    Help with Fossil ID

    Hi All, I'm well out of my wheelhouse with these, both in anatomy and any type of ID. These came out of a collection, and I unfortunately have no information on their origin. Each photo set show what was found in two separate specimen containers (old prescription pill bottles). Contents of each bottle seem to be associated. Hoping for an ID, or at least a general direction. Someone may even recognize the formation based on the coloring of contents of the first container. Thanks in advance! Container 1 - Those appear to be claws or talons of some sort? Tried comparing to various small animals, saw some similarities, but nothing definitive. The white coloring is giving me mid-west vibes?
  2. Hi. I bought this Mosasaur tooth about 8 years ago, and never tried to find out what it is. (I was too young) I was thinking probably Beaugei but I am unsure. The one thing that makes me sceptical is the fact that it appears quite small. Could it potentially be a juvenile?(Sorry for using the carpet as a backdrop, if that doesn’t work.)
  3. Here are a few molars that I’m stumped on. They were all found In NE corner of Kansas in some Permian (edit: not Permian) glacial drift material. Molar #1: Going through @Harry Pristis’s album, to me this one resembles Tapir, but I am doubtful Molar #2 I have no ideas on this one, initially guessed peccary but I think that is incorrect Molar #3 This one has some of the root, although some of the top surface has been broken Thank you to everyone in advance! I try to ID our fossils myself, but these I can’t seem to figure these out. Have a great day everyone

    Oklahoma fossil I.d. help

    I have a few more here that I have been dying to ask someone about. I have a large collection from a person who was employed as a surveyor and that's about all I know as a certain. I usually start by taking pictures and asking Google but since that fails most of the time when it comes to the more obscure objects I am at a total loss, and so here I am. Thank you for your time and patience! To cut down on the number of posts Im making I have grouped a couple sets together in this one. In the first group they are both very small but the third piece in the first group is tiny and Im not sure if there's enough there for a proper I.D. And then the second group I feel like have the same amount of obscurity and so were similar enough to me. Any information at all would be great. I'm of the belief these are all from Oklahoma but I don't know what part of the state. Also I cannot find a tape that is in mm so I hope that inches are ok!? After taking these pictures Im just hoping that there's enough there for me to be asking about. 🫣

    Fossil Identification

    A friend of mine asked me to identify this fossil and I'm not sure what it is. She doesn't remember where she found it but the general location is southern Illinois, could've been found max 45 minutes out from Maryville, IL.

    Three tiny beauties

    "Wie het kleine niet eert, is het grote niet weerd!" goes the Dutch saying (who does not appreciate the small, isn't worthy of the big). Three small fossils, any help with the ID's? The brown one looks like a bulla to me, from a dolphin maybe? No idea about the other two. All found on the Dutch coast, on the same location. Mammal bones on this location are from the pleistocene and holocene, shark teeth and bones from fish and sea mammals (dolphins and whales mostly) are from the eocene-pliocene.
  8. Hello, A pair of curious eggs from China. 3 inches long, oval shaped. I thought they may be Segnosaur or Therizinosaur, but their eggs are rounder. A small species of hadrosaur, or maybe crocodile? The shell is very thin. The holes in them were caused by chisels during excavation, so they are damaged. But on the plus side, the damage does show how thin the shell is. Would any thoughts.

    White River Badlands skull

    Last ID needed…for now! small skull, split lower jaw, small back teeth. 60mm long, 35mm across ridge down center of the skull. any help with identification will be greatly appreciated.
  10. I've noticed a lot of cool cabinets on the forum, but they tend to share one common trait: they're typically used for large, easy-to-view fossils. In contrast, my fossil display is designed to display smaller fossils from my collection. It is a simple table, accompanied by a magnifying glass with lighting allowing the specimens to be examined closely. We acquired this table some time ago, with the original intention of using it to display the treasured beach vacation memories we have collected over the years. My wife graciously allowed me to reuse part of it to display part of my fossil collection.
  11. I bought it recently at a shop for a low price, I was wondering whether it was legitimate because no location was given and it looked way too detailed for how cheap it was.
  12. Hey everybody, i'm new in this forum, and i started collect fossil no so long, and i need your help. Do you think that is a fossil? Or a rock? Thank you in advance!
  13. Hi all As you probably know I have really been interested lately in macro photography. Let’s see any of your wonderful fossil adventures in close up. Today I found this little beauty a shark tooth (I have not ID it yet but it could be Negaprion lemon shark tooth) form Rattlesnake Creek micro matrix I was sent. It is only about 3mm but a Bobby dazzler. Looking forward to seeing some of your very interesting pictures.

