This tooth came out of the mud shattered and I reassembled the pieces I had. It was found in Florida's Peace River in a mix of miocene and pleistocene material. It measures approx. 2.25" wide x 2.25" long x 3/8" thick.

A Cromer forest bed UK mammal bone find I believe to be Equine. Not sure how it came to be or it's approximate age at present but I thought you would like to see it.

Hi people I am new to the whole fun of fossil collecting. I have found some fossils and one of them I posted in the fossil identity thread. I collect fossilized wood and whatever else I can find in the rivers around here plus when I travel. I will be poking around the forum trying to figure it out a bit. Please go look at my fossil I posted in the id section and let me know what you think. Thank you

Hello everyone, I noticed a sweet smell coming from my ice age mammoth fossils. Any idea what it may be? Thanks, Jay

Hello everyone! Behold the only tooth in my collection that doesn't belong to a dinosaur. . My daughter purchased it a few few years ago at the fossil show in Edison, New Jersey. Unfortunately, I've committed the cardinal sin of fossil collecting and lost the card with the name of the animal and the location it which is was found. The only thing I remember is that it was an Ice Age Hippopotamus and that it was found in Germany. Thanks so much for your help! More photos coming!

So I was on a sandbar on the republican river today and found these, along with several others. I think they may be bison bones, possibly ice age, (this is in NE Kansas) but could you guys help out? Thanks. I will upload more pictures soon. PS each piece is about 3 inches on the long lost side and around 1 inch wide (the first one is about 3/4 inches thick), and I haven't cleaned them yet

I was walking a Northeast Kansas sandbar today and found these with several other pieces. I think these might be from the ice age or more rencent, perhaps part of an old bison skeleton. I could use some help here, I'll upload more pictures. The specimen is about 3 inches long, 1 inch tall and 1 inch thick.

Hi, 1st time post here, been collecting fossils like ammonites, chrinoids, trilobites etc for a while, but I came across a couple of fossils at a curio shop and was looking for help with ID, the owner of the shop found them near Whitby bay alongside other "ice age" fossils and estimated age at around 10,000BC. There is a large bone, around 13 inches in length and pretty thick and weighty, the best guess he could give me was part of an ox or bison leg, but curious if anyone can shed more light for me, would be interesting to know which bone and which animal The second one is clearly a mandible, he didn't give me any information but by looking appears to have belonged to a wild pig/boar, but not sure as it's not a complete jawbone, only about a 6 inch section and any more help would be great. Apologies for the pictures, had to take them on my phone and the camera isn't brilliant and have a few extras from different angles if people need. Many thanks for any light anyone can shed on them in advance.

It's been a while since I posted my collection. And many things have changed since then, Many new fossils as well as creations of my own. Here's an overview of the fossils I have on display as of 2015 On the left shelf from the top. First there's Ice Age megafauna from the North Sea including Woolly Mammoth scapula and jaw as well as a Horse foot with a homemade stand. Below that is a complete neck of a Woolly Rhino, a Cave Lion and a giant snail. Next I have some recent material. Then there's my Jurassic material with some ammonites and a replica of the original Pterodactylus holotype. Below that are my Devonian Trilobites and at the bottom are Trilobites and Orthocones from the lower Ordovician of Kinnekulle, Sweden. I haven't changed much on the left side in recent times so I haven't made any closeup photos. But if you guys want I can still make those. Then there's the right side where I've added a lot of new things. As some of you may know I sometimes make sculptures of skulls from foam. So on the top shelf I have my pride and joy. A lifesize sculpture of a subadult Gorgosaurus libratus skull. Next to it I have a real Gorgosaurus tooth from Alberta and a replica of a T. rex tooth. Under it I have my prettiest Kem Kem fossils. From the left: Spinosaurus tooth, Carcharodontosaurus tooth, Onchopristis tooth, Abelisaurid tooth and some dinosaur bones. Here I have on the left replicas of Mongolian dinosaurs, Velociraptor skull and killing claw, Oviraptor egg and baby Psittacosaurus skeleton. In the back is a real piece of petrified wood from China. On the right I have other Canadian dinosaurs that go with my Gorgosaurus. A subadult Maiasaura skull replica and a sculpture of the baby Parasaurolophus "Joe" which I made. Don't you just love baby dinosaurs? Here's a scan I made of the Maiasaura skull using Photogrammetry. This shelf houses my my creepy critters from the Cretaceous cavernous depths. Mostly Mosasaur material with some Belemnites, Shark teeth and Zarafasaura. In the back is the only replica on the shelf. A lower jaw of a Platecarpus ptychodon. Then there are three jaw pieces which I all prepped. On the left there is a Prognathodon dentary that I repaired from 8 pieces. In the middle there's a small piece of a rare Halisaurus walkeri dentary and on the right there is a piece of Prognathodon pterygoid jaw. I also have some Globidens, Mosasaurus beaugei and Prognathodon sp. teeth While not shown on the shelf. I have another nice Mosasaur jaw with several other fragments that belong with it. I've scanned it here and mirrored the pieces to create a rough shape with where they should be. Though the quadrate bone should technically be a lot farther back. And also a scan of one of my Zarafasaura oceanis teeth. Also not in the cabinet since it's too long at almost a metre in length. My lifesize sculpture of a Bambiraptor skeleton. All completely homemade. And then there's the latest adition. For as a graduation present I got a Woolly Rhino skull replica!

