Found in a creek bed near the Mississippi River in central MS. My thoughts are upper half of a skull upside down. Looks like it had tusks or something.

Found this barely sticking out of a creek wall 5’ below top on the vertical eroding side. Town and country Missouri. Same creek I’ve found an agate basin knife, Snyder arrowhead, blade cores and more.

A hand-me-down from a retired teacher. Supposedly contraband that was confiscated and donated for educational purposes. You could see how big it is compared to a hand in the second picture.

Kids were building a sand castle and unearthed this. The weird hairy bits at the bottom seemed to still be attached so I had them stop with their excavation. Any idea what this is? Washington state

As my title described, I found this when chewing my breakfast. It is hard and slightly curves. One side is pointy and the other side is flat. There is a small opening into the object on the flat side. It's in the middle of the croissant with the filling as I was biting into it. It's a raspberry croissant with crushed almond filling (I think). What can this be? Thank you.

Eastern Ontario, Canada. Found on a farm. Is this a raccoon, cat, some sort of mustelid ? I’d like to know so I can take better care of her now she’s gone. Also, any advice for softening this skin?

I’m a bit concerned?? Looks very human but I know sometimes monkey skulls resemble human skulls. Hard to tell without teeth. Slope of the forehead looks too round to match most primates. Brow bones look relatively unpronounced. Help?

I’m house sitting and they have this very large bone which I would guess is a vertebrae. I’m in the states but the owners are travelers so could be from anywhere. I’m very jealous of the bones in this house…

My rental has this skull with horns and I was wondering what it came from. Too small to be a Long Horn or a Bison. Maybe they bought a Water Buffalo skull for decor?
