I found this petrified bone on my property in Southeast Michigan. Any ideas?
-
Found in southern Mississippi, USA near a creekbed in the late 1950's-early 60's. Looking for any information on age and confirmation that it IS a gar scale fossil arrowhead. Just under 5 cm/2 inch in length.

Found by myself and my kids since the 80s in Texas in creeks, river beds and tributary’s of rivers. Early Texas man is my passion and anything from the past Pleistocene and before ,bones and fossils and rocks. Countless hours in the field enjoying Gods magnificent creations. Countless hours researching reading books searching interweb to identify finds. Feel free to comment on any of my pics. I am a amateur and always looking for knowledge from the people and experts. Hopefully I have found some puzzle pieces literally to help the scientific and history community.

Interesting item from completed online auction. Trilobite?
MrR posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Greetings all. I'd like to post a link to a completed online auction that had an item that I believe members would find interesting. However the auction page is at that big auction site. Can someone tell me if such a post would run counter to the rules of the forum? It seems as if it might. But it's also can be a bit of a problem if I post images from the auction without permission of the seller. I believe the item is interesting enough that it would be worth members seeing. It was described as a native American paint cup found in CA. What makes it of such interest on TFF is that i -
From the album: Some Minnesota ~Fossils
This was found years ago on my uncle's farm in Southern Minnesota. I only presume it may be a maul because it was found in close proximity with the other maul I have in this collection and does seem to show some wear on its tip. -

Hi, I found this bone on marthas vineyard, where native Americans and dinosaur fossils and relics are known to be found. Can you please help identify. Thank you in advance

My ten-year-old and I moved to this property in middle Georgia about two years ago and started finding all kind of arrowheads and native American things. Now I'm starting to think I'm losing my mind because there are so many other things being revealed as the rain washes away my hill.

Hi all here are some finds I cannot identify from Big Brook. Please let me know what you think! Any help is appreciated. First up I believe is some kind of pleistocene horse tooth fragment? But I am not sure. Thought it was a ratfish jaw frag at first from the other side, but it's like nothing I've seen. Below, this is what looks to be a fish tooth of some kind, but it seems to have some of the root attached. So no hole visible at the bottom. Slightly larger than a quarter in length!

I forgot to post my last North Sulphur River Texas hunt. I found a nice variety of items. The cretaceous fish piece was definitely my find of the day. I had a crop duster buzz me for at least an hour. I found some nice coprolite specimens and a cool reworked artifact.

Sorry I don't know where this comes from exactly. It was found at an estate sale in Texas. Was told it was a part of a collectors pieces from Southwest U.S. and was presented as Native American. So far Native American people think it is a fossil so here I am asking your opinion. It's heavy, fits in the palm of your hand, has a noticeable single ridge on the humped side, has a hole in the top and a hole in the flatter side; is black in color with many grey channels or etchings on the humped side. In your opinion is this a fossil and if so any idea what it is of? If it helps, it f

You all were so unbelievable in quickly identifying my septarian concretion yesterday, I would like to press my luck. I found this rock last summer near Durango, Colorado. It was in an area thought to be used by Native Americans. Many Thanks! EE

Just started observing petrified wood in our creeks where we hunt and noticed some other things outside petrified wood. Just looking to see if any of these are fossils/teeth/tusk?/some may be Native American. The longest piece has been carved on for sure looks to be on bone.

I found this in North Texas in a well-documented fossil/Indian artifact creek. I found this, and have been unable to confirm what it is. It is dense, and seems to be ground heavily in two spots in particular (on perfect for a thumb). It's approximately 3 inches long and 1-2 inches thick. Is this some kind of hand tool? Any ideas would be great.

My brother and I found this fossil shark tooth in the gravel beds along Firesteel Creek near Mitchell, SD. We have gone several times and found many shark teeth but to my knowledge, this is the first Hemipristis serra that we found. I believe this tooth has been worked by Native Americans. There is a perfectly circular hole in the root - or it would be circular if part of the tooth weren't broken away. I have read that worked fossil shark teeth from the Chesapeake Bay, including Hemipristis serra, have been found in burial mounds as far away as Ohio. My questions are: do you agree that th

Hello, I made my second fossil hunting trip, this time to the North Sulphur River. I have a couple things to run by the veteran folks: The first is what I think is a mosasuar vert. Is that correct? Also, the second is a petrified wood object. On one side are two well-worn grooves. Can anyone help out on what this could be? Some kind of caddo tool or a piece of junk? Thanks!

Short and hot 2 hr hunt at the North Sulphur River Texas. I found a nice variety of items. Mosasaur Vert, Possible Fish Rib, Biface Preform Artifact, Mastodon Tooth Enamel. It was so hot the rocks were burning the soles of my feet through my dive boots lol.

I am a resident of wisconsin and i live in the Milwaukee area. Every year, my family and I go out to Wyoming to a town where my grandma has lived for the last 30 years, Doubois, WY. We go there for about a week and rock pick and explore. We find agate, petrified wood, fossils, one arrowhead, this unidentified rock that looks like a small dinosaurs leg with a couple pieces in the back of the rock as well, which i found in the Wind River, and a bone carved into the shape of a tooth (obviously not chewed or naturally formed that way) i found at the back of a pitch black cave. I was wondering if a

Is This Really A Fossil? And A Native American Axe In One?
TobyWan posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Ok, I am a newb at all this. I am interested in finding a real fossil but after reading several posts, I just decided to ask if this is real or not. I found this on ebay (eBay item number: 271846574029 ) and it claims to be both a fossil and an axe head carved by a Native American. What are your opinions? If this is true, I can only imagine that it will make this extremly rare and valuable and hard to beleive its just being sold on ebay.) Thanks in advance! From the auction: (It claims these are fish or dinasour scales) (Knotches made for axe?) (The other side does look like an a -
I know this is a fossil site but i was hoping someone here may have came across something like this before and may have some info to pass on. i found this near fenton, mi near a old tree while tilling. It was a little over 20 inches deep. it is almost perfectly round very very smooth and heavy and extremely hard. When hit by my tiller it got no damage only damaged my tiller. The tiller left metalic marks on the stone. i have since used my different things to try to scratch it with no luck. everything i use just just damaged. the item weighs around 41.7 grams
