This is my first post so slowly navigating the site. This was the first fossil found by my Wife and I. Since then we have acquired more which I will share later.

I just dug this out of rain storm runoff, we live 30 miles inland from Cambria Ca. I was told we live in an area of whale fossils but am unsure. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I may be embarrassing myself here, but I can only learn if I ask. :-) I found a piece in the sandy gravel of South Texas that looks similar to dugong rib examples I've seen on the forum. While trying to identify it, I found an article online from October of 2020 that indicates people have found dugong fossils in Texas, but it seems like it's incredibly rare. I would think it may be especially unusual to find any this far inland. (Around Waller County, TX). But I do know that so far I've found a lot of pleistocene fauna fossils here that generally seem similar to what people find in the Peace River. So I figured I'll post it and see how off base I am. Dugong rib? Oddly rounded petrified wood? Weird black rock? It would be great to know. One broken end does seem to have 'growth rings' I've seen discussed in other parts. I'll put that picture first. But I may need to take a picture in full sunlight to really highlight it. @digit @Shellseeker Thanks! --Brandy

Found these in varying places in eastern Lincolnshire, England. Two were found in regular yard gravel and one was found on the beach. (Smallest to largest: 1.7cm, 2.8cm, 3.3cm)

Hi there. I'm a newbie with basically no experience in fossils, other than a great interest in natural history, past and present. I'm mostly here to learn, but I've an interest in fossil hunting if the right opportunity presents itself. My dad took us fossil hunting at Sharktooth Hill way back in the 60s, and that's the level of my experience. So...with that said, I'll begin delving into the content here. Looking forward to learning more.
