Hello, everyone! Below are a few finds from the North Sulphur River and Post Oak Creek, and I’d love to get some help with identification. The ruler is in centimeters. 1. This first picture includes two mammal teeth (top two)(fossilized or no?), ???, and a small bone that appears to be fossilized. these were found at Post Oak Creek. 2. This bone was found at the North Sulphur River. 3. Nautilus found at NSR. Could anyone help with identifying the species? 4. Jaw fragment? Found at NSR. 5. Coprolite? It appears to have fragments of bone(?) in it. Found at NSR. 6. I found this tooth at NSR a while back, but someone recently IDed it as Latoplatecarpus (mosasaur). I can’t find too much literature on Latoplatecarpus; could anyone give me more information on this tooth and the animal it comes from? Thank you!

Hi, these are some of the bone fragments I found recently in Monmouth County, NJ (Big Brook and Ramanessin Brook). I know how hard it is to assign bone fragments to any species but some of these have some unique features that maybe someone with more knowledge than me has something to say. Number 1 (from left to right) is bent, maybe some part of a jaw? Number 2 is quite curious, very smooth at the top with a bulge and a triangular indent on one side. Piece of some turtle armor perhaps? Number 3 is flat and smooth on one side with a line running through it. Maybe a turtle also? Number 4 is super thick almost like a finger bone. But also smooth on one end with a line running through. The liner is slightly more irregular than that of Number 2. Number 5 is a lot bigger with an indent on one edge. But probably also quite stream-worn.

Hello, if anyone could give me a general idea of what these are, that would be super helpful. Thanks so much & these are from east tn near the smoky mountains or Appalachia

New here, love fossils. My collection in attached images. Coral and others I can not identify. Beautiful pieces.

Started going through some of my older finds and thought I’d try to identify some of them. These are all found in Gainesville, Florida creeks. First one is just a chunk of bone, not sure if it’s even identifiable. My guess is part of a scapula because it’s somewhat flat and curved. Second is a small bone, maybe a carpal of some sort? And third, I’m thinking is a partial alligator tooth. I can see a small bit of enamel left on it, but the enamel seems to have some ridges on it which is confusing.

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place so please forgive me if I am. But I was wondering if anyone here is able to help me identify this fossil that was found on our property. Its about 12ft long & has ribs & honestly looks like a dinosaur. There are more than just 1. There are at least 5 or 6 & there are thousands of bones. Thanks so much! Oh and this is in East TN.

Can anyone identify what these might be? The 1st one is 1 of hundreds found identical to it but of different sizes. There seems to be serrated teeth like a very fine saw blade on the edges of the spike shaped rock.. They are all exactly the same. And the other 1 looks like the head of like a turtle or something. You can actually see a tongue inside the mouth. It looks like it suffered an injury & its head was smashed in . Looks to have skin on the outside & a bone inside the neck. Also teeth inside the mouth. Its for sure some kind of creature. Just don't know what. Thanks in advance.

Recently, I found some mammal fossils right next to a river. The bones were buried in clay but the water had removed some sediment so they were visible although they were broken in tens of pieces. Later, I cleaned the soft clay from the bones and placed the small pieces together using normal glue because I have found out that its results are nearly as good as fossil glue or at least it doesn't have visible differences. Although the bones are almost complete, there is still a lot hardened red clay that doesn't go away with water or brushes. What should I use to clean the fossils completely without damaging them? (with household items if it's possible) Here's a photo of my 2 favourite ones.

On the last two trips my son and I have made down to one of our favorite spots near Saint Leonard, MD we found these specimens. I've some guesses about what they are but would appreciate some corroboration. All were found along the shore of the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland in the Choptank formation.

Was walking along the beach near Clearwater, Florida and came across these items. Seems as though they are bone or fossilized bone? Totally unsure. Any insight would be helpful and greatly appreciated. I was completely stumped.

Does anyone know what fossil this is and if it is a fossil? Some people say it’s a crinoid fossil, Native American bead, or just a rock.

I found this rock hiking along side a small creek in northern Ohio in Erie county, only a few miles from Lake Erie. The brown piece is not magnetic. The rock seems to be limestone which this area has a lot. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Michael

Hello again! I haven't posted in a while, but I've been keeping busy looking through microfossils and have found some cool things. The scalebar subdivisions are 1mm. Let me know what you think about this haul, and any other ideas on IDs. Miguel M Some fish jaws: (Anguiliform dentary?) (drum pharyngeal jaw) Some fish vertebrae and basioccipital Random fish teeth (maybe a scombriform?) (Some other fish teeth. Leftmost could be a sheepshead incisor, no idea as to the others) Elasmobranch teeth (skate teeth) (The one to the right looks very interesting)

Hello, I have this piece from the Pleistocene-aged La Brea Tar Pits of LA county, California, USA. Alongside the beetle, it has several bones embedded in it which were just described as "mammal". It's possible that more than one species is represented. Can I get a more precise identification for them? Or would I need further prep for that? I know next to nothing of vertebrates but my understanding is that for long bones, the bone ends are most important for identification. Thank you.

Triassic Phytosaur Scute Arizona
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, this specimen has been advertised as a phytosaur scute from the Triassic of Northeastern Arizona. I'm curious if this piece is genuine and unmodified as it is relatively cheap. I'm also wondering if it isn't metoposaur scute as I've not seen a phytosaur scute like this. As always, any help is appreciate, thank you. -
