1 year, 1 month ago1 year, 1 month agothe picture is a little blurry but it looks like a whale ear bone (periodic?) but it may be dolphin. Would need a scale bar with the image to better narrow down

1 year, 1 month ago1 year, 1 month agoI’m not convinced that it’s gator based on the root but @smoran may have more insight.

I see what you mean, @Jeanette-Pirlo! Vertebrates are hard lol

1 year, 1 month ago1 year, 1 month agoThis almost looks like a bone from a paddle (hand bone), but as i’ve mentioned before, Cretaceous material is not my expertise!

1 year, 1 month ago1 year, 1 month agoThis looks like a claw or hoof, but i am not up to date with my Cretaceous taxa.

Thank you @samantha-ocon and @jeanette-pirlo! I have been looking at unguals of thescelosaurs and pachycephalosaurs from the Hell Creek Formation. I believe this specimen is a thescelosaur (or similar small ornithopod) ungual.
-
There is also a possibility that it is an ornithomimid claw.
-
Thank you, @Matthew-Gramling. As you probably know by now, my strength is not vertebrates. I’m going to see if I can find a dinosaur person to confirm that ID.
-
No worries! Thank you again for the help!

1 year, 1 month ago1 year, 1 month agoThis looks like a sirenian tooth (manatee or dugong). When things go back to normal, you should definitely bring it by the collections for Richard to fully ID @mariela-pajuelo Great find!
-
I agree. It looks just like one I found years ago in a phosphate mine in Brewster, FL.

1 year, 1 month ago1 year, 1 month agoHI @matthew-gramling and @samantha-ocon this does not look like a turtle scute. It looks more like a vertebra, but i do not know much about the Cretaceous fossil record. But i can certainly confirm that this is not a turtle scute.

Thank you @jeanette-pirlo! I appreciate the help!!!!

A small Dolphin, the epiphysis (end caps) are fused to the vert so it is an adult.

1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agoI would say this is absolutely not a tapir, but @smoran can better ID

1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agoHorse teeth have a funny way of doing that. the first time i saw a fossil horse tooth, i too thought it was wood, but this is a nice horse tooth!

1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agoI do not think this is sirenian. they do not have teeth of this fashion but it may be mammal. Perhaps seal tooth?

1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agoI agree with Victor. it’s hard to tell, but i’m not convinced it’s turtle only because i don’t see any sutures or sulchi on either side. The texture of the bone in the first image makes me think this is some type of mammal, perhaps part of the hip or scapula based on the shape and size.

1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agocould be part of a rib, closest to where it connects to the vertebra, but it’s hard to tell

1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agothe top one almost looks like it may be a toe bone, but it’s hard to tell. pictures of all angles, and a scale bar would be helpful, even if it’s just a pen!
