Hello knowledgeable folks, Found this bovine tooth roots up in mud on the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay. Assumed it was modern cow because if the attached stylid and size but after some cleaning and testing- it appears to show signs mineralization. Is it possibly a bos genus fossil? I’d probably need to alert someone if that were the case…

Found this specimen in the Peace River, FL last week. I almost tossed it thinking it was a piece of modern bone but then decided to try and ID it. I have not been successful on my own - maybe looking in the wrong place? The only thing it resembles, to my eyes, is a crab claw. It is hollow and measures 21mm long X 11 MM at its widest. The black portion appears to be enamel. Maybe the tip off a modern crab claw? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, I found this bone on the beach today and wanted your guys thoughts. I really didn’t think it was fossilized, but I did the burn test anyway to be sure, and there is no burning hair smell. What are your guys thoughts? It was found in New Jersey, on a beach where I have found a couple shark teeth(4 or 5) including a Great White and a couple sand tigers. I think it’s a worn vertebrae, but I don’t know beyond that. When I get home I can get measurements, but I’d guess ~1-1.5” by ~1”. @Praefectus @Al Dente @MarcoSr @Darktooth @hokietech96 @Trevor @frankh8147
