Hi all, A friend of mine found 3 of mammal bones on the beach washed ashore after the storm from last weeks - but I'm not too good in these. Might anyone help me out to ID this - if ever possible? Big thanks!

It’s beautiful weather to add to my sea urchin collection. And play with rocks.

I am sorry, I know next to nothing about fossils and most bones. I do think this is a fossil because the little areas that look like stippling are porous like the inside of a bone and the other areas are really smooth like they have been rubbed against. I could be way off base here, but I just don't know. I found this at North Topsail Beach in North Carolina, March 6, 2022.

From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Waterworn amber from the beaches near Homer, Alaska; this piece weighs 0.7g and measures 11x9x9mm. The town of Homer is situated on the shores of the Cook Inlet on the western half of the Kenai Peninsula, south of Anchorage. A few geological Formations (Kenai Group) in the nearby area contain coal reserves, but mainly the Beluga Fm. is exposed along the beaches of Homer to Anchor Point: this Formation is of freshwater origin, and comprises layers of sandstone, siltstone, and coal. The Pliocene-aged Sterling Fm. is located slightly farther inland, with numerous streams cutting through it and emptying into the Cook Inlet, however this Formation does not contain much coal. There were a few coal mines north and south of Tustumena Lake, back in the late-19th to mid-20th centuries: the Bluff Point Mine, west of Homer, was active from 1899-1951.© Kaegen Lau

Hello - can anyone help me identify what either of these are? Found them on manasota beach in Florida - I have them marked by numbers 1 and 2 - number 1 appears to be some type of claw/nail and number 2 I’m not sure of either - might be a tooth?

Hi all, I need your help if possible in identifying these 3 fossils I found this month at Manasota Key, FL. They were found laying on top on the sand at the shoreline. I have attached pictures and am labeling them (1) (2) and (3) starting from 1 to 10 on the measuring tape. Thanks in advance for your help and knowledge!

Wondering if I can get some insight on what, if anything, this might be. I found it along the beach with glacial buff deposits on Camano Island, Washington State, USA. Thanks in advance!

Hello! Looking for some help on what fossil this is. Found in a tide pool at the beach. I was thinking whale or shark rib? Size is 240mm x 40mm x 25mm. Thanks! Jimmy -

Found this specimen on the beach in Lewes, Delaware (USA). Small iridescent shells and other shell shards throughout. It is about 4cm long at its widest point. Recently read about regurgitates and this looked similar. Anyone know what I have here?

I found this on the beach in Cherry Grove South Carolina. It's about 2 inches long. Im not sure what it is but I feel like it's a bone or tooth of some kind because of the brown discoloration on the inside but I really don't know. Will leave it to the professionals of fossil forum to give me some suggestions.

Found this on the beach in the outer banks, NC. The tusk or tooth part is 6-7 inches long. We have no idea what this could be and would welcome any help with the ID. Thanks!

Hi, Found this bone over Christmas whilst on a beach walk on the south coast of England. Please could someone identify what animal it's from and what part of the body too? It's about 15cm long. Thanks, Steve

Hello all, since I finally joined this awesome community, I decided to post these two I found many years ago at Calvert Cliffs, MD. The beaches yield marine fossils of Miocene era, shark teeth, shells, porpoise, whale, etc. I’ve always assumed the bone was something really recent but hung onto it just in case. Always assumed the tooth was some sort of crocodilian but I don’t know if that makes sense.

Hey all and a merry Christmas! I spent Christmas day at the beach with family and my partner found something on the beach which we would like to know more about. Can anyone ID this? There are a couple of broken bits allowing a cross section view. It almost looks like a mineral deposit...? Can anyone provide some input? Thanks in advance

So I found this rather large specimen embedded in rock near the cliffs of half moon bay on redondo beach, California. Found amongst barnacle scallop and clam fossils as well. I’m thinking ammonite or nautilus, or something of the like.

Hello to all! I'm an avid sea glass collector here on Cape Cod and have been collecting it for almost a decade on a beach hugely covered by rocks - which I've pretty well ignored until this recently caught my eye. I picked it up thinking it was just an interesting composite rock but was completely stumped when I saw the wood grain section as well. After some quick internet research I was so amazed to find it seemed to be petrified wood. I think it's safe to say that I probably haven't given such a thing a second thought since a grade school science class so had the contrast in the piece hadn't been so pronounced I never ever would've even thought to look for it. I still have a huge amount to learn about the identification of classifications, but am I looking at an example of black petrified wood? The feel of it is extremely smooth. The last two photos are of a piece I found the other day with some beautiful orange & red transparencies when aiming a flashlight behind it. It would seem like a pretty straight forward piece of petrified wood but perhaps I'm wrong? Ever since that day I've been collecting like mad but I really want to education myself about identifying petrified wood vs agates or other rocks, so if anybody could recommend any books for a reference guide it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your insights. , Julie

I need to pick some brains. I found this at a beach, late cretacous in age in New Zealand. The site is known for belemnites, reptilian bones and fossil wood. I have no idea what this is. It has protruding thin lines spanning out over both ends that have been replaced by calcite or quartz. The lines can be seen along the length of one side and on the other side there seems to be a circle with new protruding thin lines. Could this be pine needles? It's the only thing I can think of? Some parts almost have a woody characteristics, and other parts with fine to medium sand textures.
