Does anyone knows from what animal is this ? from Greece. It is heavy
-
I know its most likely not bone, but something looked different about this piece, like a socket. Found in NJ Cretaceous Stream. Concretion? Rock? Or any chance at dino bone?
-
Found on McFaddin Beach on the upper Texas coast. Large bone.
-
I am not sure what this is. Could it be coral or tenticle?

Hi all, I have another fossil here for your inspection please. It seems to be a Spinosaurid partial neural spine but I cannot be sure. @Troodon @LordTrilobite

Hi again-any ideas on this one? Found loose on the ground in Wyoming. Think its fossil material or just rock? thanks for your time

I am trying to identify what kind of fossil this is. This is the background. I found this in our backyard rock garden about 55 years ago. Since my uncle worked at Fresno State College (now California State University Fresno) in the 1940s, and was the previous owner of my family's house, I think it came from the College's collection. The specimen is clearly an animal bone and I think part of an upper leg bone or pelvis.

I found this rock recently in an area where high mesas are eroding near the river. I know there was a lot of Pueblo activity and also likely pre-Pueblo. There is a lot of volcanic rock, but nothing that looks like this. The erosion is exposing tons of river rock of all sizes, that likely came from the north with glacier melt. This area is by the river, roughly halfway between mountains and volcanoes. The rock is smallish, palm-sized, and sort of a squished pyramid shape. It turns blackish when wet, but as it dries it becomes this grayish color. I have looked at it with a magnifier and don't see anything that looks like man made tooling marks, but do notice a lot of features that look like bone. If it is possible to say- it is neither light like pumice nor heavy like a dense rock. I have searched online and the closest thing I can find to it are some images of glyptodont scutes, only my rock is not flat or cookie-like. I am wondering if it could have come from an edge or near the tail of a glyptodont or similar creature. This is causing a lot of head scratching, so please, any ideas or suggestions of places to look or people to contact will be much appreciated. I hope these photos show enough to figure it out.

This piece appears to be some kind of bone, smooth on the bottom (bottom photo) but has lines on the other side (top photo)? Could this be turtle shell?

My friend found this on Folly Beach, SC. Any ideas on what it is?

Hello - I found this bone fragment washed up on the beach near Ocean City, New Jersey, USA. Any identification help would be great! Thanks!

Hi all. I found this fragment in the surf at Westmoreland State Park, VA, which is part of the Horsehead Cliffs formation. I believe it's part of the miocene as the Calvert Cliffs are. I was just wondering if we think this might be a bone fragment? It looks like it has that spongy appearance of trabeculae. The fragment is just under 2 inches long (4.5 cm) and 3/8 inch wide (about 1cm). It's extremely flat on one side, very irregular and somewhat porous on the other. Vertebra, ribs, skull, perhaps from some marine mammal?

Is this bone or coral? It is lighter in weight than other similar in size pieces found that were definitely bone.

Hello all, Im new to this forum and new to fossil collecting. I major in biology and come from collecting numismatics for several years. I’ve found something very unique in paleontology, and that is immense age, which drew me to collecting fossils. The piece below was collected from Jebel Hafeet in Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates (quite high up the mountain). I’ve noticed two odd, radiating shapes (just below the mid-area of the rock). It’s about 10-15 mm in diameter. I’m not an expert in fossils but thought it looks too orderly to be classified as inorganic. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Mohammed

Spinosaurus Claw, fake or not?
JavierMS posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Greetings, I recently acquired a big spinosaurus claw from a moroccan seller at a fossils and minerals event in Barcelona, Spain, called Expominer. I was quite happy with the purchase until a friend of mine told me that it could be a fake claw carved from a bone, but he is not sure, I have been checking similar spinosaurus claws on catawiki and they are sold as real dinosaur claws... What do you think? Thank you very much.

Sorry to create three separate posts here, I just thought trying to get it all on one would get jumbled and confusing. I feel confident these last two are bone but have not been able to come up with an idea as to what they could be. The first specimen has indents on both ends but is clearly not hollow. Second specimen appears almost ear shaped. Any input/suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

Attached photos are a bone I found Tuesday in the Peace River. I am leaning toward antler from research I have done thus far. Please forgive me if the photos are a little blurred. I think they may be sufficient for an ID. Any help with ID would be appreciated.

Hello what's would this bone be from? its hollow and from hell creek formation and its under 1.5 inches.

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...

I found an unidentified fossil on the beach here in Ponte Vedra, just south of Jacksonville. Previously I have found other Ice Age mammal bones and teeth, including a Glyptodont scute, a horse tooth and part of a mammoth tusk as well as fish and reptile material. I’m no anatomist but based on the bilateral symmetry this looks to me like it comes from the spine or tail of something. Actually I’m put in mind of the bony knob on the end of the tail of an Ankylosaur, though I’m obviously not suggesting it is that. Can anyone weigh in? Thanks in advance...u

Went Canoeing with a friend of mine this weekend and came across of the following on a sandbar. Any idea on what we found? Cow/Bison/Horse? Can send more photos if needed. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey all, hoping some of you could help me identify a few specimens I found this year while surface collecting on my hikes. The first one looks like maybe a ceratopsian frill segment? I'm just comparing it aesthetically to pieces of triceratops frill I've seen for sale but I could be dead wrong. It needed no cleaning, was completely eroded out of the hill. This next one is a vertebrae of some sort. Caudal maybe? Looks fairly eroded, likely exposed for a long time before I found it and was at the bottom of a hill so it took a tumble at one point. This last one is a partial tooth I found in two pieces, glued it back together. Despite being broken, the serrations are still very visible.

I found odd shaped bone or shell fragments, i don’t know what it is I just know it’s not a rock it was found at Kelly park in apopka fl

Hi I recently found out what this bone came from from my first post I turns out it’s from a Centrosaurus Aperatus I found out from a Centrosaurus leg bone that looks exactly like this from the Centrosaurus bone bed in Dinosaur Provincial Park Alberta Canada open to any opinions.
