  1. Hello, I posted previously on a tooth found on a creek gravel bar in central Oklahoma that may be bison or cow. I did some additional looking around in the same area of the creek and downstream about a hundred yards and found the specimens in the attached photos. For reference I am also including a picture that shows where the horn and skull fragment were found (bottom of embankment, indicated by red arrow). I also found a rib bone piece here but am not including any pictures of that one as it was a pretty small piece. The tooth was found in a gravel bar in the stream at the same location. The humerus (pretty sure that is a humerus?) was found mostly buried in stream mud about 50 feet downstream on the same side of the creek. I would be happy if anyone has any thoughts on what these bones originally belonged to. Sorry for the standard tape measure, I don't have a metric ruler at home. Thanks in advance for any ideas!
  2. Hello, I am brand new to The Fossil Forum, so I hope I am doing this all correctly! I found the tooth shown in the attached photos this summer on a gravel bed in a creek in central Oklahoma. I have gotten some feedback from a few folks with experience in bones and fossils locally, with suggestions for possibly bison, horse, antelope or camel, but no definitive answer yet. I am hoping that this forum can provide some additional feedback and maybe a more certain identification. Thank you very much in advance!

    Imprint of something?

    I visited a creek that connects to Lake Ontario, and I found this rock. The black area looks like some kind of imprint to me, and more specifically a flower or leaf - but I really have no idea. Maybe coral? I did find a beautiful rock with crystallized favosites coral there too. Does this look familiar to anyone?
  4. Found this in a dry riverbed downstream from a waterfall and next to an active stream. Near Mt. Baker in Whatcom County, Washington. Other plant fossils were in the area. Think it might be a partial fossil of a large palm frond or leaf, but I have no idea. If anyone can help identify I would appreciate it; it's really stumping me. Let me know if any additional information or pictures are needed. Thanks.

    New with possible tooth

    New to the site, I found this tooth like fossil in a creek bed in benewah county. It was mixed with smaller rocks of varying looks. Lots of interesting rocks. Curious of anyones thoughts! Thanks

    Help identifying

    Can someone tell me if this is a fossil? Or can tell me anything about it. It looks like some type of fish. The back was unusual so I added a photo

    Fossil, but of what?

    All I know of it is after I left it out to dry in a safe location to determine that it is a fossil that I found in a creek cutting through the wennonah formation of Monmouth county New Jersey. I reached out to a friend and as far as he got was that it is a phalanx of some sort like finger/toe bone? From what I recall until I can arrange an in person inspection of it. Any and all help in this mystery specimen is appreciated. The background size reference is in inches”

    West Virginia Mammal Teeth

    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?

    Found some stuff today

    I went fossil hunting out near the nearby creek today, since i had some free time. Here’s what i found: while i’m sure this first one is a concretion, i wanna know what yall think! Here’s the second one, which interested me way more- first one is 5cm, second one is 9 and a half centimeters: if you look closely- you can see weird markings on the second fossil that look almost like a tire track. Let me know what yall think that is.
  10. Last weekend I found a few fairly small pieces of fossil, and I am not entirely sure on their identifications, but I have guesses. Location: Mississippi creek. (I am unsure on how much to share location-wise, in regards to name of creek, etc.). This area is outside of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I thought the first one was a piece of wasp nest until I felt it. Some sort of coral? The second is perhaps also coral? The last one perhaps a crinoid stem? I do note there is a circular fossil next to it. The last one looks pretty distinctly like a shell impression. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated. I keep doubting myself when I think I've figured them out.

    Scapula ID

    Hello! I’m hoping you all can help me ID this scapula; it should be fairly easy for you all. I was creek hunting for native artifacts in northwestern Illinois, and I almost stepped on the end of this scapula, trying to stay on the edge of the bank. I found it buried deep inside the eroded hillside wall, so I know it wasn’t brought there via creek from another location. Only the “socket” was sticking out. It was 10-12 feet below the surface. I was hoping it was bison, but guessing it’s equine. The end could not be located. Once pulled from the bank and it dried out, it became extremely brittle and fragile. I’m thinking it might’ve been used as a hoe and the end broke off in use. Also, is there any way of dating such a thing—ie ideas on if or where I could go or whom I could talk to about it? Thanks so much for your information and insight!

