Please help ID any of these sharks teeth that were collected from the west coast of Florida (near Venice) this past weekend. Based on my research, the top two rows look like Sand Tiger and the bottom two look like Lemon. Would this be correct or are there any that look out of sorts?

In a late cretaceous marine formation I found two little pieces of jaw. I would like help in id if possible. One is maybe 2.5 cm in length and the other 3 cm, both have the ragged texture of almost everything from this site. I wonder (hope) if the upper is croc, and if the lower is a small mosasaur. It does not match the typical fish jaws that I find because of the sharp curve to the teeth. Help and ideas will be appreciated.

From the album: Some Minnesota ~Fossils
Found in Southern Minnesota crick bed. -
Out of the countless New Jersey cretaceous crab claws I've seen and found this has to be one of the strangest claw partials yet. Seems to be an ornamented shell as apposed to the smooth claw textures that are typically found. Definitely a very interesting piece, anyone have any ideas on a possible species or if any ornamental crabs have found in nj cretaceous, or any other new jersey cretaceous hunters ever come across one similar? Definitely a head scratcher

Can anyone help me ID this fossil tooth? I found it today at the Big Brooke Creek in New Jersey and I'm not sure how to figure out what it is. Thanks! Chandler Olson

I found this stone outside my house and have never seen one like this before. Could it be a fossil of some kind? I live in oregon but this could have been brought from somewhere else by the previous owners if the house. Any help is much appreciated!

Found this thick bone piece in a new jersey cretaceous creek and wonder if its possible to maybe id since one side has a distinct rough texture while the other is flatter and striated, I would guess either large turtle, mosasaur, or dinosaur. My friend joked its a theropod maxilary skull fragment, but we all know around here that material seems close to impossible to come across haha. Interested to hear any other thoughts.

Probably not anything that is able to be ID’d but the “eye” spots make me wonder if it is something worthwhile.

My 8 year old grandson found this in his backyard in Louisville KY

I found this half nodule in the southern area of Pit 11 several years ago. I was told by someone at a fossil show it is likely a piece of seaweed. He described it as it being a wavy leaf similar in appearance to a lasagna noodle. Any information about it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Found at the beach Outer Banks North Carolinia. Any help would be appreciated. It appears to be a hollow tooth or portion of a jaw line of some kind. It is 3.25 inches long, 1.75 inches wide, and 1.75 inches tall

So you know those spots of cobbles and gravel they use for landscaping around the grocer's and such? I found this outside our local Kroger clone here in Nebraska a few years ago...and have been perplexed ever since. Here is a mystery concretion fossil(?) I've been pondering for a long time: Truthfully when I first saw it, I thought meteorite? Botryoidal hematite? Then I flipped it over and thought, "There is no way this should be here." It doesn't make sense. I'm not even certain this is a fossil, but the microscope tells me it very likely is. I have seen stuff sort of like but not quite like this out of Morocco, but that makes even less sense for a corner curb filled with river rock in Corn Country. Perhaps some child dropped it? Some fellow fossil nut, seeding stuff for kids to find? Usually I find a bit of sandstone and limestone cobbles with a fossil or two, but this is just strange. So, I'm calling twonky. (Those that know, nod. Those that don't, google.) No clue, me. Anyway, anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped at this one. If it is what it appears to be, I'm not even certain of the critter type. How it got to where I found it will likely be a mystery forever I suspect. What I do know is that Mohs is between 7 and 8,(which doesn't make sense to me as that's a bit harder than most hematites I am familiar with) and should in no way shape or form be where I found it or even be where the river rock was likely sourced from. Did I get bamboozled by a prankster? WEird.

I had attempted to ID similar fossils awhile ago but feel they were lost in the trilobite photos. So today, I will only present these new unknown "blobs" from the Cambrian , Eau Claire Formation of western Wisconsin in hopes to definitively ID these. Maybe they are even geologic. Good Luck!!!!! Mike

Chenanisaurus Barbaricus Tooth? Or Carch?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Came across this tooth labeled as an abelisaurus belonging to chinanisaurus barbaricus from the Maastrichtian supposedly found in the phosphate mines of the Ouled Abdoun basin. Looks pretty thick to be abelisaurus and comparable to an extent to some carcharodontosaurus teeth. Is there a way tell the difference or will there need to be more specifics involved.

Found this worn down piece in a new jersey cretaceous creek, while I think its a random worn bone piece it does have some very odd parts to it that are interesting, hoping to get some feedback on this one. Will post more pictures soon

I found this strange form in a stone from ordovicium. The size is less than 1 cm, never seen anything like it. Look almost as it is artificial but it is a real fossile. Any one have any idea what it can be? Martin

Hello all, I recently acquired this unidentified illaenid trilobite from the ordovician of Sweden. It's had some sloppy repair work (which I'm hopeful I can improve) but before I do I'm hoping someone can help me put a genus to it. It has a long, robust genal spine which doesn't seem to match any illaenus I've seen from Sweden. Any help is appreciated.

I have a shell fossil that was found at millcreek on at pipeline trail in Utah. The ridges on the shelves are clearly defined and looks quite different than all the other shell fossils I have. I'm not one hundred percent at the Shell fosil of a bivalve shell. Any further information on this fossil would be great thanks.
