A few years ago, I found a fossilized something on the Beach at Cape Henlopen. It was embedded in quartz. It looked kinda like a belemnite, but the wrong material. I was told by Plax that it was much older than our cretaceous belemnites. I tucked it into a spot on the shelf and wondered about it. Since then I have seen a few posts here and there from folks in NJ finding nice little paleozoic pieces on their side of the bay as well. This summer, I made it a mission to explore the Delaware beaches and see what I could find and how far north they went. I began at the cape and worked m

Found this interesting specimen Holden Beach. Ridges are very pronounced and linear. At first I thought perhaps a piece of antler but don’t think so. Could be bone but there is no marrow - the breakage is almost like petrified wood. Could this be part of a plant or coral? Notice the lines converge in certain places and start new in others - much like a fingerprint. Also notice on the back side there is a smooth channel which makes me think it was perhaps hollow? Did a sketch of a possibility - what do you think? I could not get any closer photo without my camera becoming blurry. Sorry f

Hi all, I found this horn-like fossil in a north Florida river recently. It seems fairly light and porous (not like an antler). It reminds me of some of the cranial appendages of tylopods that I'm reading about, but it's probably something less exciting. I appreciate the help!

Stumbled across these fossils on a hillside in the Badlands of the bighorn basin Wyoming I have looked at fossil records for identification of these teeth nothing I have come across so far has been comparable to this size besides ancient rhinoceros any information on this would be helpful all teeth were found together in a washout ditch only inches from one another

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 -
Hi, I love to take trips on fields and forests. I usually metal-detecting but I did find this - I do not know what it is... Romania

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!

Some fun finds here in Tennessee Devonian /Ordivician area. Just north of Hendersonville TN. Found in creeks, rivers, and streams. -
Hi! Sorry for the low-quality photos. Not sure if this a rock or fossil. It has an almost honeycomb pattern on the inside. Found at the beach on the Sonoma Coast in Northern California. Thank you for taking a look at it.

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.
