    Help Identifying This

    This caught my eye at a sale near me, Its definitely a fossil, just not sure. Help please?
  2. Found this and a couple of smaller ones that are identical. An hour ago
  3. Dear All ,would you advice with this fossil ID ..one of them weight 5.4 kg
  4. 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 for not using the international scale and I don’t have the piece on me at this time to lay against the printable table, but would estimate it’s about 2cm or 3/4in wide. Thanks!!

    Claw, Horn, Bone?

    Posting from Facebook. Found on the Thames estuary in London

    Cranial appendage?

    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!

    Wyoming Molar and Canine

    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

    Is this a triceratops horn?

    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
  12. 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 dark coloration. I rubbed it with acetone and revealed a different color underneath. I am 95% sure this is not wood however as there are no wood grains and the weight is more consistent with bone What leads me to the conclusion that this is a real bone and not wood is the cross section. There is actual bone structure here So, what is this "horn" exactly? My guess right now is that it is an actual bone (judging from the base) that was carved into the shape of a horn. There is a honeycomb pattern which you can see on the base. Traces of this pattern can be seen exposed by acetone. Perhaps most of the honeycomb surface pattern was destroyed by carving? Anyway, I could be totally wrong. Maybe this is indeed a true fossil rhino horn and I am just over-paranoid. I would like your thoughts please, thank you
  13. 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. Described as a horn with a part of the skull attached. One piece is wrapped as it is fragile (guess I'd need something to strengthen it if I buy it). I am guessing since it has been left in a piecemeal condition, I don't have to worry about hidden restoration with this one. To my eye, it does seem like the bits are all from the same trike and all seem like they'd largely fit together--albeit with a few bits missing. It also comes with a bowl of small pieces from the same horn, which I'm guessing account for some of the missing sections. Thanks for the help

    Judith River Ceratopsian Horn?

    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!

    Sonoma Coast Fossil (?)

    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.

  22. 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 photo. It is approx 4 inches long. Found on East Coast USA. Thanks for looking.

    Horn?

    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.
  25. It has 10 percent restoration. It's 13.5 inches long. It was found in Baker Montana region.
