Friend of mine found this near Agate Beach, Oregon on the Pacific coast. Looks like some kind of bone to me but no idea what. Measures approximately 10cm in all 3 dimensions

This rock was found or bone fossil was found in southwest Florida. It has been rinsed thoroughly. Everything that is attached to it is part of it. It is pretty wild. I’ve never found anything this large or quite like this so any help or suggestions of what it might be Would be possibly more than one thing who knows would be much appreciated. Thank you very much for your help in advance.

The dense bone, with a heavier than usual specific gravity to what you would expect from a bone. It was found at 0.5m below ground level within weathered Langport Member, Blue Lias Formation and Charmouth Mudstone Formation.

Hello! I had a nice afternoon in northwest Dallas County, Texas, finding some beautiful pyrite and even a couple of fossilized fish skeletons (my extraction abilities were lacking). This bone came out of the clay at water level in the creek I was exploring. Right where I was finding fish skeletons, but this bone seems to belong to a far larger creature than the small and fragile fish skeletons I was finding embedded in the shale. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I found this at Flag Ponds and it has me a bit confused. I’ve never found a rock like this at any of the Calvert areas. I’ve stumbled across where clay had been binding gravel/pebbles together and it was soft and squishy. This is rock solid and also has some bone fragments in it. Has anyone else ever stumbled across anything like it from Calvert?

Very hard bone--not sure it qualifies as a fossil. Been the ocean a LONG time is my guess. Found on beach in Delaware.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

From the album: Fin Lover's South Carolina Finds

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
