Found this in a ravine while searching for anything on a hike. Live on an elevated Peninsula… most likely was sea pinnacle years ago. I wonder if this is not as aged as I would like to think…

Hey all, new here so sorry if this isn’t the way to do this…is anyone able to help identify what animal this may have come from. It was found on a small portion of beach below a cliff with a lot of erosion in WNY south of Buffalo. Not sure if it came from soil or lake…either way it seems on the heavier side and I’m thinking it might be a phalange from a deer figured I’d see if anyone could help confirm or come up with a different ID

I got this from a fossil pack that says it’s from Florida. I think it may be some kind of deer leg bone but I’m probably wrong. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Is this part of a deer or is it possible it is from some kind of dinasour??

Found this little I belive incisor. If I had to guess I'd say deer but I could be wrong. Haha. I looked at so many different pictures trying to figure it out but i just cant. Hopefully the pictures are ok. Thanks again!

Hi everyone! I think this is a white tail deer tibia but the proximal end looks off to me. Maybe it's just the pictures I was comparing it to. It measures 6 inches (about 15 cm). Any feedback is appreciated as always!

My son found this tooth while we explored the Peace River. @Shellseeker thinks Cervidae. Sorry for the use of a quarter for sizing up the tooth. It was all I had when we finished the hunt and my son took the tooth.

Had a pretty good day on the Peace River, FL yesterday. Wanted to get one more hunt in before the temps dropped to the point it was just too cold to stand in the river all day even with a wetsuit. Find included deer teeth, camel/llama premolar, peccary tooth crown, gator teeth and the usual assorted shark teeth. I also came up with what I believe is the hoof core pictured below. After going through numerous photos on line and on the Forum I thought it was too big tube deer and too small to be bison, the shape didn't fit for horse. That left me with camelid as a possibility. I would greatly appreciate opinions on whether camelid hoof core is a good ID. Thanks! Specimen measures 44mm long x 41mm wide x 21mm high -

Found a mineralized skull fragment with broken horn bases in southeast Texas. Mostly pleistocene fossils here. The horns seem fairly close-set, which I wouldn't expect with bison. But they're fairly wide and thick, so I was leaning away from things like deer or antelope. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. --Brandy

Had a great day of fossil hunting this weekend with @Lorne Ledger. Got everything washed up, and now it's time to try to identify! I found this smaller, fairly complete bone in Southeast Texas. Mostly Pleistocene fossils here. It's confusing to me because one face reminds me of a deer astragalus, but a few other features don't quite seem to match. Since it seems to have several attachment points I considered it might also be a phalanx from something. Any ideas would be welcome to point me in the right direction. Thanks, Brandy @Lorne Ledger @Harry Pristis @JohnJ @garyc

I checked the river yesterday for a short time and came across a lot of chunkosaurus, but I'm pretty sure this piece could be a small hoof core. If so, I'm not sure which species it may be. I felt like it was too rounded for deer but too small for equus. There is mostly Pleistocene in this gravel bed, but Miocene/Pliocene is possible due to older formation outcroppings up river. To me, this looks similar to a small hoof core that @garyc found and posted in an older thread that was ID'd as a possible miocene horse. But I'm always learning. Thanks for everyone's patience with all my posts. I've learned so much the past year from the forum. --Brandy

Hi guys, These are both from south Florida. I think either camel or deer but I can't tell which and they might even be something else. Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always.

Found in Northeastern Iowa. Approx. 12 x11 x5cm Weighs 1lb 13oz I found this a few years ago next to my back yard. Seems like it's time I finally find out what it actually is & I have no doubt that this is the right place for answers.

Hi I have two questions. Both are southeast Michigan finds. The first is a phallic fossil coral or something. Not sure what. The other is a deer bone with unusual growth on it. Cancer? Any help would be appreciated.

Found this bone in the Peace River, FL last week. I have been attempting to narrow down an id since then. I believe it is an Ungual Phalanx but have not been able to determine from what. It measures 35 mm long x 35 mm wide and 33 mm tall at the highest point. As such, it is larger than what I can find for deer or llama and smaller than than what I have found for Equus or bison. That has led me to an old post from @Shellseeker that resulted in a giant tortoise id for an ungual phalanx and makes me think this could be another. It was found in a spot that produced several tortoise leg spurs and large shell pieces on the same day. I am hopeful someone can provide an ID. Thanks.

Hi all, First of all, I am not a big fossil hunter, so please forgive me if this is a rookie mistake! This summer I started going for walks along creeks and rivers in central Ohio to get out of the house during all of this COVID-19 craziness! I usually try to look at my feet just in case I’ll stumble on a cool fossil or an arrowhead! So far, I haven’t found much! Tonight though, I noticed something odd in between two large rocks, and when I pulled it out, it was a tooth! The bottom feels and looks exactly like rock, and the top looks like enamel. The tooth is about the size of a dime. I’ve had some people online tell me it’s a modern deer and others say it is an ice age deer (both said Odocoileus virginianus), so I thought I would get additional opinions to try and get to the bottom of things! Thanks so much for your expertise, and apologies if the photos aren’t the best! I can try to take better ones in the morning when it isn’t dark out.

Ok gang, I think this bone is mostly complete and probably from someone's foot and am hoping someone can confirm?/narrow it down any further for me. Plio-Pleistocene? Florida. A little under 1 inch in length/approx 25mm. Many Thanks! Regards, Chris
