Found in Hidalgo County NM and under about 6 inches of soil. Help is appreciated.

Hello and thank you all in advance for your time. Found this while walking on a beach looking for shark teeth. Does anyone have any ideas of what it might be?

I haven't posted in a while, but have had some pretty good hunts over the last couple of years. This year has been busy with work. I made it down to the river for some fossil hunting for my first time in 2021 last Friday. I had a really nice day. The weather was beautiful. I had great visiblity. I'm hoping to go again tomorrow. I took some photos of some of the days finds. First photo: - One of the things I was most excited about is a potential talon of a bird of prey. It is broken, but you can see it in the photos below. I am pretty excited about this. I actually bought a couple of fossil eagle claws several years ago. I don't buy many fossils and I really never buy anything that I think I have a chance to come accross in my hunts, so this was totally unexpected. - I also found more shark teeth than usual. A lot of them are in poor condition, but there were a couple that were nice. - I found several gator teeth and a couple osteoderm pieces. These are pretty common from my experience with the area. I do like the one with the root though. None of them are very big. - I found a number of fish spines, scales, mouth plates. Those are all pretty common. - I found three items that i'm not sure of. My guess is that they are turtle beaks, but i'm not sure that's right. If anyone has an ID on that, it would be much appreciated. I don't think I have found these before, but I'm probably just forgetting b/c I found 3 in one day. Second photo: - I found the typical bone fragments and tried not to keep as much broken stuff as I usually do. The cannon bone and the bone above and to the left were found within a few feet of each other just laying on top. I love finding any bones that are complete, and I think a lot of times that happens to be bones in the tow and ankle because they are smaller. I'm not sure the species of what's below, but I would guess horse and deer. I find some smaller bones too which I think are too things like rodents and birds (when hollow), but I'm not 100% sure. I also think I found a fossil twig. The item labeled "Unk 2?" is something that is very common. I always thought these were from turtles, but I'm really not sure. - When I do find bone fragments and they include the connector pieces sometimes I keep them. The one in the second photo seemed like it had a similar shape to the end of the horse cannon, but it is much larger. - I always like finding mammal teeth (several photos). I found a number of mammel teeth, but most were in very poor condition. I think that one of them was from a camel, but i'm not sure. - I think i found the deer hoof claw core, which I was happy to find. I was very happy to see the giant beaver tooth. I think that's the best one I have ever found. The other side doesn't look as good as this side. - I think I found a peice of a rodent jaw. Not my best. I have seen them with teeth and the incisor in the past. - I always love finding canines. This is one of the smallest I have found. I'm guessing racoon, but I really have no idea. Sorry, I don't think the photo is very good on that one. - I also really like turtle shell especially if the patterns on it are nice. I picked up probably way to much, but here are a few of the nicer pieces. - I think that I found a peice of a crab claw, not too pretty, but not something I see a lot of. I have found several peices of what I think are crab shells, I will have to post some somtime. Photo 3 - I think this is a piece of a turtle shell, but it's not very similar to what I usually find. - some additional foot bones (I think) - I am not sure about these other two. I think maybe one is part of an alligator osteoderm and another is part of an alligator skull, but I really don't know. If anyone has any ideas on that, I'd love to hear it. Photo 4: - Partial mastadon tooth. Finding a complete one is on my list of things I would really love to find. I find peices fairly regularly, but this is probably bigger than most. - The top photo on the right, is something I see all the time. I'm not 100% sure what it is, but I think it's some type of fish. - The other photo is a bunch of random stuff, I'm not sure if any of them are interesting, there are some more photos of some of these on the next photo. Photo 5 This photo has a bunch of stuff that I thought was interesting, but I really don't know what they are. Some of them maybe nothing, but if anything looks interesting let me know. If I had to guess: - Unk 3 - maybe just a bone fragment, shape made it seem like a claw core, but not sure - Unk 4 - I was thinking that this might be a part of cannine with the enamel worn down, but I think it's probably just a phosphate pellet - Unk 5 - I thought maybe a tip of a mastadon tooth, but this seems wrong. Not sure. - Unk 6 - not sure... Outer layer seems to be enamel, so i'm thinking some kindof mammel tooth? - Unk 7 - part of an herbivore mammel (horse maybe) tooth that just wore and broke in a weird way? - Unk 8 - maybe just a weird shaped phosphate pellet - Unk 9 - maybe just a broken bit of a tooth. the shape repminds me of a type of sawfish, but I think that would be more flat and less round. - Unk 10 - not sure, just broken bone peice maybe - Unk 11 - not sure maybe a trace fossil

Hi all - I am new to the group so please forgive me if I miss any information. I found this piece in question on a sandbar right off of Wallops Island, Virginia. I believe it is some kind of tooth or claw/talon. Unfortunately I am on vacation and left the piece at home. But I estimate it to be around 6 inches long (0.15 meters) and about 2 inches wide (0.05 meters). It has a little weight to it but still light. This was the best picture I had that shows the full piece and the root top.

Found this at Discovery Park, (a rocky beach), in Seattle WA. I think its a fossilized bird claw or talon. I donn't know if it is..... or what its is. Any info would be appreciated. Would love to know what animal it came from if its a fossil. Thanks! A
