Hey all, can you help me ID some finds? Recently pulled some interesting bones from Big Brook. Pickings were a bit slim this round with typical wear of the location. See below. Jaw of some kind. Probably a fish like pachyrhizodus, but could it be a small mosasaur fragment? Next is a random chunk of bone. Thinking cretaceous as well, maybe reptile. This last one was a real headscratcher. Initially leaned toward pleistocene but now thinking cretaceous. Could it be a croc bone? Also bonus including the most majestic/biggest coprolite I ever found, and wow what a great specimen lemme tell you folks. Just my luck 🤣🤣🤣

Scapula / femur bone central texas near dino vally in glen rose id please
trap posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this very hard and heavy petrified fossil? off a hill in a ravine by a natural spring on our property after clearing some land. It has kind of a porous exterior. Perhaps part of the head of the bone broke off partially over time? scapula? A rancher said it looks like a cow bone. It is so old and heavy I just don’t know if I buy that. Is it possible timing wise that it would be a fossilized cow or is it possibly prehistoric? Thank you for having a look. not sure of time period to look at.

A nice Dictyonema flabelliforme dendroid graptolite from Oslo Fields in Norway. It's Tremadoc, Lower Ordovician in age and is thus maybe around 480 mya. Another angle :

Found this while hunting dinasur bones in Montana. Hell Creek formation very visible around the find and we usually recover dinosaur bones but this was odd. Want to know what kind of bison and how old it is.

Hi! I just found this fossil (it’s a fossil right?) in Northwest Arkansas, but haven’t been able to ID it. Anyone know what it is? It’s about two and half inches wide. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your patience and helping me learn. This one looks like the right shape and seems to have some level of porousness to it. It is heavier than it looks which supports fossil. It's from Southwest Washington which I don't believe is really known for this kind of fossils, but I might be mistaken. It was weirdly just sitting in the gravel of a drainage ditch. There was some evidence of a small washout and it had been exceptionally rainy/stormy within a few weeks prior. Still was a bit odd. It's not a modern bone, at least not recently. Father in law ran a funeral home. I've had some experience with modern ones. Please help me understand what I am missing if incorrect. Thank you all. This place is amazing.

I found this while fossil hunting for the first time. I’m curious if anyone can identify it. I found it on the side of a road in Lee Summit Missouri, Pennsylvania aged rock I believe.

My initial thought was turtle when I found this. Can anyone help me determine what this is? Thank you very much.

As the title states, I have a few questions regarding the burn test. We hunt glacial deposits in eastern Kansas, and find many bones, some obviously not fossil (we chuck these) and some that are definitely fossil. I do understand that the river tends to darken bones, and give the appearance of fossil. However, we have found several bones that have the right color to be fossil, are exceptionally heavy for their size, and 'feel' right to be a fossil. Strangely though, when I do the burn test on them, they will not char or burn but give off a more subtle 'burnt hair' smell. Of course, on definite non-fossil bones, they smell badly and tend to usually char/burn. SO, my question: Is the burn test a definite decider on whether a bone is fossil or not? I have heard of Bison Latifrons bones not passing the burn test, yet they are without question 'fossils'. Also, I know it doesn't really apply to this, but I have also heard of collagen being preserved even in dinosaur bones; at least in small amounts. Could some collagen be preserved in some of our bones? So, is the burn test definitive? Or should I toss bones that char and burn, but ones that smell but do not burn, keep? Hopefully y'all understand what I'm getting at here. Thank you so much in advance

These aren't my only finds but these are the "big" rocks that I have. I've found a lot of pet wood (no palm sadly) and a lot of agate (which ain't a fossil!) down here which is always a treat to find. Anyways here is the first picture of my collection, showing the overview.
