Recently I took a trip up to central New Jersey in the US with my sister for our 2nd trip fossil hunting; at a place called “big brook preserve”. As I was sifting through looking at some fossils that I could identify such as shark teeth and fossilized poop with my very basic studying from the Internet and stuff I’ve seen on tv. She calls me over at something she had found while sifting through the dirt in the brook. Thinking that I’d be able to identify it for her I was stumped. it looks like it has characteristics of a fossil from what I think but with my limited knowledge and understanding I keep going back to the idea of “nah it can’t be” And thinking it’s just a cool rock. Either way the water seemed to do a number on this this find eroding it over the years. Also the finds in this brook are usually Cretaceous period specimens and the occasional dinosaur fossil is rare, and reptile fossils are a tiny bit rare too here I think. I have a couple pictures that I took that night when we returned home. I’ll take better lit pictures if these aren’t adequate enough, but the main question I have that’s been bothering me is; is it a rock or a fossil from something once living? Side note the front is slightly smoothed/curved and the back is mostly flat. Please and thank you to anyone willing to help. I’ve also taken the time since then to email 2 local universities for assistance too if that’s even possible.

hello, my name is Simon and I am a big Dino fan like everyone here. I hope to comply with all the rules and ask for a short info if something should not fit. I ask for help to identify some fossils in the photos. I am aware that not all bones can be determined, but I would be very happy if at least a few could be identified. the fossils were found in the Hell Creek Formation of Harding County, SD. I hope to have taken good photos - if you have any questions please ask. many thanks in advance for your help :) best regards Simon

Found this online! Might be a baby dinosaur skull with teeth and an eye but don’t know
Hawk2 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello there! I stumbled across this online, what looks to be a petrified baby dinosaur skull fossil. It looks like it has a row of teeth, an eye and eye sockets! My question is if it actually is a dinosaur or if it’s nothing but a rock. -
Hey guys, I saw this listed as a fossil rock but I feel like it could be a skull, it has the shape of a skull and crystals where it’s eyes would have been. What do you guys think? It’s found in kerrville, Texas.

Dinosaur ? (Marine reptile?) skeleton discovered while ammonite hunting in central Oregon
TheNecromancer13 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
2 days ago I was digging for ammonites in a road cut in central oregon, and happened across some very large bones. I will be returning to the site with a team of NARG members and affiliates to excavate it in a few weeks. Super exciting find, there are at least 6 bones exposed, probably many more yet to be found. The ribs are 3 inches thick, so probably at least a 20 foot animal. This is by far the coolest thing I've ever found. -
I've got another "unidentified" Dinosaur bone I am requesting identification help with. I was a gift from a friend in California who knew nothing about it except it came from Nebraska. Do anyone know what it is? Thanks in advance.

I recently bought a collection and everything was marked but this egg. The only info I have on it is that it is from China. Any help is very much appreciated and thanks to everyone in advance

Real Dinosaur Coprolite?
FossilsandScience posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone, I am thinking of purchasing this dinosaur Coprolite but I want to make sure it is authentic first. The tag didn’t mention where it was from. Thanks! -
I see a lot of stone or bone (??) like this in my searching. I usually toss them aside but I wanted to see what you guys thought. They are heavy like stone but come in these odd channeled forms and also just in odd shapes. Just curious what they look like to you. Thanks. Andy

Hello. I am new here and have read about posting, though there is so much to read, I hope I am not up. This is one of a few Estate sale fossil finds, and unfortunately no info whatsoever came with them. I am assuming it is a piece of a humerus, radius or ulna. It has a strange patina, and seems to be glazed with something, lacquer or another hard resin, as a (rather unfortunate) means to preserve it better? I am not sure if this is from a dinosaur, but looking online it sort of resembles some leg bones of a sauropod, but a juvenile. I could be completely wrong and this is actually part of a cave bear or other mammal bone. Any help appreciated. I have another fossil bone that was with it I can post as well, though it's much smaller and darker in color, black almost. This piece is heavy! It weighs 6.9 oz. I took couple of macro photos since there is something interesting going on with the surface. Thanks, KP

We recently found this chunk of fossilized "something" in an Indiana field. We checked out Wikipedia, and it sure looks like fossilized dinosaur skin. Any thoughts from you experts out there?
