      Hi @helen-hopkins there’s not a lot of diagnostic features in this photo! Do you have a photo of the short end? And can you fill out the info of the location of where it was found? This can help with the ID!

      Hi @helen-hopkins, as @leonardo-miranda said, @bill-heim or @vperez can help you with the ID for these!

      Location? Bottom tooth is Carcharodon hastalis. Top tooth is probably Otodus sokolovi as it appears to be out of one of the limestone quarries

      pictures are still too blurry, but it seems to just be an ordinary rock with some barnacles growing on it.

      I concur with Leonardo

      @helen-hopkins Hi! Generally, when uploading a photo for ID, the photo should be clear, against a simple, neutral color background, and include a scale (like a ruler or coin). This does just look like a conglomerate or rock/concrete with barnacles growing on it, from what I can make out!

      Hi there! @helen-hopkins This is a lovely vertebra! Like I mentioned in a prior comment, this would be a case where a scale (like a ruler) helps tell us a lot about the specimen! This photos are also a bit blurry, but @smoran might be able to help with ID. This fossil is rather worn, so it may be be able to be IDed past verterbra!

      Again vertebrae, but this time it’s wedged into sedimentary rock?

    • Profile picture of Chloe Geddes
      Chloe Geddes replied 4 months ago

      It sort of looks like a vertebrae that’s started to become a Silva concretion…. this one is going to probably need some in person eyeballs to look at it.

      Hi! @helen-hopkins Adding location information for all of your fossil find would help a lot with narrowing the ID! Knowing the locations helps to identifying the stratigraphy and time period that a specimen might be from!

      Sweet find! I have a very similar one a friend found in mexico that is a hadrosaur (duck-bilked dinosaur)! Maybe they’re the same?! I have no idea though, sorry!
