    FBI return Croc Skull to Morocco.

    From Morocco World News. https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2022/02/347019/fbi-art-crime-team-returns-fossilized-crocodile-skull-to-morocco So be careful. Buying fakes is fine, but buying a real one might get you into hot water.

    Deinosuchus?

    Hello I am considering getting this set of Deinosuchus teeth. 37 teeth. They are from Chattahoochee River region, Bullock County, Alabama, USA. With the formation given as Ripley Now, looking online, it doesn't show Deinosuchus as being from there. But I do see teeth sold elsewhere as Deinosuchus from the Chattahoochee River. They were also apparently found in a dive along with David. R Scwimmer, who wrote a book on Deinosuchus. The largest is 27mm the smallest 10mm. If someone can take a look, that would be great. fossil_deinosuchus_crocodile_t_1594656235_74263265_progressive.jfif

    croc scute

    Hello again! I found this bone in the Boulonnais, North of France, late Jurrassic sediments. I think it's a crocodile scute (like steneosaurus) but with some doubt because it looks a bit different. It's also slightly curved and about 3 x 3 cm. Regards, Niels
  8. I found these crocodile teeth from Khouribga, Morocco, Phosphate Beds. But not any info about the age. The Khouribga phosphates is Upper Cretaceous-Eocene. Anyone that knows the possible age? There are some crocodile teeth & a jaw. Are they also real without any restoration? I thought about buying them. Or should I pass?

    Suchomimus or croc?

    Hi all, I'm quite certain this is suchomimus, but just to be sure, what say people here? The base has the elongated shape of suchomimus, and it has carinae on both sides as far as I can tell @Troodon
  10. Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and recently acquired what I think is my first dinosaur tooth. I am pretty excited and surprised that Spinosaurus teeth are so common and pretty affordable. What do you think of this tooth? Did it belong to a Spinosaurus? I bought this specimen because of the well preserved enamel and the nice colour. It was glued together after excavation, but that is okay by me. I believe i can discern some vestigial serration. Thanks for your insights!

    Spinosaurid vertebrae?

    Good evening, these vertebrae are announced as spinosaurid, but it's posible to know just with the centrum preserved? At Kem Kem beds there are a lot of other reptiles so, it's posible to know with incomplete material like these?
  12. Whilst walking on sheppey yesterday I found a good size crocodile vert in a phosphatic nodule. I'd love for it to be prepped professionally, I don't think me trying with hand tools and limited know how will end well. It is one of my first larger finds so I'd love for it to look as nice as possible. Are there any preparators or prep services you would recommend for sheppey fossils that may work with this? I understand this will not be the most aesthetic or easy prep job, as is often the case for sheppey finds, but it means alot to me. The nodule is a bit worn, but soft enough to scrape matrix with a finger nail in some areas, and hard in others.

    Hell Creek Crocodylomorph Vertebra

    Anyone familiar enough with the Crocodylomorphs from the Hell Creek Formation to be able to help in determining a probable genus or species? I purchased this specimen and have been unable to find images or research papers with similar examples.

    Aurora Fossil Museum Crocodile Pubis?

    This past summer I found this bone at the Miocene Pungo River dig pits of the Aurora Fossil Museum. The bone matches the shape of the end of a crocodile pubis from what I have seen online. Crocodile material isn’t common from there, but I know it’s occasionally found. Does this look like a correct ID? The bone doesn’t match anything cetacean that I’m aware of, too thin to be a limb bone or rib head, not the right shape for a phalanges or vertebral process as far as I can tell.

    Crocodilian teeth

    From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations

    Crocodilia (teeth) Hell Creek Fm., Powder River Co., MT, USA Cretaceous Crocodilian teeth - could be from Brachychampsa and/or Borealosuchus?
  17. Hi all, two IDs here. Both are from North Carolina’s Cretaceous Black Creek group. The first is a small piece of turtle carapace. My question is, does this piece of turtle shell also preserve the keratinous plate that layers over top of a turtle’s carapace? I’ve never seen one fossilized before. The second specimen is a bone fragment. My only question with it is what could have bones with this much cancellous/trabecular bone? I haven’t collected something this porous before, it’s new to me. I’m thinking reptile, maybe croc or turtle? Not hoping for any ID beyond that with this fragment. Any help is appreciated, and thanks! turtle shell: bone fragment:
  18. Hi all, I recently made a bid on a Moroccan crocodile skull w/ associated vertebrae and a leg bone. The specimen is supposed to be from the phosphate mines of Khourigba, Morocco. Aside from some minor restoration to one of the condyles at the rear of the skull and the upper vertebrae at the back of the skull, it supposedly all original. I’m very skeptical, the white color is odd, it looks in too good of condition, but the skull does have texturing that made me think twice. Does this look legit, or should I be wary in case I win/before transferring money? The auction site is everyone’s favorite auction site, so if it’s fake it shouldn’t be an issue. Here are the pics:

