Hi y'all, I bought some shark vertebrae here in the Netherlands from a guy who collected it himself in Gainesville, Florida area, a couple of verts are not from shark including this one and i was wondering from what animal it could have been. I hope one of you has an idea what it could be. Thanks!!

Some things from Post Oak creek not sure if they're something or not, with exception of #3, pretty sure the one with ridges is echinoid spine and other one is fossil just don't know what. Really intrigued by whatever the yellow is, don't think it's man-made, it doesn't melt anyway.

Hey everyone, been a little MIA recently. Work/life balance has gotten a little out of whack. Looking forward to sharing some of my 2021 finds soon! anyway I’m revisiting this fossil I found in Western New York roughly 2 years ago. at first when I shared the find I asked some opinions and most said cephalopod. I knew it probably wasn’t that but I didn’t really explore it further. this is from the Wanakah shale of the ludlowville formation in the Hamilton group of WNY. Middle Devonian in age. this “seems” like a spine? I don’t really know.

So I have decided to do some exploration digs in my area (Salem County) just because there isn’t much mentioned for spots and it’s not more than 1 hour in any direction for me to search. Found an area with a little help from some other individuals and the ROCKD app that put me on the Vincentown formation and had a slight success. Mostly found coral but did come up with this. Possible spike or claw? It is roughly 1 and 1/2” long. Just trying to see what it could be as not much is found in my area as of late.

This piece is found along with Keichousaurus in Yunnan, China. That is, it’s Triassic. Any idea what is that? The “spines” measure about 10cm in length.

Found near Lake Huron Ontario. I can see the symmetry and the darker pieces on top and that they coincide with the curved spacing below. Hard to see in pics but I’ll do my best to show. I pointed out the two less obvious in the possibility it help in identifying due to the structure etc. The other is the lighter grey square that is more obvious and visible. Thank you

Hi! I've recently acquired unidentified fossil. It's from triassic location in Silesia, Poland. Can you give me some ideas on ID?

Hello everyone, First time posting here so sorry if I mess this up or offend anyone for a newbie asking for some ID help. On a recent trip to some of our Northern New Jersey spots, I’ve come across two things I have never found before and one vertebrae that I was hoping someone could maybe point me in a direction towards. All from Holmdel area. Images 1 and 2 is possibly coprolite? Has small “shell like” crust to it in some spots. 3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 is a small tooth in a piece of jaw bone or a claw piece possibly? Last four is the vert found. Roug

I have these two Hybodus spines from Morocco and was wondering in anyone could identify them from these pics? I am also wondering if there is a way to distinguish the dorsal and pectoral spines from eachother? Thanks for looking!

This is a fossil from Madagascar. Mahazanga. I don't know the rest. Is it a vertebra? Or some other structure?

I have several peices of Cretaceous Lens from Eagle Ford and decided to investigate it further, dissolving in vinegar and picking at it and so far came up with these. The one in the matrix looks like tooth or claw maybe, the base of it turns to white but it's eaten away and hard to see in picture. The other things are different, there are quite a few I can see in the big peices some are so small I can't photograph them. Urchin spines are the closest things I've seen to these but really don't know. The pen tip is next to objects for size comparison.

My guy found this while searching with a 365 nm uv lights for sodalite on a beach in Algoma WI. Lake Michigan. Can anyone offer a place for me to look for more information on what it could be? It is a 6 inch by 6 inch limestone rock. The object it 6 inches long and almost an inch wide. The backside of the rock has no fossil presence. The picture with the blue in the background is a 365 nm shortwave uv light. Thank you for looking

Really need help identifying these

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale I was cracking Phosphatic concretions and this baby popped out! I was excited and thought I should share and ask what it is! I believe it is a cartilaginous fish spine, but I have little knowledge in such topics. Ps Information on good glue to glue together the cracked piece is welcomed!

From the album: Fin Spine Fossils
Even Though it is Poorly preserved it measures just about 12.7cm there is not an ID on this one, although I assume it to be from a Hybodus or a large Ctenacanthus since this is found in Pennsylvanian aged rock There are Phosphatic nodules present in this limestone chunk suggesting it is from the formation: Muncie Creek shale -
Elrathia trilobites are very common, they're small, have no spines, and have a lot of preserved molts. On the other hand you have rare trilobites with spines covering its whole body or trilobites that exceed half a meter. These are not as common, but spines and size seem to be an evolutionary advantage. Why are the trilobites that seem to have the best chance of survival the rarest ones? Or is it just a marketing play?
