is a mammoth carpal or tarsal bone (Or a toe? I really don’t know), a piece of… coral, maybe? And 2 limb bones. 1) Mammoth carpal/tarsal or toe - measures 6”x3.5”x2.5” or 150mmx90mmx63mm A video to show it better is at the end. Coral: Limb 1 - measures 6.5”x1” or 160mmx27mm Limb 2 - 4.2”x1.1” or 106mmx28mm @Shellseeker @digit @Harry Pristis @Brandy Cole thanks in advance! FullSizeRender.MOV

Good evening, This is my first post on this forum and I apologize if I have not followed the appropriate etiquette. Attached are images of fossils collected at Lake Travis in Austin Texas. The rock type should be cretaceous. These were collected from and around crumbling limestone near the lake's edge. Often the sponges/spheres were found sticking out of the limestone walls, other times they were found on the ground scattered amidst large bivalves and gastropods. The same can be said for the long coral type fossils also pictured. Identification is requested and I would appreciate the help of anyone who has familiarity with fossils of this type. Thank you everyone for your time and expertise.

I was able to stop by Greens Mill Run in Greenville, NC once again. Only for about an hour, was able to pick up some more fossils including larger belemnites than I found previously. Less shark teeth though, but still mostly consisted of goblin shark teeth.

Trochocyathus sp., Travis Co. Campanian, Cretaceous Oct, 2022 A gravel find. The preservation seems a little bit off for the Ozan, but Trochocyathus is found in the Ozan of North Texas. -
check out these 2 coral fossils I found in the creek today
matthew textor posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone this is matt again takea look at these cool corals I found in the creek today here are some photos of them -
I have no information about the location. Is this a sponge or is it a worm colony? Modern or fossil? It has a waxy texture to it, I originally thought it was plastic. Thank you!

Hello, This is my first post here on the forums. Please be gentle So I found this piece when I was out searching for coral (Iowa). I haven’t been able to figure out what I’m looking at. It looks to me like a cluster of fossils. I’m happy to answer any questions to help solve this mystery. Any insight would be great! Thanks!

A friend of mine found this fossil on South Point of Thunder Bay near Alpena, Michigan. The fossils here are from the Devonian Period. My best guess is that it's syringopora. Any identification help is appreciated. Thanks!

New member here. I have aquired a few fossils over the years that I need help with. This is the first one. I found it while digging in a yard in Tuscola County, Michigan. It is 3cm high and 2 1/2cm. Two sides are 1cm thick. The other two sides are 1/2cm thick. There's a chip in it that exposes the white portion.

Found these in a limestone formation near Bocairent, Spain. From some quick research it seems to me like these might be from the upper devonian, and some look like nautiloids? One of them looks like a coral. Perhaps crinoid also? Would love some help on IDing these if anyone has any ideas!

Hey everyone, I've been trying to plan a little trip for me and my family to go on a little fossil hunt. I live in Bartlesville Oklahoma and I have several nice places I can go to find fossils all over. Mainly mississippian and Pennsylvanian. I'm looking for areas within an hour or so drive from where I live. I'm aware of the pliestocene finds in the arkansas river in tulsa area. I'd love for someone to send me maps or geologic surveys showing what areas in the topography, and other recomendations. Places I've been to worth noting: Kaw Lake spillway, Ponca City (good shells everywhere) Bartlesville Mound (excellent source of Chrinoids and some bits of coral) Hudson lake (Bartlesville water source, 1- chrinoid calyx found, tons of bivalves and other shells) Turkey Creek, Bartlesville (uncountable amounts of horn coral)

I found this buried in the water in Joshua’s Creek, Oakville. This giant rock containing many coral fossils and a couple of Orthocone fossils also. I’m certain the fossils are Ordovician in age. Measurements are 30cm in length and 19cm in width. Can anyone help with identifying the Orthocones and Corals down to species pls? This is my biggest find yet, so excited to hear everyone’s opinions!

My husband and I like to go on walks along the wooded dirt trails behind our home. Last winter, we stumbled upon a particular stretch of path. It was constructed using refractory bricks smack dab in the middle of the woods. It wasn’t until recently when we decided to revisit the area. One does not simply stumble upon an old brick path in the middle of the woods. It had to have once led somewhere. We did, in fact, find an old stone well nearby. Across from the well, there’s the foundation of a house that’s nothing but rubble. I also found an A&W Root Beer can amongst the rubble. It was the 1968 to 1995 A&W logo. Most of the bricks were branded, but I could hardly make out the wording. The name Louis was clear as day on quite a few of the smaller fragments, but the more intact bricks had lettering that was harder to read. I managed to find a single brick that wasn’t so weathered. I knelt down to read what was branded on it, but this little coral fragment caught my attention. It was wedged between the bricks in the center of the path, almost as if it were placed there intentionally. I don’t see how else it could have gotten there. After further inspection, the coral (a honeycomb coral) appears to be fused to an unidentifiable species of mollusk. Fossilized oysters and clams are common finds in my area, but this is the first fossilized coral I’ve found. FullSizeRender.MOV

Normally, my hunting season starts in October, and if not then, certainly by November 1st. I normally try to hunt 2-3 times a week, so 30 outings in a 3 month period. In the last 3 months, I have had hunted 6 times. Today was my 7th. This was a very isolated location. Half the outings to this location, I go alone because I love the solitude in nature. I was probing for new and productive spots, and the 1st sieve yielded an Equus Tooth, 8 or 10 small shark teeth, a gator tooth.. Attempting to load a 3rd shovel full, I broke the wooden handled shovel. Large lower hemi, llama incisor, more small teeth and an odd shaped bone in the 2nd (and last) sieve of the day. It might be an earbone, and I have seen a lot of them, closest with a few similar features in this thread. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/125703-hunting-florida-interesting-finds/ WHATTODO, whattodo... 75 minutes of hard paddling back to my car. Decided to explore for new places. I knew that there was a shell layer close.. I always dream about ageing this layer, and infrequently we find Makos or land mammal close by.... This was my 1st discovery. Recent rains had slpit the mud layer where these pectens decided to reside. Above the mud was a shell layer, a coral caught my eye. I love these small self contained ones.! Some sort of crystallization going on here. Then a frag of mammal tooth?? Some other shells, corals, and a Whale vert (where did that come from?) 1st time back in an area after the rains, can be exciting... Jack
