Hi all! I'd be grateful if anyone could identify this bone fragment, which is allegedly the distal end of a small theropod femur according to the dealer. It comes from the Isle of Wight, the age is Lower Cretaceous and size: 2 cmtrs height. As you can see, the distal end is somewhat eroded and the bone is hollow. Thanks!

This is one of many fossils I have that range from marine fossils of ordovician or silurian to plant fossils in paleolithic era. Some are likely common to those with much experience, but a few Ive not been able to see even one near the same. Any help or even a point to the right path is greatly appreciated. PS, these arent enough I know but Im limited by size & technical skill apparently.

Hi paleoguys! Some years ago a friend of mine found on the Isle of Wight-the UK (dinosaur coast/Barremian age) what seems to be a reptile bone. It looks like a transverse process or something like that. We have no idea. We'd be very grateful if you enlight us and solve this mystery. More picture to come...

So, I went back out to purse park. I really want to try Douglas Point, but don't want to walk a 1.5 mile trail. Not that I'm lazy, but I have some health issues. So this time at purse I went south. Not sure exactly how far, but at least a mile or more. Any ways I found a few items I would like some opinions on. I'm new to fossil hunting so I have much to learn. I did not find a lot of sharks teeth, and have lost the desire to pick up the really small ones. So I found a yellow rock I guess, its just interesting that it looks like some sort of crystalline and very light. Next, I found what I thi

Hello All I found this a few weeks ago i believe bayfront brownies around the bend by the cliffs. Just thrown it in my box of rocks. I was looking through them and figured I should get the opinions of people that are in the know. I put purse in the tag as that's the only other place I've been. Though I am pretty sure it was found at bayfront. I really need to get two separate boxes. Any comments welcome. I googled around and it looks a bit like a whale ear bone.

Spent a part of the day on the Potomac River. Found a vert of some sort. I believe possibly Alligator. Any info is appreciated. Also, is there a rule of thumb for the size of a vert approximates the length of the subject. I know I have heard a one inch shark tooth approximates a 10 foot shark. I had little luck with teeth except for the usual small stuff. I found a neat looking rock. I don't think its a fossil. Then a piece of iron or something. Here are some pics.

Hello! I found these two (nearly) identical pieces in an area west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, that would have been the eastern shoreline of the Laramidia continent during the cretaceous. I checked on a geologic map, and the exposed area is all cretaceous sediments. These samples are very hard, despite their seemingly brittle shape, and do not break or disintegrate even when I apply a lot of force to them. They have no other remarkable markings other than their very unusual shape. Do you have any ideas what they could be? Thank you!

Hey yall! These are a couple of items that were found in the North Sulfur River that I am uncertain about what they are. One appears to be bone, but has a rather porous and bubbly side and a flat and smooth other side. The other looks to be enamel, possibly from mastodon?? Thank you!

Like the others, this was also found near the Michigan/Indiana border. I have no idea what it is though. I wasn't sure it was even a fossil at first, and thought it had some weird grooves cut into it, but when I looked on the side and saw the ring, I knew it was something. Post 3/4 for today.

I recently took a trip to the Iron Hill Museum in Newark, Delaware. (Which has amazing displays by the way. Its small, but fascinating.) There, I bought a small bag of about 10 fossils. I knew what most of them were, but there are a few I am unsure of what they actually are. I was wondering if anyone on the Forum could help me. All I know is that all of the Fossils were found in either Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania. Unfortunately I will have to upload these each in separate posts as it won't let me upload more than 3.95 MB. (Yell at me all you want if you have found a way aro

I found this in the mid-2000's but never really had it checked out, I'm having a paleontologist look at it soon, but I wanted to get your guys opinions. I can only post 1 photo because there is a size limit.

I live in Oklahoma and stumbled upon this. We weren't sure what sort of fossil this could be. I found it in an old dried up creek on our property. I have also found other fossils similar to this that are even larger and longer that are still half way embedded in the bed rock.

I am working for a non-profit and am attempting to ID this fossil from their collection. It was dredged up by a fishing trawler south of Long Island, NY in the 1950s. The vessel was still above the continental shelf. An "expert" from a Natural History Museum, probably in NYC, since that is where the vessel was from, stated that it was from the Mesozoic, but I have no other details about the identification. I'm not so sure that it is Mesozoic in origin, but I'd welcome any other identifications. Thanks! Here's a link to the fossil pics: https://drive.goog
