Recently, I found some mammal fossils right next to a river. The bones were buried in clay but the water had removed some sediment so they were visible although they were broken in tens of pieces. Later, I cleaned the soft clay from the bones and placed the small pieces together using normal glue because I have found out that its results are nearly as good as fossil glue or at least it doesn't have visible differences. Although the bones are almost complete, there is still a lot hardened red clay that doesn't go away with water or brushes. What should I use to clean the fossils completely without damaging them? (with household items if it's possible) Here's a photo of my 2 favourite ones.

On the last two trips my son and I have made down to one of our favorite spots near Saint Leonard, MD we found these specimens. I've some guesses about what they are but would appreciate some corroboration. All were found along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland in the Choptank formation.

Recently, I found many fossilized bones, including a lower jaw, buried in clay next to a riverbank in Greece. I surfed the internet to get more information about that place and discovered it was very close to another site on the same river where Miocene bones were found (about 50 species, mainly mammals). I cleaned the jaw bone and then noticed that the teeth were missing, and I couldn't identify whether it was a carnivore or a herbivore. I would appreciate it if anyone could recognize any characteristics and maybe find what animal it belonged to. (In the known locality there were found rhinoceros, apes, turtles, hyenas, gazelles, lions, saber-toothed cats, other felines, various species of giraffes, bovines, bears, deer, horses, boars, primitive elephants and chalicotheres)

The shape of this tooth is throwing me off a bit. Slant height is 1.5" and it was found in Westmoreland County, VA.

Hi all, Hwlp with id. please:-) The first photo shows what are Hystrivasum locklinii and horridum I believe. They are all from the APAC/Newburn Pit, Sarasota, Florida, collected by E. Dunlop on January 2, 1984. I think the next three scallops are all Chesapecten jeffersonius, but not 100% sure. They were all collected from Rice's Fossil Pit in Hampton, Virginia, in August 1964 by M. Fuldner. All shells are from the Miocene. I hope someone can help me. I never got a response the last time I posted a few years ago about sharks teeth:-( Thanks, Andrew
