Location is kem kem beds, seller said less than 5% restoration. I know nothing about claws but this one almost looks too good to be true and too perfect but I’m not sure how to definitively tell if it’s real or fake

Hey everybody I've been deep diving into this forum for the past couple weeks while restoring this fossil. I found it in the Hell Creek Formation by the Powder River in Montana, on my brother's ranch. It was in the side wall of a run off creek bed. There were no other obvious fossils around it, but the wall was crumbling, so it could have washed downstream. The circumference of the main shaft is 20cm while the circumference of the head is 38cm and the length of the fossil is 40cm. I am not very familiar with dinosaurs, but it looks to me like it could possibly be the humerus or the femur of something. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

So awhile back I picked up a rock at a creek and their was all these tiny little white ball looking things stuck to it and I wondered what they were, some were broken open and I figured they might be eggs of some kind. Well I found another rock the other day that had the same white things on it but also in this eroded part of the rock were several tiny little snails and a bunch of these little white things, so now I figured they must be eggs of the snails and I put it in a bucket and brought it home. When I got home I got to looking at the rock and none of the snails had moved, I wondered after awhile of the rock sitting on shelf if the snails were even alive? I got my 25x eye piece out and took a better look and they are covered with the same stuff that makes up the rock it looks like......so my question is are these snails fossils and are these pretty common to find like this if they are? This isn't the same rock but similar with the snails, I'll put pic of the other one with the white balls on it if y'all want to see it because I'll have to dig it out from a bucket of rocks. Southwest Missouri is where I found them also

I like DSR. It's peaceful and quite. You get a nice little view. Over all a good spot. I have however been unsuccessful with finding an intact Dipleura! The detail that can been seen on them is fantastic. What amazing little monsters. A quick way to-be driven nuts. I know fossil hunting is a mix of: skill, knowledge, luck and time BUT gosh darn! I will keep trying. This is what I have to show for my effort so far.

Hi! I have always been interested in natural history and paleontology, but never really considered collecting (or perusing an education) until very recently. I'm shy and don't really know what to say but it would be nice to know some people who are interested in the same things.

My daughter found this in a creek bed near Brighton Missouri. http://goo.gl/Juxvo I apologize if this is nothing. I am an utter noob at this.

Hi all, Just found this site while searching for places near home (Ottawa Canada) where I might be able to bring my kids to see some fossils in the field. They are still pretty young so I'm not looking for any long distance adventures yet Any tips, cautions or no-nos would be appreciated! Thanks Andrew

Hey all! So glad I found this site! I am really amatuer, and would appreciate any help or tips. I live in the Los Angeles area, and really could use some direction. I have a post in the California section, so if you know any good places, please let me know there! Thanks!
