  1. Not sure what exactly I’m looking at here. At first I thought it was a piece of Psephophorus or a tortoise piece but now I’m not so sure. Notice that it has a very distinct ring around the border of the smooth side. Quite flat in both sides.

    Peace river fossil ID

    Found this fossil in a creek during my last trip my guess is that its a whale tooth or some kind of tooth. But I was wondering if anyone knows what it is? Along with possibly how old it could be? I found it on a creek near the peace river.

    Jaw with 2 teeth, Cenomanian, TX

    Glad to be back with something worthy of fossil ID questions! Took a much needed reprieve from work and internship stuff with a brief excursion into the Eagle Ford formation. This jaw with two teeth was among the notable finds. I believe it's fish - one picture makes it look like the tooth on the right has an acrodin cap. That, and the probable reptile candidate in this strata would be Coniasaurus, and these teeth don't look like any species of Coniasaur I'm aware of. So, any ideas on the fish in particular? What I perceive as apicobasal ridges on the tooth might be diagnostic, but I can't think of a fish that has them like this. Age: Middle - Late Cenomanian Strata: Lower Eagle Ford formation Area: Texas Scale units= 1 cm

    Devonian fish bone?

    Hi this was found in the Moscow formation a while back u just keep it because it looked interesting but after doing some research I found that it could be Devonian fish skull or bone thanks for any feedback and I hope I can learn more about this piece.Thanks

    Aust Cliff

    Found this at Aust Cliff, is it a fish fin spine? I believe there is also a single fish scale. sorry for low quality photos
  7. Hello everyone! I have been going through some of my older fossils I collected from the Hell Creek Fm. near Glendive, Montana a few years back and found these three teeth. Anyone know what they may be? I can provide any additional photos or info necessary. Thanks!

    Found on Amelia Island Florida

    Trying to see if this is a mouthplate or just an odd shell. It is hard like bone.

    A fish like imprint in a rock

    Hello everyone! I found recently a rock with a fish like imprint on the shore of Corfu Island, Greece. Any help regarding identification is appreciated!
  10. Hi everyone! I recently acquired a menagerie of fossils from South Carolina rivers and these three stood out. The first two appear to be skull pieces, most likely from fish but I have no idea what type. The last one I think is some sort of bizarre tooth though I have no idea from what. Cetacean maybe? Not sure exactly where in South Carolina these were found either unfortunately though lots of Megalodon, Auriculatus, and Hastalis were found with them so for age I'm guessing late Oligocene to early Miocene though there were some Pleistocene mammals mixed in as well. Any insight is appreciated as always! 1. measures 38.53 mm long, 28.39 mm wide, and 10.88 mm thick 2. measures 39.91 mm long, 26.65 mm wide, 12.06 mm thick 3. Not sure how teeth like these should be measured on the forum so I'm just going to measure it like a dinosaur tooth. "Crown height" is 29.04 mm, "Crown base length" is 21.74 mm, "Crown base width" is 9.29 mm

    Small fish vertebrae?

    Found on the beach at Cape San Blas, Florida. Fish vertebrae? Is it a fossil? Thanks for looking.
  12. Hi everyone! I'm back with another weird Kem Kem bone. I wasn't sure what to make of this thing at first. A buddy even suggested Crinoid at one point. The closest I can find is a gill plate of a giant fresh water coelacanth. Because apparently that was a thing. The pictures I've been seeing are all from Mawsonia though I'm wondering if I'm 1. on the right track and 2. if it can be IDed as Mawsonia or if in typical Kem Kem fashion there were a bunch of these things swimming around that all had a plate that looks like this. The bone is about 16.5 cm by 15.2 cm with 17.8 cm as the longest measurement and up to 1.4 cm thick. So what do you all think?

