I was doing some landscape work today and found these hoof like impressions in a few pieces of flagstone. I believe it to be sandstone. And I know for sure it’s from Oklahoma, U.S.A. Any thoughts?

Utah - My 7 year old came home with this from a nearby field. It feels heavy like and hard like a rock. Some thoughts from medical professional family members is possible vertebrae or hoof from an animal. Any ideas for ID are appreciated. I'm not looking to sell, just trying to figure out what it is for my son. For now I'll let him think dino fossil until proven otherwise. Haha. I scanned it using photogrammetry and uploaded the 3D model to Nira for sharing images. https://myangelprints.nira.app/a/Mx7xVt3HQGmeJHJUiaeirA/1

Ancestors of Modern Horses Had Hooved Toes Instead of Single Hoof
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News

Found on the Kansas River. Here is what sure looks like a small horse lower leg bone and hoof. It has turned to mostly fossilized rock. I could be dreaming and it just be a plant fossil of some sort but it is hollow and the bottom of the "hoof" is indented just like a hoof pad area. All thought are welcome!

Lucky me the river level is dropping after a small increase but it was enough for me to hit the usual spot and find a few things today. Found this very solid specimen that after searching online I believe it might be a bison 3rd phalanx or a hoof core? I almost passed it by because I thought it was a rock...it's definitely fossilized. It's the first one of these I've found so I thought it was pretty cool. Probably an overkill on photos but I wanted to get the best photos I could of it. Found in SE Texas on a gravel bank.

I have what I'm pretty sure is a triceratops hoof, but I've come to understand edmontosaurus and triceratops hooves are hard to tell apart. It's from the hell creek formation, Montana. It's 3.5 inches across and long

Wanted to share this hoof I found yesterday. Not entirely sure which exact species this is but is likely neohipparion based upon the literature.

I made it out to the Brazos River for a while on this beautiful, sunny day. The temps ranged from 49 to 71 with low humidity and virtually no wind......perfect! I found a hoof core that seems different from the horse hooves I’ve found. It’s a little beat up, but maybe someone will recognize it. I placed it next to another hoof core that Harry recently identified as tapir. The tapir is on the left and the hoof in question is on the right in each of the pics. @Harry Pristis @fossilus @Lorne Ledger @Shellseeker @GPayton

Hi A few weeks ago I acquired a small ungual that was found in the Kyzyl Kum desert in Uzbekistan (Bissekty Fm). It looks like a hadrosaur hoof to me. I assume a more detailed ID is not possible though. Do you agree? Thanks Felix

I found this in quaternary alluviums but near a spot with a confirmed vert fossil find. It looks to me like half a cloven toe, but the mineralization seems sketchy. What do you experts think? Could it be a trace, like mud-filled footprint or is it another pseudofossil!? Thanks for humoring me!

Found In southern Indiana in river rock. Object is about 2” wide at bottom and about 2.5” tall. Seems as though this rock is loaded with interesting finds. Is it a tooth or hoof? Maybe. A primitive claw?
-
Found two of these similar shaped stones. They both have the resemblance a tooth. Curious if anyone has any insight. They were found in Charente, France. They seem to be possible internal molds of crustacean. I would greatly appreciate if anyone has any information on this. Thank you!

Hello again, I found this unusual shaped piece on a beach on West Coast, Florida. It's hard to tell whether it's a suggestive rock or mineralized bone. It reminded me of a claw or hoof core. I attached 5 photo views. What do you think?

Ok, last one I promise. I have found a few pieces of these fossil bone fragments with an odd type of material attached to them. Rather odd texture, sort of bumpy. My first thought was some type of skin or hoof. I am puzzled. Any ideas? Found in Post oak creek, Grayson Co. Texas Lower Austin, upper Eagle Ford Gulf series.

Hi Everyone! I found this today digging in an outcropping of the San Mateo formation in Oceanside, California. I have found horse teeth at this site before. Not sure about this one, but I am wondering if it could be a hoof? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks

Please help identify this fossil. There are 2 what appear to be hoof prints along with some shells. They were found in a river bed near Akron, Ohio. I'm sorry for the vagueness, but I am new to the fossil world.
