It is a Toe Bone found in the Brule Formation Custer County, South Dakota. It’s dated to be from 35-30 million years old. The Bone is small, only 1.6 centimeters. I’m not sure what species it is, if anyone possibly knows or know a species it can’t be it would help a lot.

Hi, I found this fossil in our basement and I remember that we were told as kids that it’s a mammoth tooth but now I don’t think so. It was found in Belgium I believe.

I found this heavy triangular piece of what appears to be a bryozoa colony ,but at different angles and lighting I find it to show several other possibilities. This was retrieved from a receding river bed amongst many more corals and lingulla plates I also gathered. If anyone has an input or correction to my guess ,I greatly appreciate it.

Where can I take a bunch of unknown fossils to be identified (in CA state)?
timlah79 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi all, Fairly new to the forum. As I posted in the welcome forum Hello from Santa Cruz, CA with a tub full of fossils!, I have a tub full of fossils that I only know which a few actually are (see my photo in that post). There are somewhere around 50 fossils that I honestly don't even know where they came from, where they were dug up, etc. I've had a lot of help from other folks to try to identify a couple of them. However, as I've learned, if I truly don't know what part of the world/country the given fossil came from, it's very difficult to find out what the fossil actually is. I still have so many more in this tub that I would like to have identified. I don't want to waste anyone else's time on this forum by posting new threads and photos when I'm asking about fossils of which I don't know the origin. So my current question is: Does anyone know of a museum, a specialist, anyone/any avenue in CA state (preferably near Santa Cruz 95062) that I could physically take all of these 50+ fossils to for identification, in the hope that if they are inspected physically that I may be able to figure out at least what some of them are? My previous specific Fossil ID posts for reference: Unidentified, possibly lower femur bone from a dinosaur? What is this tusk / horn? -
Scale: Approx 11-12cm square in all directions (LxWxH) Location Found: Washington State (supposedly) I believe this to be the lower part of a femur from some kind of dinosaur but for all I know it could be part of a completely different bone and/or from a completely different animal. See note below photos. Note: This and all posts I'll create are from a tub full of unknown, supposedly all dinosaur fossils collected around areas of Washington State which I recently acquired from a collector. However, I don't know for certain when or where they were collected. I am not an expert whatsoever. Hoping the community can help me figure out what they are.

Hi! New Member here. I was hoping to get help with an id on a possible bone, possible fossil that I found on the coast of Carova Beach, NC on 12/31/23. On the 4x4 part of the beach right where its blocked off so the horses dont get through. I've posted a few angles and included my hand in one for reference. Please let me know if any more info would be helpful. Thanks so much!

Here's the next one from my tub of unknown fossils. For these photos I took any fragment that was of the same color and pieced them together. I cannot guarantee all pieces (except for the top one, connecting to the second) are actually from the same bone. The top one definitely fits as a puzzle piece to the second, large one. The two photos show one side of all, then the flip-side of all. Scale: As seen in the photos from first bone to last, length is ~50 cm. Largest part of the largest / 2nd bone is 8-9cm width. Location Found: Unknown. Would have likely been WA or OR state but I'm only speculating and do not know the actual origin. I feel like (at least some portion of this fossil) is a tusk or horn of some sort but I'm looking for other's opinions. I hope that it is a horn from a dinosaur/some kind of ceratopsid but it could be some other kind of animal or bone altogether. Also the last 2 bones could not even be part of the main one. They just happen to look to me like part of the same. Note: This and all posts I'll create are from a tub full of unknown, supposedly all dinosaur fossils collected around areas of WA, OR, and even Canada which I recently acquired from a collector. However, I don't know for certain when or where they were collected. I am not an expert whatsoever. Hoping the community can help me figure out what they are.

Hi - I was recently given some concretions from Mazon Creek in Grundy County, IL. to open. I have been able to mostly identify some fauna specimens using the Mazon Creek books. However, not able to identify this one using the book or searches on the internet. Looks like a gold fish to me. Any ideas?

Hello! I have had this bone from theKem Kem, Morocco, for a awhile now. The seller told me it was pterosaur, i took it with a grain of salt as sellers usually misidentify fossils from the Kem Kem, especially bones. The length of the bone is around 65 mm Cheers. - Adriano