    Rock with many fossils

    Hello, I was recently searching for arrow heads in my creek that goes through my residence in Medina county Ohio. While searching I found a small multi colored brown, black, and red rock with many holes and patterns. I picked it up and on further inspection I found the rock was actually covered in hundreds of fossils! The rock has multiple holes as well. If anyone has an idea of what this would be called or identified as much appreciated!

    Capybara tooth?

    I found this yesterday in a local creek, my first thought was capybara, any help? Thanks!
  14. Found these in a creek in south east Alabama over a year ago, I was looking at them and noticed these look a bit different from the normal sand tiger teeth, any ideas? Thanks!(sorry I see the pictures don't look great, I'm in a bit of a rush)

    Baby something? Turtle?

    Found in Moab, Utah in a creek or stream. It's hard to get pictures showing the true shape but this can't be just another rock.

    Spaghetti ball fossil

    I found this in a creek in the Ozarks in MO. Anyone know what it is? It’s about the size of the palm of my hand.

    What is it?

    My son found this in the creek near our home. Any idea what it is?
  18. I suspect this is a stromatolite (and not a stromatoporoid) after reading up on both, but seeing as I’ve never found either before, I wanted to put this past the experts. I do see some structures that could possibly be “pillars” but I’m just not convinced that’s what I’m looking at. Any opinions shared are very greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Finds from North Sulphur River

    Hello, everyone! I went hunting along the North Sulphur River yesterday (before today’s nasty weather), and I found some fossils and what I am almost positive is an artifact. Could someone please help with IDs, if possible? Pictures #1 and #2 are of the same bone; I found the circular striations in the 2nd picture particularly intriguing. #7 (the artifact) is broken at the base and is fairly thick at the point where it is broken.
  20. I found this item in a creek in central Texas. The creek is known for artifacts and cretaceous (austin chalk, ozan) material in the gravel bars. I don't hunt this creek much so I'm not too familiar with the finds it produces. I found this item on a gravel bar after heavy rains. I picked up this item because it has an unusual shape. I was hoping it was a tusk or horn piece but it was giving me petrified wood vibes. I've never found any tusk, horn, or petrified wood so I was open to the possibility that the item is just a suggestive piece of rock. Naturally I wrote it off as a rock and I decide to take a slice out of it with a small rock saw. I then wet sanded the slice with fine grain sandpaper. The material is very tacky, sort of sticky. I licked it and it really stuck to my tongue (ouch). The material also absorbs water very quickly. It's heavy, dense, and sounds like porcelain/ceramic tile when set down. It's not fragile. I took several picture using my phone and a small digital microscope. Any idea what this could be? Thanks in advance!

    Fossil?

    Hello All, My 8 year old son found these stones at Crooked Creek, Flippin, Arkansas, and he was curious to know whether it was fossil. Thank you.

    Summerville/Greens Mill Run side trip

    Better late than never right?! I'm finally getting around to sharing my finds from a recent trip up the east coast for work, with a few pitstops along the way! The first two images were from an all day hunt in a creek in Summerville, with Folly Beach Fossils! The third image are my spoils from a solo half a day in GMR... Right by elm street park, because the water was way too high to go further down stream from there, and I didn't have much time! What a great time finding a couple of new species and making a few more friends along the way! I cannot wait to get back up there and hunt again!!!

    Need help identifying

    Please help me identify this fossil for my daughter.
  25. I took a fossil finding guided tour last month and now I'm pretty much hooked! If someone could please help with identifying these. Found them a couple days ago sifting in a creek in central NJ.