    Aquia crawl

    Hey guys, I'm back from my trip out at sea. It was a very insightful and unforgettable experience. Learned a lot about the world around, and myself as well. anyways, enough about that, I went out to Douglas point yesterday and although it was a very short day, it was also extremely productive. Which included some pristine sand tigers, a perfect 1 1/2 inch croc, and a killer Otodus. Here’s everything good I found: (Idk why it goes in sideways but there’s the total of everything found). Front (or backside technically) of the best teeth found. Back (or technically front) side of the best teeth found. Anyways, that’s everything I found. Thanks for reading guys!
  20. Hello! I saw a jaw fragment for sale from the kem kem beds, it's identified as crocodile. I've seen picsc of crocodile jaws before and that they have like a pitted texture, I don't see that very clearly on this one, but since this is out of my expertise I want to ask you guys who has more knowledge. Could it be something else like a spinosaurid?
  21. So, I found these 5 bones, and firstly, I need to know if they are cetacean or not. If not cetacean, then they are likely crocodilian, mosasaur, or I guess possibly turtle. They come from North Carolina, either from marine Cretaceous Black Creek group deposits, or there is a chance they could be marine Pliocene (hence why I would like to either confirm or rule out cetacean if possible). The area they come from is mostly Cretaceous, but I have found a few Pliocene shark teeth there, and stratigraphic maps show nearby Pliocene stratum, so I’m not totally sure (the area is in Cretaceous stratum on the map, but Pliocene is close by). These bones have distinct shapes so I think they may be IDable...but on my own I’m lost. Thank you for any help you can provide!!!!! Bone 1 (pretty sure it’s a rib): Bone 2: Bone 3: Bone 4 (I think this one is a rib too): Bone 5:
  22. I just recently found this bone in the Cretaceous Black Creek group deposits of eastern North Carolina. I think it is either crocodile or turtle. I am almost positive it isn’t mosasaur, dinosaur, or plesiosaur (some other tetrapods found in the Black Creek group). Also, is it a radius, ulna, tibia, fibula, femur, etc.? Or is it even a limb bone? I have no idea. Thanks!
  23. Hi all, last week I found a tooth that I’m pretty sure is crocodilian, I believe it might be from Deinosuchus rugosus, any thoughts? The tooth is from NC Tar Heel formation sediments. Btw it has two carina. Also, I have a bone fragment I found from the same location, I believe it’s from the skull or possibly the rib of a mosasaur or crocodile, or I guess possibly a large turtle. Is there any way to identify it further? Organisms can have different bone morphology at the histological level, wanted to see if anyone could narrow the bone down to coming from a turtle, crocodile, or mosasaur based on the bone structure. Although it may not be possible just by looking at the pics. Thanks!

    Douglas Point 10-17-21

    After going several weeks without fossil hunting, due to weather, schedule, etc., I finally made it out to Douglas Point (Paleocene, Aquia Formation) in Maryland this morning on a very pretty, cool autumn day. My first fossil find of the day was a small piece of ratfish plate. Below is my first shark tooth of the day (a sand tiger, like the vast majority of teeth found here). By the standards of this site, the quantity of shark teeth was low today, but they were in better than average shape, which isn't a bad trade off. Many appeared to be fresh out of the matrix. Finding Otodus obliquus teeth never gets old! This tooth has some tip wear, but is in much better shape than what I expected when I first saw it poking out of the sand. It's about an inch long. The Paralbula marylandica tooth plate below is the second that I've found -- today's wasn't as nice as my first one, but I was still pretty happy to find it. The Potomac River was choppy and silty today, and, as a result, I didn't have as much luck hunting the water's edge as I sometimes do. Luckily, the tides were low, so there was still exposed beach to peruse. Here's another Otodus in the gravels--smaller than the earlier one. The croc tooth below is a little beat up, but at an inch and a half long, it's the second largest that I've found. The shark teeth were all on the smaller side today. The largest I found is below and measures 1 and 3/16 inches long. Hopefully I won't have such a long break before my next fossil hunt. Thanks for looking!
