Hello everybody! Just did my first dig in Bakersfield California. Found some cool shark teeth & a sea lion tooth. I'm addicted now & looking for new places & faces to hunt & explore with. Below is the pic of my favorite finds from the weekend. Feel free to chime in on species.

Found this partial tooth while hunting in N. Central Texas. Clearly mammal but not sure if there is enough to get an ID.

Not sure if this post should be in Fossil ID or Is it real? Saw this vertebrae in a local shop. Hoping for some info before purchasing. It's labeled as a sauropod vertebra from the Fox Hills formation in Jordan, Montana. It's approximately 5 inches wide, 3 1/2 inches deep and 3 3/4 inches tall and weighs 621 grams. It's obviously a vertebra from a large animal. My question: is it this truly a dinosaur vertebra or perhaps from a large mammal? Sorry if the pics aren't the best - the store lighting was challenging. Thank you for any and all help.

hi All, Saw this for sale from China. No additional info. Based upon other items that the buy has for sale, I'd say Miocene or Pleistocene. It's clearly mammal. Looks camel-y to me, but I'm no mammal expert. Any thoughts? thanks!

I am trying to identify these bones. I believe they are from a tropical fish or other water animal, 2 different kinds, but I cannot figure which.
-
Hey everyone. I found these four yesterday. I believe I have a bison tooth, 2 horse teeth and a scute ?

Hi I have had in my collection for sometime now some unidentified mammal bones . They was part of an old museum collection I think going by the markings on the cave hyena specimens. All the fossil found in Tor Newton (Tornewton) cave in South Devon UK. In the collection was cave hyena teeth and foot bones, a tip of a Straight Tusted elephant and there unknown mammal bones. Collecting from these sites is strictly prohibited today. So was probably collected from these sites during the 18th/19th century up until as late as the 1950s. There are three pictures of each bone if you can please help with an ID that would been fantastic. I will also include some pictures of the rest of the collection and as taster some images of the Pleistocene animals they came from. Pleistocene in the UK must have looked very similar to Africa in terms of the fauna.

Hopefully someone who knows bones can help. Apologize in advance for the cellphone pictures, but will try for more if needed. Thanks in advance for your help. Found a roughly four inch bone piece with a socket joint (maybe gnawed a bit) at one end and a seemingly hollow end (sand packed, but heavy for its size). One side has five clear keels (tendon attachments?) running length-wise; never noticed on other bones. On the opposite side there is a fine ridge that splits in two, and into three, with a much stronger protruding edge near the joint. While most of the edge on the side near this protruding edge is smooth and rounded, the opposite side has a n edge running the length of the bone.

I was out today, These are interesting times and interesting finds. Many, many goodies, a couple of large gator scutes, a jaw with no teeth that would be an ID candidate, capybara incisor, 5 or 6 Megs including a perfect baby meg, 2 plates of a juve Mammoth tooth, a small canine, and lots more goodies, but I was most excited as soon as I spotted this... I have found llama, horse, porpoise, whale (both toothed and Baleen), and this is bigger by a lot compared to 1st 3 and equal in size to the whales. It is not Toothed, but maybe Baleen. 3x3x1 inches. BIG animal. @Boesse @Harry Pristis

Hi guys I was wondering if you could help me out on a few of these? I'll have to post in multiple messages.

Found this years ago in Myrtle beach South Carolina, I thought it was a bison molar but I've seen some fossilized camel teeth recently that looked possibly closer to my tooth, any ideas are welcome!
-
if anyone can help share some info on the following.this is a cretaceous stream but I'm assuming maybe glacier brought in the coral and any info on it and age and any info on the others...thanks
-
I found this partial molar this morning at Myrtle Beach South Carolina , any clues what it belonged to?
-
Found this three on the savannah river near Tybee Island. A I think might be a capybara tooth? B I have no idea! C Maybe dolphin? It has a curvness where I think another tooth created some wear. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!!

Found a small 1" long bone recently along Calvert Cliffs. In the pic it's the small bone just under the small lower cowshark tooth. Wondering if this is either a land mammal toe bone or a possible toe bone from a bird? Daryl.

Hi everyone! This print is found on a concretion--no idea how old, or where it originated from; it was purchased in a specialty shop in Sedona AZ many years ago. It wasn't until just recently I noticed what appears to be a footprint w/4 digits; sharp claws. almost looks like maybe the outer surface might have flowed a bit over the print (?) What do you think? Am I just seeing circus animals in the clouds? I keep trying to upload images that really show the details, but keep getting bumped, even though I'm below the 3.95 MB.

There is a spot relatively close to me that is a late Miocene/ early Pliocene deposit. Consisting mainly of Great White teeth, marine mammal chunks, with occational (but rare) Meg. tooth pieces. Being a secondary deposit, everything in it got beat up and water worn pretty good. I was going through a box of bone pieces and grabbed this out for I'D. I was thinking inner ear bone? What are your views on this?
-
Howdy gang! Found this a while back at Brownie's Beach in MD. I just refound it last night, LOL. I'm assuming its from a mammal, but after that, I'm stumped. Any ideas?
-
Hello from a newbie in Central New York. I would appreciate it if anyone could identify the fossil in the attached photograph. I believe it is a tooth, but have not been able to find it on the internet. It has very complex, repeating stages in its structure. Thanks for any guidance on this! Norm

Hi All, I've found 2 horse teeth in Hillsborough county, Florida that seem to be too small to be equus. The first one is badly damaged but I'm thinking it's a merrychippus species, the second I think is a nannippus species. Any help on identifying them would be greatly appreciated as well as any tips on better ways to ID them than staring at dozens of sketches of horse teeth.

This fossil was dug up fishing recently in Kankakee County, Illinois, where the bedrock is Silurian, but this fossil would have to be Pleistocene. Any help with ID is appreciated. I do not have possession so these are the only photos I have. If you provide an ID, please provide your reasoning. Thanks!

Here's a small vertebra found on the Brazos River in SE Texas in pleistocene gravel. It has some matrix adhering to it which may mask important features. Hoping some of you can recognize it.
-
A friend of mine found this tooth on the Brazos River and wanted me to try for an id. I have some ideas, but don't want to influence opinions. It measures 1 5/8 inches long and the crown length is 9/16in. Thanks!
-
I bought this jaw at a fossil show and the only info that came with it was "Badlands USA". The matrix looks Miocene Arikaree to me and not Oligocene but I'm not sure of course. Any information from a mammal/tooth collector will be appreciated. I have an idea of what it might be but I don't want to say anything until I hear from you all. Thanks, Mikey
