Found in West Texas (Rocksprings, Texas.. Sutton county). Found this while walking a ranch. Pretty sure it's a bobcat mandible, but wanted confirmation since I'm new at this. Anything helps!

Wanting to confirm if this piece found in the Jurassic Coast is a fossil.
Dolan posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this stone while hiking along clay cliffs in the Jurassic Coast England after heavy rain. Hoping to confirm if it is indeed a fossil or just an unusual looking stone. -
Hello, this slab is from the Kope Formation, particularly Upper Alexandria sub-member within Delhi Township, Ohio. I am unsure if these rounded "structures" are bryozoans, echinoderms, or brachiopods, but i'm leaning more toward bryozoans. Fauna on the slab include: -Cincinnaticrinus, Ectenocrinus -Retrosirostra OR Dalmanella (hard to distinguish) -Bythopora -Isotelus, Flexicalymene -Ambonychia If anyone has an idea as to what the round objects are, please comment! Thank you! EDIT: I now believe these are individual cephalopod chambers that were filled with hash. I credit a fellow UC student!!! Now I wonder if anyone else thinks similarly.

Hi All, I have a bunch of brachiopods that got separated from their data and was hoping someone here might be able to restore some of it. They are apparently Paleozoic and likely from the US midwest. I see probable productids and maybe rhynconellids in there, but my knowledge of brachiopods is pretty limited. I strongly suspect they are all from one locality. Any help with locality, age, or taxa would be greatly appreciated! Best, Carl

I was on the Oregon coast near Newport and found this really odd looking rock. I've scoured the internet and have seen nothing like it. Even the Google image search feature came up with nothing. Help!!!

Differentiating Centrosaurine from Chasmosaurine tooth crowns?
Opabinia Blues posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I recall reading on the boards somewhere before that hadrosaur tooth crowns can sometimes be assigned to either the Lambeosaurinae or the Saurolophinae if enough of the crown is present. I was wondering if the same can be said for ceratopsid teeth? Can ceratopsid teeth from localities in which members of both subfamilies are known ever be identified down to subfamily? This question was prompted by both general curiosity and by the fact that I occasionally see isolated ceratopsid teeth sold down to the generic level (ie, one seller who has listings for Avaceratops, Judiceratops, and Medusaceratops spitters), and although I am almost certain you cannot make a generic-level identification of isolated teeth it does make me wonder whether or not these "identifications" could be based on subfamily designation? And if so, what's the diagnostic character/s for each? -
Over a year ago, I blindly purchased a large impressive-looking tooth from a seller who didn't even know its ID simply because it was cheap. On arrival it broke, and after consulting the forum and facebook groups, the general consensus was that it was fake. Even museum curators I respected told me that it was a crocodile tooth joined to a fake root by someone who tried to emulate a mammal one. Having been (apparently)scammed and feeling snarge lousy, I was >| |< this close to throwing the fake root into the bin. But one other collector who bought from the same seller was vehement we had something real, so I decided to keep this tooth a little longer. (Post continues below)

Hello. I found these on a Croatian island - they don't strike me as one of their regular Jurassic finds, as it appears to be more inside a fault of petrified red soil amidst the abundant limestone. They look kinda "new". Can anyone tell me what they are? I found them on two locations. Not a geologist, so no idea. Whale and other large marine life bones? Polished by the sea? After some seizmic event?

Before I post a trip report, I was hoping to get a few IDs that are giving me some trouble. First up are possible insects. 1. Crane Fly?? 2. positive and negative. Bee?? 3. Has the termite feel!! 4. Another Crane Fly Now what appear to me to be plant oriented material. 5. I am torn between three leaf clover (but how would that end up in a lake), or a flower, or a seed pod cluster. 6. Total unknown 7. Finally this confusing specimen. Great symmetry so must be something!

Picked this up on the foreshore on Mappleton beach (Holderness Coast, East Yorkshire, United Kingdom). I thought it looked like a poo and wondered if it was indeed a coprolite?

A few days were spent in the Green River Formation collecting fossil leaves and insects. Now comes the momentous task of identifying my finds. I have piece mealed together some information that has helped a bit. BUT by no means am I happy with my results. Does anyone know of a great guide or article which would help someone like me make proper IDs. Thanks, Mike

Long story short my grandmother use to order fossils from a website. She would keep some of the authentication certificates because I was so young at the time of receiving these. When she had passed I learned she lost almost all of the paperwork. I've been struggling to identify these with such little information to go off of. Any help is greatly appreciated. First image to last: - Small roughly 1'' tooth - Was thought to be plesiosaur tooth but it looks slightly different then the confirmed plesiosaur tooth I own - unknown -wrist or ankle of some sort, mammoth or mastodon -unknown

Hello everyone, happy to have discovered this forum ! I'm french and was in Grand canyon for Holliday's, a week ago and during a hike I found this grey stone among all the red ones. It looks like a tooth by its form and the surface is cracked as old ivory. It is very different from all other stones I saw on the place. Could you help me to identify it with your experienced eyes ? Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
