I found this piece while snorkeling off the shores of Aruba. I am guessing they are some type of teeth, with coral forming on them.

Hi, found this tooth in Kallo - Belgium, near the Schelde river. I have never seen a tooth like this before - someone suggested it may be a fragment from a horse tooth? Any other ideas? Thank you, Jelle

Hi all- I’ve had this fossil tooth for a while that came with a collection. No idea what animal it is or where it’s from. Can y’all help me out? Thank you!

Does anyone think this is a fossil of any type, or just a weird rock?
AmINutz posted a topic in Fossil ID
It's a long story. Found it 40 yrs ago in Idaho on a hike behind my parent's home. Parent's died, found it with the other rocks we had collected over the years. Does anyone think it is anything? It weighs at least 15lbs. A bit smaller than a volleyball.

Hey guys, I’m hoping someone can help me out by confirming the ID on this odd fossil I found in the Peace River! It is a very worn section of jaw bone with 3 teeth showing. The teeth appear to be that of an equine, so I assume what I have here is a section of an equine jaw worn by water and time. The shape of it is odd, though.

Hello all. First of many IDs I will be requesting of the fossils I have found in the Verdigris Creek of Northeastern Nebraska. This creek runs through the Valentine Formation which is roughly dated to 15 million years old, but is also known to cut through Pleistocene exposures. This bone I found has almost certainly been gnawed on- it matched up to the size of one of the larger stem hipparions found around here, but I am still unsure whether it could possibly be camelid or anything else. Let me know your thoughts!! Thank you.

Hi guys, These are both from south Florida. I think either camel or deer but I can't tell which and they might even be something else. Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always.

Hi everyone! I'm now living just outside Saskatoon and I am working with the University of Saskatchewan's Museum of Natural Sciences. The Saskatoon area is largely undescribed in paleontological literature, so I have been visiting various sites around the city in the hope of finding some fossils. I found these specimens in sediment exposed by construction excavation. I have several other bone fragments from this site, all exhibiting mineral staining, but they are likely ribs and vertebrae which are difficult to identify to the species level. The first is clearly a mammal limb bone. I believe it to be the distal end of a tibia. It is heavily water-worn, but I believe I can still make out the impressions of the double trochlea. I know that a reliable method of identifying tibias to either Perissodactyla or Artiodactyla is to observe the impressions of the double trochlea (credit to this thread for helping me with this!): I think I can make out the impressions, though I'm not sure if they are at an angle or if they truly run fore and aft. I would greatly appreciate some more input on this and some fresh eyes! I've included a (somewhat crude) rendering to help illustrate what I think I see. If it does belong to the Perissodactyla group, I can confidently assign it to Equus indet., establishing the specimen as a fossil. The second object looks and feels like a fragment of mammoth ivory. It has the distinctive bark-like outer texture and it is almost identical in most regards to confirmed fragments of mammoth tooth I have. I don't know what the dark substance is on the underside. I have no idea how something that looks so biological could be produced by a construction site, so I strongly suspect it is at least something organic. I don't know how helpful photos are in identifying mammoth tooth fragments, but if an identification is possible I would really appreciate it! If I can identify either one or both of these specimens as Pleistocene fossils, I can designate the site as a fossiliferous location and continue my work in the area with more confidence. Thank you all!

We found this today at the beach near Venice, Italy (Adriatic Coast). So far we've determined it is a tooth from either a cow or an equine species. We burned it with a lighter - it does smell burnt, so probably not fossilized. Does anybody know the species?

Recently found in central IL. By pictures, local paleontologist claims metatarsal horse that had been butchered. Fossil? Bone? he also said “it’s been in the ground a long time “ what’s that mean.? as a horse it’s either less than 600 or more than 10000, right?

I have four finds from the Peace River that I have not been able to ID. They have been picked up on two recent visits to the river and I have been searching on line and on the Forum for a match without success. At least one may just be a suggestively shaped rock. I am pretty confident the other three are bone but I have not been able to figure them out. Came up with the astragulus and phalange possibilities looking through textbook materials. I would appreciate any ideas from some of our more experienced Forum veterans. First up the possible astragulus that measures 52mm x 48mm x 46mm Next up the one that may just be a suggestively shaped rock. It measures 60mm x 30mm x 40mm: The third is a possible phalange? Measures 38mm x 37mm x 18mm; Lastly, an oddball shaped one that I think may be the end of a limb bone? It measures 43mm x 37mm x 30mm; Thanks for looking, any comments would be appreciated! Jim W.

I think at least one is a horse tooth?

I found this 3.5 inch jaw bone with two blue teeth on the beach of New York bay. I thought cow or horse but I haven’t found a match. Bison was suggested but does seem likely from a geographic standpoint. Likely modern unfortunately. Your thoughts appreciated

I'm pretty new to fossil hunting except I've always have been fascinated with seeing all the cool stuff in large lots of river stone everywhere I go. Recently I started hunting geodes, other cool rocks and crystals and fossils. Last week I was out "hunting" in general and came across a running spring stream bed. This was on top of the rocks right next to the water. Cooler than any geode or rock that I would find. I'm in central Pennsylvania and I have a couple of ideas of what it might be from but I thought that I would ask the group. Thank you all in advance!

I had a killer day out on the Brazos...I'll be posting more, but wanted to start with this tooth. I got really excited when I picked it up thinking it was bison. Then I saw no stylid and got even more excited thinking it may be camel. Then I started looking at pictures and considering horse lower cheek tooth. The first picture shows one side that I think has sheered off. Now I am just not sure at all.

Went to my old faithful spot in GMR and found what I believe is Horse... I will let you experts tell if I am right or wrong (usually the case).. It is approximately 1 3/4 long. I researched on web and found some similar pics listed as horse but to me does not have the shape like horse. Let me know what you all think.. Thanks for looking... Jeff
