Help!? This looks like it's a carved figure. It was found in southern California in a very old area known to contain mammoth and ancient American Indian and mezo American finds. Last photos show area where it was dug and the site shows unnatural looking rock outlays. Could it be a Dino!!! Thanks for any insight on this find. I am completely new And hooked regardless.

I found this large 6 lb fossil rock at a creek in Middle Tennessee. I'm having trouble identifying what type or types of fossils. I would appreciate any help! Thank you

Hello I found this at my local beach in Dorset yesterday. I've told my 6-year old that it's a dinosaur bone but my wife is very doubtful. Does anyone have any ideas to back me up? Many thanks

Hello wonderful fossil-people! If you and you're gang enjoy solving a groovy mystery, I have a post for you! This rock was found in an area of Northern Arizona that is very well know for producing lots and lots of bryozoan, brachiopod, and crinoid fossils, as well as crystals and geodes. The bit of rock in question was found in the side of what appears to be a broken geode. There is a triangular fragment of stone that does not match the material surrounding it. There is also a white discoloration encompassing the triangle that I've highlighted in green on one of the photos below. The colors in the 3rd photo are a little more true to what it looks like in real life. The geode is kind of a pink-ish color and the triangle "fossil" is a dark brown/reddish color. Given the abundance of marine fossils found in the same location, I wonder if this is also fossil. It just seems so out of place in this rock. I have oodles of bryozoan, brachiopod, & crinoids that I've found in the same location and I can share pictures of these, if it somehow helps So what do you think, fossil or random bit of stone? If it is a fossil give me your best guess as to what it might be... or even give me your worst guess. I'm not picky lol.

Not to long ago I got a gorgosaur tooth as shown on my other post strange juvenile gorgosaurus tooth when I was studying it I did some research to make sure it’s a gorgosaur tooth I found out there are ways to indentify tyrannosaur teeth from Canada and Montana the main way is the cross section if the cross section is fat more like a circle it’s a despletosaurus if it’s more skinnier more oval shaped it’s a gorgosaur also another way is the size if it’s more then 3 inches it’s despletosaurus if it’s 3 inches or less it’s probably a gorgosaur or a small despletosaurus tooth the top tooth is a despletosaurus then the cross sections the first cross section is a despletosaurus see it looks more like a circle then the gorgosaur more of a oval then the gorgosaur tooth

Hello, this trilobite was found in rock from somewhere upstate new york. It was an interesting shape different from what I have found before but it is very worn to tell exactly what it is to my knowledge, is it to broken up to id? If not I'll let the new york trilobite experts here take this one. The trilo measures a little over an inch.

I bought this turtle skull. I was apprehensive about its authenticity, so I took it to a museum that housed similar specimens. The man I spoke with spent time looking it over with all sort of magnifying objects. (Obviously you can tell I'm not a collector, I just thought this piece was interesting.) The man told me it was authentic. I want some second opinions, and if you also think it is authentic, then are you able to distinguish and classify its species for me? Help would be greatly appreciated. I took several pictures but for some reason the site is only letting me upload one. Other photos will be in the comment section.

Hello, I bought this dinosaur fossil a while back and have tried to figure out it's id. I was told it is from Alberta and think it's part of leg bone but not sure if it is hadrosaur or theropod? It is pretty large about the size of a football that is why I am thinking it is part of a leg bone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Recently found several bones on a beach in south Florida, curious as to what animal they may have belonged to. All of these bones were found within 10 feet of each other at low tide. Possibly all belong to the same animal? Particularly interested in what animal the vertebrae and large triangle shaped bone were from. Hand included in photos for size reference. Thanks in advance.

My daughter found this only partially embedded in the ground on the built part of a man made pond. It had grass growing around it. It is approx. 10" long and 4 1/2" tall. Anyone have any ideas? Is it just sediment of some kind?
