I found this today during my lunch amongst other finds. There was a quick rain storm yesterday... enough to settle some sand and expose things. It was found on a river gravel bank here in SE Texas. I think it's a carpal but I can't tell from what. I've looked at a bunch posted online and couldn't match the shape. I thought based on size it would be deer but again the shape doesn't compare. I don't think mine is too terribly worn either and it seems most of it is there. It is completely mineralized. Thanks for your thoughts.

I found a few things today, Sunday, I'll be posting... here's the first. I was wondering if anyone is able to tell if this is enamel fragment is from a mammoth or a mastodon? It has a nice color... but I've never found a complete tooth to either... only small fragments. Found on a river gravel bank. Thanks.

@Harry Pristis Thanks for the last ID. I also found this today. It's a molar and 1" across and seems to be a pretty decent size. It' seems to have part of the next tooth fused to it or is this 3 roots each side? It's heavy for it's size... root feels mineralized. Could this be hog as well? Thank you.

I believe this is an Equus tooth fragment like the other post based on what's left of the chewing surface. Again this is loaded with dentin or cementum. It seems like whatever it is... wraps around the outside of the tooth to the inside which is weird. It seems like something that would happen after its been broken. Maybe I'm wrong, sit just seems like it's the same on all sides even the broken side. And the dentin/cementum is solid on the tooth... it appears like it's about to flake off... not at all. It's on there pretty good.

Yesterday I went out hunting and found some neat fossils while searching a couple of gravel banks that I'm now posting to see if the ID is correct and to ask a few questions about it. The first is a horse tooth I believe might be a cheek tooth but I don't know the specifics... if it's upper or lower. Sorry it's in my hand... that was to get it closer to the light for clear images. But why does it look like you can see right thru the enamel?!?! Of all the things I've ever found... this is the most unusual thing I've ever seen. How could that happen?? The tooth is see thru. It also has an unusual bend or warp to it.

Found this tooth on a gravel bank here in Southeast Texas. I think it's a horse incisor...Equus? If it is that...how can you tell the age of an incisor? It has a nice color to it by the way plus it's the first incisor I'll have found. I have found lots of Pleistocene material in the same area.

I was digging through old boxes of Un-ID'd material to look for something else and came across this jaw fragment I found a while back. It has no teeth, so I thought the chance for ID was slim. But it does have a distinctive morphology with a large foramen running the length, so maybe someone will recognize it. Boxes are one inch square.

The river has been receding daily, and I found this sacrum two days ago laying in sandy gravel that had just been exposed. Mostly Pleistocene fossils here. Due to its size, I thought it may be from one of the larger herbivore mammals. But due to wear, it's a little hard for me to tell how tapered or straight the original structure was, which seems pretty diagnostic in differentiating between the species. Several examples I've seen look similar, but I'm having a hard time finding any with sizes listed, so I'm a little lost. Can anyone shed some more light on this? Thank you! --Brandy

Since the river has been going down, I've been wanting to go out for a long while to check the newly exposed gravel. Finally got a chance and felt up to it a little while before dark yesterday and found a few things. Sandy gravel matrix with Pleistocene and possible Miocene in southeast Texas. I'm thinking this is a medial phalanx from a giant Sloth. Can anyone confirm?

Frequently see pet hardwood along the San Jacinto river West Fork. This piece does not have the normal shape or tracheid/ray pattern of wood. I don’t recognize the ridges and I see small consistent pores at several faces. The wide depression in the middle reminds me of a Proboscidea tooth. From the right angle, it appears there may have been symmetry to either side. Any feedback appreciated. Thank you all!

Hello This is another recent find of mine in the lower brazos TX. I first was calling it a shark vertabra but now I am unsure. I see examples of vertabra here showing concentric circles and a Well defined center. Mine is more like bone. Could it be part of a mammoth foot or phalange? I still think it is some kind of back bone though. Thanks for looking.