    Small recent skull found

    Hi everyone, Today I was working in the garden and found a small, recent skull. I tried to identity it but after an hour scrolling through skulls I gave up. I think that it most resembles to a rat skull but this one is shorter and has a wider top part. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

    Ammonite suture?

    Hey there, so I went to Ramanessin Brook a few days ago and found this. It has a reciprocating ridge pattern, so I was wondering if that is an ammonite. Can someone help me id it? Thanks

    Having Trouble with this ID

    Another find from earlier this week that I can't seem to nail down an ID for. When I first pulled it out of the Peace River I thought it was a distal or medial phalanx. It is very small and I just dropped it into my pouch and continued hunting. Once I got home and sorted through the day's finds I still thought some type of toe bone and started my search with that in mind. After several hours I came across an image of a larger fossil bone that looked like a match. It was a patella. I realized that patella was a much more likely ID. My problem now is - what species would have a patella so small. Tapir is too big. I started thinking bobcat? raccoon? Haven't been able to find measurements to allow me to zero in on what this bone belongs to. So, I am turning to the group for help. Measurements: 20mm x 15mm x 14mm or 7/8" x 5/8" x 1/2" (the ruler in the photos is metric) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ramanessin brook find ID

    Hi there. I found this small black object in Ramanessin brook that I suspect is a fossil, but I cannot identify it. It has a small ridge that forms when the two sides converge. It has many rings patterns that form from the point to the broken end, covering most of the specimen. The broken end appears to have a small hole in the center, which made me thought it was from a belemnite, but no belemnites I have ever found looked like that. The dark parts of the specimen not covered by dirt gives of a shine when I point a flashlight at it not unlike fossilized matter. I would appreciate it if someone can figure out what it is, thanks for looking. Marco

    Fossil ID

    Found in my customers yard with several others I have not cleaned but will add later. This one is just too interesting. I tried to look online but couldn't find anything. I even used Google lens but still wasn't able to get anywhere Thx in advance for help Sara
  19. Size like tip of a finger, 34 x 22 x 14 mm. 11 discs, one a bit skewed. Found it approx 30 years ago, been wondering about it ever since. It was found in gravel delivered for a driveway. I have no idea from where. Any suggestions what it is?

    Help with Tooth ID

    Found this small tooth last week while hunting the Peace River. Almost missed it in the sieve and initially thought it was just a chip of something. On getting it home and giving a closer look I became convinced it is a tooth. Maybe an incisor. After a lot of searching on line the closest I could come up with is horse incisor. Only I think it is way too small for that. The chewing surface appears more jagged and uneven then I would expect from a herbivore. The groove along the length of the tooth and its curvature are similar to what I have found on horse incisors. Measurements - Inches = 3/4"L x 3/8"W x 1/4"H CM =. 20mm L x 10mm W x 6mm H @Shellseeker, Jack - I would appreciate your input knowing how much time and effort you put into finding the small 3-toed horse fossils. Thanks, Jim W.
  21. From the album: Missouri Trilobites

    These last few months have been very generous with its fossil output so far. This specimen's head is about 7.5mm long and is what I consider to be very rare. I have only ever found 2 heads in the upper Winterset limestone. In the future, I plan to clean it up a bit, but for now, he stands with his glabella exposed.

    Big Brook Fossil ID

    Hello again, I have two more specimens that I cannot ID. I suspect the long yellowish rod is a belemnite, but it looks odd. It has a hole on hole side, but no hole on the second side. The small tooth like object is small and is not hollow, could it be a Saber toothed salmon tooth? Thanks, Marco

    Big Brook find

    Hello again, this time I found this fossil encased in rock or sediment in Big Brook. Unfortunately the rock is quite solid and I can't remove it. The fossil seems shell-like. Would appreciate a lot if someone could figure what it is. Also any ideas on how to remove the rock, would acid etching work?
