Received secondhand photos from a friend - Maryland beach concretions, or something more?
Mara_Masina posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello guys, hope you've all been well! A friend recently reached out to me with these photos and asked if they were anything, so I apologize for the lack of formal photos/measurements. They were beachcombing on Assateague Island in MD, which isn't very fossiliferous on the surface from my understanding; even so, I told them I'd reach out to see if any of the three objects below are anything unusual. Thanks!- 3 replies

Crystallized bone found in northeast central Texas driveway. Anyone know what it was? I find the lobar look, striations, and the small circular structures ringing the edge of the ?bone interesting. I included the picture of the proximal and distal picture to show they can be seen going all the way thru the fossil. Please educate me about this baby. Thanks.

The curves within it have me confused. If so, is there a name for the type of petrified wood it is? The size is approx. 10" x 12" x 6".

I found quite a few of these at Alligator Point, Florida during low tide the day after Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure one is a Florida Quahog, but no clue on the other. Ice chest ruler for measurement. Any idea on them age wise? There was a large grouping of them in a tight area so I'm inclined to believe that they are eroding out of the substrate there. Thank you for your assistance!

Not sure why my thread was moved as I do want to know wether I have fossils in here, but I'm not too fussed about it. Instead of doing something productive, I went outside and (with permission from the principal) gathered lots of rocks from around the school. I only took one angle for most of them, but if you'd like more angles or a zoomed picture, I can do that, just mention the number of the picture. I also have to add measurements, but I'll do so when I have some time. #1. I'm going with the assumption that this is a manganese oxide pseudofossil, but it does vaguely resemble an egg, especially with the two thin 'shells' at the bottom. It's unnaturally flat on one side, no clue why. #2. Not much here, but still worth a glance in case I missed something. #3. The streaks are interesting. #4. Indentations and streaks #5. & #6. Both have this blurry, oval shaped creature with a triangular 'head' complete with two 'eyes'. It's more obvious on the second one, but the first one is actually larger. #7. Streaks #8. The white vein of crystal appears to be very 2-D

This was found in Mineral Wells fossil park in North Texas. It's a huge borrow pit that's easily 20 feet deep in some spaces, with everything gathered down at the bottom. Most of the things inside are crinoids and brachiopods, with the rare trilobite. I wouldn't expect to find a bone from anything in there, but this really looks like something to me. It's about 4cm long, and it feels like a pretty standard rock. The reddish-brown areas are smoother and slightly concave, and it looks to me like this was broken off of something. There's also an area on the back side where the same reddish-brown color is showing through just slightly, in a small ring about 1cm across that more or less lines up with the center space on the other side. I'd try to clear off some of what looks like matrix, but it's very hard, and I don't have the tools to deal with it. Any ideas?

Hey folks, I love the internet. I had no idea there were people out there I could just ASK what my friend found! I thought I'd always have to wonder. I'm not in the same place as the fossil anymore, so I'm sorry that all I have for scale is my hand and a phone in the background of the photos. (I didn't know that was bad for scale until it wasn't in my possession anymore -- the fossil, not my hand.) I know my friend found this "neat rock" (fossil) on an active gold mine in Canada's Yukon, and that there were reports of Mammoth fossils found along the same line of claims... but never having been this close to an actual bone fossil before, I had no idea if this is an old cow bone, or that of something more interesting. I tried to load as many photos as I could so you could see it from different angles. I ask if it's mammoth or bovine only because with my luck, I'm hopeful it's a mammoth, but with my luck, it's a cow or a ox or something. I actually have no idea what kind of bone it is... it could be from anything at all. If anyone has any ideas of what it could be from, that'd be great. Unfortunately, it was on a 'worked' part of the claim, so the land had all be disturbed around it so this piece was all by its lonesome so there's not really any 'context' I can share other than that the miner seemed fairly happy with the claim site. I appreciate any help (even ideas of what part of the body it could be?) many thanks, kk
