A colleague found this on the Kaw River and I can't seem to figure out what it is. Thank you all for your help!

A break from the usual dinosaurs, I am quite interested in this as it is an oddity. It is apparently a cro-magnon femur. From the site of a gravel pit along the former San River in Poland. I am waiting to hear the measurements from seller, but my questions are thus A - Is it actually real B - Is it actually legal Like, selling/buying a bone from a cro-magnon/early human seems like something that shouldn't be legal. Seller is in Europe, would I have any issues exporting it to the UK?

Hey everyone just wondering what this is…I found this in my back yard in Minneapolis MN. I don’t know if it came from this spot or if it’s from some flagstone I hauled in. But I noticed the large small shell cluster one first and said well, let’s have a look. I’m pretty sure I know when and what the small shells are but the other one I’m not sure at all. It from a split clump that I picked up. after submitting and trying to zoom in the pictures weren’t very good. You have to look closely all over anyway. It’s easy to gloss over. But there is stuff going on all over this thing. I’ll upload some better picture later when I can arrange a better setup

One of my best beach finds here in Delaware. Curious as to how old and strange that the shell develop these green crystalline flakes.
-
Hoping someone can identify this. Found while crystal hunting near an active coal mine.

Notice the symmetry and what looks like a spinal cord. Shell on top ? Beach on Delaware

Real or fake spinosaurus jaw section
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone! Ive been offered this "jaw section" from what the seller said is a spinosaurus. Is this true? Or is it a spinosaurus tooth composited in random piece of bone? This jaw section was found in the kem-kem formation.

Hi . Any idea what this fossil is? Ordovician from Morocco.

Years ago, (More than 10 now) on a venture to Dauphin Island, AL I came across a deposits of shells, two of which were very surprising to me when I first picked them up. These particular shells were not surface level, but rather slightly buried under a few (~3)inches of beach deposit. When I fully brushed the sand away and got a full view of them, I assumed because of their shape and color they were particularly large modern shells. However as soon as I touched them I realized their weight and density were not that of shell, but much more akin to rock. I’ve asked as many people as I’ve been able to show them to, no one seems to have any understanding (or interest for that matter) in the question. Do these specimens seem like they could possibly be petrified or fossilized? From my purely amateur and ignorant observations, it feels likely. I’d absolutely love to hear anyone’s thoughts and opinions on this! It’s something I’ve been very curious about for years, and I very much appreciate any informed discussion!!

Missouri creek bed find- what is this?? Its fairly uniform shape, measurements-‘thinly sliced’, curvatures etc are throwing me off, ... ... naturally occurring? Nonsense?!

I was trying to clean fossils with matrix around them that was from Aurora, North Carolina mix. A lot have been very dark black and hard to tell much after cleaning but one I thought maybe a small jaw piece. #1 #2 #3 #4

Is there a sealant or coating you can use to protect a fossil that doesn't involve using acetone? The fossil is a partial oviraptor egg. I want to be careful with it, but I also want to avoid anything that generates toxic fumes, as I live in a small space with a cat.

Spotted this on a pebble in Greece and each time is see it I wonder if it's something cool or perhaps nothing at all!!! Any ideas?? Looks like a tiny bite mark almost.

Found a nice crag whilst on a walk along the Rowthorne trail. It's an old railway cutting. Anyway, I found this. Is this a leaf fossil? I'll try get better pic when I'm home. Not sure of age of the rocks here.

I found this on my property (in Missouri), in a hunk of clay about a week ago. I spent up until now searching the area for other pieces, however, alas... nothing. Any information you may have is appreciated. This last image (below), I enhanced a bit to bring out details. Thanks for looking!

Not really sure what this is but it resembles a dinosaur claw to me. This was found in a creek bank in New Jersey. Whatever it is, I'm sure its been on this earth longer than I have. My dog chewed it but i was able to get it away from him.
