Help!? This looks like it's a carved figure. It was found in southern California in a very old area known to contain mammoth and ancient American Indian and mezo American finds. Last photos show area where it was dug and the site shows unnatural looking rock outlays. Could it be a Dino!!! Thanks for any insight on this find. I am completely new And hooked regardless.

Hello. I am new to the site, and fossils in general. I live in Lexington Park, Maryland. Would anybody be able to help me identify this “slab” that I recently found at the bottom of a very shallow creek behind my house? The creek connects to the Patuxent River. The bottom of the creek contains copious amounts of clay, and possibly contains a lot of iron in the water due to red staining on some of the artifacts that I have found. To me, it looks like some sort of reptile, possibly a baby dinosaur, that had been crushed during either a flood, or landslide. I have dozens of these so-called slabs, Some of which contain what looks like either very young dinosaurs, or embryos. Besides these so called “slabs”, I have also found dozens of what appear to be ancient East Woodland Indian artifact tools along this same creek. Thank you very much for any input that any of you you can provide, including the name of someone local whom I can speak to, and possibly show, the many items that I have found.

Hi all, found this fossil, thought it was tree bark or sediment layers until i turned piece over. Looks to be a skin and soft tissue fossil, has small (approx 1mm) scale like bumps on front face, and what appears to be a meeting point to bones, possibly ribs on rear, with a distint layer between resembling a muscle layer. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, B.Davies

Hi Experts, I have a fossil and am attaching its pic. Can any one tell me its exact age. I am waiting for experts reply. Thanks Saqib
