    Looks like a large vertebra to me but I too can’t get a good ID on species

    the 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

    I’m not convinced that it’s gator based on the root but @smoran may have more insight.

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

    This 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!

    This 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.

    HI @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.

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

    It’s hard to tell. need pictures from other angles.

    I would say this is absolutely not a tapir, but @smoran can better ID

    Horse 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!

    I do not think this is sirenian. they do not have teeth of this fashion but it may be mammal. Perhaps seal tooth?

    I 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.

    could be part of a rib, closest to where it connects to the vertebra, but it’s hard to tell

    the 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!
