Hello, A while ago I got some unprepped bones from the hell creek formation, South Dakota. This rib was in multiple pieces, but I wanted to give it a try. Could someone ID this please? Thank you Natalie

Dear TFF members, I have bought a lot of fossils from Buttenheim, Germany, Lias epsilon. The seller said that there are bones and teeth, but there were no labels attached, so I need to ID them The first one comprises belemnites and? Brachiopods? Belemnite is 8 cm, potential brachiopods - 2, 3 cm in diameter. Then a piece with a paddle bone of Ichtiozaur? Potential paddle bone 1x1.5 cm. A bivalve? 1 cm A single vert - could be of Ichtiozaur? 6cm in diameter Then several pieces with teeth - of what? The smallest one is 0.5 cm, the biggest - 1.3 cm. Two pieces with bones? 3.5 cm and 4 .5 cm.

Hello everybody so while browsing the web looking for fossils I stumble upon lots of onlineshops and auctionsides offering single bones. And I'm always like "how do they know the species/genus?" This is not about whether I buy these Vertebrae or not. And not just about the identification of theses specific vertebrae, but more on the concept of trying to identify single bones using these Vertebrae as an example. Let's give it a go: 1) Offered as a Caudal Vertebrae from Camarasaurus grandis, 10.7″. Age: Upper Jurassic Location: Salt & Pepper Quarry, East Of Dinosaur, Colorado. Formation: Brushy Basin Member, Morrison Formation 2) Offered as a Caudal Vertebrae from Camarasaurus grandis, 12.6″. Age: Upper Jurassic Location: Sutton Quarry, East Of Dinosaur, Colorado. Formation: Brushy Basin Member, Morrison Formation 3) Offered as a Tail Vertebrae from Camarasaurus, 5″ wide x 6 3/4″ Age: Jurassic Location: Wyoming Formation: Morrison Formation 4) Offered as a Vertebrae from Camarasaurus, 5 3/4″ x 9 1/4″ Age: Jurassic Location: Wyoming Formation: Morrison Formation So what did I do? I tried google search for images of a Camarasaurus skeleton. Didn't finde the best picutres though. After looking at this my best guess is that it from the "later" (sorry, don't know the correct english word, marked red) part of the tail. Then I tried to find possible candidates for this bone. CLICK (yep, just wikipedia... but I don't know any scientific papers to search) There are a lot of Sauropod in the Morrison Formation in Colorado and Wyoming, so I honestly don't know if it's possible to name them Camarasaurus. For my uneducated eye this could literally be any Dinosaur Verbetrae. I do know Troodons topic about Dinosaur Anatomy, but it didn't really help me at that point. So my question is: What is your way on identifying single bones and what is the best way to do it? Any help is welcome, thank you so much

Last Friday and last Sunday I visited the quarry Mistelgau in Bavaria. Its since 2005 abandoned and a very beautiful geotop. But you can still find fossils there! It's possible to find various Jurassic fossils like ammonites, gastropodes, marine reptile bones .... I was mainly interested in finding some Ichthyosaur bones and all in all I was quite successful. Here is a picture of the quarry: Belemnits can be found everywhere ... I found 6 Ichthyosaur vertebrae and 5 paddle bones. The vertebrae: The two associated vertebrae are my favourite ones. Unprepped: And prepped: The preparation wasn't too easy. It took 3 or 4 hours. Some more detailed pictures of vertebrae: Unprepped: Prepped:

From the album: North Sulphur River
Unassociated mosasaur bones collected over 5-6 trips across 5 years. The two at the bottom are skull fragments, the rightmost being a small jaw section with one root. The leftmost likely is from the posterior portion of the skull. -
These are an assortment of mosasaur bones found in the north sulfur river in ladonia, tx. There are some paddle/flipper parts that are identifiable however most of them are "junk" bone. I've yet to find a vertebra.

