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.

Found this a while back and had it in my unidentified pile. I assumed it was a small mammal rib and probably un-identifiable, but I took a second look recently, and there's something about the shape that doesn't quite look mammal to me.

I figured it was worth asking about. @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker @JohnJ @Meganeura @GPayton @garyc

I'd gotten some more lance fm matrix and had found this. It had at first looked like a rib fragment but it has this weird texture on the bottom and the sides. Just wondering what you guys think. Thanks for any help. It's from the Lance Fm of Weston Co. Wyoming.

Found these what to me looks like small fish flippers and the one looks like a fish rib? Found these at Flag Pond in the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland. Seeking input/help. Thanks so much.

I found this large, flat bone fragment in a southeast Texas gravel bar. Not sure if there's enough detail here to make a solid ID, especially on the articular process. I tried comparing it to other large mammal flat bones like ribs and scapulas, but couldn't figure it out. Hoping someone with more experience can help ID it. Thanks for any help!

Went hunting my local late cretaceous severn formation marine site. Found a 5 inch piece of bone (which is large for the site. I am guessing it is a rib piece because it is a long and flat oval bone. this is a site that has alot of turtle, enchodus and some croc and mossasaur. Is there anything to distinguish one rib chunk from another
