Thought you'd get a kick out of my latest find. I get called quite often to do property clean up for private parties. Sometimes it's the property owner who calls & others, it's the county threatening fines if it's not brought up to code. This particular job was the owner cleaning up after his wife had passed away. There was a shed in the backyard that was packed full of their things that had been put there when they bought the place & moved in. It hadn't been touched since. It was a mess of boxes & alot had simply sat there while anything that could rotted away. Down under everything I came across an old steamer trunk, actually 3 of them, but one in particular was quite rewarding when I got past the rusty locks & hinges. Inside there was what remained of some women's clothing. Most of it was beyond recognition but as I was tossing dried up chunks away... ..well, a pictures worth a thousand words. Right? I know! Crazy Right? It's a perfectly preserved pair of Levi's except all the vertical threads have crumbled away. The seams, pockets, zipper & everything are still intact. The picture below is what the vertical threads look like now. Freakish! LOL.

Can you guys identify this for me please? thank you! Very weird species. My observations: skull and dentition resembling modern felines, with eye sockets to the front and sharp teeth pointing to carnivores. If you look at the feet, knees and lung, the lungs are thin on top then enlarge at the bottom, the knees are similar to ours (bent to the front) instead of cats (bent to the back) and has large long feet. These three factors indicate the possibility of a biped specimen? Notice how each feet has one finger with an extra bone, like some dinosaurs, maybe housed a claw? However, the Waist bone and spine bending at the beginning of the waist bone show that the species is more inclined to walk on all fours. The problem is that this fossil is lacking arms, with no presence or indicator of even a shoulder socket (weird, or possible?). I am confused! Please help

Hi all, Found these oddballs at Cap-Blanc-Nez, France. So Cretaceous in age. What do you think they are? I'm not even sure that they are anything, they might just be weird geologic formations. Looking forward to hearing your opinion. Thanks in advance, Max Oddball #1: (kinda flat; and the white spots are concave)

Hello all! I am so happy to find this amazing forum. I love looking through all the amazing things people are finding! It's a great site. I have returned to the same place in this river I have found a bunch of interesting objects and animal teeth. Today, even though it was very cold, I did some river hunting when the sun was out and made it fairly decent. I came across this odd stone or object. I have been going to this same stretch of river ofr about 6 months now, have purchased a few geology books and searched online but haven't come across something like this yet. I just have no idea what this is. Any ideas? Thank you for your time, I greatly appreciate your feedback!

My son found this in a creek LOADED with cretaceous fossils (shells, sea uchins, shark teeth). Is this a fossil or just a rock?

Found this on the Frio River near Uvalde, Tx. It has a strange shape with a lip around one side of it and it appears to have some kind of a core. Here are some pictures.

In your opinion, what is the weirdest fossil vertebrate? I would like to see pictures! I will start out with the Helicoprion shark!

This elrathria kingii was bought last winter in Okinawa. This is a pretty weird case because when I flipped it over, there seemed to be some weird markings. Furthermore, the trilobite did not seem to be casted from the outside, there is some cracking and no air bubbles visible. Also, there were quite a few for sale, and none looked the same. Plus, this species is so common, there shouldn't be any economic value in faking it. Any help is appreciated. See what I mean?

Hi all, I found this fossil oyster (Ostrea edulis) two days ago on the Zandmotor (Netherlands). It's from the Eemian stage of the Pleistocene (120'000 years old). What made me pick up this oyster was its really weird feature. In the inside, this looks like a normal oyster: But when you turn it around, you can see that this oyster had a really rough time! Part of it is completely crushed, pushed in. And there are weird lines on it too. Now of course, the first idea that came onto my mind was that this oyster got crushed when it got pumped out of the sea and thrown onto the beach. But this wouldn't really work, because if you apply just a bit of force anywhere on a fossil oyster, it will easily break/snap. It won't get a new shape. And I have no clue what might have made those weird lines on it. Therefore, I ask your opinion: what do you think happened to this oyster for it to become crushed (but not break), and have those weird lines? Looking forward to some interesting theories!

I've just returned from a trip to runswick bay in Yorkshire England. here is one of my finds, it's really smooth on the outside. Maybe someone knows what it is.

I have had this for afew years, does anybody have any ideas what it could be? I'm not sure where it's from originally, but the shape looks pretty unusual.

Hi, Here is a very weird sharktooth from Hoevenen (BE) --> Miocene. I can't find anything that looks similar to it, therefore I'd like your help on this one. Note that the tip is a bit broken off. Also, does anyone know a good guide that could be used to IDing sharkteeth? Best regards, Max

I have had this since I was around 7, and i never could think of what it was, and just now got the idea to ask the internet. It's porous like bone (I'm not sure it's fossilized at all) and all i can say is that it looks like a tiny elephant tooth (of course thats not what it is). Sorry for the bad quality photos, I have trouble uploading things, but I hope someone can give me an idea.

I found these on (once again lake ontario), I will post individual photos in following posts.

Hello there guys, I recently visited a cave up in the Mediterranean mountains with a group of fellow fossil hunters, among the fossilized water droplets covering the floor I found this strange specimen, I have found many fossils during my fossil hunting lifetime but I am not very good at identifying them. I'd really appreciate any help on what this is, to me it looks like anything from a fossilized skull to a fossilized sapling. I doubt it is a sapling though seeing as I found it in a cave. Thank you
