Hello, Can anyone please help me identifying the attached item? It’s about 2cm long and appears to be a fossilized tooth of some sort. Thank you. Jon

Hi, Everyone. We found some more odd fossils yesterday and I decided to put a few out for identification. I added a shot of all of them together next to a centimeter ruler for size and comparison, the rest are individual items. One looks an awful lot like a pecan, but turned out to be a brown, striated stone. As always, I’m here to learn. Thanks. Jon

Hello again, I found this out in Pahrump, Nevada. I listed Brown in the tags but it could be mistaken, I'm color blind LOL.. can anybody tell me what this is a fossil of? I know the desert used to be under the water at one point. It appears like it was possibly underwater. But you guys would know better than me, I mainly in the minerals. Thanks a lot!

I'm currently working on a construction project in Minneapolis, MN. We uncovered some bones about seven feet down while excavating in the street. They are very dark brown. Help on ID would be appreciated. I know they're not fossilized but seem to me to be fairly old. Maybe Buffalo or Cow? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I was recently searching for arrow heads in my creek that goes through my residence in Medina county Ohio. While searching I found a small multi colored brown, black, and red rock with many holes and patterns. I picked it up and on further inspection I found the rock was actually covered in hundreds of fossils! The rock has multiple holes as well. If anyone has an idea of what this would be called or identified as much appreciated!

Found in the ocean (gulf coast) but have no idea what it could be. It is brownish/black in color and is hard, approx 2 inches tall. Looks like the shape of a tooth to me but cannot find anything else that looks similar any help in identification would be greatly appreciated.

Found in Jackson County Missouri (I didn't find it myself, but I can most likely get more info on location it was found.) I do believe it was found in a dirt road alley. Long dark grey and brown striations, that cannot be scratched with my nail. Then on one side in a few large chunks, an orange/brown (rust colored) residue, that can be scratched off. I thought my pictures were going to look much better than this. So I can get better pictures ASAP if need be. Let me know any other information I need to provide. Thank you for looking! Hope everyone is safe and healthy out there!

Any tips on what this is
-
This is a brown stone and about the size of a dime. When the dark brown is scratched it leaves a copper red under it. When the “Rice Krispie” dots pop out it leaves a smooth void and there are smaller crystalline pieces embedded in it. It has been soaked in water and maintains shape so I don’t think it’s mud. The Krispie ranged in color like well, teeth? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I am back! If you didn't know, I buy fossils on the internet sometimes. On EBay, I found a cheap vertabrae. It was only worth 5$ and they said it seemed fossilized, so why not buy it. I got it now, and it definitely is fossilized, just I have no clue what it belongs to. If anyone knows what it might be, tell me. Bye! -Con

I know that the name Tyrannosaurus means "tyrant reptile", but I was curious to see if Barnum Brown was comparing the predatory nature of T. rex to the brutality of the ancient Greek tyrants like Hippias because the 20th century's most brutal tyrants rose to power decades after T. rex was described in 1905 (in a similar twist, at one time, one of the specimens of Tarbosaurus bataar was named Jenghizkhan by George Olshevsky because its predatory nature is comparable to the plunder and destruction that Genghis Khan and his hordes wreaked on the peoples of the territories they conquered).
