Can you help identify this bone/fossil found on Lake Huron beach?
Mulholland posted a topic in Fossil ID
The other week I found a bone(left) on a Lake Huron beach (Ontario, Canada). The bone is roughly 2.5cm tall and 3cm wide, 1cm thick. To the right of the bone is a "rock" I found yesterday. I felt it looked too similar to the bone I had found. Here they are back to back. Does anyone know what kind of bone this is? And does anyone know if the specimen to the right is infact a fossil, or is it just a rock? Hopefully this is structured well enough. If you have more questions please ask! This is my first post here so thanks for having me. - Chris

Hi everyone! I am brand new to fossil hunting and have two new fossils that I found today. I know pretty much nothing about them and I’m hoping someone can tell me what they are! They were found on the beach at Lighthouse Park in Port Huron, at Lake Huron/the mouth of the St. Clair River. I’m a little more interested in Fossil #1 (I labeled them in the photos), so there are a few extra photos of that one. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated, I am dying of curiosity!

Hello! This (potential?) fossil was found down at lake Huron by Goderich Ontario, Canada. It was given to me by someone else because the pattern is reminiscent of a spider web. I'm more of an arachnid collector than a fossil collector, so I have no idea where to begin with this one! I hoped someone would have an idea of what it is, if it's a fossil at all! It's about 1 inch and 1/3rd in diameter, and roughly one half 2/3rds of an inch 'tall' when laid flat. It may be difficult to tell from the images, but the 'front' dips inwards towards the center. I hope that helps in addition to the images.

We recently went camping in Port Huron, MI and found 7 sharks teeth. Last year a boy found a megalodon tooth in the port Huron river. We were near Lake Huron. Crazy right?!?

My family and I found 2 ENORMOUS slabs of what I think is Fossile Hash. Though the stones are large I think they washed up recently. I took tons of pictures, but they’re not that great! I wasn’t sure what I was looking at, but it was easy to make out a few fossils knstantly. The more I look the more I see! It took me 3 hours on the internet to find the term Fossile Hash, I have almost 0 knowledge to share with my kids on this! I will try to upload a few pictures! Would this even be considered Fossil Hash? Are any of the fossils identifiable from the pictures? I know you can’t take anything more than 25 pounds (and would be a heck of a feat) But what if a piece broke off lol Thanks in advance for your help!!

This is another one I found on the beach in upper Michigan. Devonian and about one half inch long. Slightly raised off rock. Wondering if it’s a fossil or not. Thanks!

Hello. While vacationing along Lake Huron in Michigan, I found a rather impressive, and likely rare, fossil (see image). It is clearly a vertebrate with skull, spine, appendages, and pelvic region relatively intact and clearly visible. The specimen is approximately 2 inches by 2 inches in size. Any advice or direction, as to whom I should contact to identify/analyze my find would be most appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

A total newbie here looking for an ID. Thoughts?

Some more coral from Lake Huron. Same genus as the Hexagonaria, or a different genus? I found two different individuals. I've got pictures of them both.

I found this rock at a beach at Lake Huron. It has a net-like covering. Is this actually a fossil?
-
A pretty neat little fossil from the coast of Lake Huron, Michigan. Two individuals, one on each side. Possibly Mesozoic in age.

I found this while looking for fossils off the coast of Lake Huron. A local Geologist said that some of his friends had found dinosaur teeth in that area, so maybe Mesozoic in age?

Of the fossils I collected last summer, there was a group of specimens that stood out because of their gray/orange coloration. The photos, unfortunately, don't give you any depth perception, so it's hard to see the curves and grooves. I'm pretty sure it's a sort of solitary coral, but I'm pulling my hair out, searching everywhere to find similar images, but to no avail. These were collected in the same area on Lake Huron this summer. What do you think they are?

Rock with faultline cracked open revealing unknown fossil
Hands is stone posted a topic in Fossil ID
Brought back a stone with a fault line on it from the shore of southern Lake Huron. Broke it open with a chisel and hammer to reveal an ultra thin shell like fossil. I wonder if someone can help me identify it.

Good day all, Like I've mentioned in my introduction post, I've found some interesting pieces, in my opinion, that I'd like you guys to peruse. Thanks and have fun.
