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 My suggestion in most case is to ignore the description, unless it's obvious, and try to figure out what the specimen is on your own or through the forum..thumb.jpg.b35c979f17fd6f312173e68cbfea4f51.jpg)

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

From the album: North Sulphur River Texas

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!

Is this a toe bone?
