Meganeura Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Went hunting at Peace River today - found a bunch of stuff that I’m unsure of what they are. Still very much learning! So any ID’s on the following would be awesome: 1. Starting off with a bone - I’m mostly sure it’s a bone and not actually a fossil, but still no clue what from: 2. Also bone, but this one is definitely fossilized: 3. I’m assuming this a tooth, but I’m not sure if that’s right or what it’s from if so: 4 + 5. Two things I think are osteoderms/scutes, but also not sure what from: 6. Another tooth - not sure what from: 7. This is totally flat and just has very interesting patterns: 8. Another tooth possibly? 9. No clue if this is even a fossil, but it has some reddish colouring and striations that made me think bone: 10. This is flat on one side and has raised spikes on the other: 11. And finally - petrified wood? It’s definitely NOT modern wood, doesn’t burn at all: Thanks in advance!

SawTooth Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 2-ankle bone, maybe deer. 3-mammoth enamel? 4-possable gator osteoderm fragment. 6-horse tooth fragment. 8-gator tooth fragment. 9-is fossil. 10-possably urchin fragment. Some of these may not be correct, but they are my best guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! 2 makes sense, 3 also would make sense, the pictures don't do it justice but it's very... tooth. 4 is what I thought as well. For 8 - it's actually a "flat" tooth, the picture makes it look 3D, but it's not at all conical. It's much closer to a barracuda tooth but a lot bigger. For 9 - any guesses as to what it might be? Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
