Thought this was a burrow of some type but it didn't add up and after seeing the possible preservation of other fossil I'm thinking this might be an appendage, minus the shell, looks like where something was pulled from socket on one end and disconnected on other. I'm expecting a different explanation though

Mammal bone -
I wish I had any documentation regarding this bone, perhaps we do but my mother never really got all too into it. My father was quite the odd guy, professional musician who always wanted to be a paleontologist. I lost him as a kid in 2008 but being 20 now, I am trying to get in touch with USF, about an hour and a half away from me to see if their schools department on this stuff can help me learn about it. To my knowledge it is a ceratopsian leg bone of sorts. Here's a link to a reddit thread with pictures on it, I haven't been sleeping well and cba formatting them on this post correctly. -
Purchased two leg bones labeled to be from the Kem Kem Basin, seems like the ID is wrong
jws51203 posted a topic in Fossil ID
About a year and a half ago, I purchased a couple items with this set of fossils being one of them. They are real fossils and based on the other things that he was selling, I believe the location was labeled correctly but not the ID of what their owner was. It was labeled "the dromaeosaurid, Deltadromeus"...you can sort of see where I'm coming from when I decided to question the ID. Based on some research it does seem to be the upper and lower leg of an archosaur of some sort though it doesn't look like a crocodylomorph. Any idea of what I can label it as, even if it's something like "Theropod indet.". the two smaller pieces are from the same bone the at one point were held together by some glue of some sort. My guess is some sort of non-Ceratosaurine theropod based on how straight the larger (what seems to be the upper leg bone) is. I don't think that it's from a spinosaurid because the proportions seem off (assuming these bones are from the same individual) so that sort of leaves a Carcharodontosaurid when looking at everything together though I'm wondering what you guys think it could be.

Love to hear your comments. Some of green apple jadeite and others test as if white sapphire. Black test as if also corundum

This piece of fossil was said to be a dinosaur bone from Madagascar. Is it dinosaurian? A femur/tibia?

I found a bone on the Yellowstone River around Reed Point, Montana. I thought it might be a leg bone of a bison or cow. It weighs 12.3 oz. The longest measurement is 9 3/4 inches. It is 4 1/2 inches around in the center of the bone. Question: what animal does this bone belong to? What might the age be of the bone? Thanks so much for any light you may shed upon my questions and anything I likely forgot to ask.

Found this bone in Peace River, FL.... Looks like a hip or leg fossil.... Any ideas??? Thank u for ur time...

This is said to be Jeholosaurus limb from Liaoning of Early Cretaceous Formation. Is it genuine? It seems the limb is incomplete with missing claws?

Greetings All I was hiking about 1km from where I found a Paleo Horse Metacarpal last week (Thanks so much for the rapid ID!!) when I found this in the gravel. It appears to be a leg bone but I have not been able to ID it so far. It is a little beat up and weathered but I hope someone can help me figure out what it is. Any help would be appreciated. Best Regards Rob

Found this small curved bone. Was real curious to what if belonged to. I know someone has an idea. I found it in Venice Florida. Thank you very much

Was trying to figure out what these were

So-this collected yesterday in the Kansas City area again, but not sure what "layer" as the road cut was a jumble of mixed rock. My first thought was sea urchin spine, but I see only one row of spines, similar to what you see on many crustaceans; even though it is half-buried I thought sea urchin spines had generalized "points"?.... thanks again for all your patience reviewing these!

Myrtle Beach find, just this afternoon. Looks like it came off a chicken Also, it's hollow. Forgot to take a photo of that angle, but a hole all the way through the center. Ideas?

Nebraska, Miocene. Very heavy hard as stone.

Can anyone identify these as spinosaurus bones. Ive come across these pictures with very little information, other than apparently spinosaur bones from Morocco. I think the verts look clearly spinosaur, but I'm not very familiar with spinosaur long bones, although they immediately struck me as looking a little off. Maybe them being flattened is throwing me off. This seemed like a perfect opportunity for not just help learning spino long bones, but also while dealing with details like that, which can interfere with "standard" identification. In the 4th picture, the fossil on the bottom right--is that a vert with a long bone next to it? It's positioned like the sail of the vert, and seems to be attached to the vert but something about the bone looks wrong for part of the sail, to me...maybe that it looks like it's rounded along the length's edge, which I thought was not how they were shaped(if I'm wrong, I could also be just picturing dimetrodon sail spines...well, or just plain wrong, of course)? ...As well as looking just like the other long bones present. Thanks for any and all help!

I'm sure that the one long fossil is part of a crab leg but I can't seem to find anything on the web like it, all of the crab fossils I find appear to be your typical size crab such as the blue crab. This look like it would come from a very large crab. Came across what looked like other leg parts that appeared to be at least 6-8 inches. That second smaller piece, I don't have a clue. There's not much there to go on, just hoping that maybe someone will recognize the pattern on it and know what it belongs to. These were dug out of sandstone in which the bivalves and gastropods have been dated to about 2.5 million years old.

Hello, I was just traveling for a while and I was in the Rocha Department of Uruguay an area north east of Montevideo on the coast. I was walking along the severe hightide line of the shore just in front of a formation of a large sand dune area. I came across this what I think to be bone but potentially an antler. Uruguay was home to many Miocene Mammals and other fauna. Any ideas what this may be from from? Hard and heavy stone sounding when tapped. Marrow fossilized within perhaps. Any help is much appreciated! Patrick

I thought I would share a couple of my Christmas presents. A beautiful Pulalius vulgaris crab prepared by our own @RJB When he calls his B crabs or everybody else's A crabs. A deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Leg mount from Florida. Pleistocene. All of the bones were found together and are associated. A Megaloceros Giganteus jaw section with two teeth.

I found some interesting bones/rock/fossils?? Needing help to determine if they are really fossils. Found in North Central Arkansas on an exposed / eroding hill side leading to a river. I dug many of these out of red sticky clay. I really appreciate any help I can get, I’ve had these for 2 years and it’s finally time to see if I unearthed a remarkable find. Fingers crossed

Possible distal fibula fragment of a theropod dinosaur.
-
Partial tibia of a Theropod dinosaur. Seems very similar to both the tibia of raptors and that of Spinosaurs.
-
The left ulna of a woolly rhino. The distal joint is missing.
-
The right ulna of a woolly rhino. The distal joint is missing.
