Hello, I'm interested to know if there's any way to narrow down what kind of animal this fossil is from? My dad tells me it was given to him by my great grandmother, who likely purchased it from a university in Western South Dakota in the 1940s or 50s. Our assumption is that it would have been discovered in that area, around that time. The fossil is about 4" x 1.5". I think it's so cool, but beyond guessing that it's "a bone" from "an animal that had bones," I'm at a loss. Thanks for any help!

Appreciate your time

I found this tooth in the overburden sight at my work. I actually found this tooth first, and went to grab a survey flag to mark the pile. On the way I found the shark tooth i just shared in an other post. It was an exciting day.

Judging from what I think is wear on the tooth ridges, I would hazard a guess that the horse was an old timer? While I personally am not fond of horses, it was really nice to have pieces that I could cl

Hi all, I recently acquired this coprolite specimen, and the only information I got from its owner was that it was from Adams Co., IL. The segment is phosphatic and measures 45 mm long with a 30 mm dia. In addition to crinoid inclusions, it looks to have eaten something that looks like coral. Did anything even eat coral? I am not at all familiar with the stratigraphy of the area. Based on what I have read, I am assuming it is carboniferous (Mississippian?), but if anyone out there is familiar enough with the area to narrow that down, it would be greatly appreciated. I am also trying to identi
