Hey guys I am curious if any of these are trilobite fragments. They are all very small and thin. Found in Ordovician rocks in Cincinnati. A piece was broken off because of too much water pressure so I outlined what it was like before. It is more brown colored. This piece is a pit more brown colored.

I can't find any pictures of dino skull bone structure. Does anyone have any, or know where to find any cross sections, or pictures of skull fragments where you can see the internal structure? Preferably the forehead/top

From the album: Dinosaurs & flying reptiles
Fragment of a triceratops frill. Blood vessel channels and holes easily visible. Sadly this is an early fossil of mine, and until fairly recently I did not record any information, I just kept if it was sent along with the fossil. -

This fell out of a powdery clump around a shell. (after flood=gooey crumbly mess) I feel like it's probably broken bits of shell, because they look situated on a shell fragment. The way they're lined up, however, looks weird. (As so much does! Lol) So basically, I'm not sure if I should toss it, or if it might be teeth? Really, really hard to get a closeup of the detail. There are three (I think), they're shaped kinda like teeth...the one that's exposed the most has a groove down one side, I can't really see the other side of it. Sw Fl.

Hi everyone! I found this fragment and it seems different than the usual inoceramus shell fragments I find. I was wondering if anyone recognized what it might be?
-
This turtle shell is part of the edge and it gives a nice idea of the shape thatwent around the outer part of the shell, I doubt such a small fragment can be identified but I thought I’d give it a go, any suggestions appreciated. Found Myrtle beach South Carolina

Is this a fragment of a nautiloid cephalopod? It is quite large. Found in a limestone quarry. Thanks!
-
So small it was difficult to get a quality photo with my phone, but this little fragment of whatever it might be has tiny dots and circles that are quite perfect, found at myrtle beach, SC

Saw this awesome item online and won the auction. Very interesting rock from the Whitby area in Yorkshire. i'm wondering what the bones are. I know the ammonite is a Oxynoticeras. I was guessing Ichthyosaur but maybe someone can give me a better ID? Maybe it's Gyrosteus fish bones

I spotted this fossil in some Tyndal stone blocks in a building near London Ontario, and am trying to identify what kind of fossil it is.

Hi, looking to see if anyone can tell me if this is a bone fragment. I found this at a construction site near my home in Texas where dirt was recently dug up. It appears to have a fibrous structure and the ends are smooth and appear to have visible ends to fibers. Possibly a vertebrae fragment?
-
Hello everyone !. I found this near the same place I found a vertebrae of a whale.I made a search in Google, and I think is a echinoderm fossil.What do you think? Am i absolutely wrong? Salutations!

Hi, Im sorry to be back on this topic again but the suspicion is bothering my way to much after spending even more time looking at this piece and comparing it that resembles a very worn, broken up trilobite head from a possibly large one, the location (New York) I found this in I also found other more clearer trilobites but also a few that are 100%trilobite but worn to point that they nearly blend in right with the rock and have minimal features, my guts bothering the hell out of me so I provided a final set of even better photos below from an angle that I haven't posted on the original thread Hoping for someone to lay me to rest once again and tell me its a rock one more time , the texture though barely visible in the photo makes me believe its something, if not trilobite it doesn't share the same consistency as the surrounding rock and shale in certain areas and upon very close examination has very minimal fractions of pieces with a celluloid trilobitey or living thing texture.

I need help to ID my latest find. It is porous, like a bone, but does not look it. The lines look like scratch marks, or something.

Ok so I'm brand new here and I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I found this what I think is a fossilized bone (maybe skull) fragment washed up on the beach at westmoreland state park in montross virginia along the potomac river. The area, I believe, is part of the calvert cliffs along the chesapeake and therefore should be from the Miocene. I've been trying for months to figure out what this thing is and the best idea I have come up with is maybe a skull fragment from a miocene dolphin of some kind but I'm honestly not completely sure it's not just a rock. I may have gone overboard with the pictures but I wanted to make sure you guys had the best possible understanding of what this thing looks like. Its about 5cms at its widest point. Thanks for taking a look.

So I can't remember when exactly I picked this up but I am sure it comes from a local stream in southern New Jersey. I am not sure if this is even a fossil or if it is something else but it looked unique enough to ask about. The lighter spots are where I experimentally scratched at the rock but the patterned bit on the end is what I am curious about. For all I know it is just an impression fooling my brain. What ever your conclusion could you explain to me why you reached it so that I don't make the same mistake twice ? Thanks !

Fragment of a juvenile C. Megalodon. These are rare at Calvert Cliffs but certainly are out there. I have recovered a few fragments, but so far no completes. -

Hello, I have been wondering about this dinosaur bone for quite some time now, but have not known what type of bone it is and what it is from. I have heard that fragmentary bones are extremely difficult to impossible to identify, but I thought because of how it looks someone might be able to. I purchased it from a website that was selling dinosaur bones in bags, they were labeled as being from USA, of Cretaceous age and being from a sauropod (however I do not think that last one is correct, because there was a triceratops frill fragment in one). Other than that I do not know anything else. Thanks to anyone who may be able to help. There are two more photos of the bone.

Hello, I found these today in my grandmother's front yard among 4-tons of river rock she recently had installed. I believe they are bone fragments, but I was hoping to get some opinions (if I guessed right). I'm still learning, but I try my best. The first four photos are the same piece from different angles.

I was looking among the river rock that surrounds our pond, when I noticed this specimen. It is NOT a rock, I can tell by the density and the spongy texture. It reminds me of the end of bone in either the arm or leg. It is less than 2 inches and weighs approx. 0.5 oz (according to my food scale). The spongy look of the specimen highly suggests some sort of bone fragment. I'm not looking for a full-on identification of the animal it came from. i'm just curious to know if it is a bone fragment. I washed the specimen to make sure that it is an older fossil/bone, and not just a bone covered in dirt. NONE of the dark coloring washed away; it all stayed. So it is an older specimen, and not a young bone covered in dirt. Unfortunately I do not know the origin of this specimen, since it was among the river rock we got to put around the pond.
