Costa Rican Copal "B" (Sandstone Deposits, Indeterminate Age [~2.58 Ma-Recent])
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
6.4g specimen measuring 40x25x14mm (see related entry). This is incredibly-rare material, with next to no information available on it; this copal originates from sandstone deposits and can be found both in-situ and ex-situ. This particular specimen was recovered from a farmer's field in rural Costa Rica many years ago, and is part of a small lot of similar material; unfortunately, the specific location of the deposit this specimen came from is unknown. This material is noticeably harder than Colombian copal, but still reacts to acetone; the exterior of this piece has a slight layer of sandstone matrix, and the clarity is variable throughout the piece.© Kaegen Lau

My 7 year daughter found this fossil in a river in Costa Rica. I am not sure if it is old. I think is a Bovidae tooth. Could you help me with identification? Thanks!!

I found this fossil on our property in Puriscal, Costa Rica. I found it on the ground after moving some dirt from the berm next to a ditch. This ditch was dug by hand for us several years ago. The previous owner backhoed this area to flatten it. but couldn't go any farther due to the enormous rock. I am posting here because I want opinions if this is petrified wood, or bone. It measures about 10cm long, diameter about 8cm. There is a crystal formation on one end.

Was recently in Costa Rica and found these on the beach. Have found many black sharks teeth in the Carolinas but wasn’t sure if these were also? Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Was on holiday in costa rica 6 months ago and found this on the beach at the end of a small estuary. I guess it washed down to the beach, I'm pretty sure it's no aquatic animal tooth and I'm not even sure if it's a tooth. My only guess was crocodile but not even sure on that theres no look of enamel. Possibly a bit of bone that's been weathered into this shape. Any ideas? Struggling to add pictures because of the size limits The piece is around 2.5 inches long 1.25 inches wide

Hey everyone, this is is my first post, and I am not a fossil expert by any means. Yesterday I found this bone on the beach, and I'd like to find out what it is. I am on the Southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
