Found this very interesting bone fossil while hunting sea glass in Italy. I apologize for not having proper measuring tools, I just moved to Italy! The photos are taken on a standard US sized CD case. any ideas?? Thanks!

Hello all I have an unusual request for you all. I would like to see the results of prolonged weathering of in-situ fossils. So I was wondering if someone here has ever seen a fossil in-situ they didn't think was possible to extract, and a fossil of the same, or similar piece worn away sometime later. Ideally with an estimated time for the fossil to wear down. The turtles of the White River formation are the first thing that come to mind about this, but trackways should be possible too. The more impressive the fossils is, the better. Additionally, a picture of a specific natural spot (clif, badlands...) with a picture of the same spot over a period of time, to see how quick the environment can change the view of the landscape. I'm aware it's an unusual request, but this isn't something you can easily find on the internet. Hope I made some sense throughout this post. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I found this bone on the beach today and wanted your guys thoughts. I really didn’t think it was fossilized, but I did the burn test anyway to be sure, and there is no burning hair smell. What are your guys thoughts? It was found in New Jersey, on a beach where I have found a couple shark teeth(4 or 5) including a Great White and a couple sand tigers. I think it’s a worn vertebrae, but I don’t know beyond that. When I get home I can get measurements, but I’d guess ~1-1.5” by ~1”. @Praefectus @Al Dente @MarcoSr @Darktooth @hokietech96 @Trevor @frankh8147

Hello everyone I've been reading the forum for about a year but this is my first post/question. I found this today that I think might be a mammoth milk/juvenile tooth. I found it on a Savannah River, GA dredge spoil island that has a mix of Miocene to modern fossils and bones. Most of what we find is heavily worn and tumbled by the river or dredging. I saw this and first thought it was just another rock and then something made me hold on to it. It's heavily worn but it looks pretty much like a tooth I bought off of online. The first two images are of it by itself. The last two images are posted next to a Mammoth milk tooth that I bought off of online a year or so ago from Florida (online tooth on the left in the last 2 images and today's tooth on the right for comparison). Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated. Let me know if there are other sides/angles that would be of more help for ID. Thank you very much for looking.

Found this at GMR the weekend of the Aurora festival. Could this be an Angustidens or possibly older? It’s really worn so an exact ID might not be possible but it seems the cusps would have been really prominent had they not been so worn. This was sifted from the creek bed. Is Auriculatus a possibility in this case? It was very interesting to me.

Hi! So I found a shell one of my old friends gave me when I was a child and I remember he told me this was a very old shell, I'm curious if this is a modern shell thats just really worn or if it's a fossil. I don't know enough to be able to tell myself sadly. Thank you!