From the album: Yorkshire Ichthyosaur Fossils
Various Ichthyosaur bones, including some paddle digits. Can you spot the lobster tail on this piece? -
Request ID for two bone fragments from the Isle of Wight in England. The first one was found in Sandown on the beach near the rocks at Yaverland in the gray sandstone sediments - the Vectis formation from the Wealden Group. From this beach are found crocodile or pterosaur bones. The bone is small and has no endings that could say something more / identify, but maybe something can be said? The second bone is a small fragment of the top layer of some bone. She was found in the same place as above on the beach. I wonder if this is the contemporary bone of an animal? What do you think?

Real Mosasaur Teeth and Bones?
FossilsandScience posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone, I saw this fossil being sold and I think I am going to buy it, but I don’t know if it’s real or fake. It is two rooted Mosasaur teeth with extra jaws and bones (I contacted the seller, who told me they were also probably Mosasaur bones). It was found in Phosphate Deposits, in Khourigba, Morocco. Please help!

Hi! I have asked about these on my facebook group, and one I have asked my state museum about, The first one I found looks like a hip bone possibly (I forgot what he had called it) He was thinking ot could be a Horse or Bison. The second is a longer skinnier bone, I found it close to the place that I found the first one, I noticed it has four holes, one on each side and at the top and bottom is that normal? I have no clue to what this one came from and might not ever find out but I just think both are soo cool! I also found a very odd bone stuck in what I think is limestone, on my facebook group everyone said it was rust...I'm legit like 100000% sure it's bone but everyone thought different, I even etched around the bone on the limestone to make the bone much more prominent, what do you all think? All were found in my backyard which is a large wooded area the two full bones where found in a creek back there and the one in limestone was found after a heavy rain on a slope **I'll post the rest in the comments below**

Advice for Temnospondyli fossil hunting in Pennsylvania :)
corporateidentity posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello everyone. I am an incredibly novice fossil hunter from Pennsylvania. From where I live, it is heavy Carboniferous territory. One of the items on my bucket list is to eventually find something from a temnospondyl, even if it is nothing more than a trackway or even better - a bone fragment! Would anyone be willing to share with me advice on what to look for / or what has helped them in finding anything from a Temnospondyl or Lepospondyl? Do they appear more in certain rocks than others? I live in the Pittsburgh area, near where Fedexia was discovered ten years ago. I'm hoping to eventually find something related to Fedexia or another temnospondyli. From what I'm realizing, these little guys are hard to come by. Any advice? Thanks everyone! -
Reading the morning news, found this article: http://www.realclearlife.com/books/inside-illegal-unethical-world-owning-dinosaur-bones/ Well, we have lots of fossil hunters from lots of countries. This seems untrue to me... sort of fake news. What say you all?

Okay, so I have a couple of fossils in my collection, in which I'd like some more opinions on. First, I bought this un-identified dinosaur chevron bone. It is from the Kem Kem beds, Morocco.

U can see first the part of the lower jaw of the Juvenile Mammoth,a scapula part,part of the mammoth molar and many parts of Mammoth tusk fragments.They are not from the same individual and it's unknown if it's from Woolly Mammoth,Mammuthus trogontherii or from Mammuthus meridionalis.Enjoy.

Recently I visited a clay pit near Mistelgau in Bavaria. It's a kinda famous quarry because of the "belemnite battle field". Huge plates with hundreds/thousands belemnites come from there. But you can also findother fossils like ammonites and also bones. I already was there a few times and I mainly found ammonites and of course belemnites. But this time I also found some bones in the area of the Belemnite battle field. They were just laying therebut it was kinda difficult to find them because they are round, Belemnites are round etc. so I more or less crawled through the quarry So here are two picture of the quarry: The typical ground there: Lots of belemnites, some ammonites and very rare other fossils like bones. I found two types of bones. Firstly Ichthyosaur paddle bones: Here is a picture of all the paddle bones I found (unprepped): Mostly they were kinda small but I was able to find a nice one with a length of 3 cm: And here is another detailed picture of a small one (1cm)
