ID ? Possible bone/Teeth from Montana's Prairie Badlands
JackyFisher posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Any idea would be appreciated, these are on some dirt pile and not together. Thanks! -
Found in the scollard formation. Seems to have the blood grooves and general shape that I've seen on horns. I'm guessing it would just be a section from the tip. @Troodon

Is this a real or fake rhino horn?
-Andy- posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all, I was recently gifted a lovely fossil from a friend. He told me it comes from a reliable digger from Sangiran and it is a rhino horn. However, I have my doubts Rhino horns as I understand, are made of keratin which means they do not fossilize easily. Also, this fossil here is almost surely a bone. My friend tells me it is permineralized keratin but I am not sure if I agree with that. While there are indeed lines that flow from the base to the tip, I can't tell if they are carved or not My friend mentioned this is a river find, hence the -
A battered Triceratops horn
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, Now, this is the worst for wear, but if it is as described, I figure it's my best chance to get a triceratops horn for a price that is in my budget---since I've seen full ones go for thousands, I'd never afford one.. And even though it's a bit battered, it seems repairable to a degree---the top part seems like it can repaired, as does the bit connecting to the skull, but it is missing a chunk of the middle section unfortunately. I So, is it as described--a Triceratops horn, or something else that resembled a horn? It was found in Western South Dakota, Hell Creek. De -

Possible Triceratops Horn and many other dinosaur parts.

I have this chunk of bone from the Judith River formation of Hill County, Montana, and I was wondering if this is a partial horn? It was found with some other small skull fragments, but this is the main piece. Does anybody more familiar with ceratopsian horns have any insight? It is 5.3 inches in length (I forgot a ruler picture, my apologies). Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon everyone, Im looking to possibly buy this unique and large fossil. Just not exactly sure what it is. It’s from Indonesia.

This one has me stumped also.

Hi, sorry posted a bunch at once and they are probably all just rocks but really enjoy looking at the posts here and attempting to participate. This rock was interesting to me because it is incredibly shiny, moreso than in the photos and particularly on one side, the flat one. And, it has that flat side that looks almost organic. Around the smallest tip of it, there seems to be a ring but not sure if that shows up well in photos and a straight ridge along the flat side. The other side is indented a couple millimeters. I know its probably a rock but it looked interesting enough to me to p

I posted a similar “horn” recently that didn’t get much resolution. Here’s another one with a few more pics. Indonesia (supposedly), found alongside megs in some type of wash pile/hill (supposedly). thoughts? thanks in advanced for any insight. It’s a weird one. I’ve seen a couple, but only a couple, pictures online of Miocene type rhino horns that are somewhat similar - but nothing exact.

Hi all, In the 80's my uncle took a horn from an extinct ancient rhino from Indonesia. It is definately a fossil, it is like stone. And quite heavy, 3.5 kg. (The ruler is in cm) I would like to know from what kind of rhino specie it is. Has anybody an idea? Thank you very much!

Hi all, I’m thinking about bidding on this, and was wondering if it was a triceratops horn?

Hello! I see this for sale. The seller told me It’s a triceratops horn. No information about location. Is it real? Fake? No triceratops horn? Thank you so much!

Hi, I bought this fossil at a flea market but am having trouble identifying what it could. I believe it to be the brow horn of a triceratops but i'm not too sure.

Hi I’m wondering what Ceratosaurus and other horned Theropods used there horns for? I’ve heard it was display but I’ve also heard it was for pushing rivals. Is there any evidence for these? Thank you!!

This horn coral is most likely from the fossil area of Alpena, Michigan per the man that gave it to me. It was covered with very hard dirt. After much cleaning and trips to the ultra sonic machine I am not sure what I'm seeing? The top instead of the usual straight cut like lines has lumps. like the tentacles. And instead of the usual looks of a broken off tail it has the gray as pictured. Is it the normal looks of a well preserved horn coral or another life form attached to it. I understand that they secrete calcium carbonate around them for protection, and that is what we normally find. all
