    Skull or joint piece

    Found this one in the water near Fossil Beach at Westmoreland State Park. Very smooth on one side. Any suggestions? Is it a skull piece or maybe a joint piece?
  2. I found this walking out by my house in Vermilion County, Illinois about 7-8 years ago. I collect rocks and other things I find interesting when I go out to hike. I’ve been keeping a pile of rocks like this one and I’d like to see if anyone can identify it? It is very heavy and the little ball like structure on the inside is very odd. I’ve tried doing research but can’t find anything. I have taken a guess that it might be a ball and socket joint to something? I’m open to suggestions? Thanks
  3. I am sorry, I know next to nothing about fossils and most bones. I do think this is a fossil because the little areas that look like stippling are porous like the inside of a bone and the other areas are really smooth like they have been rubbed against. I could be way off base here, but I just don't know. I found this at North Topsail Beach in North Carolina, March 6, 2022.

    Fossil ID from Venice Beach FL

    I need help identifying what this guy is. I found it on Venice Beach in Florida. The first photo is the top view, then side views, then a lime next to it for Scale. Thanks!
  5. I have had this for a few years, and can't remember where it came from or when it arrived. It has been left out on our porch for most of the last decade, mixed in with a few other interesting rocks we've found. Never really paid much attention to it until recently when I realized it may be a piece of fossilized bone from a joint. There appears to be some evidence of cartilage attached at the top, and it does look like bone structure on the opposite end. I'll invite you to have a look yourself.

    Picked up at a rock shop

    Hello all, I'm not even sure if this is a fossil to begin with, as I'm an amateur fossil hunter. I found this piece in a rock shop called 'Prospector's Paradise', near the center of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. After talking to the shop owner, it sounds like it could have been found in the Northern part of the Keweenaw. It is possible that he did not find the piece himself, and could come from a different location. I apologize in advance, because it is not much to go on, and it's not a big deal if it can't be solved. The reason I thought it might be a fossil is because one side is smooth and rounded (like a ball-joint that might connect the humerus to the scapula), and because the parts that have been chipped off show a spongey interior (like a medullary cavity). It's possible that it's just a strangely shaped rock, but it would be exciting if it were some sort of fossil. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
  7. Hello, I found this joint end of a bone in a spoil pile. It has nice brown color and it is NOT dense. Underside shows fibrous area. I have found Equus and whale bone, and deer antler in this area as well as Meg teeth. I read Hulbert's book and my speculation was a ankle bone of some type or phalange. I can see where it might be from a piece of humerus. fossil is 3 cm high and 4 cm wide. Assistance appreciated. - Michael

    Fossilized bone?

    Hi! I found what looks like a fossil of a bone. It looks to me to actually be the ball that would go in the socket. If it is a bone, would there be any way of identifying what animal it came from? I live in Northwest Indiana. Thank you.

    Is this a ball joint fossil?

    I found it in Latvia (Europe), near Broceni, on my land. Excavator was digging pebbles and rocks for road repair, and about 2 meters deep I spotted this stone which looked interesting. Some of the other stones around contain small shell imprints. And at the depth of about 4 meters there is Zechstein rocks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechstein As I understand that means that millions of years ago there was a sea, where I am digging my rocks now. Please take a look at that piece of rock and tell me what you think, could it be a fossil? https://photos.app.goo.gl/VXCZtHJ1Jej9SiJy7 Thank you.
  10. This was found behind my house in the woods in western TN, just outside Memphis. It looks to me to be the shape of a joint of some kind, and the underside has clear structures that look like marrow.

    Newbie here- what is this?

    Hi all! I was fossil hunting yesterday and came across this mysterious piece. Being new, I am not 100% sure what it is but I believe it's a joint of a mammal... possibly camel or horse? It's only an inch and a half or so tall. I was wondering if someone could identify it for me? Thank you!

    Possible cetacean?

    Hi folks. I found this in a river in south Georgia where there are miocene/eocene fossils. Cetaceans are found here fairly regularly. The flat portion is broken in a weird way, but I'm thinking maybe this is part of a scapula? Thanks very much for looking at it.

    Mammoth Footsy?

    I recieved this Mammoth bone several years back and assumed it to be a part of the leg, but would appreciate a final ID on the location. Is it this portion of the foot? It looks like there was one on the table of big bones at the MAPS show Nimravis took a picture of.
