A few days ago while snorkelling on shallow waters in a greek island I found this canine tooth and I was wondering if it is a fossil or from a modern animal. Can anyone recognise it? Thank you!!!

Hello I've been "fossil dormant" for quite a while, but was on the beach yesterday and found these (the recent storms have churned/coughed up some new layers I think) the start tooth may be hard to ID without any of the bourlette, but I can tell you that it has absolutely no serrations - perfectly smooth cutting edges. Mako? As for the small conical tooth, I think it is alligator, but I'm not sure if alligator teeth have distinct sharp crease from tip to base on opposite sides like this tooth does. Thanks for any advice

Rock, Bone, or Native American Tool?
Dmgs11 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Found at Sandy Hook in the Atlantic Highlands area on a bay side beach.. any thoughts? I haven't done the tongue test, but it does seem to 'stick' to a damp finger.

Normally we only go out shell hunting, but recently learned a bit about fossils and shark teeth here in SC. So we found this on our first trip on the beach. Might it be a plastron bone? We're very new at this hobby so any help on the species and time period would be appreciated (if it is a fossil).

I drive 8 hours with a friend to a location he remembers from his childhood as yielding a lot. Oh boy it did. 100% worth the drive. Lake Huron, among the agates, pyrite, yooperlite, has some extraordinary Devonian fossils. All fossils were collected from the beach of his family’s property except for the fenestelid bryozoan, which was found at a gas station on the way there. please enjoy this collection of gastropods, petoskey stones, various tabulate corals, crinoids, stromatoporoids, bivalves, Brachiopods, tenteculites, horn corals, an unidentified agatized fossil in jasper matrix, and a pudding stone I felt like showing off too. Thanks! I highly recommend the area.

I came across this one today and am stumped as to what it is. It comes from a Queensland beach, Australia in a location where I mostly only find crabs and shells. There really isn’t any information on the age of the rock that they come from. The best guess is from a paper written in the late 1800’s suggesting a date of around 10,000 years. Judging by the gradient of rock colour/type I suspect some are much older.

Double question: two small fossils in a stone and, possible bone?
Sandruski posted a topic in Fossil ID
Good morning! I share with you two findings that, as a rookie, I have collected with great enthusiasm on the beach in Alicante, a mediterranean city in Spain. The first, I think they are two small fossils collected in a small stone. The second, if I'm honest, I think it could be a bone. He was on the shore of the sea, among the stones. To the touch and to the sight, it did not seem like a conventional bone to me, but when I looked closely, I seemed to appreciate that it has an articulation socket area at both ends. I found it curious to say the least and I share it with you so that you can give me your opinion. I don't know if it is a bone that for some reason has reached the sea and has been there until the current has carried it to the coast. The "bone" (let's call it that until you confirm that it's just a stone and I feel like a fool), measures three centimeters. Thank you very much to all of you and excuse me for my mistakes writing in english.

Last weekend after a windy week I decided to go to the beach of Katwijk aan Zee (Netherlands) to see what fossils had washed up. It was a lovely walk along the North Sea. Mammal remains from the Pleistocene (part of the Neogene period) sometimes wash up on the Dutch coast. The bone material comes from layers that are eroded below the sea surface. In the Pleistocene the North Sea was a kind of tundra plain where various animals lived such as woolly mammoth and rhinoceros, the giant deer, eland, wild horses, red deer, musk oxen, steppe bison, cave bear, cave lion, a kind of hyena and the wolf. It is best to search between the somewhat coarser material washed up on the beach, especially after stormy weather like the week before I went looking. The find frequency on the coast is generally quite low. Unfortunately, this time too the yield turned out to be low. But still it was a fantastic afternoon, where I found a fossil Bovidae molar and some fossilized bryozoan colonies. Due to the stormy weather, a lot of material from the sea had been left behind on the beach. There were also many egg cases of rays (especially Raja brachyura) and sharks (Scyliorhinus stellaris). Also found some sea urchins, of the common species the little sea apple, also called common sea apple (Psammechinus miliaris). In addition, we enjoyed the typical 'Dutch skies' with beautiful clouds. All in all, a very pleasant afternoon, with a beautiful sunset. An afternoon to repeat.

Anyone know what this might be from? Found on in shell beds on beach in northeast Florida.
-
Could anyone verify if these are sharks teeth?

Who loves the sound of fossils tinkling against each other? Just me? What, oh what, could these be? Picture of fronts and then of the backs. You guys are so educational and kind to newbies.

Hello. I picked this up the other day thinking it was wood, but on a closer look I could see webbing, with a bone like structure, however it is really worn. Would anyone have an idea on what it may belong too if it is indeed a bone? Found in a Cretaceous beach site, South Island, New Zealand. Many thanks in advance.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this possible reptilian bone? I found it at a late Cretaceous beach site in the South Island of New Zealand, often rich with marine reptilian fossils. It looks like there is a lot of holes where there used to be calcite? and is well water-worn.

Hey all, new here so sorry if this isn’t the way to do this…is anyone able to help identify what animal this may have come from. It was found on a small portion of beach below a cliff with a lot of erosion in WNY south of Buffalo. Not sure if it came from soil or lake…either way it seems on the heavier side and I’m thinking it might be a phalange from a deer figured I’d see if anyone could help confirm or come up with a different ID

These were all found on Myrtle Beach over the last few months and I was just wondering what they were (obviously). They look like fragments of turtle shell but I'm not completely sure. I realize I should've used a lighter more even-colored lighting/background, but I hope these pictures will suffice. Thanks for any input. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Hello, I found this on a beach along Croatian coast and was unlike any of the surrounding rocks/geology. It's symmetrical and submarine-shaped. I'm wondering if it's a fossil v. a natural formation. Any information is greatly appreciated!