    ID Help Peace River FL

    I have been searching on line periodically for the last several days trying to identify this little fossil bone found in the Peace River, FL last week. I can't help but think I have seen something similar before. I just can't find it now. So, any input would be greatly appreciated. I have searched for "fish beak", "skull cap", "reptile", "turtle" , "bird beak" in various combinations, even looked at a bunch of hoof cores, mouth plates, etc. just to see if it was possible. Specimen measures: 32mm x 20mm x 9mm or 1 5/16" x 7/8" x 3/8" In this last photo I am trying to show what I think is an interesting pattern on what I am calling the underside. I played with lighting and positioning to try and make it visible. To me it looks like a tulip in the center of the fossil. Base of the stem at the bottom of the photo, leafs on either side 3/4 of the way up and then a "tulip" shaped top. Hope you can see it. Thanks!
  14. My best friend found this outside her apartment in a planter bed. We live in the city of Whittier, in the county of Los Angeles, located in the state of California. She is dead set on it being a fossil... Myself, on the other hand, is a little skeptical. Hopefully the pictures I’ve included do some justice as to figuring all this out. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

    Please Help with Fossil ID

    Hi, I am new to this, so before this goes in the planter, I wanted to see if I could get an idea of what, if anything, I have. I located this in the San Bernardino County area of CA, private land, Mojave Desert, hills next to a wash, as you see it. I followed the instructions on this site, but pics may not be good. I can add more. If this is nothing or something I can keep, either way I appreciate everyone 's time. If I'm missing anything, please let me know. Thank you!

    Possible fish scale?

    Found very close to my last two posts and very recently. Also this was on the surface and found in Hidalgo County NM and the area is from the Maastrichtian epoch.

    Fish Flippers? Rib? - Flag Pond

    Found these what to me looks like small fish flippers and the one looks like a fish rib? Found these at Flag Pond in the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland. Seeking input/help. Thanks so much.
  18. Hello everybody! Found that near kids sandbox in Prague, Czech Republic, in the city center. Sand and rocks from there are probably brought from some other area. But in this park, only few hundred meters from there some Trilobite fossils can be found. It was just laying on the ground. I think it can be a rock, but its very tooth looking rock. I am no expert in those things. It seems like there is a root. It's exactly 2cm from top to bottom. I can't find any shark tooth looking like that. Other animal? I tried my best in making those photos. But if you need some more details, I ll try. Let me know. I hope it will be fun for you to check it out. Thank you!

    Any ideas?

    Hi all, total fossil numbskull here. I found this on my local beach here on Anglesey , Wales, UK this morning and thought it looked like fossil worms of some sort. Your thoughts would be most welcome! Thanks Huw

    Help with ID

    Hello. My family found this on the beach in southern Oregon. We’re wondering what this fossil might be? It has texture to it that you can feel. And it’s pretty, my daughter described it as being lacy, almost like crochet stitches.
  21. Hi everyone! Got a nice little mystery bone from the Kem Kem here. I think it's a Coracoid bone but I'm not sure from what. I'm leaning Crocodyliform only because that seems to be the most common thing for these random mystery bones but I don't know for sure so I figured I'd seek a second opinion in case it might be something else like a fish bone. It measures 7 cm (2.76 inches). Any feedback is appreciated as always!

    Pterosaur claws or fish teeth?

    Hi everyone, Just got these, I think I see blood groves but you never know. So I'm here for a second opinion. Morocco, Cretaceous, Kem Kem beds Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    central texas tooth

    Here's a tooth that I found in a nice slab that had plenty of other easy to ID species - I'm having a hard time with this one though. I'm afraid to prep it further for now - the matrix is very hard, making my hand picks barely usable, while the tooth itself is very delicate. I see no carinae, but the tooth seems a bit long for a mosasaur. I also see no strong striations in the enamel that would indicate pliosaur. My best guess at the moment is Xiphactinus? What do ya'll think? Found in the Eagle Ford formation in central texas. I suspect on the Bouldin Flags member (at least I hope so! I've been trying to find the Bouldin Flags forever!) Scale is inches (the ruler is covered in marks so I shifted it to a clearer portion)

    Fish Tooth found in Lake?

    Hello, I found this tooth or rock in the bank of a lake where I was collecting and sifting in a concentrated gravel spot. 1 oyster, 1 coral piece, and 2 snails are the only fossils I found. After searching a little more, I found this rock which I'm assuming is a tooth. The gravel where I found this possible tooth is also in the Eagle Ford of the Cretaceous of Texas. I'm thinking either shark or fish tooth. It's slightly curved and there isn't any enamel or serrations (that I can see), so I might be wrong. Can anyone identify the species of animal the tooth may have belonged to? Or if it's just a rock? Any help is appreciated Thanks

    Identify a fossil

    Hi, I inherited some fossils from my father, and I am trying to identify them. Can someone tell me what kind of fossil is in the attached photo? Also, during shipping, the crack in the plate occurred. Does that affect the value of the overal plate significantly? Thanks in advance for assistance! SVG
