ID help: Phalange/phalanx? From Pleistocene Romania
HuracanQiui replied to HuracanQiui's topic in Fossil ID
Hi guys, this phalange/phalanx (?) was purchased a while ago, and is said to be from Pleistocene Romania, (the same age as the cave bears). Could anyone please provide an ID? c8c7a87cee60bc6843ea7cf81eabda77.mp4

I found this on a beach in Charleston County, South Carolina, and I am looking for a possible identification. I have found whale ear bones before, but this looks quite different so I was wondering if it was a land mammal ear bone. Any help would be appreciated.

This was bought in a shop and i was told it was supposed to be a Woolley rhinoceros tooth. Would any one be able to clarify that for me or maybe have any more information on it like an approximate location or a round about age it could be? Also, would this be a part of the tooth from below the gum line? Anything would be much appreciated

Pleistocene Shells - Rincon Point, Southern California
ezeemonee posted a topic in Member Collections
Many earlier Pleistocene period shells (~1M yrs ago) from a site inland from Rincon Point in Southern California. Got some great ID suggestions from various people on these and was informed that the shattered Trochita (Limpet like slipper shell) is probably one of two undescribed extinct species known from that deposit. Useful ID references for the area: Phill Liff Gieff, Frank Pesca Jr, Thomas Everest, and others https://inyo4.coffeecup.com/santabarbara/santabarbara.html Cyclocardia / Coanicardita - Grant & Gale (1931) Antiplanes - Raymond, 1904 Cantharus fortis (P. P. Carpenter, 1866), an extinct species

Hello all, I posted a tooth yesterday that you kindly identified for me, and I have a few more fossils that I found that I would really appreciate an identification on. All found on Zandmotor beach, The Netherlands. There are four specimens: 1 A bone with a hole in the middle, seems like a vertebrae(??). Any idea what fragment it really is and maybe what kind of animal it came from? Length: 2.5 cm 2 A bone that I would also like any information about, although it might be really hard to identify. - 4 cm 3 Small, flatter bone. - 4.5 cm 4 Are these petrified wood by any chance? They do feel like a rock and also sound like such when I gently hit them with another rock. There are 3 pieces in total that I have shared. - around 6 cm.

I’m having a hard time identifying these bones. That were sold to my as narrow nosed rhino from Germany. Is there any way to say? best regards Emil

Hi Everyone, I went fossil hunting last weekend on the Norfolk coast, UK. A long walk up and down the beach of Happisburgh. Well known for its Ice Age mammal finds. I found a few different pieces, but this one in particular caught my eye. It's been rolled around in the surf somewhat, but I was hoping someone might be able to ID this for me? Because it does retain some shape still, it kind of looked like the end of a femur or tibia? But it does also resemble an ankle bone from a large animal, possibly Mammoth, Rhino or Bison? What do we think? Thanks in Advance, Jim.

What animals lived with humans and mammoths during the Younger Dryas in new england?
braxasaurus posted a topic in Questions & Answers
(I ask for paleoart purposes) what animals lived in the northeastern, more specifically New England, even most specifically massachusetts/cape cod. I want to make a peice with some megafauna that lived during the Younger Dryas, and mabe some early humans if my inability to draw humans becomes at least somewhat better. Thank you! -
Hello, I found a seller on online auction site with a lot of cool looking things from northeast China but no IDs for their fossils. The herbivore looks a lot like a sus scrofa piece I have from Florida, I have no thoughts on the carnivore. I'd like to ID before buying if possible. Thanks for any help!

I found this in the dunes near the beach in an uninhabited point off the coast of South Carolina in Charleston harbor. The US army corp of engineers periodically dredge the harbor to make it deeper and dumped the tailing at the tips of islands which is where this was found. The area is where people go to hunt for meg teeth, and you can also find many pieces of fossilized ice age animal bones. Occasionally, bits of stone tools are found there too. Anyway, I’m wondering what animal this might be. More importantly, it looks like humans may have processed it, but I’m not positive. 1. The hole through the middle of the bone is cleanly drilled, straight, and symmetrical all the way through. 2. The bottom is perfectly flat as if it’s been cut and ground down against something. The rest of the bone is not weathered in the same way. The outer edges of bone on the bottom are polished all the way around. 3. The mud/dirt on the flat bottom filling the pores in the bone is also perfectly flat and fossilized in place. For mud to fill the pores, the bone would have needed to be cut flat prior to fossilization. 4. There is evidence of wear around the hole that’s hard to see in the pictures (along the top of the bone, along the inner edges of the hole on both sides). The wear spots match where a string would go if this were tied to something. Does anyone have an idea what animal this is? Could a natural process could have created both the hole and flat bottom? Could this be evidence of paleo indians processing the bone?

Hi all My son and I are going through our fossil finds from Florida. We have been looking through multiple books and websites trying to figure out what this tooth is. We think it's from a tapir but would like the opinions of others with more experience. Thanks in advance! Bret & Zach

Just wanted to share my fossil collection with you guys. Nothing to crazy mostly common stuff, but it's all from a years worth of digging. Everything you see here taught me a lot about identifying fossils. After that year I kinda stopped digging due to personal life reasons and I started new hobbies. That was 10 years and unfortunately I never got back into it till a few weeks ago I started hunting agatized coral and caught the bug again to want to hunt. I'll be posting as I find new stuff. Thanks you!

Hi everyone! I acquired this jaw a few months ago and IDed it as coming from a large Canid. My question is can it be identified further and is there any funny business. Specifically with the Canine which is a different color than the other teeth. I tested the bone in multiple places so I know it's authentic, I'm just wondering if the Canine was found individually and inserted. The placement of a little bit of putty in the socket with the canine doesn't help my suspicions. As for the ID I figure Grey Wolf is the most likely but I'm not to experienced with canid material and was hoping for a second opinion to rule out something like a really big coyote (or rule in something really special like Dire Wolf). The Jaw is from Siberia and measures 18.13 cm long. Let me know if there's any other pics or measurements I can provide and any insight is appreciated as always!

Mammoths and Smilodons stay in the public spotlight, but what about all of the other species?
