Found these 2 matching partial bones in the same location. I’m confident they are bones, but unsure of their origin. This site is known for Pleistocene fossils. Savannah, GA. Savannah River. Shark Tooth Island.

Found this unique looking bone but can’t pinpoint an ID. I’ve seen similar bones on pictures of Giant Ground Sloths but the back of the one I have isn’t quite as curved. I’m definitely thinking it’s a part of a finger or toe.

Hey everyone, new here, but hoping I’ve come to the right place! My family just got back from tooth hunting on shark tooth island and found these too and wondered how we could confirm what they are and if they’re just ordinary or could be extraordinary!

Noob to the forum. First collected fossils in the Westmoreland State Park area on the Potomac (in Virginia) when I was a little girl and just recently started back up. Now I hunt with MY kids. It used to be a lot easier to collect there when you could walk under the cliffs at Stratford Hall. I hope to soon go on one of the private expeditions that are allowed to go on Stratford Hall property. That way I can collect from fresh falls before they are messed up by the tides. This year we paid for rights to visit a little private island called Hollis Island aka Shark Tooth Island and have had a LOT more luck than at Westmoreland. Problem is the fossils have had to travel to get there so they are mostly either broken or small. We still really enjoy it and make a day of swimming, hunting, and picnicing. My username is because the biggest tooth I have ever found was a from a crocodile, and I have only ever found ONE crocodile tooth. I was 18 and with a guy and didn't have pockets so I asked him to hold it for me. FORGOT. Losing that tooth bugs me to this day. Didn't get to go fossilling again for a loooong time, but now that I have started back up I have made it my goal to find another... and of course a Meg tooth. I mostly have makos, sand, and tiger. Always looking for "the big one". I also have lots of mammal bones and ray dental plates. Fossil hunting is soooo addictive. I keep wanting to find "just one more" and need another fix before I can bring myself to stop for the day. Here are pics of some of my more interesting finds finds from this past weekend, sorry for the flash inner ear bone from a dolphin my biggest shark tooth so far and the smallest (aren't they cute!? wonder how tiny the shark was?) the disc that grows in between bones of a mammal (not very technical, sorry). But I LOVE the pattern on it.
