In late January this year I went on a holiday inside my state to a place called Cape Patterson, in Victoria, Australia. On a school camp in March, 2023 (that coincided on my birthday), we did a short fossil course on the cliffs with a palaeontologist who I rather sadly forgot the name of. We found a few fossils, with me being the first person to find any. Long story short, I returned and found a slab of rock containing a piece of plant material and a few flecks of darkness, resembling which what I had told were plant fossils the year before. Upon further analysis, I discovered a small bone like marking that I thought to resemble a bone similar to those found in small reptiles such as Barasaurus besairiei (see below:). If any further information can be given to any of the features I described, that would be greatly appreciated. I can take better, clearer photos if they are required. (Note: the image below is not in this specimen, more as a reference for the “bone”)

Not sure what it is. But I think it is petrified bone.... I'm really curious what kind of bone this could be.

I found this in items of my brother that I inherited. We grew up in Oklahoma so I'm thinking he found it here but he also would visit Florida, Texas and Wyoming, therefore it's a mystery as to location. The dark length of it is very smooth as is the light colored end in the dip but surrounding the dip on the end is slightly rough, not much but you can feel a difference. It would be much appreciated if anyone could tell me more. My brother collected alot of different fossils, bones, skulls and many other items and was awarded for his donations to museums. Thank you for reading.

Unsure if this is a fossil or something else? Found in North Central IL
briipaige posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this in North Central IL along a dried up part of the Illinois River. Any idea what it could be? I'm an avid fossil hunter, and have never come across this before. It almost looks to be a bone fragment

Hi. Usually expecting to be told my find is just a rock, nonetheless, here I am, returning in hopes that potentially what I’ve come across isn’t a just rock this time. Hoping someone will help me with perspective on the potential of this find. Thanks.

Found this at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I thought it was the bottom of a molar but it’s wavy on both sides. It’s got 5 bumps on each side in a pattern. Found in the water. Thanks for any help

Hello, I found this in a Ripley Formation locality in Georgia. It looks like bone and is very light but I’m not sure because it could just be a strange looking rock. A geologist in the 1900s who did a report for the Georgia geological survey wrote that there were undeterminable fossil bones, shark teeth of various Cretaceous sharks, and a mosasaur tooth here. I appreciate any input, thank you.

Hey, Hoping to get some help on this one, found in Compton Bay, Isle of Wight, UK. Was initially drawn to it due to the porous appearance, but the opposite sides are super irregular in shape and made me think coprolite. It does resemble slightly megaladon coprolite (of course not possible due to scale). I'm really puzzled by it so any opinions welcome!

Hey, New to the forum so hope this post is OK. Was hoping to get some expert advice on a couple of pieces of what I'm hoping are bone fragments. Both found in ComptonBay, Isle of Wight in the UK. They are very small so I've no included anything for scale, I appreciate ID of species etc would be impossible given the size, but wondering if these are actually bone fragments? I'm very new to fossil hunting and looking to fulfil a childhood dream! Thanks in advance

I collected this fossil many years ago and I have always been intrigued by what it could be. The truth is that it is certainly similar to a bone, but since I am just a collector and not an expert, I would like someone here to give me their opinion about it. of this fossil. It was collected in Alicante, Spain and is found in a calcareous matrix.
