I found these pieces all in the same creek bed that had been eroded by winter rains I guess. Anyway, I believe they are all part of the same fossil because they were in the same spot. I have no clue how to determine age or what is. It looks like some of the bone had damage/scar tissue when alive...maybe? IDK, any help would be appreciated.

What type of fossil bone is this? Any information? Found in northern New Mexico.
CoachPorter posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this in northern New Mexico where there is a history of Pueblo culture. Found on/in a creek bank. I don't know anything about it other than they definitely seem to be bone.

Two pieces of bone from Sharktooth Hill the first has a shape I’m hoping someone might be able to identify. The second might be a little too worn down. Any ideas ?

Hey everyone! A few weekends ago I did my second-ever fossil hunting trip at the well known site of Beaumaris Bay in Melbourne. I was hoping to find a shark tooth, and we did bump into a fellow hunter who had found a couple perfect specimens, but they remained elusive - a good reason to go back! We also saw a fair number of families fossil hunting, and it was nice to see lots of people getting into the hobby at such a lovely environment! I myself found too many echinoids to keep [2], specifically specimens of the heart urchin Lovenia woodsii (not to be confused with its cousin, Lovenia forbesii, which is nearly identical to my untrained eye). I saved a few nice specimens, as well as what I hope is a piece of marine mammal bone [3], and some rock with a bit of an unusual pattern in it ([4+5] - I'm suspicious as to whether it's a fossil or not, so I'd love an opinion!) Overall it was a lovely trip, and I'm having a great time getting into this hobby!

Hey there I wanted to introduce myself because I'm completely new to not only the website but also the field or any field entirely. Many many props to you paleontologists and archaeologists and scientists because I would consider myself have a fairly intelligent individual in general but trying to self teach about fossils when you don't know the first thing is not the easiest LOL I've always been pretty outdoorsy and love the idea of fossil hunting and always have but it wasn't until recently that I moved to one of the most perfect places for it... Northern Colorado. To be honest it took a few years before I even had a clue that rock hunting is even a thing though. In the past two or three years I've gotten more and more fascinated with Mother Nature and her ability to create things far more beautiful than I could even imagine. For the most part I've collected cool rocks I've seen here and there but because I've got an 8-year-old that loves to follow suit, it can be tricky to remember 100% where these rocks have come from. I can tell you for sure most of them if not all of them I would bet money came from the same place which just happens to be what I would imagine is as perfect as any for something like fossils really be at. So I've gone back and forth saying that it's totally possible to find a kick butt fossil but then I tell myself there's really just no way I'd be lucky enough and all I've got is a really pretty Rock I can put my garden. In the back of my mind I've wondered though for a long time now and so I thought that I'd come on here and ask for some advice from some of you guys if you wouldn't mind. I'm making three posts of my number three favorites I think is what I'm going to do and then cross my fingers. I'll expect there just rocks for my garden and hope for the best. If you could please let me know if you have any idea for sure if this might be any kind of a fossil or even maybe a semi-precious Stone or interesting mineral. Anything would help at all and thank you for your time

Hi, this bone was found on the shores of Fortescue, NJ. I suspect it is Pleistocene too modern in age.

It is a humerus bone of Plesiosaurus ?
caimano posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications

This vertebra was found on a NJ beach. It measures about 2.75 by 2.5 inches in size. It appears to be a bone and not a fossil. Just curious what it is from. Thank you in advance.

Went Hunting Tuesday, Opened a thread "Some finds" to discuss some of the more interesting finds to me. I had some additional finds and would like help in identifying them. They are harder than the initial set. Sorted out small shark teeth, ray teeth, etc... There are a couple of distressed Tridactyl horse teeth on the right, a shark vert so fragile it broke on discovery and also again after... First is a bone. When I saw it , I thought it was a Rhino metatarsal. It is not, but I have never seen this bone previously and that is pretty rare. That "slot" on the bone in the last photo is natural. The bone density and porosity reminds me of marine mammal... @Boesse The 2nd find is a dolphin tooth.... I found a similar small dolphin tooth at this location last June and trying to confirm (or not) that this is likely the same species. Third is a possible claw, I am wondering Armadillo, and we can always consider raptor. Bottom: Side: 4th, How about these small 13 mm rostral teeth? Are they Pristis .sp? They seem different from what I have normally found in the Peace River. Thanks for any and all comments, and responses. Jack

Looking for a little help with some Kem Kem Bones. First are these two, which at first glance I thought were Hybodus shark spines but they lack the surface texture you see on Hybodus spines. I checked Ibrahim's 2020 paper and it states there are only two morphotypes found in Kem Kem, one with striations and another with tubercles, so I'm a little lost as to what these belong to.

Hi all! I'm a fairly new fossil fan and a middle school science teacher. To my excitement, this was left in my classroom by a previous teacher. It looks to be bone and possibly petrified wood? I was hoping someone with more knowledge could help me out. Much thanks!!!!

I am at a loss for what this is and I've looked everywhere can anyone recognize this?
Mekare posted a topic in Fossil ID
I'm usually pretty good about identifying what I have for the most part but this one thing has been driving me nuts..I found it with some other random bones and shark teeth of all kinds in blues, reds, blacks, and some a mix of orange and black, but..this one I can't seem to place. span widgetspan widget

@Jeffrey P and I checked out Douglas Point today to try our hand at finding some of the Late Paleocene fossils the site is known to offer. We found many shark teeth and partial ray teeth, but my special finds of the day were these two larger bone chunks. I am hoping that they are diagnostic enough to be able to identify. The first chunk seems crocodilian to me, perhaps a part to the neural arch on a vertebra. I suspect that the second chunk is too fragmentary to be identified as something other than bone, but it is worth asking what people think. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I found this fossilized bone on the beach on Tybee Island, GA while looking for shark teeth. It looks like a tiny alligator or snake head but I'm guessing it's not. Any help to ID would be greatly appreciated! The first pic is the top of it, second is it flipped over. Thank you for any help!

Found this in one of those shark & mosasaur tooth bags from Morocco Looks like it could be bone to me, not sure what is up with the hole in it though.

Hello , I’m new here but thought this would be the best place to ask. I found this on a beach in Kent, Uk and I’m wondering if it’s a fossil or a big weird pebble? It looks like the shape of a plesiosaur leg bone but could that be my imagination running wild? I find a lot of small belemnites and ammonites here. Thanks for looking and your time.

Riverside Co., CA Lots of petrified wood in the area, but most of that is much darker and this looked like it might be a fragment of bone. Thoughts?
