Here is a large bone from my small collection. Again, it belonged to a fossil collector here in the UK but I don't know anything other than that. Many thanks!

Hello, I found this fossil in South Central Kansas, 20 miles north of Oklahoma border. A pond was dredged and this was found on a sand pile. Could someone please help me identify it?

This vertebra was found at an estate sale in a box of rocks in Minnesota. It is partially mineralized, but I don't believe it is mineralized enough to be much older than Pleistocene. I realize it is fairly damaged but does anybody have reasonable guess as to what it might be from?

heZZ posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, i found this fossil for sale and i'm curious is it real, how much original bone is present and has the picture been edited? -
I recently bought this piece of fossil bone at a bookstore in Tucson AZ. My guess is that someone had originally bought it at the Tucson gem and mineral show and then sold or traded it at the bookstore. I don't know anything about its original geographic origin. I had a friend test it with his Geiger counter and it gives off a fair amount of radiation compared to the background. I thought it maybe could be a plesiosaur fin bone because of the way it flairs out but I honestly have no idea. Any help identifying what species this fossil bone came from would be greatly appreciated.

What is considered Large, for a Fossil Crocodile Tooth?
Rock Hound posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
At what size, do you consider fossil Crocodile teeth to be Large? I do recognize that the answer will be dependent upon the particular species, but in general; what is a Large Croc tooth? -
I’m looking to get some info on this. Which I found in central Ohio.

Found this large bivalve/clam in the new creek bed spot I discovered. As mentioned in a previous post, the spot is mainly Great Valley complex sedimentary rocks (Cretaceous), but also bordering Eocene sedimentary, Miocene sedimentary, and some intrusion of Pleistocene alluvium known. This was free-floating. These type of white clam fossils are relatively common in the SF Bay Area, but this is by far the largest I've found. Can anybody speculate as to how rare this size/quality of specimen is? It measures 48mm x 45mm x 37mm and quite dense/heavy. Any taxonomical speculation would be appreciated

Found this tooth in a place where all the teeth are whiteish with lightning streaks (acidic). This "tooth" was found where several other teeth were found. E.g.. Megs, GW, and makos. All but a few show signs of sever breakdown. I included an additional pic of more teeth found there for reference. Thoughts??

Fifty years ago my friend found this tooth on the beach near Vancouver. She has always wondered what animal it belongs to. In the picture with two teeth the smaller is from moose remains we found while hiking on a mountain.

Found what seems like a partial skull and possibly an ear bone. Southeast Texas. Never found anything like this before, but the darker smaller segment reminded me of ear bone threads I have seen. The size and general shape of the darker 'ear bone' sent me in the mammoth direction, but I'm not confident in it.

Hello, been a while since I've been online, but getting back into the fossil world! Here is a specimen that is about 4 inches on a large rock that I would like to try an extract. Does this look like a trilobite to you all? Eastern MO.

Found this on the beach in the outer banks, NC. The tusk or tooth part is 6-7 inches long. We have no idea what this could be and would welcome any help with the ID. Thanks!

Hello I found this about 6 meters deep in clay and wasn't sure what it is and wanted some help. Thanks

I found what looks to be a large bone fragment with bite marks
Travis Duggins posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found what looks to be a large dinosaur fossil fragment with bite marks of some sort on it. What type of animal would this be? And what caused these marks? -
First I want to say hi to everyone! Been picking up rocks and poking around in hillsides since I was a kid. Until recently I mostly had no idea what I was looking at.. but I’ve always been really good at finding goodies. With that, I’d like to share some things I’ve found in the last couple of weeks! There is a quarter on there somewhere! This is one of the smaller plates that have washed out. This is not Sugar Creek. The creek was high from the recent rain, but the last time I was on the other side, that shelf

Hello thanks taking the time to view my post, a good friend ask me if I could help him out with this Fossil so I joined Up. This was dredged up off the coast of Cape May New Jersey. Any information on it would be greatly appreciated. regards joe

This is a tooth? I found over fifty years ago and I don’t remember where. Picked up all kinds of things then.. I lived close to Palo Duro canyon in Texas at the time but often looked for fossils and rocks in Az, Nm, Co,Ut. On summer trips. the length of the item is 8.5-9”, diameter 2.5”. Insides possibly looks like dentin. New to forum so please excuse any mistakes I make, and thank you.

Hi All This is my first posting so I'm not exactly sure of how to go about things - if I get something wrong I am sure someone can point me in the right direction. I started collecting in my teens - a long time ago, and used to pick up rocks, fossils and minerals from wherever I could, including market stalls and collecting. One of the items I have is a large and heavy piece of fossilised bone. I've never done anything about getting it identified but would like to start now. Can someone point me in the right direction please. OK, as an amendment I should have read the

Re: "The Thing." The subject item was found in an old flower bed in our backyard a few years ago. Provenance is unknown. It is likely part of a collection of someone in Pass Christian, MS, at the time of Hurricane Katrina. Enormous damage from 23'+ storm surge. Entire structures including a large were obliterated. That said, can anyone identify the object in the attached images? Measurements are 6" x 8" x 3.5." I've consulted with two potters who have said that this is not man-made. I appreciate any help you can offer.

This is my very first post on The Fossil Forum. I was hoping for some experts to weigh in on what exactly are these fossils. I picked them from a lake shore in Central Texas. Can you please tell me the species? What are the approximate ages for these? Why did they go extinct? Thank you for all of your help. Dubs

This is a fossil I found at my great grandmother's house in Benjamin utah. The fossil probably didn't originate from that exact location. But was probably still from Utah. The flat side of the slice is clearly porous. There is also a tendon or something else running through the side of the fossil. I'm hoping to get further information than what I know.
