Absolutely stunning coloration. Originally described as Retiocrinus fimbriatus by Billings (1866?) Reference: Ausich, W.I., and Copper, P., 2010, The Crinoidea of Anticosti Island, Québec (Late Ordovician to Early Silurian): Palaeontographica Canadiana, v. 29, 157 p"

So I'm visiting Canada(Alberta) for a while and came across this store that sold gemstones and fossils. I decided to buy a few fossils(chambered ammonites, orthoceras, trilobite elrathia kingii, Trilobite proetus) but when I got to my rental place I came to the realisation that these might be illegal to take with me back home. I'm from South Africa. Will it be a problem if I take them home with me or do I require some kind of permit to bring them with me on the flight home?

I found this on a beach in Prince Edward Island, Canada and i’m trying to identify it. I haven’t weighed it, but I’m estimating around 10 pounds, and also has a bit of a waxy feel. Any ideas?

Took this picture about a year ago. I was exploring the shoreline on Denman Island. Group I was with was calling me back to leave when I saw this between some boulders. Snapped a few pictures because I thought it looked interesting. Wasn't sure if this could be a fossil, or maybe a concretion? Didn't have time to measure or get any closer for better photos, but it was thicker than a forearm and around the same length. Anyway, this is something I found online about the area if its useful. "Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group of southwest British Columbia is a >4 km-thick succession consisting mostly of deep marine siliciclastics deposited directly on the Insular Superterrane. " https://fossilhuntress.blogspot.com/2019/09/denman-island-concretion.html Any help is appreciated, always interested in learning something new Thanks, Jenaya

ID Ankylosaurus scute Judith River Formation (Alberta, Canada)
Mikej_fossils posted a topic in Fossil ID
I bought this Ankylosaur osteoderm scute awhile back. I hope the narrow down the species. The scute was found in the Judith River Formation in Aberta Canada. It is legally collected and was orginaly sold in the late 80's. There are several Ankylosaur species in the Judith River formation. Hope someone can narrow it down to one Its 17 cm or 6.7 inch. Thanks in advance!

Ordovician, Nicolet River Formation, Crinoid columnal segments
Denis Arcand posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Art
These crinoid segments look amazing in their natural color -
What ancient creature is this? it has small bumps, no holes so i don't think it's a bryozoan? I will appreciate if anyone can identify this little fossil for me. Thanks!

I found this clam buried in mud along Joshua’s Creek in Oakville, near Lake Ontario, the hotspot of Ordovician fossils. Measurements are 7cm by 6cm. I’m particularly intrigued by the growth rings, since they protrude out rather visibly and considering I’ve never seen this in any other kind of fossil or living clam species. Can anyone help with identifying what species of fossil clam this is?

Forum folks, I have a question. What tyrannosaurs have been discovered in Canada?

I’ve had this fossil in the back of my case for a while, and only remembered it recently. It appears to be some sort of bark, but I am unsure if it is so. I found it in Nova Scotia a long time ago, and unfortunately didn’t think to write down location. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found this bone in a creek in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have asked some hunters and farmers what it could be but nobody seems to know. It appears old but modern. There looks to be a suture mark or perhaps an old fracture or some pathology. I would appreciate any insight into what bone this may be. Or where I might look to find something to compare? Thank you.

Hi, Anyone know what this is? The provenance seems to be "Port Colboru, Ontario" of Canada? Thank you

This is a rare find of dinosaur remains preserved with its last meal. Of the hundreds of skeletons of carnivorous dinosaurs discovered to date, only 20 cases retained traces of their last meals. This discovery made during a visit to museum collections in China brings their number to 21. https://www.mcgill.ca/science/channels/news/other-paleo-diet-rare-discovery-dinosaur-remains-preserved-its-last-meal-344495 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2022.2144337

Hey there! I am new to the forum and have been collecting fossils for most of my life! The majority of my collection is Pliestocene focused! I love cave bear, woolly rhino, and mammoth! Looking for a place to see other people's collections but also show case my own!

Hello, I’m not quite sure what this could possibly be if anything.. the shape of it along with some of the details like the top part of it, the slit (mouth?) and random red dots. I thought it looks kinda made or like carved? I’m not really sure.. found in Tudor and Cashel, Ontario Canada.

I was reading through some posts talking about members' donations of fossils to museums, and was wondering how I would go about this, if/when I believe I have discovered something notable. Are there specific dates where fossils can be brought in to be evaluated, or do I contact the museum or staff by email? The ROM is the closest museum to me, and I would appreciate if I could find out more about their system.

Just found this fossil laying in a rock quarry while fishing, looks like a bone running all the way throughout the rock? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I found the following fossils hunting the Nicolet River Formation (Upper Ordovician). The layer where the specimens are is really friable, which makes them really fragile to remove, so I will have to remove a large piece of rock as a support. They measure approximately 2 and 1 inches respectively. I have two questions: 1. What is it ? 2. Is it worth taking it home?
