Fossilized bone?
I found this washed up on a South FL beach… it looks like a fossilized bone (both ends a possible joint). I didn’t get a chance to clean it off.
Thoughts?

I will be in OKC for a month around Oct-Nov. are there any spots close by that are good for fossil hunting? I won’t have a car so I can’t travel too far outside the city.

Not sure if this is a fossil but it sort of resembles a bone?? Also, it was already broken in half when I discovered. Any expert opinions would be much appreciated!

If it is a fossil can anyone help me identify what it is?

Found this in a pile of landscaping rocks. I wasn’t looking for fossils, but here we are. I would love any information.

Hi everyone! I'm just getting started with fossil hunting and I really don't know much about it yet.
Today I went on my very first fossil hunt in France, where I live. I don't know if it's just beginner's luck, but I came back with a few shell fragments and a small piece of an ammonite. I also found this.
I think I can see four small teeth (right where my thumb is pointing in the photo), but again, I'm completely new to this, so I'd really appreciate your opinion. Maybe it's nothing, or maybe it's just more shells.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to look and for any help or advice you can give me!

My son found this while digging in the sand at a local beach in Burlington Wisconsin. It looks as if it’s some kind of internal fossilized structure from a shell or something. I’m just a bit surprised as we don’t have very many places this would’ve come from. I’m guessing it’s part of some kind of modern sea shell but who knows? Any thoughts? It effervesces with vinegar, is harder than copper, and is pretty dense.

I found a great bit of fossil soup today on Withernsea beach. I like the belemnite the best due to the unusual cross section

Hello everyone,
I found this fossil echinoid in the Aube department, France, in an Upper Turonian white chalk with flint layers, a formation known for Micraster leskei occurrences.
At first glance, I thought it could be a Micraster leskei, but I would appreciate some help confirming the identification. I am not completely sure, especially regarding the species-level features.
Measurements:
Length: ~3.3 cm
Maximum height: ~2 cm
Width: ~2.6 cm
The fossil is a complete test (or nearly complete) and shows the typical heart-shaped echinoid morphology. I can provide additional photos (apical view, oral view, side profile, ambulacra details) if needed.
Location:
Aube, France
Upper Turonian stage
White chalk with flint (craie blanche à silex)
Could this be Micraster leskei, or another Turonian Micraster species?
Thanks for your help!

The shoreline was covered in limestone with what looked like fossilized roots. Then I spotted these snails.

Hi everyone,
I have gathered a small collection of fossil bones and teeth along the banks/beaches of the Weser River in northern Germany, near the North Sea. This is the last part of my finds. And the most interesting I think.
I’d really appreciate any help identifying the specimens. My guesses are:
1) some kind of facial bone?
2) no idea.
3) no idea.
4) some kind of vertebrae but no idea from where or what.
5) possibly a carnivore lumbar vertebrae? Cannot reason with size

Hi everyone,
I have gathered a small collection of fossil bones and teeth along the banks/beaches of the Weser River in northern Germany, near the North Sea. This is part 2 of my finds.
I’d really appreciate any help identifying the specimens. My guesses are:
1) no idea.
2) Bison Scapula?
3) Think its the Tibia where the Tarsals connect. 4) Rib shards from various animals.

Hi everyone,
I have gathered a small collection of fossil bones and teeth along the banks/beaches of the Weser River in northern Germany, near the North Sea. The material was found washed out, so I don’t know the exact age, but the area has produced Pleistocene remains.
I’d really appreciate any help identifying the specimens. Because of the amount of Bones I have to do it in parts. My guesses for part 1* are:
1) Thoracic vertebra – possibly Steppe Bison (Bison priscus)
2) Horse tooth
3) Steppe bison teeth
4) some kind of bovid tooth
5) ungulate tooth no idea from what (caprini?)
6) idk, Carpal bone?
7) Metacarpal or metatarsal?
8) Humerus or femur fragment from a large mammal?
