Location is kem kem beds, seller said less than 5% restoration. I know nothing about claws but this one almost looks too good to be true and too perfect but I’m not sure how to definitively tell if it’s real or fake
-
1 inch tooth. Seller says it’s a T. Rex tooth, from what I’ve seen the T. rex teeth are more robust this one looks narrow but I’m not sure. From hell creek

I found this fossil outside lodi ohio. Any clue what it is. Help is appreciated

I found this at Flat Rock Park in Lineville, Alabama. Does anyone know if this is a bone of some sort, or if it's something else? Thank you!

Can anyone identify this? It was found in Northern Arkansas in the United States. It feels like rock but looks like bone. Has circles similar to what growth rings look like but not for sure.

Location: East Missouri Being a really new hunter, this is only the 10th or so actual fossil i've ever found, and it's a doozy. A large death plate that I stumbled upon, that I want to do some prep work on to try and uncover and identify what appears to be some actual fossilized bone. Or even if not, just uncover some of the depth. There's a ton of surface cracks here that i've been gently tapping to work some of this plating off, but i'm more super curious about the general structure here. I've highlighted a few areas that I'm concerned about touching, and would love some feedback. What's my concern? I've noted in the below pictures below, but there is a highlighted area that has a suspiciously smooth texture that makes me worry I am actually going to work on top of or chip away a larger set of fossil. So long as what i'm working with here is just some common fossil of no historic value, I have less concerns, but the size of the mass on the lower right has me concerned to work on this specimen at all rather than turning it into our local Science Center for management. I'd love some opinions here on what exactly i'm working with, and any other general conversation Note: I've pushed the contrast on the fossil-overlay image to help show some of the detail on a hazy day photo. I have included both an overlayed image with some text and the full RAW image from my camera with higher resolution for examination.

If you had the option between going to the BV experience or the BV fossil farm what would you choose or recommend? Thanks!

Could this be some sort of bone or something? Found on the Yorkshire coast inside shale rock

Found dozens of these oval fossils along the Red Sea on the Egypt side. They were in hard, dark grey rocks and kinda look like turtle shells. They were all stuck in the rocks the same way, any idea what it could be?

I live in the mountains of Cibola County NM, lots of ancient volcanos. I was gathering limestone rocks for my rock wall I’m building and noticed this. I know fossils are pretty common in these rocks, it looks like the spiral of a snail or something. Anyone know what it is?

Hi I’m going up to Nebraska soon and was wondering where you can go and hunt for Pleistocene fossils near lake mcconaughy, or if lake mcconaughy has any fossils? Thanks -Daniel

Hi, Fossil Folks! I’m a long-time dinosaur enthusiast (I even wrote a book for kids about ‘em!) but I’m TOTALLY new to fossils and a first-time poster—apologies if I make errors with this. ️I would LOVE ID help on this item I found last week on a beach in Monmouth County, NJ. What do you think it might be? (it’s flat, not round, I don’t see serrations but it’s obviously pretty worn, and I’m including photos of both sides and “top.”) All opinions welcome and appreciated! THANKS for looking/commenting!

Hi I’ve been looking for a juvenile T Rex tooth and I came across this one, I was wondering if I can have some help to see if this is real? Thanks -Daniel
-
Hi I found this at a rock shop that sells flats of fossils and minerals and at first I thought it was mastodon but it doesn’t have thick enough enamel. Then I thought it could be rhino like Brontotherium any thoughts? Any help appreciated.

I am spending the week in Myrtle Beach, SC and I have been finding various shell fossils all week. Today I found this unusual fossil that I can't ID as well as what I believe is a sand dollar fossil in matrix. If I could please get an ID on the first one. Thank you in advance!

Hello, everyone! Back in February I was hunting in the North Sulphur River, and I found a few fossils that I am curious about, as well as a broken artifact. If anyone could give me any insights on these pieces, I would be grateful! 1: Pictures 1-3 are of the artifact. 2: Pictures 4-6 are of a tooth. To me, it seems mor conical than a shark tooth, but it does have a flat part underneath. 3: Pictures 7-8 Unknown 4: Pictures 9-11 Unknown 5: Pictures 12-14 Unknown

Howdy Everyone! I found this batch of fossils (maybe a rock or two) in Myrtle Beach, SC. Any assistance in identification is greatly appreciated, GOOD LUCK! (Apologies if these photos end up out of order)

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and also a total newbie in fossil with my only experience with fossils as a research internship. I would like to ask if this ammonite fossil that I've purchased is genuine or not (I bought it from a museum - so I'm assuming it's real), but I'll love to learn more from everyone! I have two main questions about my specimen (based on looking at other posts about ammonites): 1. the centre's pattern of my fossil is very clear like it's almost carved out - how can you tell if the centre has been modified? (as I've seen most other specimens being commented as fabricated/carved) 2. what is the white shell-like thing on my specimen? - it seems like other ammonites that aren't polished(which preserves the external ornaments) should be brownish-rock like.

Hi everyone just wondering if anyone could take a look at these and tell me if these are fossils please. I found them on penarth beach. Not sure if they are bone or wood or anything at all. Thanks in advance

Found this today on a beach on Lake Huron, is this a tooth? And if so, do we know what it may have come from?
-
Hello! I’m new to the forum and come across fossils and interesting rocks regularly. I would love to learn more about my findings from anyone here that has a keen interest in helping someone like me expand my knowledge! These photos are of my most recent finding, but I don’t know what it is/ where it’s from/ when I dates back to.

Basically the title! Not sure what these are…

Hi I found this one a beach England, I know nothing around fossils but it stood out as looks really like a tooth, due to fuel colour, one for where the root may have been when in the gum and one for the actual tooth. It’s shaped very much like a teeth (on display) I have seen before so got me interested. mid I could have this identified that would be really cool.

Found this strange fragment of cretaceous cephalopod- i found many others today, and in the past as well. However this one had a strange fragment that has been fossilized within. I cannot identify it, nor figure out why it is inside this small bit of cephalopod cast. It is rock hard, and i cannot break or bend the bits off that are sticking out.

Finished a fossil hunt at Big Brook, NJ! Need help with some ID.
75millionyearsago posted a topic in Fossil ID
The first images are of a bone i am almost certain is non-fossilized but i could always be wrong! can anyone ID the species? Next images are of what i assume may be petrified wood, any chance it is? Its quite heavy for its small size, and has a wood-like texture. Then i have this black shell-like thing, unsure of it’s species but it is certainly something. Lastly i ID’d this tooth as a cretaceous thresher shark tooth- am i right? thank you for your help!
