I need to know what animal it is, its age, and if I can make a document so I can travel with it to the United States, a friend in Uruguay gave it to me but I now live in Brazil, I am going to live in the United States and I want to travel with it, otherwise I don't know what to do. It makes me sad because it is a special gift and I know it is an important piece. Measures approximately 17 centimeters

I had purchased a few items from an estate sale of a gentlemen who was an archeologist that had past and this was in the lot. I was curious if this could be a fossilized bone? The texture seemed to be different than a rock, but not sure. Location was in southern Tennessee, but unsure of his travels. I don’t believe this could be enough to identify which species.

So I found a few things at Myrtle Beach and I'm looking for some help in ID'ing them. I love looking for fossils but am not sure on things and I love the help I've gotten on this site so far. And any help with these is appreciated. The ruler is in inches. . . . 1: I thought this looked similar to a whale ear bone? Admittedly it could just be a rock but I wanted to post here and get some opinions. Getting photos of something black and shiny can be difficult but I could take more if needed, and maybe find better lighting. 2. At first I though alligator tooth but then I learned that mosasaur teeth have been found in this area also, so now I'm not so sure. Either way I love it. 3. I was thinking dolphin tooth but obviously it's broken so I'm not entirely sure. 4. And I thought I'd throw this one here too. When I saw it in the water I thought I was going to be picking up a cucullaea steinkern, but this is what it was. I thought I remembered seeing something like this online somewhere but I really have no idea, unless it's just a piece of some bone. So there they are. Any information about any of these would be much appreciated. And I could post more photos of any of these.

I found this on my property (in Missouri), in a hunk of clay about a week ago. I spent up until now searching the area for other pieces, however, alas... nothing. Any information you may have is appreciated. This last image (below), I enhanced a bit to bring out details. Thanks for looking!

I about to apply for a fossil permit and I understand all aspects except submitting vertebrae fossil? What are the steps and when would I submit these fossils? Also what do I fill out to submit them? Thanks!

Hi Group, I have no idea what is this. Is it possibly a stromatolite? maybe is it a moss or something? My father a collector had it, he was in commercial navy 50's-80's so this could originate from anywhere, but most of his fossils were from Morocco and Brasil. size: (approx.) : 10.7 cm X 8.2 cm X 3.7 cm weight: 299 grams No any reaction on UV lamp, nothing glows As always any help very much appreciated !

While walking the beach my wife found this oddly shaped rock. She was looking for “ heart shaped” rocks but after looking at it a bit it seemed like it has a margin where the tooth enamel might have been. That tooth face also has what seems like microscopic tubulas which might have once been the dentin. It’s certainly not pristine as it does have a defined point. It’s about 3-3.5 inches at the longest points. It could just be a rock but I was curious your opinion

Needed help with few finds not sure of. They are from North Carolina. The one in the middle of the first photo is very fragile, so if it's anything nice wanted to try and get it protect (its thin). #1 ( wasn't sure if left one was coral or shell piece maybe?)-( middle no idea)-( left was thinking shell piece, just looked different with the swirls then what have been seen) #2 (Backs) #3 ( middle one closer view) #4 ( Wasn't sure on what parts was) #5 ( closer view) #6 ( back of one on left) #7 ( back one right)

Hey TFF! First post! Not making my appearance with a bang, but had a decent quick trip to the Potomac, about an hour and 15 minutes. Nice handful of sea glass, decent amounts of ray plates and turritella. A few solid sand tigers. And what I believe to be a small, busted otodus in the palm of my hand. I usually always come away with at least one small complete otodus, so when I don’t, it makes a great day fossil hunting turn into merely a very good day 🤷🏻♂️. Let me know what you think!
