Hi all! I recently purchased this dinosaur bone from an estate sale in Maryland USA. I think it looks like a vertebrae, but I’m not sure if I’m right. Does anyone know what it is, or even what it came from? It weighs 1.475lbs and was labeled from the Jurassic period (although the person that labeled it is a gemologist, not a geologist so it was his best guess after researching). The tape measurer pictured is in inches, I could not find one with centimeters. Thanks for any help!!!

Found this mandible in a rock fall at Calvert cliffs in June. I believe it’s mysticete because of the lack of tooth sockets, but am open to complete redirection if I’ve got it all wrong. Any ideas?

This was found on the sand in Myrtle beach South Carolina. Looks like a small vertebrae possibly or a fish skull element, it’s about the size of a dime. Thanks for looking.

Megalodon teeth and shark Vertebrae for trade
mattbsharks posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
These are mostly South Carolina River finds, with a couple of Moroccan specimens mixed in. The Megalodon teeth are all natural, ranging from 3” to the 4” range. The shark vertebra go up to about 3.5” in diameter. I have more elsewhere as well. And more Megalodon teeth. LOOKING FOR: I am open to all offers. I am especially interested in matrix pieces of different kinds, unprepared fish, but again I am very open to all sorts of offers. -
Hi! I'm new here. I found this fossil recently near Drumheller, Alberta Canada. I think it's a vertebrae but I can't seem find example images of anything like it due to its asymmetrical shape. It was found near both other marine (bi-valve) fossils and other bone fragments. Not sure if it comes from a dinosaur or marine reptile. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Matt

How do you differ between bony fish vertebrae and shark vertebrae? What about these three vertebrae from Kiowa formation (Albian)? #1: approximately 5.5mm wide and 3mm thick. #2: approximately 5.5mm wide and 2.3mm thick. #3: approximately 4.8mm wide and 2.3mm thick.

I found this while walking on the beach before sunset today. Need help identifying it, if possible. Based on limited research and comparisons, the fossil is no doubt a vertebrae and looks very similar to some I have seen associated with a Mosasaur. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP OR IDEAS THAT MAY BE GIVEN!!!

Found yesterday near the milk river, Judith river formation. The biggest vert we’ve found for sure. Several other fairly large verts nearby that seemed to be hadrosaur, but not sure - and still 1/2 the size. Lots and lots of meat eater bones as well. -sorry the photos are rotated

A couple of verts from the milk river Judith formation. Different shapes - assuming different dinosaurs. I know they’re a bit broken up, but just curious if anyone can tell what they’re from based odd the pics alone. first four pics from one vert, last three from the other thanks!!

Hi everybody I found another seller who is wanting to sell this fossil - about 80 cm (Mosasaur vertebrae). Decent price, but maybe a bit to good to be true. Because I'm very new to the 'bigger specimens'-collecting (only bigger items from mostly quaternary/tertiary), I would like to get your opinions on it. Can ask for further detailed photos if needed. Kind Regards Max (Belgium)

Labelled as sauropod. Photo 1 and 2 is 5 inch by 3.5 inch Photo 3 and 4 is 12 cm by 13.5 cm x 4.9 cm Both are from Oxfordshire. So I'm guessing if they are sauropod, they are probably cetiosaurus. Thanks very much

Sold as Coelophysis tooth, claw and vert set. From Bull Canyon. Seller has quite a few, so I just picked two at random. Is it coelo, or something else? Thanks

Hi, We hired a mansion that was abandoned for several years and strolling through the gardens I saw what I thought was a small concrete chair, hidden under leafs and bushes. I did not give it a second thought until the next day when I looked at it again and recognized it as a vertebrae, a big vertebrae. Upon giving it a closer look I saw that it was not concrete but more likely bone. And then I figured it could be a dinosaur bone, hence coming here and asking your opinion. Full width is about 60 cm, see pictures below. Thanks in advance. Best, Pieter

Are there ways to differentiate long neck plesiosaur bones vs. pliosaur bones*(specifically vertebrae from the kimmeridge clay in this case), other than by size, in some cases? *or any of the paddle bones

I found this partial vertebra at the north Sulphur River in Texas last week while hunting with my son. I am pretty certain it is turtle but is there any way to identify it further? Thank you for any help.

Westmoreland State Park, VA, USA: Unidentified possible vertebrae, rib(?), and shark tooth
Bowmania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I had a fairly productive first outing to Westmoreland State Park but I have no idea what any of the fossils I found are. I am happy to provide close-ups of any of the individual fossils, and in addition to the photos here, I posted some to imgur to get around the size restriction here. https://imgur.com/gallery/2uIedQS Thanks for your help!- 11 replies
