Found in top a hill in the forest last year was far to interesting to leave!! Very Heavy for its size has a small piece of petrified wood sticking out the side. To me resembles a hip bone or shoulder. Found in Higbee, Missouri.

I found this tooth in the peace river it seems to just be the Crown since the majority of the root is broken off. Wondering if anyone knows what it is. Looks like some type of cetacean tooth, but im hoping for mammal. If anyone needs additional photos please just ask. Thanks

I had the fantastic luck to find a 2" Otodus obliquus both of my last two trips out, one of which with a neat little pathology. The 2" striatolamia was another outsatnding find, I can still count on my fingers the number of teeth this size I've found in the Aquia Formation. Thanks for looking and happy hunting! .

Hello! I have been fossil hunting for quite a bit now and this is my first ever (what appears to me at least) fossilized bone! I would love just a general direction on what kind of animal it could’ve been- I know this area is very well-known for marine fossils, so of course my first thought would be some find of fish bone? Or I could be totally wrong, and it could be a more recent mammal! Any insight is so much appreciated- all I want to do is expand my knowledge. Thank you!

We found this skull in the Peace River in south central FL. Can anyone help to ID? Many of the people I was with who are FL natives, and frequent fossil hunters, seemed to believe it is alligator. But I’m not convinced. It doesn’t resemble any of the crocodilia species. It lacks all teeth (and tooth cavities) and the overall shape is completely different. Based on the fused vertebrae at the base of the skull and the dental formation, I would have suggested either a bird or, more likely, of a marine species? On a not so serious note, I also would have been more inclined to believe it was of Jar Jar Binx. 😅

Hello! This is my first time posting on this forum. I am hoping that someone can help me identify what I have found on the beach of NC. It is < 1in and hollow in the bulbous part (unsure if long part is hollow). It doesn’t look like a typical shark tooth and it doesn’t look like a typical shell found in Wilmington. I have Google image searched images from all different angles and the closest comparison I’ve received is a dinosaur tooth…. But that doesn’t seem plausible.

I only have these 2 photos. A friend has the fossil and doesn’t know where it came from. It measures about 11 inches in length. At this point that’s about all I know. Thank you all so much for your help to identify.

Does anyone know why my meg tooth is spotted?
Gregorsamsa posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! Not too long ago I acquired this meg tooth. Although I love the way it looks, I am unsure why it does look like this. Usually teeth seem to be more even colored. Does anyone more knowledgeable know?

Ammonite - real or fake?
CuentoDeHadas posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello again helpful people! I am back requesting any information people can tell me about this ammonite I bought? I didn't previously have any suspicions about it being fake (and don't really understand how the pattern in the stone would be faked). However, I have since bought a trilobite from the same source (that you may have seen in my previous post) that did turn out to be fake and that I will be returning. I still have the option to return this one as well if it is fake so appreciate any feedback!

Found this at a park in Missouri can anyone help me figure out if this is a fossil or artifact
-
I'm a super baby amateur that doesn't know different kinds of rocks from each other, but I found this on a beach in Staten Island (a part of New York City). Current family argument is: Tooth or barnacle? If it's a tooth, what animal could it be from? Thank you for any help you can provide!

After great input from the community, the tooth is likely a Plesiosaur and not Mosasaur. Thank you everyone! For my birthday last weekend, my girlfriend and I returned for our second trip to Big Brook in New Jersey. I couldn't have asked for a better day. We came into the day joking about finding a Mosasaur tooth for my birthday... well.. the luck of the Irish was on my side. Braving the still frigid water and sub 40 degree temps, I was rewarded with my first ever Mosasaur tooth. I would also like confirmation that it is Mosa and not crocodile. Unfortunately it is not whole, but it is rather large, and I couldn't be happier. In total we found around 111 teeth and some other non teeth related fossils. Most were shards, broken, or unremarkable but below are the complete and nicer finds of the day. Thanks for looking and any comments! Shoutout to the Philly Fossil Collector on instagram for helping me with ID and advice! I don't remember your username on here though! Partial Mosasaur tooth: Any information known on my specific find, I would absolutely love. Overall complete and nice finds of the day (Me). Partial Mosasaur tooth Shark teeth: Crow, Goblin, Mackerel. Any others? Shark Vert? Enchodus teeth (2) Pycnodont Fish Crusher Tooth Chunk of obsidian/phosphate? Ill have to follow up with some pictures but when in the water it had streaks of gold like pyrite. Shark Vert? My girlfriend found this one, would love confirmation on what type of vert. Check out the coloring on this beautiful tooth. This is the smallest whole tooth I've ever found, anyone know the ID? 18206F19-E91F-40B7-BCD2-82154A49D0D5.mp4

Hi everyone! This is my first post on here and I made an account just to ID this because this has been puzzling me for years. I found this in a vase of seashells that I bought down in Daytona, Florida in 2014. That’s pretty much all I remember about it. Ever since I’ve been wondering what it is. It has a very smooth and polished feel to it, like ceramic. There aren’t any ridges except for a very faint shell imprint near one of the edges, which I included in the photos. I think it is a shell fossil as well but I’d like to know what kind? It just looks pretty weird but cool to me. It’s a little over two inches, as pictured. I hope the photos provided are enough and thank you to anyone who helps out!

I found both of these in a creek near the peace river just wondering what they were? Find 1 I think is a camel tooth, or cow but im not entirely sure especially since its some what white near the top. Find two im hoping is a sloth tooth but i don’t have enough experience to be sure. Any help would be appreciated.

This was found in a dried up creek bed in Arizona, near Tombstone, Arizona. At first I seen the crystals sparkling and thought, "cool an old 'Hag Stone'. ...in the desert???" On further inspection it kind of has a distinct shape. Also the hole look much like sinuses in a skull, possibly bird.
