Need some help with identifying this skull from Hezheng, China. The seller said it is a young adcrocuta skull, but I think it might be an ictitheriinae. The length of the skull is about 20 cm. Thanks for your help.

New paper describing Dinosaur eggs with embryos. Check out those teeth in Fig 5 Abstract says it all Dinosaur eggs containing embryos are rare, limiting our understanding of dinosaur development. Recently, a clutch of subspherical dinosaur eggs was discovered while blasting for a construction project in the Upper Cretaceous red beds (Hekou Formation) of the Ganzhou Basin, Jiangxi Province, China. At least two of the eggs contain identifiable hadrosauroid embryos, described here for the first time https://bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12862-022-02012-x

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this small tooth. It is 4mm, from Liaoning, Yixian Formation, China. I am wondering if it is a bird tooth. Given the vast amount of birds found there, I think a more specific ID is unlikely. It doesnt seem to fit any of the pterosaurs, but there could be a type I am overlooking. It is attached to matrix, so I can't get a photo of the base, but I did what I could. Thanks for the help

This fossil was found in Yunnan Province, China, along with Keichousaurus. So it's Triassic. Is it a snake skeleton or the tail of a marine reptile like Xipusaurus?

Bird fossil (with feathers)
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This bird fossil is amazing, if genuine, that it has the imprints of feathers. Is it painted? The fossil is from Liaoning Province, China. -
Dinosaur egg and skeleton
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
An incomplete skeleton was found alongside with a raptor egg. Does it look like the skeleton is genuine? Would it be the skeleton of an elder hatchling of the same brood? This specimen is from Ganzhou of Jiangxi Province, China. -
Two Types of Dinosaur Eggs
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
The eggs were from Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province of China. How come the two different types of eggs, two spheroidal and an elongated eggs, are sticking together? Are they genuine eggs or eggs glued together artificially? -
Hi everyone, Im new to this forum but have stumbled across it while trying to find information about psittacosaurus, I have a quite large complete (I think) specimen, over 3.5 feet long. The bones are prepared but not mounted. Does anyone know of anyone in England that can prepare these to being mounted? Looking forward to speaking with fellow collectors out there kind regards

Although originally described as an alga, F. gyrata is now regarded by some authors as a coprolite (e.g., Steiner et al. 2005). Taxonomy from GBIF.org. Description and remarks by Chen and Zhou 1997., p. 88 : "Thread cylindrical, unbranchial, with a uniform, flattened width of 1.2mm and a preserved length of at least 20cm. Surface bears a tightly and helically coiled structure. Remarks: This is the most abundant alga in the Chengjiang biota. Most of the thread are preserved within a microturbidite mud layer and show irregular twisting, indicating that the thread was extremely flexible. Specimens probably sank to the bottom from the overlying water column, in a very low-energy environment, before the incursion of minor mud flow.” Restoration by Chen and Zhou 1997., p. 89: References: Chen, J.Y., and Zhou, G., (1997) Biology of the Chengjiang fauna.

Hi, this was in my batch of eggshell. Quite unusual. I am wondering if it could actually be a small bit of Turtle shell? It doesnt look like any bit of eggshell Ive seen yet. It is tiny, so I hope the photos are good enough. Thanks

Hello, I thought I'd share my eggs and eggshell collection. Eggs are all from China. Eggshell are from different places. All of these eggs from China. I hope to add a French egg at some point, and some other types from China.

This is from a well known site (Yaopo formation, early to mid Jurrasic) in western Beijing, where Cladophhlbis, Neocalamites, Czekanowskiales,Baiera Coniopteris are the most abundant stuff. People also found dinasaur footprints here ( one of them was first considered of an earliest bird, until some raised the possiblity of a very young Theropoda individual). The oppositely paired leaves( leass than 1 cm for each leave) are found before, with no ID. This is the first time people could tell its is a vine-like plant. Any clue what it could be? anything similar found before for this period?

Dragonfly, purportedly originally from Jurassic Daohugou Biota, China. Preservation looks rough enough to maybe be real, but I don't know much about insects that aren't encased in amber.
