I had found this in east central Ohio, Darke County. It was found on land, but there is a wetland about ¼ mile from where I found this. Not sure if it's a tooth or not and if it is a tooth even what it would be from...but it just seemed more tooth-like than other things I've found...

Hello and thank you for letting me join your forum. My name is Lindsey and today my family went to Big Brook in NJ for the first time, looking for some shark teeth. We found some interesting things and we've got no idea where to even start with identifying the things we bought home. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for your help and I hope you're all having a great week. Lindsey.

A few weeks ago I completed a road trip from New Jersey to Texas for work and although Hurricane Ida sadly canceled nearly all of my plans, I was able to sneak in a couple quick fossil collecting stops. One such stop was at an outcrop of the Oligocene Vicksburg Group in Mississippi. I was primarily looking for echinoids- I sadly did not find any- but ended up finding this small shark tooth. I am by no means an expert on shark teeth and have tried in vain to research Oligocene sharks of Mississippi. Does anyone know what shark this tooth is from or of a good resource where I might be able to figure it out? It strikes me as similar to photos of Carcharhinus gibbesi from the Chandler Bridge Formation (see D in attached photo). Any help is greatly appreciated!

Helotes, Tx Part of this shell was sticking out of a chunk of sediment. I used a water pick to clear the rest of it. In trying to determine what kind of shell it is, I’ve found several that are similar, but none with the shell spiral as tight. The closest thing that I could find is below. This doesn’t seem correct considering my location. Placostylus porphyrostomus is a species of large air-breathing land snail, a pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Bothriembryontidae. This species is endemic to New Caledonia.

Hello to all of you guys, I´m a newbie to the forum, so i would like to before anything, say hi to everyone here And with that already said, i would need some help with the identification of some fossils of Elasmobranchii, that I have seen near the coast of south central Chile. The fossils are 2 teeth and something else that I´m unable to ID correctly (I think maybe a vertebra? or some weird gastropod). The age of the sandstone that contains these should be around the Upper Paleocene. The fisrt tooth I think is from some (I think) sand tiger shark (something near Carcharias), and correspond to an upper lateral or near upper posterior position. My best shots right now around this are some sp. of Carcharias, Brachycarcharias, and even Striatolamia but for me it would not be weird if its something else. Here the photos (each segment of the scale is a milimeter): And the second one is, for me, some lateral tooth of a Paraorthocodus, but not sure about the sp. of it. Should be somewhere near P. eocaenus or P. clarkii?. Here the images: Finally, the misterious one. Here the photo: thanks for reading, and help would be very nice (sorry if my english is not the best)

I found these teeth a little north of north Myrtle and need help figuring out what they are
tinkerdragon123 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found almost 75 teeth at Holden beach, just north of north Myrtle, but there are a few I can't identify. By the way the teeth are a little larger than they look in the picture. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Novice here- we live in Western Colorado where many fossils are found. I found this after a rain storm at the base of a small gulley. It’s the size of a golf ball, there are striations in the dimples which don’t come across well in my photos. I haven’t taken the time to clean it, as I’m not sure the best way and dont want to damage it. Any ID?

We were walking along the beach to the north shore light house on block island (part of Rhode Island). I picked up several really cool rocks but this one is the best. I think it is a plant fossil but could not find anything close online. It also has sparkly metallic or crystal content throughout. Any ideas what this is?

Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum and would really appreciate some help identifying a fossil that my son found last week in mid-wales, Upper Gilwern Hill Quarry, Powys. It was found in the same strata of slate with trilobites that the quarry is famous for. multiple photos attached. Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help identify it.

So, this bone was collected by me earlier in the summer from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. Upon collecting this bone I had thought that it was a Triceratops (or other Ceratopsid, I suppose) phalanx based on the shape and my memory of seeing pictures online. I was pretty confident in this ID up until a few days ago, and the following are throwing me: 1. This bone seems really big for a Triceratops phalanx. The other examples I can find online are not this large, but then again Triceratops was a pretty big animal and I’ve underestimated its size before. 2. It’s hard to tell because it is very weathered, but the shape isn’t quite a good of a fit as for a trike phalanx as I had initially thought. Also, the underside of the bone is heavily eroded, which I hadn’t noticed before as I had yet to clean all the mud/matrix off of it. So, I’m posting this here in the hope of getting a few more looks from some other people. Let me know what your thoughts are, and thank you in advance! Obligatory tag of @Troodon Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone, A few months ago I hosted the wonderful Sara the Travelling Ceratopsian and as such I received a set of fossils (and of course contributed some of my own to the box). I selected this set of New York trilobite pieces as I have literally no experience with trilobites and it's nice to add a whole new group to my collection . The label says there are 5 trilobite pieces on 3 different bits of rock (however there are 6 I think). 3 bits are ID'd as Eldredgeops rana from the Wanakah Shale, Hamilton Group, Buffalo, NY. Middle Devonian The other 2 are Cryptolithus cephalons from the Whetstone gulf formation, Lorraine Group, Lewis County, NY. Late Ordovician. My guess, by looking at the label locations that 1 & 2 must be the Cryptolithus cephalons Can anyone confirm please?

I found this rock on the edge of the hill in my backyard in Helotes, Tx. The previous heavy rains have exposed a lot on my hillside. I am in sure what the wood looking pieces are in pictures 3&4. If anyone is familiar, that would be great.

Mystery Piece Found Along With Edestus Teeth Illinois Coal Mine Carboniferous
Kurufossils posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, this strange piece came with a batch of edestus fossils that were found in a coal mine in Illinois. Have no idea what it could be, the front seems to be coated in black coal mostly while the back has what appears to be ridges. All I know about the location is it was found in a coal mine along with some edestus teeth that is Carboniferous in age. Hoping with some help to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Big brook, NJ bone fragment find. Anyone have any ideas what part it is? Process is very porous and brittle. Light weight low density. There are 2 foramens and possibly a partial of a 3rd along the same ridge line the others follow. I tried comparing it to mammal vertebrae and skull bones. I thought the foramens would provide enough anatomy to pin point an ID but not successful. Attached are images. Please excuse the remaining purplish clay I used trying to reconstruct.
