  1. Cardita Bed, Bracklesham, West Sussex Vertebrae help please and thank you. Exposures of the richly fossiliferous Palaeogene sediments, which comprise the Bracklesham Group (Eocene). 46 million years old. Easy hunting here on the beach and sharks’ teeth may be found by the hundred. I have vertebra, shark and ray teeth and more needing some IDs .

    Unknown likely associated vertebrae

    Hello! Here I am again, with 3 unknown vertebrae… I can’t provide provenance, so I don’t expect to get the exact species. But can anyone tell me from what kind of animal they were? Are they dinosaur or something else? Thank you for your time :)
  3. Been looking through some of my old Hell Creek Formation fossils I collected near Glendive, Montana a few years ago and these are a few vertebrae I found but could never ID. I can provide any additional photos needed. Thanks!
  4. Found this today 7/21/23 around Westport, Washington, USA beach.
  5. Thanks in advance. Any help you can give this newbie will be appreciated! I found this on east coast of central Florida, about a mile west of the Indian River Lagoon. It weighs about 10 grams. Most of the vertebra is hard like stone. Except on two of the sides, those cream color areas are like very densely packed powder. I've scraped away a lot of it and am wondering if I should try to clean it all out. Does an ultra sonic cleaner help with an item like this? Also, the concrete like deposits that are filling the openings. Can I aggressively clean those holes out? Any chance it's a xiphactinus?

    Back in NJ - Found Something New

    Hello everyone! Long time no see, I moved back to NJ a few months ago and finally went fossil hunting for the first time again this week. I found this vert in Ramenessin, and at first glance thought it was a shark vert, albeit I did think about the odd shape but didn’t give it much thought before I went back to sifting. Once I got home and examined it closer, however, I realized it was something else. It has what appears to be two holes on the bottom, although one of them I’m debating if it’s really there and just filled with sediment or just something else, and one on the top. Instead of being round, the sides are flattened. Now, I remember the two holes on the bottom and the one on top as being described as distinguishing of plesiosaur vertebrae. However, it’s smaller than their reported size. I failed to find any good reference pictures of crocodile vertebrae to compare it to, but I was wondering if it would be croc instead. I don’t like to jump to plesiosaur when I haven’t really gotten my hand on NJ fossils in over a year. I’m pretty rusty on my fossils, and have the initial excitement of getting back into it possibly clouding my judgement. Let me know if you need any extra pics, I lost my magnifier in the move and I’m really feeling the loss right now, lol! Thanks!

    Opisthocoelous Vetrebrae ID

    Found in Brunswick County, NC. Egg shaped cross section. At first thought whale but noticed convex , concave ends which I thought was more included in amphibian. Thought on what this came from?
  8. I know this may be a stretch but this one just seems different from all the other concretions, etc. there. Measures 1-1/2” (3.81 cm). Sorry for the not so great photos, and thanks for any help.

    Is this a fossil

    Found in a disused quarry in Oxfordshire.
  10. Hi, one of my friend sent me photos. And he said it’s from Spinosauridae. But I don’t really know it and it’s original or not. Ma I know the preservation of it is good or not, please? Thank you
  11. I was curious what this might be. I am under the assumption it’s some marine mammal. However I’ve found nothing remotely similar as far as dolphins go, so your guess is as good as mine

    Vertebra, Dugong or Manatee

    Went out yesterday.. Peace river is still the color of Pea Soup, and is at least a foot higher. I had some finds that I did not recognize, and decided to break these 2 out.. On Monday, partner tossed me a broken bone.I can find no break except leading down from 1st and 2nd photos. My partner called it a Dugong Vert process. I have searched both Dugong and Manatee Vertebrae without finding a match. We returned to this location yesterday. I found another bone, which my partner referred to as a "Topknot" for a Dugong Vertebra. Comparative bone is from the UFMNH website. Note that nothing quite matched the May 22nd find.. Thanks for the help , Jack

    I think this is modern I'm not sure

    Hey all I was out collecting in Vienna, Illinois yesterday and amongst what I found was this which looks like vertebrae. The thing is it looks to me to be a fossil but I'm not sure. It's about 3/8 th inch diameter. The area is Mississippian in age. Please can someone help, is this a modern critter vertebrae or indeed fossil. It was laying with a bunch of crinoid stems
  14. In clay from Egemkapel, Egem (Ampe, Belgium) I found a number of vertebrae? They date from the Yperian stage of the early Eocene. I would like to know if they fit bony fish or sharks? Fish... any moremore determination possible? Possibele small shark? possible small shark? No idea?

    Found this at Myrtle Beach

    Found this fossilized structure. Not sure what it is from. Bf says it’s from shark tooth and I say it’s not…it looks pointy from one side like a vertebrae.
  16. Hi, folks! Was in Amelia Island over the weekend and found this weird fossil. Definitely bone, but seems like it is a partial vert or something. Just doesn’t feel quite right to conclude there.
  17. Just come back from a fun trip to look for fossils in/around Whitby, and have a couple of finds I'm not 100% on. 1. I suspect this is a vertebra: 2. bones of some description, perhaps including some teeth? Thanks

    Unidentified Vertebrae

    Hi everyone, I'm very new to fossils and fossil collect and I just bought some off a private seller who got them from the somerset museum. I believe these a vertebrae and was wondering if anyone could tell me what they are from, or any general knowledge. Thanks

    Fossil Vertebrae?

    Found in the north sulfur river Texas, near Ladonia. Think it is a bone of some sort, any info would be appreciated!

    Small fish vertebrae?

    Found on the beach at Cape San Blas, Florida. Fish vertebrae? Is it a fossil? Thanks for looking.

    Pachycephalosaurus vertebrae

    Hello everyone, I'd like to submit this vertebra to you to understand if it really belongs to packycephalosaurus and possibly if in your opinion how much it has been reworked. Indications on the label: Dimensions: 125mm Origin: Hell Creek Formation, South Dakota, USA CRETACEOUS-Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian (66.0-72.1 million years) Thank you very much

    Vertebrae?

    Hi I found this yesterday on the beach in Sidmouth, East Devon, UK It was nestled in the rocks and part of a longer specimen- I was intrigued so was feeling around it and all the sand around it was loose (tide coming in, rock pools) and this middle section just popped free! I didn't have any equipment and wouldn't know what to do anyway so I brought it home rather than leave it as it would have been lost to the sea! There are others around, visibly. I am not even sure that this is fossil vertebrae but wondered what you guys think as I have seen similar photos online before. It's a shame I couldn't extract the rest but it's all still there, firmly attached to the rock. Any thoughts? There is also a mini fossil (wood louse type shape) on one end. I have no knowledge whatsoever although I love fossils and have collected some over the years in the somewhat drier region of Provence, France! Initial photos on the beach, wet. The others on 5mm squared paper at home. I haven't cleaned it up yet...
