  1. I discovered this in some open space near my neighborhood. They appear to be bone but not sure what type? The open space where the fossils were found was formed during the Arapahoe formation.
  2. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this on the forum, but I am going to be completely honest and admit that I need advice on trying to get this fossil out in one piece. I have a small portable rock saw which I have tried using to no avail. I have also tried chiseling around it but I am an amateur and have only used this rock saw on easier-to-get targets. I do not want to break this and glue it back together unless it is absolutely necessary. My original plan was to cut in a sort of # pattern and chisel the sides till I got deep enough to chisel out a rectangular slab but then got cold feet. This fin spine is lodged in a half-sunken 5 to 7-inch thick chunk of limestone that is too large to carry or move. I want to try and extract this fossil before the rock pile gets taken to the dump, or this fossil erodes completely into nothing. I know it's not in the best shape but it means a lot to me as it was my first "big find" when I started field collecting a few years ago and any advice is appreciated. I am not sure if I should just keep chiseling the sawed portions till it begins to break loose or what my next steps should be. It is also so close to being covered in sediment and so close to another chunk of limestone I am unable to fit the portable saw blade completely in place to saw more for the bottom portion, beyond where it is already cut. (it is at an incline and the rocks form a sort of V shape). Image taken before sawing began (I am leaning on the other rock): Where I am at: Edit: I think I need to keep chiseling it, but I wanted to consult the experts before I continue further. I think i may have panicked when I heard that the landowner may be calling waste management in a few months. Once again sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, and move this post if need be.

    Help identify unknown fossil

    This is an item that was with NSR fossils, but I'm not 100 percent sure it was from there. It's obviously broken, but has a similar shape to other much smaller item posted earlier. Any thoughts as to what it is are welcomed. almost looks like a wishbone.

    Big Brook jaw piece and bones

    Hey all, can you help me ID some finds? Recently pulled some interesting bones from Big Brook. Pickings were a bit slim this round with typical wear of the location. See below. Jaw of some kind. Probably a fish like pachyrhizodus, but could it be a small mosasaur fragment? Next is a random chunk of bone. Thinking cretaceous as well, maybe reptile. This last one was a real headscratcher. Initially leaned toward pleistocene but now thinking cretaceous. Could it be a croc bone? Also bonus including the most majestic/biggest coprolite I ever found, and wow what a great specimen lemme tell you folks. Just my luck 🤣🤣🤣

    Fossil ID

    I have just come back from a trek across the Sahara Desert to raise money for charity and I found this for my 7 year old who wants to be a geologist. Can anyone help identify what it could be please?
  10. current guess is horse, maybe? absolutely uncertain :')
  11. I found this very hard and heavy petrified fossil? off a hill in a ravine by a natural spring on our property after clearing some land. It has kind of a porous exterior. Perhaps part of the head of the bone broke off partially over time? scapula? A rancher said it looks like a cow bone. It is so old and heavy I just don’t know if I buy that. Is it possible timing wise that it would be a fossilized cow or is it possibly prehistoric? Thank you for having a look. not sure of time period to look at.
  12. Hi everyone this is matt again take a look at this very nice ammonite I bought at the hamburg fossil and gem show in hamburg N.Y. here is a photo

    Florissant Fossils Help

    I found a few in the last bit that I wasn't sure what they maybe. Wanted see if anyone know what they where or if any are good enough to keep. #1 (wasn't sure thinking plant or moss) #2 (seed???) #2 (different angle/closer) #3 (first half) #3 (first half closer) #3 (second half) #4 #4 (closer)
  18. Those are microscopic images. what it is? Could it be a flower? Thanks.
  19. Found this while hunting dinasur bones in Montana. Hell Creek formation very visible around the find and we usually recover dinosaur bones but this was odd. Want to know what kind of bison and how old it is.

    Anyone know what this is?

    Hi! I just found this fossil (it’s a fossil right?) in Northwest Arkansas, but haven’t been able to ID it. Anyone know what it is? It’s about two and half inches wide. Thanks!

    Bone or just a Tricky Mean Rock

    Thank you everyone for your patience and helping me learn. This one looks like the right shape and seems to have some level of porousness to it. It is heavier than it looks which supports fossil. It's from Southwest Washington which I don't believe is really known for this kind of fossils, but I might be mistaken. It was weirdly just sitting in the gravel of a drainage ditch. There was some evidence of a small washout and it had been exceptionally rainy/stormy within a few weeks prior. Still was a bit odd. It's not a modern bone, at least not recently. Father in law ran a funeral home. I've had some experience with modern ones. Please help me understand what I am missing if incorrect. Thank you all. This place is amazing.

    Ammonite?

    I found this while fossil hunting for the first time. I’m curious if anyone can identify it. I found it on the side of a road in Lee Summit Missouri, Pennsylvania aged rock I believe.

    Is this turtle fossil from Ramanessin?

    My initial thought was turtle when I found this. Can anyone help me determine what this is? Thank you very much.
