Found this in Raleigh County, in WV along Route 121 (Coalfields Expressway) in a road cut in Pennsylvanian shale.

Found these on a gravel bar in Eastern Ks. and I don't know if anyone can id them but I figured it was worth a shot. I have done my own research and with fish verts they seem to all look VERY similar, thank you all for your help! @hemipristis could you help with these? Thank you!

I found these bones (and tooth) in very close proximity today, in a creek where I have hardly ever found dolphin fossils, leading me to believe they are associated. Any idea what species this is? Found in the Cypress Head formation, Middleburg, Fl. @Shellseeker?

Are these Spinosaurus vertebrae real?
Satoshi posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! I am not very knowledgeable about fossils and I am having trouble. I need your help. Do you think this fossil is real?

Hi. I found this vertebrae some years ago on Lyme Regis beach U.K. I have long believed it to belong to an ichthyosaur but I would just like some clarification as it is wider, larger (though I understand it is tiny in comparison to some,) better preserved and also a different colour to others I have found in the same place.

I'm hoping someone out there might be able to ID these vertebrae for me. I'm fairly certain they're mosasaur of some type, but I'm not very familiar with this vertebrate stuff. I'm thinking the other bone is part of a paddle. I found these in the Pierre shale of South Dakota on private property with permission.

Fossil centrum anatomical location and possibly species ID
floridafossiljoel posted a topic in Fossil ID
Any idea what part of the spinal column this centrum is from? I found it in Charlie Creek, offshoot of the Peace River in SW Florida. So it's probably pliocene or pleistocene in origin. The paper in the photo is 2 inches for size comparison. It is not worn, and any unusual texture is I believe from degenerative changes in the animal before fossilization - because when you look close it is all well defined. It is very round for thoracic or lumbar, and doesn't have the classic ventral process of a cervical vert. It does appear to have parallel crests along the bottom. It is also a very strange angle, not boxy like lumbar or thoracic should be. Any idea what location on the spine this is from? Then, any idea what animal this could be?

Found this recently in glacial till material in E Kansas. What I find unusual is the rather thick neural process- I’ve personally never seen anything like it. Any ideas, suggestions, or corrections are greatly appreciated; I’m trying to learn more about iding vertebrae. Measurements in cm/mm As always thank you everyone!

Found This on Beach, San Pedro California: What is it and how old is it?
History Hunter posted a topic in Fossil ID
I’m grateful to have found this forum, and am new to this hobby. My son and I have dug shark teeth and trilobites, but we found this near Long Beach CA on the shore at San Pedro. Any ideas of what it is, and how old it is? I first thought it was a whale vertebrae column, but now I’m not so sure. It measures APPROXIMATELY 20 inches in overall diameter. Also, I’m we are collectors and not interested in selling it, but it’d be cool to know if we found a valuable treasure or not (it is to us), so if anybody has an idea of actual monetary value, I’d love to know. Thanks in advance!

Howdy! My dad got lucky in a road cut that I *think* is Upper Glen Rose near Bandera, TX. Would love help IDing the vertebrae. Found among Porocytis, Heteraster, Hemiaster, DeerHearts, Tylostoma, etc. Thank you in advance!

Any advice to extract a fossilized vertebra that is under 6mm?
The_Wanderer posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Do y’all have any advice y’all could give me to extract a fossilized vertebrae bone that is under 6mm without damaging? like tools, extraction techniques, preservation of it, and identification of it. context: So, I am new at this and I don’t really know what to get or do to extract it. The fossil is small like very small around as small as fire ants, like maybe on the bigger side of fire ants. I don’t have any close up and clear photos of it right now, but the measurements is accurate, and I will add a quick sketch of what it roughly looks like.

Hello all, I posted a tooth yesterday that you kindly identified for me, and I have a few more fossils that I found that I would really appreciate an identification on. All found on Zandmotor beach, The Netherlands. There are four specimens: 1 A bone with a hole in the middle, seems like a vertebrae(??). Any idea what fragment it really is and maybe what kind of animal it came from? Length: 2.5 cm 2 A bone that I would also like any information about, although it might be really hard to identify. - 4 cm 3 Small, flatter bone. - 4.5 cm 4 Are these petrified wood by any chance? They do feel like a rock and also sound like such when I gently hit them with another rock. There are 3 pieces in total that I have shared. - around 6 cm.

Hi guys my names Conley. My kids and I live in SE Colorado and have been digging and finding sharks teeth and various other fossils. Since we started looking 4 years ago we have found 300 teeth in a 1 acre spot. Some of the other fossils we have found we are not real sure what they have came from.

I believe this is also part of a Mosasaur, but unlike the 100 other vertebrae I have, this one is concave on both ends. All of the other are convex on one end and concave on the other. It does not appear to have been broken off on either end. The piece appears agatized all over which would suggest that it was not broken )at least to me) If this is from a mosasaur, is it a vertebrae, or some other part of the animal?

I believe these to be fish vertebrae, they were found on the north sulphur river near Ladonia, TX at various times. I'm curious if anyone may have a thought about what type of fish these might have belonged to, (I know that is a stretch) and if in fact they are fish vertebrae? Also I have several chunks of these like the piece on the right. I'm not sure what the substance is that they are matrixed in. I'm curious does anyone know what the concretion is made of, and is there a way to remove it without damaging the underlying fossil? Thanks again for your time.

I'm fairly certain this is a mosasaur vertebrae. Found on the north Sulphur River near Ladonia, TX. Like most items found there, there is some damage caused by tumbling down stream.

Hello, all. I browsing online on online auction site and came across these “Mosasaur vertebrae.” They are in a set, and are fairly expensive to me, as I only get pocket money. I was clarifying to see as to whether they are real. They have been around a bit, so I am not sure as to whether that is a bad sign or not. I can upload more images if needed.
