My cousin found some possible fossils while visiting a friend's ranch in Utah years ago (he has no idea where they were). While he was there him and his friend found "dinosaur bones" that were embedded in rock (he said he broke one in half trying to get it free). Since he heard I was getting into fossils he gave me a couple of the smaller ones. I don't think they're bones but wondered if they might be some sort of trace fossil (burrow?). Let me know what you think.

Hello! I'm new to the forum- this is my first post. Apologies if I make any mistakes here! My mother has had this dinosaur egg(?) in her possession ever since she was a child- it was gifted to her by her father after he had found it at the side of the road while driving. I'm not sure where specifically it's from or even if it's biological in nature at all. ....Now, I've wanted to finally conclude if this is truly a dinosaur egg (or egg of any other organism) or an interesting geologic formation. Dinosaur or not, it's a beloved object and I'd like to find out it's true identity!

Hi everyone! I acquired this vertebrae a little while ago. I'm reasonably certain it's dinosaur and and would greatly appreciate some help narrowing down the ID. It's from the Hell Creek Formation of Powder River County, Montana. The piece is 5 cm tall, 4.7 cm wide, and 2.9 cm long. The centrums are 4.2 x 3.6 cm and 4.4 x 3.7 cm. The bone is really spongy which is best seen in pic 2, the pores are all 1 to 2 mm so I'm kinda leaning toward Theropod (if that has nothing to do with a Theropod ID please correct me). So what do you all think? Any feedback is greatly app

Hi everyone! I came across this little piece as I was sorting through some of the anthill matrix I brought back from Wyoming's Lance formation. When I first found it, I must not have recognized it as a partial claw as it ended up alongside other odds and ends (fragments of bone, gar scales & other misc. fossils) at the bottom of a pill bottle where I had deposited all of my pickings. This week, however, I emptied that pill bottle to see what was inside in order to organize all the micros I found from this locality (which will get its own post eventually). It's evident to me that this is a

Hi everyone! Got a nice little mystery bone from the Kem Kem here. I think it's a Coracoid bone but I'm not sure from what. I'm leaning Crocodyliform only because that seems to be the most common thing for these random mystery bones but I don't know for sure so I figured I'd seek a second opinion in case it might be something else like a fish bone. It measures 7 cm (2.76 inches). Any feedback is appreciated as always!

Hi everyone! I'm fairly certain there's no funny business on this one, but I don't know what type of critter it could be since I'm fairly certain 99.9% of Moroccan claw pics online are of fakes and the remaining 1% are misidentified. 37.5 mm long 12 mm tall 8 mm wide What do you all think? Dinosaur? Croc? Turtle? Pterosaur? Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always!

Hi everyone! I've gotten ahold of some kem kem phalanges and while I think most are Theropod I still could really use a second opinion to make sure (and potentially a further id like Spinosaur). I say most because while I'm fairly certain the first three are Theropod the last one looks off to me. Kinda reminding me mammal phalanges from deer or something I've seen from Florida. Any insight is greatly appreciated as always!

Hi everyone! I'm helping a friend go through a large amount of Cretaceous Moroccan stuff and came across this piece. It measures 6.3 x 6.5 x 4.33 inches (16 x 16.5 x 11 cm). I know it's the process of a huge vertebrae, but I'm not entirely sure from what. I'm thinking sauropod but I was hoping to get a second opinion. Any feedback is appreciated as always!

Hi everyone, Just got these, I think I see blood groves but you never know. So I'm here for a second opinion. Morocco, Cretaceous, Kem Kem beds Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I had found this vertebra in the box of matrix I'd gotten for my birthday. I think that it might be either a crocodile or a Pachycephalosaurus caudal vertebra, I was hoping that you guys might be able to identify it. It was found in the Lance formation of Weston County, Wyoming. Here are the pictures. Scale is in millimeters. Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone! I'm helping a buddy go through and identify a ton of Moroccan stuff he acquired several years ago. There were two large ribs, the first is 10 inches (straight line) an the main part is .75 inches wide. the second is 5.5 inches (straight line) and 1.25 inches wide. I'm fairly certain these are Dinosaur or crocodile, leaning toward dinosaur but I'm not certain which type. Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always!

This was acquired at a swap meet on California central coast. I'm an avid rock hound, it came with a small collection of sagenite purchased 20 plus years ago. I would really appreciate anyone taking time to give an opinion, guess, thought on its identity.

Is this claw athentic?
Big Mac boi posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello I recently found this claw labeled as Rugops primus finger. It also says it is a composite piece. I was wondering if the claw itself is authentic, without restoration. Location: listed as Kem Kem, near Taouz, Morocco. -
Hello guys, I was rock climbing and hiking this last weekend and found this egg. It was partially buried. What caught my attention was the shape and weight. It looks very very light for a normal rock.

I found this on the beach in Englewood Florida one year. I have always wondered what it was. I just enjoy the hunt for sharks teeth and other fossils. It's very calming for me I've finally decided to learn about my collection. This is my most curious piece. This forum is so cool. Wish I would have looked for y'all a long time ago. I hope the pictures are done correctly and do it justice. Maybe it's just a rock but I love it.

Recently I took a trip up to central New Jersey in the US with my sister for our 2nd trip fossil hunting; at a place called “big brook preserve”. As I was sifting through looking at some fossils that I could identify such as shark teeth and fossilized poop with my very basic studying from the Internet and stuff I’ve seen on tv. She calls me over at something she had found while sifting through the dirt in the brook. Thinking that I’d be able to identify it for her I was stumped. it looks like it has characteristics of a fossil from what I think but with my limited knowledge and understanding I

hello, my name is Simon and I am a big Dino fan like everyone here. I hope to comply with all the rules and ask for a short info if something should not fit. I ask for help to identify some fossils in the photos. I am aware that not all bones can be determined, but I would be very happy if at least a few could be identified. the fossils were found in the Hell Creek Formation of Harding County, SD. I hope to have taken good photos - if you have any questions please ask. many thanks in advance for your help :) best regards Simon

Found this online! Might be a baby dinosaur skull with teeth and an eye but don’t know
Hawk2 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello there! I stumbled across this online, what looks to be a petrified baby dinosaur skull fossil. It looks like it has a row of teeth, an eye and eye sockets! My question is if it actually is a dinosaur or if it’s nothing but a rock. -
Hey guys, I saw this listed as a fossil rock but I feel like it could be a skull, it has the shape of a skull and crystals where it’s eyes would have been. What do you guys think? It’s found in kerrville, Texas.
