Hey, I happened to have come into contact with some nice folks in Northwest Missouri and they were wondering what finds they were collecting off the local river near Iowa but on the Missouri side. They have found Mastodon and mammoth bones/teeth along the same river but as I am a Pennsylvanian invertebrate fossil hunter this is out of my expertise. I could only give basic answers and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on IDs and ages. Some images I took while the rest were taken by them. Ill start off with this highly weathered Mammoth/possible mastodon vert (Dont know if Ids can go further on if it's Mammoth or Mastodon): I posted this elsewhere and was suggested Cow Humerous with butcher marks? Modern Horse Maxillary? https://ibb.co/KV54V87 Bison or Cow Scapula? not sure on age Bison Atlas vert? ??? https://ibb.co/LZ4gSgn Modernish jaw? Edit: Sorry these were meant to be on another post, I assume this is a badly weathered stigmaria Root cast? still weird whatever it was. Not removing it here as some people might have already seen it.

Hey everyone! I need some help identifying an object I found in Asotin county, Washington on the banks of the snake river. I believe the object is a bone. looks like one end of a femur to me but I'm just guessing. It's probably from a cow or horse, but it's really heavy, like it's petrified or water logged, leading me to wonder how old it is. I have never seen anything quite like it, myself. Any input would be amazing. Please and thank you.

Here is another item I believe is a mammoth tooth. Origin is unknown, I found it being used as a doorstop in my friends house. He collected all over LA, AR, TX and OK but I'm not even sure that he actually found this. It may have been given to him. I have a mammoth jawbone with teeth and this looks remarkably similar, except this specimen is smaller. I'm not sure if it is something else, or the teeth I have are larger due to placement in mouth. Thoughts anyone?

I received these from my friend who passed last year. I am not sure where he found this. It was in a case with all North Sulphur River items, but these do not have the density/hardness of items I have found from there. They are very flaky. I think these might have come from Montgomery LA, but anyone's guess is as good as mine. I think they belong to a mammoth, they were separate in the case, and they do not appear to exactly line up to make a single tooth, one is slightly larger than the other. Anyone care to comment?

I'm guessing that these are fragments of a mammoth tooth, found on the NSR. It could be some other large animal, but the ridges make me thing Mammoth. Can anyone verify that?

EDIT: Likely just a weird concretion or weathered chunk of rock. 😬Thanks all for the clarification. Hi all - while looking for Cretaceous fossils, I found some interesting chunks of what I thought might be bone of some kind amongst the piles of white limestone. When I cleaned them up at home, they started to look more and more like a very worn mammoth molar and some other fragments. Can anyone confirm the ID or offer any other info/ideas? Thanks!

What is this fossil? Mammoth? Mastodon? Other? Specimen 3
Tom Carmichael posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello. This came out of Florida. I believe it is a mammoth or mastodon scapula. Could it be pelvis bone? Your thoughts? Thank you -
What is this fossil? Mammoth? Mastodon? Other? Specimen 2
Tom Carmichael posted a topic in Fossil ID
This fossil came out of Florida. I'm assuming mastodon or mammoth. Foot Bone? Your thoughts? Appears to have some smooth, flat surfaces as shown in the second pic. Thank you. -

Tom Carmichael posted a topic in Fossil ID
This fossil came out of Florida. Note that it has a smooth concave "cup" in the center. Assuming mammoth or mastodon. Foot bone? Knee cap? Any thoughts? thank you. -
Hi, I found this fossil in our basement and I remember that we were told as kids that it’s a mammoth tooth but now I don’t think so. It was found in Belgium I believe.

Found these two in south carolina near the Summerville and Charleston area, im fairly certain one is a tusk but if anyone could give more details on which type on elephant it could’ve been since im not familiar with the area. The second one is a horse tooth (I think) but I am a primarily florida hunter so I would like to know if its a three toed horse or another species since it looks different then the ones ive found down here.

Need help identifying these Florida bones - Mastodon / Mammoth?
Tom Carmichael posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello folks - Please see the attached two photos. I am trying to identifying the bones in the photos and have numbered each piece and I took photos of BOTH sides of each piece. For two of the bones, I took a third picture. These all came out of Florida. I believe bone #2 is a Mastodon jaw bone and bone #3 is a scapula to either a Mammoth or Mastodon. Please note that bone #7 (3rd photo) has a concave shape / cup in the middle of it. Thanks for your input. Tom -
Hello, Was out on the Peace River recently and found something I couldn't identify, not that I can really identify anything other than a shark's tooth with much ease...But, was wondering what this might be? I saw in another post someone had a piece of mammoth tusk that resembled what I found but there were some differences. Any help is appreciated. Also included a pic of the teeth we found. Thank you

Hi Everyone, I went fossil hunting last weekend on the Norfolk coast, UK. A long walk up and down the beach of Happisburgh. Well known for its Ice Age mammal finds. I found a few different pieces, but this one in particular caught my eye. It's been rolled around in the surf somewhat, but I was hoping someone might be able to ID this for me? Because it does retain some shape still, it kind of looked like the end of a femur or tibia? But it does also resemble an ankle bone from a large animal, possibly Mammoth, Rhino or Bison? What do we think? Thanks in Advance, Jim.

Fossilized bone found on beach - marine mammal or other large land mammal? California Beach Find.
Lisa warner replied to Lisa warner's topic in Fossil ID
Thank you in advance for any help with an ID for this fossil. This is my second try on this forum - trying to follow more of the advice - thank you for your patience with my learning curve. Found on a beach in Northern California. Asked a friend who knows about marine mammals and fossils and he commented, "It doesn't remind me of a marine mammal, seems more like a mammoth or other large land mammal". From what I can see, it looks like part of a joint ... maybe the socket part of a ball and socket joint? I took another set of pictures using the handy centimeter graph paper.- 10 replies
