Found this a while back on a landsite I was wondering if its worth taking out of the rock or if its better to use it as a display piece. Along with if anyone has any idea of what it could be, I think its a whale ear-bone or a tortoise leg spur. It for sure would have that bone valley blue in any case.

HI! New member here on the Fossil Forum from Sydney, Australia. My son wanted to find some marine fossils a couple weeks ago, so we went to Ulludulla's Permian aged (kungurian) Gondwana fossil coast. I need ID on the poorly preserved largest fossil in the middle (ignore spiriferid brachiopod on top right). Note this fossil is part of the Wandrawandian Formation (Shoalhaven group), south of the Sydney basin, Ulludulla. Thank you in advance for any help you guys can provide because I'm no expert.

I found several fossil while hunting in Vigo County, Indiana, USA. I've identified many fossils I've found in this creek, but I've never found anything like this one. Any ideas out there as to what this is? It's definitely raised off the yellowish rock underneath. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Hi, i am new to fossil hunting, but totally addicted, and i was wondering if anyone can help me identify some fossils I found last night while I was shark tooth hunting in Brevard County, FL in the Indian River.

I had broke open a rock and found some other fossils but this one caught my eye the most. I am new to this identification thing. So anyone know if it’s a tooth or not?

This little shell is the size of a pencil eraser. It came out of a larger fossil shell I found. Best photos I could get so far.

I was going through some old fossils i found in my creek in Indiana when i was around 10. I found this, its very fragile and unfortunately 10 year old me didn't take care of it and its be broken further than it was from my poor excavation. From googling it, it looks identical to a Upper Left 1st Molar from Bison Antiquus i saw in an article from the western science center. I currently don't have access to take more pictures of the fossil but i have this one comparing it to the one from the article. Also if this is from a Bison Antiquus is this pretty common in Indiana and would it likely be productive to look for more ice age fossils in that same creek? Please let me know what your thoughts are on all this! Thanks everyone! This is a link to the western science center's article that has the Bison Antiquus tooth that I'm comparing mine too. https://www.westernsciencecenter.org/blog/2017/09/22/fossil-friday-bison-molar-2

I found this tooth in Nanjemoy, Md. Although very small, it has the exact shape as my much bigger Ododus teeth. Is this a baby Otodus tooth?

Hi!! I'm Kimi, just a girl who loves ALL things Nature. I'm especially drawn to rocks/ fossils, plants, and insects. Sometimes I think the rocks and fossils are even drawn to me! With gratitude and reverence, I can also say that most plants are dear Allies to me, and always show me great patience as I continue to learn and grow.🌱✨️ That being said, Nature continuously offers us new opportunities to learn and grow, no matter where we are on our journey. Although my son will tell you this about me, "she always THINKS she found a fossil", he is never convinced. Me, being a novice to fossils, would love to better my understanding of these ancient treasures. So, without further ado, here are the first four finds that I am curious about......🥁 I know the one is definitely an ocean type fossil, just not sure what, but are the other three just cool rocks? Idk.... I reside in Arizona now (Michigan native), which is where these were found, AZ. I find rocks all over the state, but the main places would be locally (around the valley), Superstition area, Tucson area, Stafford, Christopher Creek, Sedona, and Flagstaff. There are so many more that I have questions about too, but maybe by posting a few at a time, I can begin to discern for myself which ones have potential. At least that is my aspiration. Thanks friends! I appreciate you♡ #1 #2 #3 # 4

I have sometimes asked for ID assistance on what turned out to be rocks, so my expectations are tempered, but this looks super similar to dino bones I’ve worked on while volunteering at a local university. I took pictures of all sides. It has a sort of a palmwood look on one side but there are some curves and a point that remind me of a bone. I’ve never found anything like it. It broke into 2 pieces despite my gentle handling as I pulled it out of the bank along the Trinity River not far from DFW airport in Irving Texas, where the woodbine and Eagleford meet. I hope I have something cool (non-mollusk) for once. Haha! Not far from this, I found some neat pyrite nodules that I haven’t seen before.

I found my 2nd ever ammonite in what I’m calling the Grayson formation, based on Mancos app showing solid Grayson, though it’s fairly close to the paw paw. Tarrant County, TX. I’m not well educated on Main Street though, so maybe that fits in here somewhere? Either way, I’ve been to this spot numerous times, lots of cymatoceras nautiloids and I got my biggest turrilites from this spot too. I was thrilled to find a 2 pound, 5.5 inch ammonite. I am GUESSING it might be mortoniceras parinflatum? If anyone can confirm or correct, much appreciated! I used the Kennedy paper on Grayson/Mainstreet cephalopods. I can’t wait to clean it up with air abrasive/air scribe to see what the center looks like.

Hello! I won an auction online to buy this ammonite someone found in a storage unit, they thought it was a snail! Any ideas on identification? The storage unit is in the USA but that doesn’t help with where it came from..I’m sorry but hopefully you understand the lack of information available given the background of how I acquired it. Madagascar is my first guess but I am ignorant on this topic and only know what I know! I don’t have it in my possession just yet.

Hello all, I posted a tooth yesterday that you kindly identified for me, and I have a few more fossils that I found that I would really appreciate an identification on. All found on Zandmotor beach, The Netherlands. There are four specimens: 1 A bone with a hole in the middle, seems like a vertebrae(??). Any idea what fragment it really is and maybe what kind of animal it came from? Length: 2.5 cm 2 A bone that I would also like any information about, although it might be really hard to identify. - 4 cm 3 Small, flatter bone. - 4.5 cm 4 Are these petrified wood by any chance? They do feel like a rock and also sound like such when I gently hit them with another rock. There are 3 pieces in total that I have shared. - around 6 cm.

Any ideas what this is? Seemed like a tooth of some kind...

I found this while sifting material from a known fossil brook in Monmouth County, New Jersey. I though it might be a tooth, but I am not sure. It is hollow and somewhat brittle. It was found in the brook. Thanks in advance for any help/ideas of what this could be!- 2 replies
