Just dug from Big Brook. Think it's definitely a bone...but is it modern or fossil?

Hey y'all... First time posting... I found this in Peace River, Florida... Is this a toe bone or what??? If so, from what???
-
I found this worn bone on Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. It's approx. 1" x 1/2". It has some unique characteristics that will hopefully help with an ID. The top has a circular indent that you can fit the tip of my finger in. The 2 longer sides are flat and the other a little more curved. I posted 6 different angles. Any ideas on this one? Thanks! Lynn

I'm horrible with bones so could be way off on this. Came from creek that's mostly QAL, it does not burn or smell and can't scratch it. Closest I could find is deer but they all look so similar! It has a reddish color, is that from staining?

I would be grateful if somebody could educate me on this fossil, I purchased a bag of misc fossil bones on online years ago and this was inside. It would be great to know more about it . I believe it came from Hell Creek. Looks really good condition to me. Toe claw ?.

I'm wondering what this is. My best (non-expert) guess is that it is a toe bone of some sort. It's about a couple inches (appx. 5cm) in length & equally wide. It resembles some smaller Hadrosaur phalanges I've come across, but that is just a guess. To the best of my knowledge, it hails from Hell Creek. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Hey, this is a bone that that my grandfather got with a bunch of other fossils for me and my siblings awhile ago before he passed away, I didn’t get interested in fossils till last year and found the jar with the other fossils most of the stuff in the jar were from Florida, but this one doesn’t look like most Florida fossils so I’m guessing it wasn’t found there. To me, it almost looks like some fossils I’ve seen from England, based on the mineralization and it’s super hard, what are your guesses on what it is?

Hello all Some time ago I got this bone from the Moroccan Kem Kem beds (Cenomanian in age). It looks like it's deformed during fossilisation (or afterwards). It would be 10 cm long, about 3,5 cm wide and 3 cm high in it's original state. So is this in fact a dinosaur toe bone? If so what family could it be? Or am I completely mistaken and is this something entirely different.

Found this today, not quite sure of the animal this toe bone belonged to?... As big as my fist. Help I’d’ if would be greatly appreciated...

I have found some unique items from my last trip I would like to share. But first I would like to say that i'm sad to see how people are treating the rivers lately. I have noticed a large influx of hunters and thats fine but the people digging huge holes in the sides of the river walls and bringing teams out to excavate large portions of riverbed make me sad. Gainesville has already stopped shovel digging in the rivers. Peace river is next if people don't start respecting the rivers more. So anyway I found what I think is a toe bone on my last trip. It was in a very over hunted area but there

Possible Suchomimus or theropod toe bone from the Elhraz Formation?
msantix posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, Saw this for sale and was just wondering if this looks like a theropod toe bone or if it could be narrowed down? it is labelled as from Suchomimus but it could instead be from a croc or another theropod if not Suchomimus. It is 10cm in length and comes from the Elhraz Formation in Gadoufaouna, Africa. Thanks. -
Hi, I’ve got some more fossils I’d and would appreciate if anyone could ID them. TIA.

Hello again. This was found on a beach by Charleston. Pleistocene/Pliocene era. I was wondering if this was a toe bone? If it is I would only need one more part to have a full section of toe bones including a claw I found. Thanks, Wyatt

Hello All! I am lucky in that I have two T Rex Toe bones to decide from. One is of an adult (5 inches and heavy) that may have pathology on it. Perhaps bitten and as such healed itself "gimpy" (top right). There is erosion through the bone and so the definition is much less. And it is possible that the loss of the section is to erosion but the collector believes there to be pathology. The other is a juvenile toe bone (3 1/2 inch). It is in great condition with good definition. Irrespective of the price, I am interested in you all helping me decide which one to choose. Thanks!

Possible Tyrannosaur foot phalange with some repair
msantix posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I was originally going to ask about the id of this bone, but i figured it is much more important to ask about any possible restorations done that aren't in the description. This is a 24cm toe phalange from an undescribed Tyrannosaur (from the Ajuga Formation). The seller has stated that the bone was found in many pieces that were put back together (it is slightly compressed) and had some crack fills (and a tiny bit of stain), but nothing else. May i ask for opinions, my main concern is whether it could be a composite but i am mostly unaware of the type of preservation found in this formation. -
So I found these fossil toe (possibly hand) bones at an antique store, they're allegedly the toe bones from a ground sloth, unfortunately there is no location for these specimens, while my instinct tells me they're from around the area; Florida, with no documentation I'm not sure. They were very lowly priced so even if they can't be ID'd I figured I might as well buy them, any ideas? Specimen 1 Specimen 2 (Note the blue mark was just an eraser shaving, my bad!)

Found all of these in that same small area of a river. The depth was about 3" of water and they were on the surface of the river bed with vegetation growing on most of them. One (by the 20" mark on the tape) I am sure is a toe bone. Any help would be appretiated. This is in the mid-Alberta area.

Struthiomimus Toe Bone ID Correct
TyBoy posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I saw this beautiful toe bone for sale and wondered if it's identified correctly, seller calls it a Struthiomimus. From the Hell Creek Formation of Montana, 2 3/4" long -
I found this toe bone this weekend and am working on an ID. It is from Florida's Peace River, Pleistocene, and is 1.5" long.

Hi all, I got this puny little phalanx from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco for a small price at the fossil fair. The seller said he didn't know what it came from. I am aware that Kem Kem bone ID is very very difficult, so if I don't get a species answer that is no problem! I would like to know though whether it's croc/dino/ptero, preferably a bit more precise too. What are your thoughts? If more pictures are needed, I will gladly make them. Thanks in advance, Max

Hi everyone! I found this in Montana this summer, and I'm pretty sure it's a triceratops digit. If so, is there a way to tell which it is? Just bored and curious. Also, which side would the vale core have attached to? The bumpy, textured side? It was pretty shattered when I found it, so I pieced it together. The white stuff is pales putty I just haven't painted yet. Thank you! -Lauren

Does Unusual Suggest it a Tyrannosaur
Troodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Well in the Hell Creek Formation there is very little you can describe by size or being unusual unless it's an adult T rex. Here a seller is trying to identify a toe bone and "suggests" that it's a Tyrannosaur because it's stocky and unusual. Well unusual is not a word that I've ever seen used to describe any species. One always has to look at the shape of a bone to help describe it among other factors. In this example the toe bone in question is not even from a theropod but my sense from a Thescelosaurus, and may be pathological. Digit IV phalanx 1 M- 2 replies

This is a Pleistocene metatarsal from what I believe is a cat like creature found in the N. Sulphur River, Lamar Co. south of Paris, Tx. Would like one of our bone experts to shed a little light on this. It is approx. 2 3/4 inches in length. highly mineralized so not present day. I have a thought as to ID but need to have other opinions, believe this is from a young animal---maybe. Thank you for your help Tom

Hi, Im strictly amateur, but have always found fossils fascinating. While walking along the shore of the Peace River in Wauchula awhile back, I found this fossil. I've searched and searched the web to try and identify it, and the closest thing I've come to it is a raptor toe. I've also found that that's extremely unlikely, but none of the other toe bones I have seen seem to come close, except for perhaps a giant sloth or a jaguar. Anyway, any help in identifying this fossil would be greatly appreciated!
