Hi there! I’m working on a project and I’m having trouble ID-ing this specimen. I wanted to ask if anyone can identify this bivalve? It is from the Nashua Formation in northern Florida. This specimen is slightly larger than 5mm x 5mm Any assistance, even a family or sub family is appreciated!

Found these 2 matching partial bones in the same location. I’m confident they are bones, but unsure of their origin. This site is known for Pleistocene fossils. Savannah, GA. Savannah River. Shark Tooth Island.

Found this unique looking bone but can’t pinpoint an ID. I’ve seen similar bones on pictures of Giant Ground Sloths but the back of the one I have isn’t quite as curved. I’m definitely thinking it’s a part of a finger or toe.

I found this toe bone (3rd phalanx) in North Dakota along a beach ridge of glacial Lake Agassiz. At first I thought it was from a large bison. But after looking at several bison skeletons, including a Latifrons, I don't believe it could be any variant of Bison. It is just too big, and the shape is different. I have added for reference in the first picture, a 3rd phalanx from a known modern bison to show the difference. It appears to be fossilized and is from a location where I have found numerous fossilized bison bones, teeth, and petrified wood. Going through Ice Age megafauna, the one animal I am suspicious of is the extinct elk, Cervalces Scotti. But they are very rare and I have yet to find a good close picture of this area of the animal.

This was found on the Missouri River. It doesn’t look like anything els in my collection. Maybe it’s a baby pronghorn or a domesticated goat?

Can anyone tell me if these skulls are modern or ice age horses? They were both found in a river in western Iowa.

Hi pretty sure this is fossil whale cetacean bone, found near Newport Beach California. Was looking for a second opinion. Also could I clean these pieces up with a soak in vinegar?

Found this in Northumberland, United Kingdom in a river. Not sure at all if it’s fossilised? Quick google searches brought up possible Bison Tooth (search said UK had Bison 6,000 - 10,000 years ago) other searches say possible horse tooth? It’s quite heavy and very solid. It’s measuring 6.5cm in length.

I found this lower right jaw bone exposed on the bed of a creek in north central florida. It appears to be from an extinct canine species, but I am unsure and figured someone on here probably has more knowledge than I do on what it could be. Measurements are 7 cm in height at the tallest point, almost 15 cm in length, and 1 cm in thickness. There is one molar missing, and the incisors at the front are missing as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please help me id these teeth found in alachua county fl on private property with permission from the owner. Are these all different species of horse? Thank every one very much.

Hi everyone! I think this is a white tail deer tibia but the proximal end looks off to me. Maybe it's just the pictures I was comparing it to. It measures 6 inches (about 15 cm). Any feedback is appreciated as always!

After a 3 month dedicated search (coughSisyphean) to figure this out on my own, I still can’t find anything that remotely looks like this. I’m a longtime SE LA/SW MS creek gravel rockhounder and I’ve never come across this before. I’ve shown it to some other area collectors-no luck. This was found in a creek running through the upper terraces of the (pre-loess) La Citronelle formation not far from the Amite County, MS border. *I should also mention that Louisiana gravels within the (Plio) Citronelle contain much older rocks/fossils that are believed to have been transported by glaciers, as well as ancient interbraided streams. Frequent flooding subsequently washes these out of the upper terraces. To my eye, though, this piece doesn’t appear to be rounded or very worn. If I had to call it, I’d say table coral/freed piece of reef, but that one side having the appearance of muscle attachment grooves has me wondering about that. I greatly appreciate your time and opinions; thanks for giving this an eyeballing for me.

Hi, what is the identification of this fossil in my collection. It seems like a very good specimen.
-
From the Meherrin River in NE North Csrolina. Local geology and preservation suffuse Plio-Pleistocene. I've eliminated tuna, grouper, wahoo, seabass, drum, sturgeon and tarpon. Im out of ideas. Thoughts?
