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

5 days, 11 hours ago5 days, 11 hours agoHi Matthew! I’m gonna tag in @SMoran, @sholte, and @jeanette-pirlo since I’m not too great with verts.

This looks like a claw or hoof, but i am not up to date with my Cretaceous taxa.

5 days, 12 hours ago5 days, 12 hours agoHi, @Mariela-Pajuelo! I think this is a reptile tooth of some sort but knowing what age it is and where it is from would be very useful in identifying it.

Oh, good. We found it here in Gainesville, so Miocene strata.

5 days, 12 hours ago5 days, 12 hours agoHi, @mariela-pajuelo. Do you have any clearer photos? I can’t seem to make this out at all. You can add photos to a single specimen by navigating to the specimen page on a desktop: https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/67012 and clicking “View Media” under the single photo. I would add the other photo you uploaded to this specimen and delete the…[Read more]

Thanks! Uploaded better photos now (I think…).

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!

5 days, 12 hours ago5 days, 12 hours agoHi @Matthew-Gramling! This looks like a toe bone or a turtle scute? I’m not super sure, so I’ll tag in @jeanette-pirlo.
-
Thank you @samantha-ocon! I look forward to the feedback!
-
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.

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

1 week, 6 days ago1 week, 6 days agoHi @Alex-Buchanan! I’m looking for resources that might help us narrow down the ID. Do you know how old this is? https://www.macrostrat.org can help! Also, for the eMuseum, we can only accept individual fossils, not multiples. Can you edit the photos so they’re of only a single specimen? Thanks, Sam

2 weeks, 1 day ago2 weeks, 1 day agoHi @johnathan-vonallmen! The identifier section is not a required section for a specimen to be considered research grade, but it basically refers to whoever identified the fossil – in this case, I think it would be you. In terms of resources, https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=1.5/x=16/y=23/bedrock/lines/ is the best! You can search for the location…[Read more]

Could be a vertebra (fish, shark?) cross section but without knowing the location at a minimum and formation, one cannot be sure.
