I found this on a recent hike in a creek bed. This is a raised impression and is shaped like a carrot. Does anyone know what this is? Is it a fossil of something? Thanks in advance.- 9 replies

So I came across this canine on the internet. And in the comments it was being debated by the seller as a Dire Wolf canine, but multiple reactions said it's a bear canine. So I thought it might be interesting to post it here and know what it actually is. Florida find, 2'28 inch

For a friend of mine. ID'd as a partial fish skull. Found in the KemKem beds. Honestly no idea what it actually is. So give it a shot here.

Came across this Vert from the KemKem region. Looks like a regular croc or crocodylomorph vertebrae to me, apparently he is very convinced it's a "deltadromeus" vert. Anyone that can help clear this up

Hi all, So - disclaimer. Feel free to giggle as you read. Was outside in the yard and finally decided to see how big this rock was that has been peeking out of the surface for decades. Little did I expect it quickly became a ball shaped rock almost a foot and a half in diameter likely weighing over 200 - 300 pounds as the sucker isn't budging. My question is: Is this identifiable as anything specific other than "general rock" such as a mineral or whatnot? To me a rock is a rock but I've seen people here ID some amazing things so figured I'd throw the rock in your court. Last pic is wet for coloring - has a reddish hue

Recently got this partial theropod tooth, found in Niger, Gadoufaoua. Likely a Eocarcharia Dinops tooth. If anyone can help me confirm this species, that would be amazing!

Hello all! Like my other finds, this was found in northeastern Nebraska in a creek that runs through both the valentine and ash hollow formations, which are Miocene, as well as some Pleistocene rock. I’m stumped on this one- some animals pieces I’ve found in the creek include bison, rhino, tortoise, horse…but the modern cow gets thrown in there a lot. This is fairly mineralized… anyone have any idea?

While doing yard work, this rock caught my eye because it looked like it had fresh blood on it. I cleaned it up a bit, but there are about 5 or 6 holes with dark red dirt coming out of them. Could this be an egg? Thanks.

I found this at low tide on Manasota Key, Florida. We've collected shark teeth and other small fossils here for years, but this is a mystery for us! When we first picked it up at the high water line, it was black, but dried to a lighter gray over the course of a week. I asked locals and got guesses from a tortoise shell (it seems too thick?) to a megladon tooth (the v in the center is pointing the wrong direction, I think). The pictures are FRONT - Height & Width (with ruler), BACK view (no ruler), right edge showing holes and front , left side (with ruler) showing thickness. The gray color is accurate, the brown color is not- I used a flash on those photos to show the ruler.

Found this on a walk beside the river. Dimension of the entire rock is about 25cm x 15cm x 5cm (thickness). I noticed what appears to be small bone fragments (circled in 2nd picture), however I have no experience with fossils so I'm sure if it's just a weird looking rock. Any clues?

Searching the gravel driveway for a missing piece of a telescope (at night...), I pocketed an odd rock. In the light of day it looked to me like it could be a tooth. I'm located in McLeod Co., Minnesota, not at all known for fossils, but the glaciers have brought us a few surprises that show up from time to time. Fossil Forum members helped me ID a piece of petrified wood from the same gravel drive 2 weeks ago. Or maybe it's just a rock. It has several cracks or grooves that run most of the way from the potential "crown" to the "root." Thoughts? BTW, that's a marshmallow I used to stabilize the rock to display the possible "crown" and "root." Later I ate the marshmallow.

I'm new to all this, and was wondering if you folks can help me. I noticed this lying in a small creek bed in Berks County, PA. Didn't find anything else like it. Is it a fossil of some kind, or just a rock? Thanks!

Several of these are imbedded in the sandstone on the shore of a man made lake on the Missouri River. They are of varying size but fairly consistent shape. They are generally half-exposed as this one was. Any ideas?
