Could be stromatolite, but based on the age of the lake rocks it’s probably a metamorphic rock.

That is a nice specimen with great potential for prepping. How are you preparing it?
-
Thanks @patrick-hsieh , I use an air scribe to remove large Sections of the matrix, then use a micro sandblaster and dental hand tools Once I get close to the fossil

Bone fragment

I looked at the fossils found in your area, and I think the best match is a rib of a pleistocene reindeer.
-
looks like a rib fragment

No way to relate this to a humanoid. It could be from any number of vertebrate animals.

Hi @alex-esau i found this fossil at the 2nd maasvlakte in south holland the netherlands. The fossils washed ashore onto the beach where you can pick them up. These fossils are all from the pleistocene epoch, 10.000 years to 1.4 million years ago. Good luck!
-
Again I looked at the fossil animals found in the area, and I believe this to be the shoulder blade of a steppe bison. Here is a link to a photo I found that is a good comparison: https://isteam.wsimg.com/ip/8b6cd9e7-2e5b-11e6-aa8b-14feb5d39f6a/ols/7422_original/:/rs=w:600,h:600

bone

Oh wow, i wonder what from!
-
too fragmentary and worn to tell, sorry.

Looks a little like part of a fish.
-
The preoperculum
-
A part behind the eye near the gills

Find them by lake Winnebago all the time.
-
Just added another picture if it helps.
-
Appears to be modern, not a fossil
-
I would be so excited to find something like this ! Sometimes I do a Google lens search on my photos when I don’t know what something is – it’s a 50/50 chance of being helpful or pointing me in the direction of what I’ve found or looking at.
-
What makes this modern, just wondering ? Is it because it’s attached mainly as a whole ? Could any of you be more specific – like “modern” – our current time period ? “Bone of what type of fish / species ?” Also, users are from all over the world – where is lake Winnebago and why would you be finding modern fish bone like this all the time?
-
Just trying to learn more and understand my finds as well- and so got “ a rock” reply to one of my posts and I just wanted to faceplant lol ! We are all here to learn 🌎
-
Its quite interesting to see how different peoples opinions are. It was found in an area where ice age mammoth bones have been found so it has been suggested on a different site that it could be quite old.

-
Yes lol

This was a weathered smooth rounded beach rock found on a pebble beach, colors have been enhanced in photoshop to bring out more detail
-
