I walk the nearby rivers with my wife frequently, especially when the water is gets very low. We are located in south central Minnesota. We find many bison teeth, horns, bones, etc. We also pick up many shell fossils in matrix (lots of limestone around us). On a recent trip we found this strange old gem. It appears to me to be a sacrum that has been afflicted by some kind of bone cancer or other disease, but for the life of me I cannot identify an animal in our area that matches the shape of the central ridge. I realize it might be fused with bits of the pelvis and vertebrae, but I am just wondering if anyone has even a guess on this one. I held it up to a deer sacrum and it didn't even seem close. I have a real human pelvis and it seemed close to that than to any of the animal specimens I have. I really doubt its human, but again, I am at a loss. I appreciate your help!

Found in the Cle Elum, Washington area. This bone was found in the river, appears to be agatized. Would love to know if anyone could identify it. I wold imagine it’s a type of digit. Thank you in advance.

I was wandering around the creek behind my family’s house earlier today and spotted this. Located in Western New York, Southern Erie County, on a tributary of Buffalo Creek. I’m guessing it’s just an interesting rock, but thought it was an interesting enough shape to look into. I’ve included photos of all sides, wet and dry and the location found.

My kids found this in the Harpeth river, about 30 minutes South of Nashville. Any ideas?

Howdy all. First post but long time lurker. Need a little help with an ID. The fossil was found in Central Florida while sifting for shark teeth. The river has exposures from the Miocene epoch, at times I think older, and have found all manners of shark teeth with occasional mammal and reptile fossils showing up (deer teeth, snake ribs, alligator teeth and others). However, this little sucker stumps me. A small part of me believes it is a type of coral, but I am literally lost on where to begin with its identification. For orientation I call the "bumpy" side the top and the "ring" side the bottom. If more photos or details are need please ask. Thank you all in advance. Top (Bumpy): Bottom (Rings):

I found this skull in the Arkansas River in northeast Oklahoma. It is definitely fossilized. It weighs a lot. I hope the pictures are good enough. Thank you for your help.
