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.

We have many wonderful threads that let members show off some of their fossils. Threads like “Fossil du Jour” and your “Latest Mail Box Score.” In that same spirit, I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to share examples of some of their BIG fossils. It could be as simple as the largest fossil in your collection, or the largest example you have of a certain type of fossil. Just as long as you would in some way consider them to be on the large side. I’ll go first. This is the largest fossil in my collection. It's a piece of petrified wood. Its roughly 15in long x 14i

I have this large bone from the KemKem basin in my collection and was wondering if anyone can identify it? I know little about Cretaceous fossils. The fossil is quite one sided so the other side doesn’t show any structures. Thanks, Daniel

Fossil accidentally found in a brick that broke open. About 4cm × 6cm width and 15cm length. All 3 pieces slot together. Would like to know what it is, thanks!

I found this chunk of bone while excavating the pile of overburden where i originally found the contact end of a large shoulder blade. This sight has also yielded a vertebrae that i will post in the comments. I am, as usual, stumped at trying to identify what kind of bone this used to be. My mom says it reminders her of the wings of a pelvic bone. unfortunately there are not a lot of great pictures of the pelvic bones of large mammals on the internet. What do you all think?

So this completes the wood pieces I have- a spectacular 25lb "branch"?. Carried it more than a mile from a creek bed. I use it as a doorstop/conversation piece. Also found in Kansas City. comments/observations welcome! Thanks! Bone

My cousin and I found this years ago while walking an old creek bed on his grandmas farm land. We were told it was a mammoth bison skull from the ice age. We know nothing about fossils and honestly can’t even decide if it is a fossil. It’s over 31” from horn tip to horn tip and pretty dang heavy. Can anyone give us some sort of information on this? Thanks

I just want to share some photos of a Moroccan Andalusian Trilobite I purchased about ten years ago. It's kinda large with the actual Trilobite measuring 9.5 x 7.5 inches on the matrix. I knew before I purchased it there had been restoration work and painting applied. I had always wanted one of these large trilobites to add to my collection but was skeptical because of the many fakes on the market. So, I looked for quite a while until I decided to purchase this one. I used the "common sense" approach that if it looked reworked/faked - it most likely is. I couldn't find what I determined

I have got these two trilobite with another smaller one on the reverse side. Also have a negative matrix of the two large ones which size about 8-10 inches each. Can you help me to identify if this is a real or fake. If it is real what kind is it. Thanks

I got this petrified wood. But couldn't know what kind of wood it was. Any comment?

I'm guessing it's a squid of some kind, but I didn't think they split diagonally? Pictures to come.

Large dotops, fake or bad prep?
MarielleK posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
So I recently purchased a moroccan drotops trilobite, mostly because of its size. It is 5 1/2 inches. It was a impulse purchase and I was not concidering if it might be fake. The reason I think it might not be genuine is the random scratches all around the trilobite on the matrix. I remembered reading that scratches like that are sometimes added to hide signs of it being faked. My original thought when I bought it, was that the scratches could be there from it being quickly prepped. Let me know what you all think! I've attached pictures of it from all angles. Thank you!
