I found this on my walk through the park here on the gravel drive... Location West of Houston Texas The gravel came from a deposit from the Brazos River Its odd appearance made me pick it up...what in the heck is it though??

I'm posting this for a friend who found this little oddity mixed in with broken shells on North Myrtle Beach. My first thought was vertebrae but it seems to lack an obvious center hole, although the white spot in the first picture looks like it could be a filled-in hole. I haven't seen it in person so I can't describe it any better than that, and sorry for the photo quality...not my pics. I know that's not much to go on, but any thoughts on what it could be would be much appreciated.

I can't tell do i have here. Looks good to me. Seller says species not confirmed, possible deltadromaeosaurus. -
Picked this up today on Myrtle Beach. I thought it was a steinkern, slightly different shape than others I'd collected. Then I noticed pitting - like marrow - on part of it. (See second photo.) It's a very distinctive shape, so wondering if anyone sees a recognizable bone in this, or is just a steinkern that those little hole-diggers got ahold of? Thanks!

The black part of this is so smooth and shiny, it truly looks like an enamel. But even though it is somewhat conical, it doesn't seem to be a tooth. Part of it looks very much like plain rock, but then the shape looks rather deliberate. Oh I don't know - I give up. Any ideas?

No idea. Kind of reminds me of a sea urchin, but not quite. Also reminds me of the kind of "hat" an acorn wears. It's got a little peak to it. Animal? Plant? (Side view and better top view added below in a post.)

This is serendipitous, I've had this fossil from Haida Gwaii for 3 years and I just recently started looking into its origin, as in this week and now I stumble on this website and someone else just posted 17 minutes ago inquiring about an HG find. So I found this on the beach and also found one that looks like the one that Haida Gwaii Beach Finds was asking about. Any insight on species and approximate era would be much appreciated!

I thought maybe some kind of steinkern, but part of it is pitted like bone marrow. It doesn't resemble anything else I've found. It's pinched at the top. The top pinched end is smooth and shiny - almost enamel-like. The bottom half is round and pitted.

Good morning. Here is the fifth in my series of eight unidentified trilobites. Yes, the usual lack of additional information precludes me providing any ....:/

Hello everyone! A friend of mine was just given a group of fossils from a relative and has very little/no info on them. Through searching through this forum, we were able to I.D. most of the pieces, but this one we were unable to recognize and were hoping someone could help. There is no locality information associated with it unfortunately. Thank you everyone for your time/help, I really appreciate it!

Good morning all. I am still digging through my unidentified draw again and I came across this "tooth" or "barb", not sure. It looks like a tooth to me, maybe you can help. I don't have any information on this item as it was given to me many years ago by a friend.

I know this is an old thread sorry. I have a very similar fossil that I found in a pallet of Pennsylvania fieldstone back in late 2010/early 2011. I have kept it all these years always meaning to research it and just this morning stumbled across it and decided to do some googling and happened to find this thread. I really do believe mine is two or three digits of a human hand or possibly a dinosaur with a very similar skeletal structure in its feet.

I have shown several of these things to a number of micro-paleontologist, paleontologist, geologist and marine biologist and no one seems to know for sure what these specimen are. They were found in a sandstone boulder with bivalves fossils, they range in size from about 3mm to about 0.20mm. I'm told that they are most likely a new foraminifera species. Anyone have a clue???

I believe that this is just geology, but would like a second opinion.
turtlefoot posted a topic in Fossil ID
I am assuming that this feature is just geology, but I would like a second opinion on this if possible. My eyes do wonders at seeing what I want to see instead of what is actually there. Thank you. This was found in Douglas County, Missouri, USA in the Roubidoux Formation. The feature in question measures 84x31mm. The host rock is 20x12.5cm. It was found near a seasonal creek bed where gastropods, rugose coral and crinoids have been found. Numerous trace fossils have been found in the area also. Thank you for your time and help. -
Possibly a burrow? Found beneath the Chinle formation on US89 in northern Arizona. 4 inches long, 2.5 inches tall, with a slight curve and a flatter bottom side. The rock looks like limestone, but was found on a flat wash without similar rock in the nearby area.

From an estate sale that I acquired some rock boxes. Here are some teeth. The only tag that IDd them was .... wait for it.... teeth! Any ideas? Again, these don't go with my collection but would be nice to ID a little more.

Found this strange chunk of something in a creek in southwest missouri, it weighs 6.3 grams feels like their is nothing in your hand when holding it, it is somewhat covered in something white and has a few tiny black spots on the white stuff and kind of has a sulfer type of smell, I know it's not a fossil but I was really hoping someone might have an idea of what it could be? I thought of maybe old molted lead that cooled but I figured it would be alot heavier.

Years ago bought some rock boxes from an estate sale in California. Included were some fossils I just don't know anything about. Most had vague or no IDs. The larger of these Sea Stars is approximately 6.5mm across. Gonna post a few here just to see if anything interesting although these have no connection to my collection.
