    Maybe it’s from a cow or something? Idk if you live near farms, but could be from a cow from a former owner of the house.

    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!

      Possibly a rib fragment, not a tooth.

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

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

      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

    Could this be an axe of Homo heidelbergensis? I found it in the netherlands, twente. The second picture is an example of how an axe of heidelbergensis looks #fossil #collectionsite

      It is possible however, human made artifacts are not fossils.

      Though not a fossil, it’s very interesting. If does look like the chips were made deliberately. If you contact a local museum, they could give more information on it.

    Could this be coral? Maybe Astrhelia palmata? I found it in limburg, the netherlands, Cretaceous maastrichtian. #fossil

      this doesn’t look much like helicoprion….

    • Profile picture of Leonardo Miranda
      Leonardo Miranda replied 1 year, 8 months ago

      it could be an internal mould of an ammonite

    • Profile picture of A Trilobite
      A Trilobite replied 1 year, 8 months ago

      Kinda looks like a piece of pottery, a strange rock, or a really weathered ammonite. Not a helicoprion…

    @leonardo-miranda i have identified the second one. It is probably a piece of vertebrae from Mosasaurus hoffmannii. The third one is a piece of femur i think. It has the exact same texture and structure of the finger bone and vertebrae piece. Thx!

      not sure about the first ones. the second and third may or may not be bone fragments.