Hello, my name is Cathy and I was recommended to your site by Carl Mehling of the American Museum of Natural History. I found a jaw fragment in the surf on Holgate Beach in New Jersey. He feels that it may be from a bison or musk ox dating to the Ice Age. Does anyone have any further information? Thank you!

I'm hoping some of you have experience with the company and product my question is about. Can anyone tell me if this item looks like authentic Mammoth Fur/hair? I don't know anything about it except that most stuff advertised is actually Yak fur. The dealer has perfect e-bay feedback with over 2200 replies, and apparently she works fossil shows. The colors in this photo are very accurate to what I see when I look at it in my home under a daylight lamp. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I don't know if posting a link to e bay or mentioning the dealer by user ID is allowed, so I will wait to hear from you guys before doing that. Thanks in advance!

Pleistocene era fauna of NJ has been poorly studied and documented. Most specimens are found as the result of erosion offshore. Occasionally a rare specimen is found on land eroded into stream beds. Complete in situ specimens are rarely found. The scientific community has produced little documentation which would be useful in identifying specimens. Species definitively documented are Moose-elk, caribou, mastodon, mammoth, walrus, giant ground sloth and giant beaver. Ice age species common in other areas of the country which are of questionable ice age president in NJ are horse, camel, tapir, peccary, deer. Almost all the Pleistocene specimens at the NJ State Museum are donations from non-professionals. Collectors have contributed much of what is available for study in NJ public institutions. I suspect the range and extent of NJ ice age fauna could be expanded by more serious scientific study. There are most likely a wide range of specimens in private collections which their owners would be glad to make available for study.

Bought this deer cannon bone (lower front leg) at my favorite shop on the Jersey Shore. The specimen was dredged from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean east of Cape May, NJ by a clam harvesting boat. The bone measures 9 1/2 inches long. This is the second specimen I have seen found along the same area of the NJ coast. This is the problem inherent in identifying presumably fossil remains of animals still living in the region. Offshore dumping is always a consideration but in this case not likely because the bone is not from a domestic animal. Two papers one published by the NJ State Museum, the other in a paleontology journal article about Pleistocene fauna of New Jersey do not include deer of any species. Interestng?

From the album: Jerry's Really Old Stuff
I took this picture at a thrift store where fishermen working on the clam and scallop trawlers out of Cape May NJ occasionally bring fossils to sell. This is a rare fossil section of caribou antler found off shore. I hesitate buying the rare fossil and when I came to my senses it had been sold when I returned. Caribou fossils are exceptionally rare in this area, very few examples having been found. The thrift store regularly had mastodon teeth and I've bought two and unwisely left other ice age bones.... -
Always keeping an eye out for potential Pleistocene stuff I spotted this large slippage of flints and orange sediments at the Lower Chalk cliffs near Ventnor on the Isle Of Wight whilst looking for Ammo's and Sharks teeth etc. I was wondering whether anyone could possibly identify if this is a slippage of river gravels or not. Any help would be really appreciated.
