  1. Bill Dye The Travis Guy

    Help with ID for these brachiopods please

    These were found in O’Fallon MO in a road cut. I think in the Fern Glen formation. Any help with ID would be much appreciated!
  2. I.C. Fossils

    Help with these please, from Venice

    Hi, we found the longer one (on left) in February and the other two a few weeks ago in Venice. I haven’t found these before and cant find comparables. We dont go to the west coast often so hoping someone might be able to clarify what these are. Im thinking the small square-ish one (on right) may be a small part of a tooth but definitely not sure. The scale bar is 1cmx1cm. Thanks
  3. Is this shark tooth Benedini or Mako? I found this tooth on the beach, north Florida area. The back of the tooth has mineral/rock buildup that I haven't removed yet (and not sure how I would remove it)
  4. Hi I am hoping for a little help with this jaw I am thinking of buying please. Listed as Juvenile Woolly Rhino jaw, perma frost find. Has been cleaned and preserved. I have stupidly made a bid on it that if needs be I will reluctantly with draw if need to, but auction ends tomorrow night (Monday) so any thoughs or help is appreciated! Fingers crossed as I like the look of it. Have a sneaky feeling it might be Horse though! Cheers!
  5. Hi all— On our most recent trip up to the Monmouth Brooks, my husband and I found this small bone fragment in addition to the usual teeth and fossils we typically find there. We can't decide if it's a fossil or modern bone. I read about the burn test on here, and so we tried it. We didn't note any noticeable smell other than heat, but it did cause a small section of the outside to become brittle and flake away (pictured in the last photo). I'm leaning more toward modern bone for that reason, but I just wasn't sure. Any ideas or other methods to identify it? We also don't have any idea what it might be from either way

    Fossilized Bone ID Help

    Could I get some help identifying this fossil specimen? I'm unsure of if it's a rock or bone but considering the contrast of texture and look with any rocks I've found before, I'm leaning towards bone. It was found near a river in middle-Arkansas & is pretty small and hard to discern. Any ideas?
  7. Hey y'all I'm sorta kinda Curious what this maybe .. help this mama out please. My husband recently brought this very unique find in to me. Its from one of his many East Tenn creekin' adventures . We both have never seen a formation, limestone rock, or a fossil quiet like this: it's way heavier than drift wood or most carcass bone.. What makes it different than most rocks I've got is the difference skaly ridges which reminds me of a curled up lizard tail on one end...I have attached a couple of pics may have to zoom in the following pics. Thanks in advance for any ideas or possible ID.

    Mazon Creek ID help

    Calling on the MC regulars again and anyone else who may have a clue. This time I'm not even going to venture a guess. It's up to you guys to ID at least the genus. Thanks again. @bigred97 @connorp @deutscheben @fiddlehead @flipper559 @Nimravis @Plantguy @RCFossils @Runner64 @stats @TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory

    NJ tooth fragments (?)

    Hi all This past weekend, we took a quick trip up to Big Brook, NJ and found these small, very worn fragments of what I suspect may be teeth of some kind I have a guess or two as to what they may be from looking around online, but I don't have much experience with anything besides shark teeth, so I was hoping for a bit of help clarifying Any ideas?
  10. Mark Kmiecik

    Mazon Creek ID help

    Need some ID help. Calling the usual MC collectors, @bigred97 @connorp @deutscheben @fiddlehead @flipper559 @Nimravis @Plantguy @RCFossils @stats @TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
  11. Could anyone here help educate me on what I found? I am guessing that the objects in this river rock are either aquatic plant parts of some sort, or terrestrial plant seeds. Just two wild guesses on my part. I never find fossils in this river, so I was surprised when I spotted it. Any help would be appreciated. - Thanks!

    Welsh coastline find

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone would be able to help me ID this? I found it on the coast of the Menai strait on a very rocky beach, between mainland wales and anglesey. It is 11cm long as seen in the photographs. Thanks, Toby

    Kamp Ranch Texas Ptychodus Teeth

    I purchased some Ptychodus teeth and I can not determine the exact ID on my own. They are smaller than P. whippeli or P. mortoni teeth I have and bigger than the single P. anonymous tooth I have though that is the species I originally though, and still think these are. They are from the Kamp Ranch section of Eagle Ford in Texas. I consulted a very well put together ID guide here but am still just not sure what I have, other than nice Ptychodus teeth lol Any help would be appreciated.

    Rock or Fossil?

    I feel like and idiot since this is probably just a rock but I got to know for sure. I found this when I was in elementary school on the playground and at the time I thought it was petrified wood so I kept it. At the back of the playground there's a sand pit and beyond that, a fence that separates the sand pit from the woods. I found this right underneath that fence. This is in southern MA.

    Triassic tooth?

