Free service
What did you find?
Send us photos and we'll tell you what it is — free, no account, and no obligation to sell it to us or anyone else. We do this because identifying Lowcountry fossils is the part of the job we actually enjoy.
How the free ID service works
A person, not a model
Every answer is written by someone who handles Lowcountry material every day. Image classifiers are confidently wrong about worn megalodon teeth and river rocks — we'd rather tell you we're unsure.
Photos are everything
Daylight, plain background, both sides, and something for scale. Get that right and we can usually name it to species. Get it wrong and nobody can help you.
No catch
We don't ask what you paid, we don't make an offer unless you ask for one, and we don't need an account. If you'd rather we never publish your question, just say so.
Ask about anything
Teeth, vertebrae, ray dental plates, coprolite, bone fragments, and the endless "is this even a fossil?" pile. A no is still an answer worth having.
Submit a fossil for identification
Thinking of selling it?
Tick the box on the form and we'll include an auction estimate with the identification, so you can decide with real numbers rather than a guess. We photograph it, write the lot, and handle the buyer, shipping, and payment — and the lot is credited to you by name. How consigning works.
