I'm interested in a few of these turtle fossils supposedly found in the Neuse river in North Carolina. They are also labeled as Cretaceous. Do you think this is accurate or could they be from another age and or locality?

Atlantic Coastal Plain Amber (Bladen Fm., ~77-75 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Select pieces of cretaceous (mid-Campanian) amber from North Carolina, weighing roughly 0.7-1.5g each; most pieces found from this locality only weigh under a couple grams, which is typical of most U.S. deposits. Along many portions of the Neuse river, south of Goldsboro, the embankments expose the various members of the Black Creek Group: the Bladen member overlies the older Tar Heel Fm., and underlies the younger Donoho Creek Fm. To date, amber has only been officially described to occur in the Bladen member, and is believed to be of araucarian and/or cupressaceous origin.© Kaegen Lau

Found this fossil on the shoe of the Neuse River in New Bern, NC. Have found several fossils and sharks teeth in the area over the years but never one like this. Looks like a claw of some sort? Fine serrations along the inside.

While working in James City NC today I ran across someone else's find sitting on a bulkhead. It appears to be modern but it was still something to see completely intact.

Good afternoon! I found this large bone fragment (?) while walking along the neuse river in Craven County, NC. Can anyone tell me what this bone might be? Such as distal end of femur of large mammal? I know fragments are difficult to pin down but the size of this has me very curious! 5 inches wide and 4 inches thick. Thank you!

Good afternoon, I found this item, that I assume is a vertebra, Lang the Neuse River in Craven County, NC. The shape is unusual and I was wondering if someone can tell me more about the bone. 1.25 inches wide 3.75 inches long and 1.75 inches tall. Thank you very much!

Good evening, I found this tooth in a scrub line of trees along the Neuse River in Eastern North Carolina. My first thought is shark tooth however there is something about the tooth that just doesn’t seem to match anyone have researched. Can anyone help me to ID? Thank you in advance

I'm not even sure what these are, but I was kayaking near Cherry Point and found these while walking on a sandbar. They seemed really unique so I tried to look them up and haven't found anything.

Good morning, second post today! I found this bone in the Neuse River in Craven County/ Eastern NC. The shape of the bone is throwing me off on my google search. Can anyone identify the bone? Apps size is 3.5 inches by 3 inches. Thank you

Good morning, I found this piece in the Neuse River in Craven County NC. On the same trip I found a piece of tusk that has 90 degree Schreger Lines (thank you very much for help in identifying the piece) making it diagnostically Mammoth. I just cleaned up this piece and am confused about the status of petrified wood/ nice rock/ or bone. The texture seems to be similar to some fossilized bones in my collection. That being said, the internal structure has a “core” that appears to be similar to the tight tree rings seen in early growth. I will post more pictures in comments. Thank you

I was out on the Neuse River this afternoon (Havelock, NC area) and found this piece. It seems to have the correct cross hatching to indicate tusk. 6 inches long 2.5 inches wide. Heavy, layers are flaking off. Is this a tusk...hopefully mammoth and if so how best to preserve. Thank you in advance!

Need some help with the identification of these. I believe they are all the same. At first I thought baby alligator, but don't think so. The biggest one is roughly 2 inches.

Not sure about this one. It is from Neuse River in NC. I have eocene and cretaceous material from this site. Scale is in mm. Thanks.

The Sunday of the weekend before Hurricane Mathew came a calling, a friend and I decided to spend the day fishing on the Neuse River in eastern North Carolina. WE had a pretty good day fishing, caught lots of small puppy drum and stripers. No keepers but fun to catch. About halfway through the day we left the creek we were in and headed back into the main river. Heading from the Cherry Point area heading over towards New Bern. A mile or so up we saw fish busting all over the surface on the Flanners Beach side of the river but not quite that far. We motored towards them and for an hour or so caught stripers on almost every cast. As we were leaving we noticed there was a small cliff eroding out and decided to check it out. We beached and found small gravel on the beach in a strip about 40 or so yards in front of the eroding cliff face. Now, I have been on this river my whole life, but have never noticed this area before. We started finding bivalves almost immediately. We also found some small worn shark teeth, a nice burfish mouth plate and some possible small bone material. I am trying to pinpoint down the age of this exposure. There is Pleistocene Flanner Beach Formation and James City Formation nearby. James City is earlier. There are also Pliocene deposits. Possibly Yorktown, Chowan River or Duplin. The reason I am adding all of these is because of the bivalve ID's if I have them right. So any help is much appreciated. Please correct any incorrect ID I have as I am still learning how to properly ID Molluscs. The first is a bivalve that according to my reference is known from the Pliocene Duplin Formation; Glycymeris subovata Next an oyster Myrakeena sculpturata, from the Chowan River Formation (Pliocene) by my reference.

I have been in possession of this "rock" for a while, so I can't be positive where it was found, but it was either the Neuse River banks in Pamlico County, NC or the Topsail Island (Surf City, NC) beach. I'm leaning toward Topsail. It's shape suggests another fossil (whale ear bones??) but the structure/pattern (close-ups) in the fossil looks like it should be a coral. Any input appreciated.
