Here are a few pieces of Peace River Florida fossils that were included in some Shark teeth I bought online, one I thing is a Tilly bone? And the small vert is it fish or snake?

Here is a couple of fossils I’ve found on the coast of South Carolina, I’m really really sorry I couldn’t use a ruler with cm I’m on vacation and this is the best I’ve got! Please tell me if I should post pics of individual fossils as well. D E F and G all look like vertebrae to me, H looks kinda like a piece of a turtle shell, but I’m not very good at Identifying these sorts of things! Again tell me if I need to take different pics!

My Aunt recently found this fossil vertabrae in the marsh/beach area in Brunswick GA. Can you help me identify what animal it came from? Thanks.

Hi,is there anyone on here know about opalised fossils. Thanks. Maxx

From what two of my friend have said, this is most likely a mosasaur vertebrae. To get specific maybe a mosasaur terminal vertebrae. I’m still not totally sure though so if I could get some help on the ID I would appreciate it!

I’ve been finding some interesting pieces on the beaches of NE Florida. New to the area and wasn’t really targeting anything in particular but found a piece of bone and now I’m a bit hooked. Here are a few items. The encased shark tooth is particularly interesting. The white, circular bone may be modern. Not certain about what appears to be a shark vertebrae (center top). Posted the “stem” in the ID forum.

Hello new friends, My family just returned from a trip to Edisto Beach South Carolina, USA. We were walking the beach between Jeremy's Cay and the Pavilion looking for shells and shark's teeth when we almost tripped over this specimen. Based on image searches, it appears to be an atlas vertebrae possibly from a Bison. I am interested in a proper ID and learning as much as I can about it. I am attaching images, but if you need more information or better images, please let me know. I really appreciate any help you can give.

A lot going on with this one. The honeycomb structure as well as what appears to be the head and spine of some type of small creature. It measures 10.5” in length.

Hi everyone bought a decent size box of inexpensive kem kem bone pieces any help with these would be great I’m guessing the jawbone are more than likely croc same as the verts

There is a hill in south central Mississippi that is apparently constructed entirely of fossilized shells and "rocks" (bones) like this one. Can anyone help me learn more about this particular speciman? I have a good number of the shells also. Thanks! DCook

I found this in a creek fossil hunting and I can not identify it, and cannot find it on the internet. If someone could identify that would be great.

Hello everyone, First time posting here so sorry if I mess this up or offend anyone for a newbie asking for some ID help. On a recent trip to some of our Northern New Jersey spots, I’ve come across two things I have never found before and one vertebrae that I was hoping someone could maybe point me in a direction towards. All from Holmdel area. Images 1 and 2 is possibly coprolite? Has small “shell like” crust to it in some spots. 3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 is a small tooth in a piece of jaw bone or a claw piece possibly? Last four is the vert found. Roughly the size of a quarter. Never have found one this size. Not complete but any ideas? Thanks so much in advance! Jeff Kiger

Really need help identifying these

I was very fortunate to obtain some loose matrix and chunks of matrix that I need to break down. I really have only been working on the loose matrix so far. It has not m.uch but has been extremely productive with amazing teeth. This is the first time I have gone through matrix from this area and the colors are amazing. The matrix is absolutely loaded with so much great stuff. Most of the items I have found so far are firsts for me. Enjoy the pics! @JBMugu I have barely scratched the survive with the big chucks of matrix but these two verts came out of it. They cleaned up nice! My first whale vert 1.5 inches. .75 inch shark vert Cow Shark Angel Shark Dog Shark

We recently were able to take a trip to the Miocene of Virginia along the Potomac River. We weren't sure what the conditions would be, as the last time we were here the tide was extremely high limiting the length of the beach and how much was accessible. When we got to the beach we could tell it would be a good day, the tide was pretty low with still a couple hours to go before low tide, and we could see long stretches of beach in both directions. As we walked I wasn't having to much luck, but my wife who trailed behind me was finding some good sized hastalis teeth that I had missed. Once we got to a better section of the beach with cobble and larger rocks, we really started to take our time searching. In about ankle deep water I looked down and spotted a 4 7/8 inch halved meg, I couldn't believe it! By far the biggest and most complete meg I had ever found up to this point (Previously have only found very worn bits and pieces of megs). We kept searching and stopped to talk for a bit and when I looked down I saw another very worn meg sticking almost fully out of some fallen clay matrix. We were both happy with the day so far! Between two partial megs and a good number of hemi's and nice hastalis, it was definitely one of our more productive days. We reached the end of the accessible beach and decided to head back. On the way back, I was searching up along the higher parts of the shore and saw a small clay block with some black sticking out and picked it up. Looking at it I thought it was just some lignite, but decided to look a bit closer. I picked at it a bit and it ended up being a meg! My first complete and whole meg, I was extremely happy with the find and could finally check that off my list. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better day weather or finds wise. For teeth we ended up with a good haul of hastalis, hemis, two partial and one whole megs, and a retroflexus.The plate pictured has on it a whale vert, epiphysis, and various shark or fish verts,

Looking for ideas as to what these once were? They were found among others in the same area. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.

I found this fossil in Santa Cruz and don’t know what part of whale this is. Thank you all so much. The photos are the one I’m not so sure about.

Hi, I purchased this unprepared, and was wondering what type of animal it came from? It’s from the lance fm, @jpc @Troodon@hadrosauridae, work your magic, please!

My son and I were taking advantage of the north westerly winds blowing the water out of the Neuse River and exposing more shoreline. My 7 year old found the lighter colored tooth and I found the darker (black) teeth all within 18” of each other along with the other fossilized bones. May 8th, 2020. I just signed up for this forum and would like to send more photos of the other bones.

Hello everyone, I’m new so I hope I do this right! I recently got some new fossils and among them were two interesting pieces. One was an unidentified bone which when I saw I immediately thought it looked like a Vertabrae. I’m no expert but it has the shape of one with the neural canal clearly there, however I could be wrong. It certainly doesn’t feel like stone so I don’t think it has been fossilised although again, I’m no expert. I don’t expect anyone to be able to work out the exact species from this, but maybe just a better idea on if I’m right about the type of bone and maybe the type of animal it came from, I’d guess some kind of mammal. The other fossil was a set of jaws in stone. It looks like a composite. My initial thought was Mosasaur but not 100% sure. i was not present when these fossils were purchased as they were bought as gifts for me in my absence, so the location of where they were found is unknown to me, which I’m sure will make IDing these difficult, so I apologise. Any help whatsoever is appreciated. Thank you! (The ruler used here is 15cm in length)

What do you guys think? Apparently from Oued Zem, Morocco.
