    Is this a vertebra or something else?

    Found what might be a vertebra yesterday- let me know what yall think with these photos! It looks like it’s about 2 and a half inches tall, or about 6.35 centimeters. It looks like it’s 2.56 centimeters long. Both are just my closest estimates, so take them with a grain of salt-

    Help id this jaw piece (maybe other stuff?)

    Found a pretty cool fossil yesterday- has what definitely looks like some fossil teeth in it, along with a tiny, almost shrimp or krill looking creature. Here are the photos- fossil is almost 8 centimeters tall- a little over 3 inches for my american friends. it’s a bit hard to measure the width cause it’s a little wonky shaped and math isn’t my strong suit… you’ll have to go with this for now.
  3. Fossilsupremacy

    Found some stuff today

    I went fossil hunting out near the nearby creek today, since i had some free time. Here’s what i found: while i’m sure this first one is a concretion, i wanna know what yall think! Here’s the second one, which interested me way more- first one is 5cm, second one is 9 and a half centimeters: if you look closely- you can see weird markings on the second fossil that look almost like a tire track. Let me know what yall think that is.

    Is this a lobster?

    Found this nearby my house in a rockpile- it looks like some of the lobster fossils i’ve seen on here, but i just wanna be completely sure. It’s 3 centimeters long, half a centimeter wide. Here are the photos i took (sorry the lighting sucks, i’m trying to heal some pretty bad sunburns) image 1 (top) Image 2 (bottom) image 3: right image 4: left image 5: front image 6: back

    Specimen found in creek

    I’m very sorry for posting so much- i got bored yesterday so i put on my boots and went down to the creek not too far from my house! This specimen in particular caught my eye- while it’s probably just an eroded rock or something, i’d still like to see what yall think!
  6. Fossilsupremacy

    Help me identify these bivalves!

    Found some (what i presume are) bivalves on the same hunt i found my ironstone! I decided to post them separately cause i wanna be as active as possible without overcrowding anything. They’re a little over 2 centimeters, my estimate at least (i’m terrible at math and not familiar with the metric system so bare with me-)

    Strange, hollow fossil?

    Hi, amateur fossil hunter here (haven’t even been doing it for a month now) so i need a little help with trying to figure out what this fossil is. I’m most certain it is a fossil due to the hollow, almost tube/funnel like shape of it. From what i know on human anatomy, it could maybe be a phalanx of something? Maybe i’m just getting my hopes up. these are the photos next to a q-tip, which is 4 inches. (I know that’s a terrible way to measure things but it’s the best thing i’ve got.)

    Strange cracks in rock!

    Found this strange rock or fossil out in a creek on the land i’m currently living on in cross roads, tx. I was mostly intruiged by the cracks- though I wouldn’t be surprised nor disappointed if it was just a strange rock.
  9. Fossilsupremacy

    I think i found a sponge or coral?

    New to this platform and web forums in general (other than discord). But uh- i was at Lake Ray Roberts beach yesterday and found this strangely shaped rock in the water that i think might be a sponge or coral due to the abnormal tiny holes in it. I’m no paleontologist but i know that the area used to be underwater, so it would make sense. If anyone can identify these photos, it would be a huge favor (and if you have discord i might draw your fav dino as a reward-) (btw, the fossil’s about 3/4ths the size of my hand, and i’m 5’11.)

    Serpulid or Vermetidae?

    I already had 2 little piles of worm tubes then I found this larger single one today and appears the tube broke and exposed the worm. Examined the smaller ones more closely and noticed they have pyritized insides and cracks like on shell, started to wonder if they were gastropods, I see shiny spots and know the worm isn't preserved and tubes aren't shiny so doubting if they are Serpulid tubes. Also see what appears to be apeture on larger worm, so what are they? Last picture is backside of large one.

    Shark Teeth from Post Oak Creek

    I’d like for my Post Oak Creek collection identified (specifically the shark teeth), but I can’t find much information online about the species of shark whose teeth are found here (Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas). When I HAVE come across general information about the creek and other peoples findings online, there aren’t any pictures of the teeth or nobody else knows exactly what they have. It’s also hard to tell if I’m grouping them correctly, so I apologize if I’m mixing some species together. The longer teeth have very similar characteristics, but greatly differ in size. And the only teeth
  12. I’ve decided to post this one separately. Very unusual composition. If you watch the video, you’ll see that light refracts off of tiny crystals in the center of each segment (which I’ve circled in red in another image). It’s hardly noticeable. The specimen is very smooth and rounded. Another member said in a different post of mine that it could possibly be an inoceramid hinge, though my own research resulted in nothing. I can’t find anything online that remotely resembles my specimen (inoceramid or otherwise). I found it at Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas. FullSize

    My latest find!

    My husband and I like to go on walks along the wooded dirt trails behind our home. Last winter, we stumbled upon a particular stretch of path. It was constructed using refractory bricks smack dab in the middle of the woods. It wasn’t until recently when we decided to revisit the area. One does not simply stumble upon an old brick path in the middle of the woods. It had to have once led somewhere. We did, in fact, find an old stone well nearby. Across from the well, there’s the foundation of a house that’s nothing but rubble. I also found an A&W Root Beer can amongst the rubble. It was the

    Need help identifying

    I haven’t cleaned it up much. Any advice on what to do or what it is? To Me it looks like part of a skull.

    Fossil egg?

    It looked similar to a photo l that I saw online of an egg. But I also read that it’s extremely rare to find.

    Possible Fossilized Rib (ID Help)

    Found this fossil in a riverbed in Fannin County (North Texas) while hunting for fossils from the cretaceous period. (This is a follow-up from the same trip as my previous post - thank you to those of you who helped ID the mosasaur vertebra! And also thank you for correcting my terminology on mosasaur vs mosasaurus ). I'm not totally sure what this is (at first I thought it was nothing too special - possibly just a very eroded Baculite as we were finding many of those in the area), but on closer inspection, there are fine striations on the fossil that make me think it is bone. My c
  17. I found this fossilized vertebra in a riverbed in Fannin County (North Texas) while hunting for fossils from the cretaceous period. My understanding is that the concave/convex ends of the vertebra indicate that it is from a mosasaurus, but I am very new to this so I don't have a lot of faith in my ID skills. If it is a mosasaurus bone, is there any way to determine species? I've read that Tylosaurus and Platecarpus are found in the area, but don't know if there are reliably identifiable differences in their vertebrae structures. Is this a mosasaurus vertebra, and if so, is the
  18. I am right now out in the field, attempting to extract a string of articulated reptile vertebrae in the lower Atco. It is in a soft marl bed just a few feet above the basal Atco. There seems to be articulated ribs associated with the specimen, and so far I have uncovered 14 verts. 9 of them were lose of the surface and bagged in ziplocks, but now I am trying to get the rest out. If anyone has any advice, I need it! The specimen also has articulated ribs. I want to get this thing home tonight, and not destroyed. This is is my first time attempting to extract vertebrae, and I want to

    North Texas. Atco formation. Upper Coniacian. Found at a site further to to south than my normal Atco sites. It is larger and just generally more robust than any of my other Scaphites semicostatus specimens. The smaller S. semicostatus (bottom) came from one of my normal Atco sites.
