Hi, can anyone help please with what this? We found it on a beach in Suffolk England (North Sea). Its vey light (74g) for its size. Sorry if I've posted on the wrong forum or my photos aren't good enough. Any information about what it is would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Garry .

Found this little item in my rock bar that has me stumped. Has too much form to be a "concretion", but not enough to try to get a bone ID. It came from a Maryland Creek in the Arundel "formation" Potomac "group".

Hi all, I had this in my Montana turtle thread but though it needed its own thread. i found some more bone (float) in Eastern Montana coming out of a hill near (same bank but 30 yards away) where I found a turtle fossil last year. It is a variety of bones but 2 are interesting. The one is clearly a vertebrae and from a little research seems to be reptile but what kind? The other is a piece of bone with an interesting cavity in it. Can anyone identify either one? Here are the pics. thanks, Joe

I found these items years ago in Capitola, CA, where the Purisima Formation is exposed in seaside cliffs. They were found in the gravel 'float' at the base of a cliff. Both objects measure approximately 20x15x7mm, and are nearly identical in form. The concave side retains traces of the sediment typical of the Purisima at that location, and the convex side shows rounded ridges approximately perpendicular to the object's major axis. They have a somewhat similar color and density to bone fragments also found that location. It may take someone who has experience with the Purisima, or a trip to UCMP and/or SCMNH to get these objects identified, but I'm hopeful that someone here can shed some light on what they are.
