Apologies...I should have introduced myself just so everyone would know that I have A Lot of ignorant questions! I arrowhead hunt in Kansas but don't know much about the other strange things I find while doing so. Please forgive the many pointless questions that I have... There is no one that can tell me or has knowledge in most of the exciting things I come across out here!

New to fossil hunting and found this (and lots of other things) in the Peace River last weekend. Any idea of what it is?

HELP! My friend found this on the sandbar today. I’ve never seen anything like it! Feels like bone…. Any ideas?

What's up, everyone?! I'm in Quincy, WA for work for about 6 weeks and would love to do some digging. Does anyone know if there some good spots out here? Also, I don't know if the regulations are the same as at home (New Mexico). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Hope you all are happy and healthy! View from the base of my driveway. Columbia River at dawn.

Hello we found this tooth while sifting for shark teeth in the Peace river in Arcadia Florida USA. It was found in the gravel patches near the middle of the river. Anyone know what it could be from?

Good morning, Tank here. I hate asking, especially when I am probably completely wrong too, but I've given myself a migraine searching through other sites. I've narrowed it down to something between anything and everything thanks to Google. I found this one, and quite a few more as well, along the bank of the Tuscarawas River in New Philadelphia Ohio. Google New Phila Hog Heaven and there is the spot I've been getting them. None are exactly alike but all appear to be somehow connected by color texture and all likenesses I guess. I just haven't any idea what I'm finding and my wife calls it Aliens Baby, which is banned from our home. Depending on what it is, I might get to show her the pics posted are from inside, with some priceless help if possible. Thanks for the chance to ask you all.

New to hunting fossils/shark teeth and found this unknown object, was thinking maybe a tooth or claw but some buddies say maybe bone carved spear tip or something. Found it in a river in southern Alabama with what they tell me is a Eocene formation on the river bank.

The Green River Formation Collection of Nanotyrannus35
Nanotyrannus35 posted a topic in Member Collections
Here is a view of my green river formation collection. Most of these fish were found at @sseth's quarry, American Fossil. First up is my prize fish, a partial Eohiodon I also have this Priscacara that I've been on and off prepping. A piece of wood from the split fish layer. A partial Phareodus from the split fish layer A (i think fairly rare) stingray barb that had come out of the matrix A Knightia that also has a partial crocodile tooth in the matrix that I had removed. And a view of the whole collection

At first I thought this was a neural bone from a turtle but now I'm wondering if it might be a mammalian osteoderm (3cm long x 1cm thick). From a north Florida river. - Zach

I believe this is a Holmesina osteoderm (my first), but please correct me if you think otherwise. From a north Florida river. Thanks! -Zach

Greetings from a new forum member. I'm not sure whether this is even a fossil or something man-made. But I guess this is the place to find out. This was picked up on the banks of the Etobicoke Creek in suburban Toronto. The area contains a fair bit of rubble and landfill, so it's hard (for me) to say whether it's originally from the area. Thank you.

I found this in the peace river in Florida. What is it?
-
Unsure what this is found it rock hunting in southwest Iowa neat the river on a friend's property.Looks like a bat in utero petrified

Anyone know what these are? Found on the Kansas river. Doesn’t seem to be vertebrate as there is no hole for the spinal column. Don’t think it’s a tooth either. Any ideas?

Hello! With the extension of warmer and calmer weather in my area, I have recently taken to the dark arts of sifting gravel beds in search of fossils. Previously I have avoided this because it’s a lot of work, but I have been enjoying finding the higher quantities of fossils and other things... I know there are a couple of different exposures on this river’s banks, a marl with fresh shells and Miocene vertebrate material, and a reworked gravel layer with a bit more worn mixed material including either angustidens or ariculatus shark teeth. Pictures included. These are usually very worn. The gravel beds in the river below such deposits have been where I sift... In one such area I find a rich diversity of shark teeth and cetacean fossils(mostly bones chunks, earbones, and a few teeth) the whale material is the most interesting to me... I think I found a partial tooth from a heterodont whale, it is broken and worn, consistent with the older shark material. I hope the pictures tell the tale. My post is about mammal earbones that have been quite frequent and show a consistency of wear with the older material. They also have a consistent form, though worn, that is quite different from Miocene earbones that I’ve found here and elsewhere. I’m wondering if these are identifiable to oligocene cetaceans? I Have included 3 pics of what I think is the heterodont cetacean tooth 2 of the older sharks teeth 2 photos of the what I think may be the older earbones (The group of 3) 2 photos of what I think are Miocene earbones All of these fossils were found in the same bed of gravel along with many more sharks teeth and whale bones and a few more recent whale teeth(they look like what I have found at other Miocene formation sites) I’m curious if this rings any bells, I totally understand if they are to worn for an id of any specificity. I know there are some experts on this forum and I appreciate anybody’s opinion/ thoughts! thanks!

Found this tooth in Central Iowa in the river. We have had a drought for 2 years, and our rivers are very low, which let's my friends and I find artifacts, rocks, and fossils in the river that we normally couldn't access. We find lots of bison teeth, but this tooth seems different. Sorry, no metric ruler. 2.54 cm in an inch.

I found this in a SE Texas river just over a week ago. It is 16cm, 6.5 inches left to right. It looks to me like a partial maxilla with the cheek process on the left side of the photo. The "tooth" just above the center of the photo would have been 1.6 inches wide. Any thoughts? @JohnJ @garyc @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis @Lorne Ledger

Found in a river in central Ohio. The stem made me feel it might be a fossil??? It’s very hard and about the size of a tablespoon. Thanks for your help in identifying.

Hi everyone! I found this on the ground near the Root River in Minnesota which is an offshoot of the Mississippi river. Near Cushon Peak. I'd love to know if its a fossil and if so what kind. Thanks!

Looking for information on pressures and temperatures present during typical fish fossil formation. My most recent fossil is from the Green River formation in Wyoming. I know there are some generalized guesses out there but I'm looking real numbers and a description of how those numbers were arrived at or calculated. Thank you.

Trying to figure out what this is. Good buy?

I went fossil hunting for the first time and took my 5 year old. I was SO FUN! What made it better is that we actually found a few things! I think its horn coral, possibly orthoceras. I think i found a piece of a fish on a small rock, though it's hard to see. Possibly some worm fossils. Then I found a small crinoid piece. The one with horn coral is part of a huge matrix and I want to know if anyone else sees anything. The last several pictures are all different sides of the large one. Thanks everyone for looking!

Hello I found this piece of sandstone along the Athabasca river just south of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. Since it’s sandstone I’m assuming it came from either the Mcmurray (late barremian or early Aptian) or Grandrapids (Albian) formation although my geology skills are not great. I tried to do some googling on what it could be but I found no results since I couldn’t be specific enough since I don’t really know what I’m doing. Any ideas? I attached an image of the location for fun that I took a while before I found the rock. I found it to the right of the creek thanks
