Hey guys new to the forums and thought I’d make a post to have you guys help identify some possible fossils that i found in a local creek after heavy rains.There are lots of mission era ranches so there is a possibility of them being old but not fossilized cow bones. Let me know what you guys think

Hello!! Just wanted to share with the forum some of my fossils and bones that I do not need identified but would love thoughts on nonetheless. The elephant bone is of a four tusker- the upper part of the tibia, and completely mineralized, and very heavy. It is anywhere from 13-15 myo. The tortoise shell frags include the lip of the shell, as well as a nice slab of the plastron- found separately, but in the same creek. Tortoises were in Nebraska 8-15 mya. The horse tibia has been identified as either the tibia of the small three-toed horse Pseudhipparion, or t

A presumed horse metapodial from the Eocene sediments of the Big Horn Basin (Wyoming). Post some other things from here as well, but was wondering if anyone could narrow down this ID. Thanks!

The Brazos River has been receding daily, and I found this sacrum two days ago laying in sandy gravel that had just been exposed. Mostly Pleistocene fossils here. Due to its size, I thought it may be from one of the larger herbivore mammals. But due to wear, it's a little hard for me to tell how tapered or straight the original structure was, which seems pretty diagnostic in differentiating between the species. Several examples I've seen look similar, but I'm having a hard time finding any with sizes listed, so I'm a little lost. Can anyone shed some more light on this?

Here are pictures of a bone fossil found by my wife at Myrtle Beach. It reminds me of horse fossils I have seen, but not exactly. Can anyone please help id?

Greetings I am a Geologist who works in Northern Alberta and B.C., and I have been finding some great Pleistocene Horse and Bison bones in river gravels. My bones were looked at and samples sent for Carbon dating through the provincial Museum and a Professor buddy of mine. The Horse bones were 22-25k years old and the Bison bone was 44k years old. They paid for the analyses and I am donating them to the Museum. All were found within a couple kilometers on the same river. I found these two this year. They were very close to where I found the Horse bones.

Hi Everyone, Found this horse tooth today in a NJ stream. Can anyone tell if this is a modern day horse or an older species? I have another horse canine from this same stream that was identified as a 3 toed horse. I’ll throw a pic of that in here as well. Thanks, John

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! -
With the River and creeks WAAAAY over my head, I have started to sort, review, reduce my collections from the last 3-4 months, starting from the most recent. I have a couple of interesting bones. The 1st I think in a cannon bone from a small pre_equus horse. Why small pre_equus horse? I find 1 Equus fossil at this location for every 100 pre_Equus horse fossils, plus this bone is too small to be an Equus cannon bone. Why Cannon bone ? Because it seems very similar to a photo of Equus Cannon bone created by @Harry Pristis. Harry identified as left leg, Mine seems to be the opposite ori

A friend have find this tooth in a greek place and give it to me. I think is from horse or a relative animal. No idea if this a fossil. Pliocene, Pleistocene, or just Holocene?

Hey folks, A friend of mine gave me this tooth for cleaning his house but has no idea what it is. We know nothing about this tooth but I think it looks horse like.

Found this tooth last week on the Peace River, FL. At first glance I thought incisor - Equus. Upon getting it home and looking closer I didn't know if in fact an Equus incisor could be as small as this as it measures 22 mm in length and 9 mm across the crown. The crown surface is worn so that while I thought there is a hint of what I would expect from the crown of a horse incisor, I just can't be sure. With that, I am submitting it to the knowledgable folks here who may be able to provide an ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Made it to the river last Friday - I think I found a talon
FossilFreak posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I haven't posted in a while, but have had some pretty good hunts over the last couple of years. This year has been busy with work. I made it down to the river for some fossil hunting for my first time in 2021 last Friday. I had a really nice day. The weather was beautiful. I had great visiblity. I'm hoping to go again tomorrow. I took some photos of some of the days finds. First photo: - One of the things I was most excited about is a potential talon of a bird of prey. It is broken, but you can see it in the photos below. I am pretty exc -
Hi all, I found this while shark tooth hunting this morning in Charleston, SC. It measures a little over 1.5 inches. Is it a horse tooth? Guessing it is partial. Any other interesting information anyone has on it would be appreciated! I don’t know much about them. Thanks in advance!

My stepdaughter found this tooth in the Peace River (FL) on our last trip out. I tried to take decent photos of the chewing surface, but my hands are shaky (shakier after Covid). Can anyone ID the species on this one? If not, I can have her take some better photos.

Unsure of this. Please comment. Found in the Peace river.1E5CE109-5BA3-4F17-8C50-B920953CEE3D.heic

I know that it isn't a fossil, but just I couldn't resist picking up this mediterranean sea horse on the auction site. They're just so cute.- 1 comment

Dear Fossil Forum, We have continued to visit the Brazos near Houston, and it has turned up horse. Teeth, a proximal phalange, and what I think is actually not horse, but a tapir calcaneus! My latest find is a vertebra, and it looks like thoracic vertebra 18 (T18). But, in comparing it to a photo of a modern horse example, the facet for rib attachment is smaller in proportion, and lots of other details look a little different as well. Does anyone know of good resources for researching fossil horse ancestor vertebrae? Or know if there is variation in contemporary vert s

For those of you that hunt rivers and creeks in the Midwest how often do you find horse remains? These three humeri were all found within a 2-mile stretch of a river within about a two year period - along with many other random tarsals, a femur, multiple tibia, and several teeth...

This tooth was found at the WM Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park yesterday. It appears more in line with a horse, cow, or bison than anything Cretaceous. Thoughts on ID and time period? Measures to 3 cm. Thanks

I was answering questions on Horse tooth identification in the Netherlands, and thought of something that I really did not know. I learned the conventional wisdom. Horses started in South America, migrated across a land bridge to North America, and eventually crossed the land bridge near what is today the Bering Strait, into the rest of the world. Horses went extinct in the Americas. In the 1500s, Spaniards reintroduced horses into the Americas. So, How far back in the fossil record do Horses go outside of the Americas? I have no idea, beyond thinking we had Equus in Flori
