Found at a junk store in Graves County, Kentucky. Unfortunately the owner didn't remember what estate sale he found it at. I bought it as a simple geode but after cleaning it up I think it may be a geodized crinoid calyx. Its extremely heavy, sorry, no bananas for scale. Thoughts?

Sorry that I don't have details of this specimen's provenance, but I'm trying to help an older friend remember what exactly this is a fossil of. They've had it for over 20 years, and believe they may have acquired it from online auction site in its early days. All I've been able to determine so far is that it is likely a dinosaur tibia. He's quite a fan of hadrosaurs, but I really have no idea if it's possibly from one. It's a fairly large specimen, about 26 in/66 cm long and 5 in/12.7 cm wide at the widest point: I know this is quite challenging without supporting information, but unfortunately any information related to this is missing, and was likely lost in a house fire that occurred years ago. Just hoping to get lucky and see if anyone has any sort of insight. Other photos attached (sorry that they seem to just be rendered full sized without a smaller preview, though that's more of a form limitation than my doing). Thanks..

We found this nice tooth on the Kaw River (Kansas) this past summer. Permian glacial material has been found there. When we found it, we assumed that it was from a camel. I’m not so sure anymore, as it has a stylid, and resembles a white tailed deer tooth we found, only much larger. Any ideas?

Well, I’m stumped. Can’t find anything like it in my references. Was found in KC area, likely Pennsylvanian. Thank you so much in advance everyone!

I found this walking in Vermilion County, Illinois a few years ago. This was in a corn field by my house. It appears to have been used for something and I thought it was unique so I took it home. I’ve been keeping it up by my house for a few years now and decided I’d like to try and identify it possibly. I’ve been looking online and to me it looks like an Native American flaked axe or possibly something else used by them. The indentations on it are very unique. Open to suggestions please. Thanks!

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

ID please. Large echinoid from Europe, possibly Sardinia, Italy
Bill Thompson posted a topic in Fossil ID
I could use some help identifying this extremely large echinoid. I believe it is from Sardinia, Italy. Measures - Base 133 mm, Height 107 mm -
Good morning, friends. I believe I posted this in the wrong forum originally, and it should be posted here. A VERY reputable paleontologist has prepared a triceratops scapula out west. It is massive. I’m curious about any thoughts you have on how to find out species ID (T. Horridus or T. Prorsus?).

Largest piece i've come across. Yorktown formation - VA. It was found with what I believe was a bunch of smaller whale skull pieces. I'm at a loss for what this could be. Doesn't look quite look like a skull piece, or mandible, or rib, but i'm not an expert. There is one smooth section on the inside of piece, maybe helpful in identification. I would love others thoughts on what they think it is? Thanks!

I have a tooth given to me by grandfather - always told it was a camel tooth from Mespotamia [he was there on way to India in WW1] but realise it looks like no camel tooth I can find. Now also realise it is mineralised so probably a fossil of a recent large herbivore. Any ideas??

Found this beauty this morning on the Palos Verdes Peninsula beach in Southern California. Is this vertebrae? And if so, what animal? Specimen is probably five-six inches long, well worn, and marrow has been replaced by something else- tar, perhaps? One end is rounded, while the other appears sort of tripod shaped. Thanks for any input! Melanie

Hello everyone! I'm glad to be a new member of the community. I purchased a treasure trove of fossils, arrowheads, petrified wood and other neat items. This looks as if it was professionally repaired, but other than a fossil I do not know. Thanks! Dan

Hello, I have bought this gastropod in a flea market in spain, and I was wondering if it's possible to ID it. Due to it's large size and location my first option is Natica leviathan (now Ampullina leviathan). I don't know if I am right or some body has a different opinion?

I am an absolute amateur when it comes to this so do forgive me if I'm just posting photos of another rock! Found Worthing, West Sussex on the beach and the rock is flint I believe so usually I'd just be finding old echinocorys or the like around here. It's fairly large, 6 inches across overall and does seem to have some lighter patches on it that aren't flint I don't think? making me assume it might not just be a rock that's tricked me into lugging it home for a closer look again (I'm the bane of my own existence). Thank you so much for any help you can give with this one and my sincere apologies if I've been mistaken, but that's how I learn, right?!

These are sold as Elosuchus osteoderms from the Kem Kem, Morocco. I have seen a lot of crocodile osteoderms, but never this huge. Can they really get this big and are these actually osteoderms or are these parts of the crocodile skull? #1 Length: 21.1 cm (8.31") Width: 7.6 cm (2.99")

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.

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 as well. Thanks in advance! RCD
