Hi all! First of all I can’t believe I’m posting an is it an egg question LOL! But I was going through some Texas Permian matrix I just received and danged if this doesn’t seem like a piece of egg shell... but there’s no way I’d be lucky enough to find a piece of Permian egg so I’m betting it’s bone but still.... sorry for another egg topic but I gotta know! Thanks guys and gals!

Hi all. I picked this up on a dog walk yesterday by Chesil Beach in Weymouth UK. I regularly see belemnites, amonites, sea urchins etc but don’t recognise this. I don’t even know if it is a fossil or a bone or piece of coral. It certainly doesn’t feel like bone. It’s more of a stone / pumice consistency. Can anyone help me identify it please?

Can you help identify this bone/fossil found on Lake Huron beach?
Mulholland posted a topic in Fossil ID
The other week I found a bone(left) on a Lake Huron beach (Ontario, Canada). The bone is roughly 2.5cm tall and 3cm wide, 1cm thick. To the right of the bone is a "rock" I found yesterday. I felt it looked too similar to the bone I had found. Here they are back to back. Does anyone know what kind of bone this is? And does anyone know if the specimen to the right is infact a fossil, or is it just a rock? Hopefully this is structured well enough. If you have more questions please ask! This is my first post here so thanks for having me. - Chris

Finnlfc19 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications

Hi everyone , I found these fossils while picking through micro matrix and am not sure what they are. Does anyone know the genus/species of these finds? They were found in the Forest Marble formation which is bathonian, Jurassic. 1. Interesting tooth. Fish/shark? 2. Another tiny tooth. I would say croc but it looks way too small. 3. a tiny hybodont 4. enamel? 5. no clue 6. bone?

Hello first time poster. Found as is (not encrusted or buried) along the Whiskey Bridge outcrop in Bryan, TX, along the Brazos river. 4cm in length, about 1.5-1.0cm in diameter. Thought it was petrified wood but a hole at the cross section makes it look like a bone or antler? Surface pattern looks like antler. Has some weight to it and makes a rock like sound when put on a table or something.

I found this interesting looking bone in the peace river yesterday sitting exposed in a gravel bar, I think it’s a rib but I’m not positive. Also is it possible to identify what animal it would’ve come from? Or at least a relative size of animal?

Hi everyone, just came across this site trying to figure out what I just found. Discovered in the salt water in Chatham, MA, US. I have no clue whether this is current or ancient, terrestrial or marine, etc. You can see the next set of teeth still in the bone. It's about 10 cm long, and the largest tooth is about 1 cm wide.

Hello! I found this triangular piece at the beach in 2019 in North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It looks like a fossilized bone or bone fragment. I checked my books and the web, but have not been able to identify this piece. Any idea what this could be? Dimensions are approximately 30 mm long, 19 mm wide and 6 mm high. Thank you!

I found what I think is a bone head many years ago at Whispering Pines Camp in Franklinville, NY, which is in Cattaraugus County. It was sitting exposed at the edge of a small stream that runs through the camp, on a hill. I apologize for not having scale in the photos. The measurements are: 2.5 cm thick, 4.5 cm across at very top, 3.5 cm top to bottom as pictured.

Westmoreland State Park, VA, USA: Unidentified possible vertebrae, rib(?), and shark tooth
Bowmania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I had a fairly productive first outing to Westmoreland State Park but I have no idea what any of the fossils I found are. I am happy to provide close-ups of any of the individual fossils, and in addition to the photos here, I posted some to imgur to get around the size restriction here. https://imgur.com/gallery/2uIedQS Thanks for your help!

With a bone I found yesterday, upon cutting it open, I saw what appears to have been a tube going through it that had been permineralized like the rest. Was this originally some sort of blood vessel that went down the length of the bone or could it be something else? Thanks! Note: Dino-bone such as this specimen is found in numerous locations in the immediate area of the Four-Corners states of the U.S. I live in that immediate area and I am able to easily travel to Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, or Colorado and back home in a single day on my expeditions. Some areas such as on an Indian Reservation or B.L.M. land prohibits taking such specimens without a permit, while in other areas the taking of such specimens is allowed. If anyone comes to this part of the U.S. to find such a specimen, please be careful to avoid collecting such in an illegal or prohibited manner. Thank you.

Just experienced my first day trip to the NSR. Beautiful location for some laid-back collecting, and we did pretty well due to the recent rain. My dad found this interesting piece. It's definitely bone, and it seems to have several notches carved into it. On the right side there are 4 distinct notches. The left side appears to have a single notch, though less distinct. The front may have 3 notches, though they are the hardest to make out. I would guess the bone is partially fossilized- it feels dense, yet a fingernail can leave a scratch mark on the back with enough pressure. Any opinions as to whether this truly is an artifact? Any guesses to age? Makes you wonder what they were tallying up back then...

Hi there! I'm hoping you can help me narrow down what animal this skull might be. Most likely from the California area. Thanks in advance!

Hey folks, Here is a bone I found today. The photo shows it in situ as it was slowly sliding down a slight grade. The area where it was found does not permit collection by citizens so it remains where it was found. The area where it was found is along the ancient shoreline of the Western Interior Seaway on the west bank where the shoreline ebbed and flowed to engulf the immediate area, only to later be dry land at essentially the same level of strata. In the same immediate area where this was found, also today, I located fossilized stromatalite (a water bacteria), and fossilized wood. Within just a dozen miles of the area where I found the bone there have been collections of bone specimens ranging from mosasaurs to plateosaurid-type dinosaurs. Hopefully someone has an idea about this bone to enlighten someone who really doesn't know anything about it, namely, me. Location where it was found is in the San Juan Basin of San Juan County, New Mexico, Kirtland Formation, Upper Cretaceous period.

Could someone give me some information on these please? We going a lot of rock, fossils about 3 feet deep in our back yard. I think one is an ammonite. Thank you!

Hi I’m new to this forum. My son and I love fossils and we found a few interesting ones on a recent trip to the Jurassic south coast of England. Can anyone help with the identification of this fragment of bone we picked out of the sticky, Jurassic, Oxford Clay? The bone fragment seems to hold the remains of a small tooth? Its only 2.5cm long in total. Thanks Matt
-
Help with id please. Looks like that both fossils are bones, but with some patterns... Scale in mm. Western Ukraine. Cretaceous-Neogene.

Need some help with this one. I think it's fish, but beyond that I'm lost. Found on the banks of the Tar River in Eastern NC -- I believe Pliocene, Yorktown formation (other NC members please correct if wrong). First thought was fish tooth in a fragment of jaw but its all one piece, so not likely. Tooth with a strange piece of attached root, or not tooth at all, but bone?? Scale divisions are 1mm.

I found this in our yard years ago while digging for landscaping. Does anyone know what this might be?

Found this small (presumably fish) bone fragment last weekend while at my usual Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous) limestone roadcut in northern IL. Not really sure what to make of it. It's small, not even 1cm long. My only guesses were either a partial jaw of some sort, or maybe a small fragment of a spine. Any thoughts? @jdp @Fossildude19 @deutscheben
