Proboscidean from Southern MN gravel pit on Minnesota river. Mammoth or Mastodon? The acetabulum (socket) is approximately 7" in diameter. Sorry for lack of scale

Was wondering which plesiosaur species it might come from. Pierre shale sd 2ft by 2ft. It was broken before fossilizing also encrusted in crystals. Some parts are only .5in thin. Wasn't sure if it was worth picking up. It's a complete rear pelvis. Found verts and other leg bones by it. It was facing up like in photo. But not sure which side is which when it was alive. Bottom point is where it attaches to leg. The bottom of the nob on the left also looks like it was attached to something. As it shows cartilage remains. Maybe it attached to other side pelvis? I tried using this page to id it.

Howdy everyone! I found this on a beach in South Carolina and obviously I have no idea what this little guy is, but it looks like a miniature pelvis haha! If anyone has an idea as to what this is, I'd love to get an expert's opinion! Thanks in advance for any help!

Found in Pierre shale SD wash out. I think is a mosasaur pubis bone but not sure. Image of pelvis girdle. https://www.alamy.com/bulletin-natural-history-98-peabody-museum-bulletin-23-text-fig-56-lateral-view-of-pelvic-girdle-of-mosasaurus-conodon-usnm-11396-x-about-i4-with-the-elements-in-natural-articulation-abbreviations-il-ilium-is-ischium-ist-ischiadic-tubercle-obt-obturator-foramen-pu-pubis-put-pubic-tubercle-are-apparent-the-beveled-edges-of-their-symphyseal-shafts-indicate-that-the-ischia-and-pubes-of-opposite-sides-met-on-the-ventral-midline-of-the-body-with-a-relatively-minor-amount-of-intervening-cartilage-and-were-oriented-in-a-trans-verse-plane-at-an-angle-of-about-30-to-the-hori-image234185362.html

Hi all, I have a mostly intact pelvic bone of a large camel species. Unfortunately, it was found just and inch or two below the surface in a quite soft sandstone that was mostly sand. As a result the side closest to the surface is in quite poor shape, especially near the obturator foramina. I have used paraloid B-72 throughout the prep to give some strength to the bone and some superglue in the larger cracks, but as I have removed most the matrix, this is quite the fragile piece. Any suggestions on how best I can proceed? I know paraloid isn’t best for heavy weight and I don’t want to paint superglue all over it-unless that’s what’s needed.

15th visit to big brook today. Did pretty well finding shark teeth and have a small very which I will post. Found another rib and leg bone which I presume to be deer. But this was my best find of the day. Looks like a pelvis but couldn’t find a match. Assume modern from the nasty cuts. 3 inches by 2.5 inches. Thank you

I was hunting with a friend in an area that produces more late miocene fossils than Pleistocene fossils. But this is Florida and we have a lot of modern cows. Nothing to say that a random bone from the halocene did not slipped in here. My friend has a lot of history in Florida miocene fossils, having worked in the Bone Valley Phosphate mines for 30 years. During those years, he had found extensive large mammal fossils. He tossed this bone to me and said he thinks it is Rhino. I am looking to validate or disprove.

I haven't been able to place it, yet. I figure if I come across someone has familiar knowledge of bones like that, there's a much better chance of recognizing it, than someone just using pics and stuff.

Hello! I have found this bone along the road near a creek after a flood in Lancaster County, PA. I think it is a pelvis bone, but not sure from who. It is 15 inches across. Thank you for any help.

I'm having a hard time finding any images of anything other than the outside/side view of a spinosaur pelvic bone. I'm trying to see what the bone looks like in general, but all too many times...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many times I'll spend forever unsuccessfully trying to come across pictures, images, or diagrams that show what a bone looks like from other angles than what you see be looking at the skeleton from generic angles, like this one. In some cases it's not TOO difficult, but even those common bones have areas that you can never see, unless you get totally lucky and happen across it, OR if there's maybe, hopefully some site/database that specifically shows what entire bones look like. I doubt that, but I know there's perfect diagrams floating around on the web, but I can't seem to find any *im just talking about dinos and other extinct animal bones. I'm sure there's plenty of sites with images of every conceivable angle of every bone from humans and common living animals, but I'm not looking for that kind of thing.

Hello. While vacationing along Lake Huron in Michigan, I found a rather impressive, and likely rare, fossil (see image). It is clearly a vertebrate with skull, spine, appendages, and pelvic region relatively intact and clearly visible. The specimen is approximately 2 inches by 2 inches in size. Any advice or direction, as to whom I should contact to identify/analyze my find would be most appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

I just found this washed up. It smells an off fishy meaty type of smell. Its frehsh, pliable, so Im guessing carteledge. The holes on each side match, so its got two arms, legs, fins or flippers. Im thinking pelvis of some kind, but no matches. Any ideas? Im leaning toward turtle or seal, but no matches there. It may be part of Loch Ness Monster. Is it the front end or the back end? If its the back end, I wouldnt want to be eatean by it.

Hello, I've been on the look for stegosaur fossils for a while. I found this on an auction site. I've no real information on it other than it was found in the Morrison and is supposedly a stegosaurus ischium.

Can someone provide a clear dorsal and lateral picture of the os coxae (complete structure) of Bison bison and of an American domestic dairy cattle (say Jersey or equivalent)? Just want to see a good comparison. Many thanks!

Hi new member here... trying to ID this bone I found. I actually caught it fishing in the Mississippi river in St. Paul MN. No idea how old it is or what it came from. I've got some nice pictures though! Thanks for any help I can get.
