  1. As the title states, I have a few questions regarding the burn test. We hunt glacial deposits in eastern Kansas, and find many bones, some obviously not fossil (we chuck these) and some that are definitely fossil. I do understand that the river tends to darken bones, and give the appearance of fossil. However, we have found several bones that have the right color to be fossil, are exceptionally heavy for their size, and 'feel' right to be a fossil. Strangely though, when I do the burn test on them, they will not char or burn but give off a more subtle 'burnt hair' smell. Of course, on definite non-fossil bones, they smell badly and tend to usually char/burn. SO, my question: Is the burn test a definite decider on whether a bone is fossil or not? I have heard of Bison Latifrons bones not passing the burn test, yet they are without question 'fossils'. Also, I know it doesn't really apply to this, but I have also heard of collagen being preserved even in dinosaur bones; at least in small amounts. Could some collagen be preserved in some of our bones? So, is the burn test definitive? Or should I toss bones that char and burn, but ones that smell but do not burn, keep? Hopefully y'all understand what I'm getting at here. Thank you so much in advance
  2. Hi so I'm completely new to all of this and what I found was by accident and thankfully I got bored with me and my son's fish tank substrate because I would of just threw this back in the dirt. Anyways I was collecting rocks for the fish tank and brought a bunch home an took the most like ones inside to put in the fish tank and left the rest outside well months later I wanted to change the tanks look so I went through the pile of rocks when I noticed one of the coolest things I ever found then after looking on Google I seen a picture and thought it looked like another rock I found hopefully someone could please tell me what I found and if it's a more of a common or hopefully rare find. I do plan on going to try and find more. Thanks ( the first 9 pics are of what I found then the rest is what I found on Google # 1 # 2 # 3 Google Pics:

    Maybe fossilized clam super hard

    Ive had this what looks to be a fossilized clam in my yard 30+years , my grandfather brought it home one day, he said he found it while they were dredging in some part of Tampa bay, it's really hard my wet saw cut through granite like butter but this not so much, basically I was wondering if anyone knew what it was and if it might have turned into something cool because I want to cut it in half and put of display, I'd appreciate any shared knowledge thanks.

    Antique Furniture

    I don't see a thread dedicated to old furniture so I thought I would start one. I really love nice antiques and I would love to see what the TFF has in their homes for classic furniture. This weekend, my wife picked up this great roll top desk at an antique show. I had to fabricate a couple drawer rails that were missing but overall, the desk is in amazing condition. It is made of quarter-sawn oak.

    what shark tooth is this

    i found this in either ormond beach or daytona, florida which shark would this be from.
  7. I found this in Wisconsin and it appears to be a cluster of small fossils embedded in a black rock material which attracts a magnet. Any guesses on what this could be? Maybe Medusinites or Nimbia?

    Tooth

    I’m an avid arrowhead hunter and collector - came across this tooth in north east Oklahoma - any idea -I don’t think it’s shark as it’s to round and serrated .
  9. Please don't judge me for asking too much, I'm still a newbie at this ❤️ Additional info: found at Anyer beach, Indonesia

    Any idea what these are?

    I got these out of an old house where the previous owners had died..so unfortunately I don't know anything other than that about their origin, etc. I was told that the owner had been some sort of a geological surveyor for the govt. ... or something. Anyway can't figure out what these were. Did a few searches and haven't found anything on my own. Thanks

    Inherited #2 teeth?

    help identify
  20. In the late 1950's my Dad was working for the Boy Scouts of America professionally out of Alexandria, Louisiana. One of his volunteer leaders north of Alexandria was a collector of Native American artifacts, and while looking for artifacts, stumbled upon a large lower jawbone near a sandy steep nearby hillside overlooking a river. He gave my Dad the jawbone and told where he found it. We as a family went to the site and found numerous large "sharks teeth", and petrified sea shells. Dad later became friends with a oil drilling crew foreman, who gave Dad two what appears to be petrified large vertebrae the crew had found (no photo shown below) . A letter was sent with photos to the Smithsonian museum in D.C. in 1959 and we got a response saying likely the jawbone was that of a mammoth. My questions are: Anyone confirm the identity? Any idea what the jawbone may be worth? You are welcome to email me back at pinemttrailassoc._jim-AT-msn.com Jim Hall- Columbus, GA
