I found this small and delicate, nearly intact marine reptile bone in Big Brook yesterday, and I'm wondering if anyone can identify it. The bone is just under an inch in length.

Hello everyone! Here I am with another mystery bone from the boulonnais (Wimereux) region - North of France. The layers here are kimmeridgian and titonian (late Jurassic). I have a few pieces that I’ve collected over the course of 3 days all at the same spot. I managed to match the first three pieces, with two pieces that I already glued together since I was 100% sure of how they fit together. The first two pieces together: Then, I have this third piece that also match but I didn’t find the perfect angle to glue them yet: And together, they would look like this: Total size would be 15 cm broad and 20+cm long (that’s 6 inch broad and 8 inch long). Now I was thinking about part of (distal end) a plesiosaur propodial. But I’ve found a couple plesiosaur and pliosaur propodial from there and they are way flatter at the end. Also, they are mostly the same shape on both sides. Whereas here the « upper part » (the two pieces already glued together) are chunky on one side and flatter on the other side. Has anyone got an idea? Thank you very much!

Does this look like cancellous material?

I have a couple of these, this is the best specimen. I think they are from a mosasaur but only because they were found on the NSR. There are two indentions/holes that don't show up that well in the picture. The first picture shows the indention the best, there is a corresponding one on the other side. I apologize the lighting didn't make that more clear. If it helps in identification, I can retake pics.

I found this at Charmouth beach, UK. It does look like some kind of foot to me. Any idea? Gerald, The Netherlands

Hoping there's enough of this bone to ID. I'm 95% sure it's old, either Pleistocene or Oligocene (Chandler Bridge), based on the stratigraphy. The preservation looks similar to articulated Chandler Bridge material (white outside, reddish interior), which would imply marine. Not certain about that though.

Hi ive been prepping this bone which I thought was a vertebrae. Then I thought partial neutral. Now I’m not sure what it is. It seems to be hollow through the centre with quite a wide cavity.

is this bone ? It looks more like 2 arthropods I'm still cleaning it up

Found this today with in my fossil shells dirt. It looks like a shell, rock, bone all in one.

Well this was recently gifted to me from a friend whom was told by her late husband it may have been a dinosaur bone. Location of where he obtained this is unknown. It's very smooth not one hundred percent sure if it is even bone. I am wondering if anyone recognizes it. I have read and asked many others who collect historical artifacts and they can't make sense of it

Hello, i saw this Spinosaurus bone for sale today and wondered which bone it is, if its still identifyable. It kinda reminds me of a big vertebra fragment tho. It was found in the Kemkem beds, morocco. @Phos_01, because i know you as one of the Spino experts, migth you know the correct bone position and name ?

Fossil identification help please! Peace River Formation Venice, FL area
Newbie77 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello fellow paleontology buffs! I have recently returned from a trip to the Venice area where I did some surface/ beach sifting for fossils. I need to get out and dive there next time. I would love to have some help identifying fossils that are tripping me up. I recognize that there are a LOT of them. Sorry!!! I organized them on to a PDF because there were a lot to look at, but please let me know if it does not open up and I will upload them as images instead. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

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.

Found by my son at Beaumaris Fossil beach in Victoria. Hoping someone can help with identification.

It's a bone, I don't know what, it must be from a seal, dolphin or a big fish, or I don't know. This is a bone that was found in a formation from the early or middle Miocene. In that formation I have found dolphin bones, dolphin teeth, penguins, various shark, stingray, and fish teeth. I upload some photos, it is a little wet because I was cleaning it.

Found on the coast of Hilton Head South Carolina USA. I am quite unsure of what this is, it’s very eroded and might ether be unidentifiable, or just a funny looking rock. However, I find it looks very tooth like, with one wide end, and one pointy end, as well as a cavity that is open at the wide end and gently tracks further into the “tooth” My first thought was a premolar of some sort of primitive whale sans the roots. But that seems unlikely. Please share your thoughts! I’d love any sort input and if you would like a better picture of a certain angle, let me know! Here are the pictures 1. Front side 2.Back side 3.Right side 4.left side 5.Top side 6.Bottom side And here is a video of the specimen rotating! (ignore the sparkling putty, it was the only option I had to get it to sand up nice while still being visible at all angles) IMG_0199.mov

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 went to visit Texas for the solar eclipse and found this walking along the Brazos River. It is about 2-3 inches long. There were also many shell fossils and small pieces of petrified wood. WE went to the nearby state park to see the dinosaur tracks which were amazing also.

Hi everyone, This is first time I create a topic, apologies in advance if any mistakes. I am a newbie into fossils And I have been searching for a long time trying to figure it out some ID for this unidentified fossil bone. I got it some time ago and I would like to know if thanks to the knowledgeable members of the forum it was possible to get a closer ID. I know that getting species on isolated pieces is impossible, but I would be happy to get a group, family or closer genus of the type of animal it could belong to. *Could it be a pterosaur (as it has very thin walls that was my first guess)? Or some other reptile or even a bird? How to differentiate? * Is a radius as per seller description? Or could be a metatarsal, phalanx... It is from the Phosphate mines of Khouribga, which seeing the bit of matrix attached looks true. Internally is completely crystallized with a thin bone wall around. I took some pictures of the section. The only information I got from the seller is the following: - Location: phosphate mines, Khouribga, Morocco. - Age: Late Cretaceous 96-66 MYO - Probably radius - Unidentified species Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6

Can't for the life of me figure this out I found it while gardening in in VA nowhere near a beach. Thanks for any insight ! I've googled everything from cow to horse to ox NADA!

I am new to this forum so I apologize if this post is incorrect in anyway. We found some new bones we are unfamiliar with in the Peace River in Arcadia, Florida we’d like some input on. The first bone has a weight of 1,028 grams and the second bone has a weight of 203 grams to give a complete picture of their sizes. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for looking!

Hi, I found these shapes in the rock so I'm not sure if they are concretion or something else.Can someone identify them?

Another hunt recently with more E KS ‘glacial’ material. Posting this on behalf of my hunting partner. My novice guess is equus, but I’m not sure. If it is equus, got any species ideas? Thank you so much, I really appreciate the help!
