    Bird?

    My buddy found this on the beach in Florida. The fact that it's hollow makes me think it's a bird bone. Any ideas?

    Wood or bill/ beak/nail?

    Hello! Found in NW Alabama, Franklin county, near creek. Not sure if these are fossils, but there is a perfect hole near wide edge of the larger "half". Yes, the photos are of 2 peices that appear similar/same, as with the upper and lower bills/beaks of birds..Red Color from lighter can b seen in photos. Could it/they be from Native American adornment, or even much further back in time?? thanks! Chris

    Heron?

    Howdy all, Just purchased this avian coracoid. The seller claimed it was of Ardea herodias, and after comparing it to actual heron coracoids (using images on the web) I find this to he the case. However, I would like a second opinion. Size: 3 inches North Florida
  4. Here is plate with a big fish (sturgeon?) and a bird (unknow species, look like a cormorant!) from Liaoning Province, China. The bird even has its feathers preserved (if not painted). What do you think? Are they genuine? And what species if genuine?

    Bird outline with beak in a rock

    I found a split rock and it has the faint outline of a bird, but there is a piece of beak inside the rock. I am curious. Would anyone be able to tell me what it is? Thank you.
  7. This is a green Honeycreeper, half male half female. I did not know this existed in nature, quite fascinating. Included link to full article and video. https://petapixel.com/2023/12/14/rare-half-male-half-female-bird-is-photographed-in-once-in-century-event/

    Help ID’ing

    Hi all! New here and I’ve already spent hours down the rabbit hole. I’m a body piercer and jewelry professional but I love rockhounding. I live in Arkansas and we are know for our quartz. I collect rocks literally everywhere I go so I can’t say for certain where I picked this up. I put it in my tumbler with a load and I check the rocks often during the process. This was in the tumbler with first stage grit for about 2 days. When I was doing my routine check, this rock really stuck out to me. I swear I see a bird embryo. Not only that but it feels 3 dimensionally like a bird body. I know the pareidolia is real with my brain but I’m kind of obsessing at this point so I need someone to bust my bubble.

    Anyone know or have any ideas?

    Just wondered if anyone could tell me what they think of these pieces.
  10. I’m going through my collection of unknowns, and came across this little guy. It is a small, ornate vertebra collected from the Pliocene Yorktown Formation at the Lee Creek Mine in North Carolina,, USA. Scale in the photos for size. Bird? Snake? Other? thanks

    Bird wing bone
  12. This came into my email inbox just now. This bird looks very familiar to many of us.... https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/11/06/rare-first-of-its-kind-wyoming-fossil-bird-donated-to-chicago-museum/?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&_kx=FNPCgSCz7FplU90B8_ouKgYat5AOYRhTA2s_dLpzjqBx2CdT-fhicfAJbOddWJMi.UXPtrV

    Prehistoric bird?

    Ancient bird like creature
  14. I've got a few bones that I've been scratching my head over for a couple days. They are from the Hell Creek Formation in Garfield County, Montana. They're extremely thin and hollow, and only one seems to have undergone some compression. I'm including measurements with the photos below. Curious to hear what you all think.
  15. Considering getting this guy, don’t have anything like it in my collection yet. Any red flags here? Sorry for not the greatest photos it’s behind a glass case.
  16. looks fake to me but maybe im wrong?
  17. Is this a genuine fossil bird from China?
  18. This is an Enantiornithes bird found at Liaoning of China. Note the chest region in which it looks like remnant of skin (and feathers around the body too). Also, there is a pair of long tail feathers. What do you think about its authenticity?

    Nice bird bone from the Zandmotor

    Hi everyone! Last week I found this nice, rather big, bird bone on the Zandmotor (Netherlands). It is most likely late Pleistocene in Age (Weichselian) but could possibly be older (though I doubt this is any older than early Pleistocene, given the conservation). I believe it to be a femur of a rather large species of bird. My first thought was the great auk, Pinguinus impennis, but I think my bone is probably not sturdy/thick enough for such a heavy bird. I'm currently thinking it might be something like a large sea gull, but this is just guess work, and birds are definitely not my area of expertise. What do you guys think it might be? Also, if any of you has some kind of free identification guide/paper for bird bones (modern/fossil), could you please share it? I'll already tag @Auspex and @MarcoSr as I remember that you two have worked with bird bones before Thanks in advance for your help! Max

    Hastings Tooth and Claw?

    Hello, I wanted to ask about a couple fossils from the Hastings subgroup, Wealden supergroup, Wealden of Sussex. One is a tooth labeled Baryonyx and measures 0.4 cm. At that size I'm assuming this is just a tooth tip or from a juvenile? The other is a "theropod" claw measuring 0.7 cm. It's very tiny and has an odd protrusion on the underside towards the articulating end, which reminds me more of some bird claw cores. Is this even dinosaurian?

    Bird egg?

    Hello fossil lovers! Please accept my apology in advance, but here it comes: is this a fossilized bird/duck egg? It is too round to be a reptile egg and the white part looks like shell. The inside is crystallized. Sadly I can't provide provenance, as I bought this at an antique's shop from a deceased collector (for those who know him, it is from the collection of the writer of Bob Morane)... Doesn't look like just a concretion to me. Thank you for your time, have a good day!

    Is this a fossil foot?

    I found this near Logan utah, I have another “bone” fossil I found there that I would like to post also. A hater told me it was natural who looked at it in person. I just want to know. I am a proud rock hound. This seems odd to me. I found several horn coral fossils and sea life proof near by. This would have been near a lake bonneville shore at some point. The surrounding seems very sedimentary while the inside seems agatized. Following what looks to be an actual foot and not a print seems you can see the actual outline of how a toe was curled into the mud. There looks to be a total of 3 toes but doesn’t look to be all forward facing by Dino prints I’ve seen so maybe big bird or just the way it laid to rest. I need help please!

    Help with Santa Fe river fossils

    Here are a few things from a recent trip to the Santa Fe river that I was not able to identify. Guesses: A/B: Since these bones are hollow, does that mean they had to belong to a large bird? C/D: smaller bird bones? E: Mastodon or gomphothere tooth enamel? F: part of a tortoise foot or maybe a sesamoid bone? G: Translucent in the light, making me wonder if this is fossilized sap or something of the sort Appreciate any help!

    Paravians of Hell Creek

    From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations

    Even in the final years of the non-avian dinosaurs, the paravians remained diverse, with many species represented in the famed Hell Creek formation.
