Hi there, The kids had a nice few little finds today at Walton On The Naze, Essex (UK). We got there just as the tide was revealing the beach so had some nice fresh cliff fall and stoney sand to sort through. Rest assured that any help advising what their finds may be will be greeted with great enthusiasm and excitement! (They are 5 and 8 - and very excited to post this here!). Thank you, G.

Was digging up a part of the yard with lots of chert scrapers we found and thought I saw something. Mud was wet so wasn't sure. After it dried I found these inside. Is this something or am Crazy?

I've bee looking around at different vertebrae but cannot seem to find a match any ideas? A rough guide in the right direction as to what it looks like it could be from? ventral to dorsal measurment are 12mm anterior to posterior is 15mm and lateral left to right side is 21mm Thanks in advance.

Can anyone possibly ID these processes? Are they from different species? I know it's a long shot, but I won't know unless I ask. They're from hell creek. that's all I know about them. The first one is 2.75" tall, and the second is 3.25" tall. That's all the information I have about them.

We found this fossil this afternoon in Big Brook, NJ...trying to figure out what type of fossil bone it is (or hopefully is); any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Found this in a creek on my dad's land while arrow head hunting. Place is located east of Waco. Please help identify.

I found this on the Frio river bed by Uvalde, Tx and it looks like a vertabra of some kind. Rather large and it has the common shape and segments. Here’s a picture

Hi, found these today at Speeton, UK. Could anybody tell me what they are, was thinking they may be a possible vert, but I wouldn’t have a clue myself.

Hello! I have tried looking this up and I can't figure it out. I was hoping someone could help. I found at wrightsville beach, NC. Thank you very much for taking the time to help! Karen

I found these and I think they are fossil vertabraes of fish but I am not sure. I found them at a brook in Holmdel NJ and they are pretty small. I think two of them are vertabrae but I am not sure about the other two.

Ok so after doing a lot of buying collecting and digging in the Kem kem area of morocco I have some nice finds that I could use help identifying if that is ok first one to post is a vert unsure of its species though and ultimately did not buy as was expensive but would love to know the rest of the fossils I own need cleaning before taking pictures but when that is done will post here if that is ok with you good folks.

was sent these pictures by a Moroccan dealer i was wondering about it being a sauropod vertebrae since it has a very small foramne, any thoughts or input would be nice and if so could this be from the only described species rebbechasaurus ?

Thinking of buying a fossil but is it a small theropod or a juvenile?
Haravex posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I am thinking of buying this but have no idea if it is just a small vert or juvenile as it's for the kem kem dealer I know it is genuine but there would be no way to put an i.d. on it apart from caudal.

I acquired this worn metaxytherium floridanum vertabra from a trusted seller, its from the peace river formation of Polk county (Miocene) and its very quickly trying to turn itself to sand, especially in one area. How do I keep this from happening, cheaply and quickly? Here are some pictures from the seller, but I have it with me so I can take more. @Ptychodus04

Okey donkey, my sister just brought this to me. Found hiking in a dry riverbed in Paso Robles, California. The area and rock tell me it is Monterey Shale Formation (Miocene). I said it looks to be fish, but the size of the ribs don't seem to fluctuate which would make it a long creature. Now there is an outcropping of Pipefish about 15 miles south of here, could it be one or ? As you can see from my hand, it is about a 1 1/2" long vertibral column. Thanks, caldigger

Was lucky enough to get some access from a nice fella about a mile and a half north of Chippokes State Park. Very nice spot and untouched. Some pretty cool finds in just a couple hours.

Good afternoon, Well here goes my first post and I hope some of you might find it interesting. Two years ago, we found this in our mine at White Cliffs NSW. For those of you who don’t know, White Cliffs is an opal mining community and was Australians first commercial opal field and today it still produces some of the finest opal in the world. You will hear people say that mining there is non-existent as it is mined out; well nothing is further from the truth. Only one percent of the field has actually been mined, so there are still lots of discoveries being made. Anyway, I am getting off track. Here are a couple of photographs of the opal when we found it and what has been partially cleaned so far. The whole fossil when finally reassembled will be about 20cm long and tapers from 16mm wide at the top down to 10mm wide at the end. I was surprised at the quality of the opal. When we first uncovered it, it appeared to be mostly potch, however on cleanup, it runs about 90% precious opal. It is all full colour opal, and varies between $2500 per carat and about $100 per carat. Most of the opal would value at $500 per carat and so working on an overall average value of $350 per carat, the opal value of this fossil alone is around AUD$25,000. There is still a fine layer of white clay across most of the opal which makes the colour almost impossible to photograph, but it really is a beautiful specimen (there is still more pieces to be cleaned to be added – the photos are incomplete). If I may ask advice from the forum, I would really like to lightly polish the opal while still retaining the fine detail of the individual vertebrae and at the same time displaying the brilliant colours of this opal – would this be recommended or frowned upon by fossil collectors? I plan to reassemble the fossil using a clear two pack resin (same as we use for mounting opal in settings), would this be ok, or should I be reassembling it by another means? The original sandstone it was found in was very friable and decayed quickly. Should I mount it on a small block of sandstone (or maybe basalt, I think it would look spectacular with the black background in contrast). There is still a lot more cleaning to go yet and many smaller pieces to be reassembled, but any advice would really be appreciated and comments welcomed. Best wishes and thank you for your time, Chris.

Hello All, Can anyone ID this warn specimen? I think It's a large reptile tail vertabrae. Found in Barrington, Cambrideshire recently... Not sure if the hexagonal appearance is due to erosion or not. Any clues much appreciated. Best Pica

So I bought this piece of matrix with some cool little bones in it. With a Mosasaur tooth, a reptile vert and some fish bones visible. Photo of most of the prepping done before removing the bones from the matrix All of the loose bones. The Mosasaur tooth looks like it's probably Prognathodon. But while the vert certainly looks reptilian, I'm not sure if it's Mosasaur or something else. In total one Mosasaur tooth, a reptile vertabra, Five types of fish verts, two types of fish jaws and a tiny shark tooth. Pics of the vert. Small piece of fish jaw, but dunno which. And a bizarre piece, what I can only think is some kind of fish jaw piece but I have no idea what it's from. Anyone have any ideas?
