Hello all, this an amazing forum for those to learn from one another and have the opportunity to see wonderful find they would not otherwise have the pleasure of viewing while gaining knowledge. That being said, my 8 year old loves fossils and came across his very first personal find in Texas. By chance can anyone assist with any insight on the details of the fossil? Thank you!!!!

How to tell between angustiden and megs?
FossilizedJello posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Its still very hard to me to tell between the two when discussing the 1.5-3" range. I know angustidens have cusp but not all of them necessarily do. I know angustidens are also more triangle shaped but really that is not given as megs can also have that depending on tooth location. I attached a picture of some mixed ones and I still dont know which are which. My guesses would be the yellow top one, the black one right next to it, and the bottom left black tooth. The rest are megs? Open to discussion

Good evening everyone, I saw this tooth on our favorite auction site and was wondering what you all think about the seller's baryonyx ID. I'm leaning more towards baryonyx because of the granular surface texture but I could easily be wrong. Let me know what you guys think. Basic Info: Found: Atherfield Isle of Wight UK Approx: 26mm x 8mm x 6mm

Hey guys, I saw this listed as a suchomimus tooth. I know suchomimus tooth is quite rare and I don’t have much experience with it. Do you guys think it’s really a suchomimus tooth?

Good morning again!...Been working on this little piece I found in Pennsylvania Winterset limestone in Kansas City, Missouri. Before I go any further, can anyone help with what it is? If just a shell fragment, I"ll stop and add it to my growing rock pile! :).. thanks! Bone

Found these in Pennsylvanian winterset limestone. I think there is a leaf in this next to a branch/limb/trunk impression in the first images, then maybe a leaf in the second-a different species or just a water deposit? At the base of that is plant debris? Any help, as always, appreciated!... Bone

I'm a pretty amateur fossil hunter. I mostly have found shell fossils. I usually find these when I visit certain waterfalls in utah. I'm hoping to find more complex fossils I'm the future.

No info on location.

Here's part of a upper lias fossil lobster, i found this at Whitby on the coast before the Covid lockdown earlier this year. I believe the species is Glyphea I do enjoy looking for fossil lobster nodules on the yorkshire coast in England so i'm trying to figure out exactly what i have here. I was told this is a left cephalothorax. So do i have a head and 2 front feet? Or is it the head from a side view. If any body can find any useful diagrams/pictures of what i have it'd be much appreciated. Thanks Liam

These objects appear to be fossilized bones. Tongue test: (yuck) ahh seems sticky. Lighter test: does not burn. What are some other tests I can do from home to confirm these are 1. Bones 2. Fossilized? The objects are heavily mineralized. Examining the objects several of the larger objects have a circular protrusion harder and sharp in their top middle and bottom middle. The material protruding nipple appears to be more heavily mineralized than the majority of surface material. If these are bones can anyone identify them? Found in western Pennsylvania in an upland area eroding out of a hill into a stream. The stream is a headwater of the Potomac River. A Bovid astragalus was also found within inches (the astragalus dies not appear to be fossilized). In total 15 possible petrified bones were found on the surface within 1 meter of each other. In the center of the objects was a large flat rectangular block of limestone. My uninformed supposition is this was a fire pit and bone marrow extraction spot over 10,000 years ago. I’m looking for confirmation the large objects are indeed fossilized bones. If they are I will seek advice about carbon dating.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. As a child lived in a small town in western Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, and I was an amateur rock collector. One of the possible fossils I found is shown below. I thought it looked like a footprint. However, at the time I didn't give it much thought. Recently I've become interested in trying to identify what made this impression. Was it caused by weathering or is it really a footprint? If it's a footprint what type of animal made it and how old is it? My knowledge of geology and paleontology is limited so I would appreciate any advice you could give me. I've attached 2 photos of the specimen and a 3rd photo showing the cliff face it was pulled from many years ago.

Hey all. So just organizing my collection. I think its about time I finally ID'ed some things. Here are some shark teeth that I think have potential to be megamouth. If better pictures are needed, I can try..its hard to get pics of these.
