In June 2016, during a trip to Italy, I went for a morning to the Natural History Museum of Milan to check out the fossils they had. I was slightly disappointed when I learned that the Scipionyx samniticus holotype specimen was no longer housed over there, but the museum did on the other hand have some rather neat fossils. Here they are 2 labyrinthodont skulls from the Permian of Madagascar (Sakamena Formation?), preserved as part and counterpart: 1) Parotosuchus madagascariensis 2) Indeterminate capitosaurid 3) Resin casts of the skulls

Hello TFF! I just wanted to take a minute to share with everyone some of our finds from 2016. I do most of my digging up in Kemmerer, WY trying my hand at fossil fishes. 2016 was a pretty exceptional year in that along with our standard hundreds of 18" fish and thousands of split fish we pulled 2 VERY LARGE specimens. quite rare really. it averages out to about 1 every 2 or 3 years normally, so 2 in one summer is AMAZING! These panels have all been finished and are ready to hit the market along with the large gar and the croc! Fingers crossed that they sell so we can op

Thursday's trip to the Peace was a little more productive than the last few and yielded these 2 unknowns. I'd appreciate an ID if possible. The first is a stubby little phalanx. The second is most likely a recent tooth.

Merry Christmas/Happy holidays everyone. There are a few more days left in 2016, so still time left for something amazing to happen, but I thought it's about that time that some of us reflect on the year that has been. I purposely listed best find and trip separately, sometimes finding something awesome makes for your best trip, sometimes a best trip is all about the experience - the locality, the people or the challenge. At at least that's how it works for me. My best trip was an overnight trip up the North Canterbury coastline at the start of the year:

Yesterday's trip to the Peace was moderately productive, but this item may be interesting. I almost threw it away because half of it is broken, but it looks somewhat different than other osteoderms we normally find. Can anyone suggest what the animal was? It looks some what like a small sloth osteoderm that was identified for me last year, but so much bigger.

My sister found this last week on a Delaware beach. Can anyone identify it for us? Thanks!
