I went to the Zandmotor recently while visiting The Netherlands and wanted some clarity on some of my finds. I found a number of shells, two fish vertebrae, and two different mammalian bone fragments. This, however, is all I can make of any of them, and would appreciate more specific ID's if anyone out there knows. The shells should be middle Pleistocene (if they're not actually recent shells lol), and everything else (likely) late Pleistocene. Thank you! Fish Verts: Perhaps not fossil-- Baltic Macoma? Not sure about this either (whelk?), lovely shell either way: Mammal Chunk 1: Mammal Chunk 2: Mammal Chunk 1 again: More Shells (Oysters, a gastropod, and a cockle (I think)):

Hi guys, These are both from south Florida. I think either camel or deer but I can't tell which and they might even be something else. Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always.

My first thought was bison on this tooth but it just looks a little different than the rest of my collection. Possibly camel? North Central Nebraska, miocene. @Harry Pristis length-APL= 42mm width- TRW= 35mm

Fighting a sinus infection but made it out to the river today for a brief look. Southeast Texas gravel bar. Mostly Pleistocene, but older fossils are theoretically possible from exposures up river. Didn't find much since the river is up, but my most interesting find was this jaw fragment with some teeth intact. Since the biting surfaces are so worn, I'm having trouble with an ID. Is it possible to ID this based on tooth size/shape/location in the jaw? Or to at least narrow it down more so I can refine what type of teeth I should be comparing it to? Thanks. --Brandy

Hi Everyone, Found this small tooth yesterday in a NJ stream that mostly exposes Eocene and Miocene, but also contains Pleistocene material. Its small but clearly fossilized. What do you think? Thanks, John

Hunting a location that is primarily marine, but the fewer land mammal fossils are a narrow group of pre-equus horse, rhino, gomphothere. At the end of the day, this bone fell into the sieve. Comments and suggestions appreciated. I looked at Tibia distal ends of Horse, Camel, Bison and none seem to match and all of those are much larger..

Found in North central Nebraska. Miocene. I have a feeling @Harry Pristis and @Shellseeker might be helpful on this one.

I found this one in the same area of the one I just posted. I wonder if it is from the same critter? @ParkerPaleo

I’ve done quite a bit of looking online but can’t seem to get an ID on this one. It almost has to be either mammoth,mastodon or rhino but I’m not sure which bone it is. Found in North Central Nebraska. Miocene

Hello everyone, I got offered with this "fossil" from Java. The Selle says it's a carnivore canine. But I don't even think it's a fossil but a strange shaped rock, or if it's a fossil it's made of two pieces. What do you think of it?

I recently got a fossil bear canine from a short faced bear. It was found in the Joshua creek. Now Arctodus pristinus and Tremarctos floridanus canines are very similar. I know that Arctodus is an early Pleistocene species while Tremarctos is a middle late Pleistocene. Is it possible to know the age of land fossils from Joshua creek?

I found this skull fragment a few weeks ago in a river n SE Texas. It is approximately 2.75 inches (7 cm) top to bottom and left to right in the first photo. It is roughly deer sized, but looks different than Odocoleus. The measurement across the condyles is 2.1 inches. @garyc saw this just after i found it- (it was good running into him on the river!). It's heavy for its size, well mineralized. The last photo compares Odocoileus . @Lorne Ledger @Harry Pristis @JohnJ

I found this in a SE Texas river just over a week ago. It is 16cm, 6.5 inches left to right. It looks to me like a partial maxilla with the cheek process on the left side of the photo. The "tooth" just above the center of the photo would have been 1.6 inches wide. Any thoughts? @JohnJ @garyc @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis @Lorne Ledger

Hello, I’ve got a good lot of Peace River fossils from Florida that I bought in bulk and unidentified. A few of the pieces I could figure out on my own, but on most of them I’m clueless. I recognize that most of these may not be totally identifiable, but if you recognize something here your help would be appreciated. Below I will post pictures in separate replies. Feel free to ask for more angles/closer photos of any pieces that you might be able to help me with. Thanks in advance!

Hi All, Been a while since I've been out collecting but I just got back from a trip to Matoaka Beach Cabins along the Chesapeake Bay. I found an interesting section of limb bone in the surf and would like your opinion as to if it belonged to a land or sea mammal. Found in the surf piles near the cliffs at Matoaka Cottages, St. Leonard, MD. Most likely from Shattuck Zone 17 (St. Leonard Member) or Shattuck Zone 18 (Drumcliff Member) of the Choptank Fm., Miocene, Neozoic. If you need larger versions of any of the pics, let me know. Thanks! Dave

Hi Everyone, I found this in an NJ stream where I have found other Pleistocene mammal material. Not sure if this bone is modern or not. I think this is half of a large atlas vertebrae. It also appears to have a cut/saw mark.

Mammal Proximal tibia and distal femur (unrelated individuals)
acetabular posted a topic in Fossil ID
Two limb bone fragments from the Eocene deposits in the Big Horn Basin. Mammalian, but don't know anything more beyond that. Would really appreciate help!

The river has been receding daily, and I found this sacrum two days ago laying in sandy gravel that had just been exposed. Mostly Pleistocene fossils here. Due to its size, I thought it may be from one of the larger herbivore mammals. But due to wear, it's a little hard for me to tell how tapered or straight the original structure was, which seems pretty diagnostic in differentiating between the species. Several examples I've seen look similar, but I'm having a hard time finding any with sizes listed, so I'm a little lost. Can anyone shed some more light on this? Thank you! --Brandy