    I am asking for identification of this fossil, my grandfather found this tooth, it is said to be a Triassic tooth. It was found probably in Germany or perhaps in Poland. 1cm long tooth.
  17. Yesterday I scouted Calvert Cliffs Beach to see if my friends would be able to join me on a fossil hunt there. As this was only my third lifetime hunt, I'd only been to Matoaka prior, and wanted to see if the path to the Calvert Beach was accessible enough for a friend using a cane and someone more out of shape than I am. That said, I'm not fit myself, so the 3.6-mile hike to and from the beach was not easy. However, it was gorgeous! As many people will tell you online, the cliffs at Calvert Beach are not legally accessible; the state park service has closed off access to them due to frequent landslides and therefore little beach space left beneath them to evade a fall. The cliffs there are taller than at Matoaka, making them even more dangerous, and the tide comes in closer to the beach. The remaining fossil hunting space is thus rather limited for hunting, but if you're dedicated and go during the off-season, I'm sure your luck will be better than mine! I was in the water from about 11-3, sifting in the tidal line of shell material and along sunken trees that may have trapped fossils. Attached are a couple photos of my tooth finds, and a picture of the cliff area too. Feel free to ID the teeth; I'm not great at it yet, especially when they're small! I was surprised by the tan tooth since most teeth I've found thus far have been black. Also not entirely sure what the curved tooth came from, though my guesses were either a H. serra symphyseal or a tooth from a sand tiger shark. Overall, I think I like Matoaka better, but it's hard to say from just one visit. Going to take my friends back to Matoaka or to a new location next weekend. I'll scout out Flag Ponds in December I think, then I've got a fossil club trip in January. Really really really having fun!
  18. Hi everyone . I recently acquired this sauropod tooth from France came from an old Ex-museum collection and was found in "Charente region , France" labeled from previous owner as Bothriospondylus cf.madagascarensis But after i did some research the only paper i can found was paper in 2007 "Dinosaur teeth from the Cenomanian of Charentes, Western France: evidence for a mixed Laurasian-Gondwanan assemblage" from an Abstract of this paper there were six dinosaur taxa described from this location : Carcharodontosauridae indet., Dromaeosauridae indet., Troodontidae indet., Brachiosauridae indet., Iguanodontoidea indet., and Nodosauridae indet. So... my question is what should i label this sauropod tooth ??? note : this tooth is 1.75 " in length include the root. thanks in advance Guns

    4 sided central arkansas

    4 sides, one inch as shown. no one here thinks it is a "rock." so I thought I'd seek professional help
  20. Hi all! New member and very novice fossil enthusiast here. My family and I just got into fossil hunting this year and I wanted to ask for help identifying some of our finds. We've been exploring the formation in Big Brook New Jersey for a while now, and we've found plenty of shells, shark teeth, and belemnite that are easier to identify. We've also found our fair share of tricky concretions and other fake-out fossils in the brooks. I'm still learning what to look for and how to tell the difference between bone and rock, but I've made some good progress! Anyway, I wanted to ask about some of the trickier pieces in our little collection so far. I have a guess or two for some of them after poking around google, but mostly I'm stumped. Part of me is just looking for confirmation if they are anything at all, even if a specific ID isn't possible. I would absolutely love to hear any opinions or advice about them and what traits to look out for in the future! (will post some close-ups in the replies) 1 & 2: They don't seem like teeth really, but they've got some interesting patterns and a pair of pronounced seams(?) 3: I'm 99% sure its fossilized bone, but might be too small of a fragment to tell what kind 4: The shape makes me curious, but could easily just be rock 5: I'm getting turtle vibes? No idea 6: The texture and shine make me think maybe Coprolite? 7: Much like 4, the shape is curious, but might be nothing. The texture is less rock-like than 4's, though 8. Sort of claw shaped? Maybe just rock 9. The hole pattern seems similar to some turtle or crocodile scute I've seen others come across 10 & 11: Skeptical, but not confident enough to rule them out 12: I've found a few concretions that have very similar inner/outer sections like this, but some of the patterns on the outside of this one make me uncertain if it's just rock I'll follow up with some more close-ups, but thanks for any and all help anyone has to give Some close-ups of 1, 2 & 3 The 'seams' on 1 & 2 have me stumped 3 is probably too small to tell much about, but it's the first piece I've found (aside from shark teeth) that I've been pretty certain is bone and not rock

    Help with shark tooth

    Hi all. I need help with this shark tooth. It comes from an European Lutetian. After doing some research, I have found the genus Macrorhizodus as a possible candidate, but my knowledge of these critters is very limited. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance

    Found a tooth - help ID please!

    I found this tooth a long time ago, on a river bank in north Alabama, and have just held onto it. I'm not even positive that it's fossilized, but it seems like it is to my untrained eye. It is still pretty sharp on the front and back edges. I really don't know anything else about it, but it doesn't look similar to any shark teeth that i know of, or alligator. Any help would be appreciated!

    a little STH ID help needed

    As we work on our new displays I have found a few shark teeth that I need to verify an ID for. These are all from STH. First up is one I am fairly certain is Isurus desori. A little over .5”
  24. I live in the Northeast of the USA. I found this bone out in the forest yesterday and I’m having trouble identifying it due to its size. As shown in the photos, the bone looks very scratched up, probably chewed on, and both joints on each end have been snapped off. The bone was cracked down the middle, then fell off my counter which split it in half. I don’t have a metric ruler, but 12 inches is about 30 centimeters. If it had the joints I think it would be closer to 15 inches, or 38 centimeters. I was thinking it was a white tail deer tibia or possibly a femur (I was leaning more towards tibia due to the curvature) but everything I saw said that deer tibias and femurs aren’t more than 10-11 inches even with the joints. I know it’s pretty broken up, but guesses from anyone?? Thanks! (Can’t upload all the photos due to file size so I will comment with more)
  25. My friend found this on Folly Beach, SC. Any ideas on what it is?
