Hello everybody! Found that near kids sandbox in Prague, Czech Republic, in the city center. Sand and rocks from there are probably brought from some other area. But in this park, only few hundred meters from there some Trilobite fossils can be found. It was just laying on the ground. I think it can be a rock, but its very tooth looking rock. I am no expert in those things. It seems like there is a root. It's exactly 2cm from top to bottom. I can't find any shark tooth looking like that. Other animal? I tried my best in making those photos. But if you need some more details, I ll try. Let me know. I hope it will be fun for you to check it out. Thank you!

Are these fossils? And if so, what of? Found under Seacliff Bridge in New South Wales
spagbutcher posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone! I'm new to fossil hunting and I found a few interesting rocks underneath Sea Cliff Bridge near Wollongong in Australia. There was a lot of coal in the area for context. I will attach some photos of the rocks I found, I'm particularly interested in the small white (quartz??) lines intersecting the black part of the stone. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks

Hi again! I have a few pieces I need help with. Some of them I'm sure they are fossils, other not so much. All of them found in Maryland and Virginia (US) by the water. Thank you so much beforehand!!! PD - Sorry about my 'useless' coin but I don't have a printer or a measuring tape. The coin is 1 inch / 2.5 cm 1 - maybe some skin? 2 - bone, any ideas of what it might be? 3 - This one I don't know whether it is a fossil or not. 4 - I think this is just a funny-shaped rock 5 - A shell, a tooth? 6 - Some cetacean bones?

I found it around 100 yards from the beach in a forest in mid Wales I’m not really sure what it is but it would be interesting to know if anyone has any ideas.

Hope you folks are having a great summer so far. I recently was able to find some time to drive up to Jersey and wade through Big Brook and Ramanessin. Had a blast and found a few small teeh. Some in decent condition but nothing bigger than an inch or two. One of the few reasons ive been having trouble figuring this specific tooth out. Im assuming its a small if not piece of a mosasaur tooth, or a family member. Any help would be appreciated, and happy hunting!

Hello all, Need help ID this insect larva from the Eocene Green River Formation of Colorado. It's 1.5cm long, about 2cm if outstretched. As far as I can tell it has a series of large, bulbous protrusions spiraling along the length of its body, and one end has a sharp taper/point, though I'm not sure if that's the head or tail end. It has a very distinctive look so I feel like it would be recognizable if it's something that's been described before. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hello again. I have acquired some new specimens to expand my "collection" and I would like you to help me corroborate the identifications of these fossils. I have no idea what species the trilobite corresponds to, I only know that it is from Morocco. According to the seller, the tooth was collected north of Florida, in a Pleistocene stratum and corresponds to a Tapirus veroensis. Likewise, the "crocodile" tooth was collected in the Bone Valley Area, Florida, within the Pliocene substratum. The shark tooth was identified as belonging to "megalodon". And finally, the piece of jaw with the tooth was collected in France and corresponds to a plagiolophus minor. I would love to have your opinions regarding those identifications and if you could help me to better catalog the "crocodile" tooth (if and when possible). Thank you very much!

Hey all, I picked up these 2 ammonites too cheap to leave but the seller had no provenance. Ammonites and their genera / species are not something I know much about but a little research suggests they might be from Madagascar Can anyone tap in to their ammonite knowledge banks and help me out a bit? The darker one has an obvious little restoration work on the shell The other has a repair but overall they seem like really nice specimens Scale - CM

Hi there everyone! I thought I would ask for some help in properly identifying this specimen that I recently acquired. This specimen is said to be a baby/juvenile M. Columbi tooth found in North Florida. The specimen is very obviously worn and has pink patches due to algae buildup. I’ve included several photos below: Front, Right, Left, Bottom, Bottom, Top (Chewing surface), Top (Chewing surface). I’m fairly certain this is a mammoth tooth but I’d greatly appreciate a positive ID since I can’t find much information about specimens like this online. My real inquiry is identifying whether this specimen would be considered as a milk tooth and if it’s partial. From my understanding, it’s missing most of its root which would obviously make it partial, but I’ve highlighted a section in red where I would’ve thought the rest of the tooth would go. Thank you guys in advance! You all are always extremely insightful and I truly feel like a part of this community. Cheers!

I found this in my black gravel driveway in Dallas. It stuck out because it’s isn’t black. I’m guessing it was brought in from somewhere else, either in my driveway gravel, from the dirt below, or possible from sediment in old concrete. We’ve had a lot of rain lately, so it was probably uncovered from the rain. It is about 2” or 5cm long, about 3/4-1” or 2-2.5cm diameter, kind of wavy-cylindrical. It has a single, prominent hole on each end, kind of like a bead. It is heavy - I first thought it was metal. It has a sandstone-like texture. It looks finely porous, with tiny holes maybe, and some bigger holes. It has a prominent dividing line down the length with one half being a medium-light brownish red, and the other half a darker Black and Tan color. It looks tumbled/eroded. I just thought it was interesting with the hole and the weight, and I’d love to know what it is!

Last weekend I went on a camping trip to Westmoreland State Park in Virginia, somewhere I had fossil hunted previously and found some cool bones like a dolphin vert. This time, I found several bones that I believe might be able to be identified. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! All of the finds: A piece of whale bone, id'd through size: Rey Teeth: Continued in the next post due to upload issues

Hi there everyone! I acquired this plesiosaur tooth specimen from Oued Zem, Khouribga, Morocco not too long ago and I couldn't help but be fascinated by all of the different fossils found in the single piece of matrix. The front of the specimen contains a beautiful plesiosaur tooth with what I believe is a fish vertebrae and other fish material. On the back, the specimen is riddled with small shark teeth as seen by an exposed root and various exposed crowns. Though I'd greatly appreciate a positive ID on the plesiosaur tooth, I'm really more interested in the identification of the other fossils surrounding the tooth. I'm aware that accurately identifying the other fossils may be nigh impossible, but I'd love to hear what you guys think and I welcome any guesses you all may have just for the fun of it. Cheers, Rik

Hey my dad just found this in borne Texas, it’s about 10 inches long!

I purchased this with the misidentification of an unknown coral with no listed location. I've received an identification from a local museum of a fish dental plate from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco and was wondering if anyone here knew of a way to identify the genus of the fish.

Hi everyone, I bought this piece long ago and after last move I forgot it in a moving box. I just rediscovered it and I would like to know more about it. The seller said it was an Enchodus half jaw from Morocco Cretaceous. In my opinion : this is a real piece but perhaps an assemblage (just hope it is not a a complete Frankensteinsaurus). it is not Enchodus but it is definitely some kind of Halisaurus. I suspect there is a left dentary (?), a right surangular (??? probably glued piece) and 2 other bones (underneath the surangular and above jaw). I would be very happy to have your opinion and more information on this piece. Thanks for your help !

Found today at new spot in northern Minnesota, part of the cholera one formation. Not sure what it is exactly, possibly fossilized wood with worms or something.

My son found, what looks to us to be, a backbone in the rock, in the shallow water of a beach in Door County, WI. The first picture is the fossil in question, the others are other things we found interesting but less convinced they are fossils. I would estimate it to be about 15 to 18 inches in length. Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello fellow fossil fans, In this post I have a piece of bone I have found on zandmotor a few months ago. I know bone fragments are hard to ID. However I hope that perhaps because of its distinctive shape any of you could give me an idea of what it could be. thanks in advance!

I’m currently at a pay site, collecting Bone Valley fossils. An individual next to me found this bone fragment, can someone identify what it is? It looks familiar, but what it is is not coming to mind right now. @Shellseeker
