I found this on a point bar on the Brazos River. It appears to be an attempt to make an arrowhead, or maybe it was naturally made. Thoughts?

I found this at a Point Bar on the Brazos River. It looks like a hand-worked item, but since joining this forum, I have learned that nature can create amazing-looking items just fine on its own. What do you think?

I found this yesterday while exploring a sandbar on the Brazos River in Texas. I'm just double-checking to make sure that it's petrified wood.

I found this in a dried-out section of the Brazos River bottom. It appears to have been worked, but it could have formed naturally. Has it always been a rock, or is it fossilized wood?

The lower section of the humerus bone or a petrified animal bone fragment?
LostandFound posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this possible bone fragment yesterday while exploring the Brazos River banks in Texas. It was located on the surface of a sandbar riddled with petrified wood. It feels like a lightweight stone, and based on my limited research online, it looks like the lower section of the humerus bone. Are there any estimates on how old this item might be? If it is a human bone and it's ancient, it should go to a museum. Thoughts?

I was out walking a gravel bar along the Brazos River today near Bryan, Texas. I was picking up several pieces of petrified wood and grabbed a small piece covered in mud, that I thought was petrified wood due to its shape. After cleaning it up a bit in the water, I now think it’s a mammal’s molar. I am not at all familiar with Pleistocene (?) teeth but I can see the enamel with ridges and the root. The tooth is 1” long, 1.5” tall (root to top of enamel), and .6” wide. I’ve attached several photos at different angles but let me know if you want any with more detail. The scale is in inches as I unfortunately do not have a metric ruler.

I’m hoping this vertebra is in good enough condition to identify. I am clueless when it comes to verts. It seems a little big for deer, but smaller than bison or horse. Thanks for looking.

This partial vertebra has me stumped. It was found on the Brazos River in Southeast Texas…..Pleistocene. Thanks for looking and hopefully steering me in the right direction

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.

So from the title I obviously have no idea what this is. Usually when I pick up something like this I just call it turtle. This does not seem like turtle …. Soft shell or any other that I’ve found. I’m wondering if it could be an osteoderm, but what?

This is my first post in this section. I found this while fossil hunting on the Brazos River in SE Texas. There is a lot of petrified wood, chert, chalcedony where I am. I’ve seen some interesting patterns on banded chert but nothing like this. Anyone have an idea?

I found this today out on the brazos river and I’m not sure what it is exactly. When I first picked it up my thought was mammoth or mastodon skull just from pictures I have seen. Can anyone help me identify this?

I may have created a monster. I took the son of a friend fossil hunting on the Brazos River in SE Texas a couple of days ago. He’s about to be a senior in high school and has never been fossil hunting. He went out by himself today and found something that has stumped me. He texted me pics and my immediate thought was Mammoth tooth in bone. I decided to drive to where he was since it wasn’t really out of my way home. Even in person I can’t decide if this is an unerupted juvenile mammoth tooth in jaw bone or something entirely different. I see potential mammoth tooth plates, but no enamel. It is 100% bone, typical of Pleistocene material that I’ve found on the Brazos River for the last 15 years. The only other thing I can possibly think of as an ID is tortoise shell, but there are no sutures to indicate that

I know the ends are quite worn, but is there any way to determine what animal this is from? My gut says hog, but Before I trash it I want to be sure it’s not something like tortoise.

Not sure if the identification section is the right place to post this because I know it is a Pleistocene Horse tooth from the Brazos river in southeast Texas. However I’m wondering if this is a pathological tooth or a cavity. I’ve found well over 100 horse teeth and none of them have this feature. I appreciate any insights

I have looked under magnification but can't find any wood cell structure so this one is throwing me off but still leaning toward wood. Under magnification I did find hairline striations but those can also be found in some enamel. This piece is also polished looking but it is as it was found could it be a tooth fragment?.
