Proboscidean from Southern MN gravel pit on Minnesota river. Mammoth or Mastodon? The acetabulum (socket) is approximately 7" in diameter. Sorry for lack of scale

Was wondering which plesiosaur species it might come from. Pierre shale sd 2ft by 2ft. It was broken before fossilizing also encrusted in crystals. Some parts are only .5in thin. Wasn't sure if it was worth picking up. It's a complete rear pelvis. Found verts and other leg bones by it. It was facing up like in photo. But not sure which side is which when it was alive. Bottom point is where it attaches to leg. The bottom of the nob on the left also looks like it was attached to something. As it shows cartilage remains. Maybe it attached to other side pelvis? I tried using this page to id it.

Howdy everyone! I found this on a beach in South Carolina and obviously I have no idea what this little guy is, but it looks like a miniature pelvis haha! If anyone has an idea as to what this is, I'd love to get an expert's opinion! Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all, I have a mostly intact pelvic bone of a large camel species. Unfortunately, it was found just and inch or two below the surface in a quite soft sandstone that was mostly sand. As a result the side closest to the surface is in quite poor shape, especially near the obturator foramina. I have used paraloid B-72 throughout the prep to give some strength to the bone and some superglue in the larger cracks, but as I have removed most the matrix, this is quite the fragile piece. Any suggestions on how best I can proceed? I know paraloid isn’t best for heavy weight and I don’t want to paint superglue all over it-unless that’s what’s needed.

15th visit to big brook today. Did pretty well finding shark teeth and have a small very which I will post. Found another rib and leg bone which I presume to be deer. But this was my best find of the day. Looks like a pelvis but couldn’t find a match. Assume modern from the nasty cuts. 3 inches by 2.5 inches. Thank you

I was hunting with a friend in an area that produces more late miocene fossils than Pleistocene fossils. But this is Florida and we have a lot of modern cows. Nothing to say that a random bone from the halocene did not slipped in here. My friend has a lot of history in Florida miocene fossils, having worked in the Bone Valley Phosphate mines for 30 years. During those years, he had found extensive large mammal fossils. He tossed this bone to me and said he thinks it is Rhino. I am looking to validate or disprove.

Hi new member here... trying to ID this bone I found. I actually caught it fishing in the Mississippi river in St. Paul MN. No idea how old it is or what it came from. I've got some nice pictures though! Thanks for any help I can get.
