So i recently visited this forum and i read somewhere that we haven't yet discovered spinosaurus legs and its appearance regarding its feet and legs may be just speculation. The argument that was made was whether spinosaurus was a species of crocodile rather than a dinosaur because he may had small legs. So could that be the case?

Where are the closest dinosaur sites from The Newcastle area?
FrostbyteFossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
So I live in the Newcastle area. I got this map that states that Coonabarabran contains jurassic rock. I can't figure out how accurate this is. So I suppose my question is: does anyone know if this is true and if not, where is the closest place to Newcastle, NSW that contains possible dinosaur or bone material to find?

Didn't pay much attention when I picked this up, just noticed it was interesting. It was a surface find and I guessed I would figure it out later. Any ideas? Found this somewhere south of Wamsutter, WY.

Hello! I have gotten these 3 teeth from a friend. The 3 are from Africa but I do not know their exact location since they have been there for years. According to what he told me the first 2 are of suchomimus (the teeth that I have seen of suchomimus are more gray and black) and the last one of camarasaurus. What do you think? Thank you so much!

New to this. Found in a creek bed that has changed drastically due to road development, and flooding from the Mississippi. Found a lot of other interesting things I’ll post by group

Hello again, it has been quite a while since my last post but now I have found the time to do some proper pictures of all items of my small collection. But before publishing them in the other section I want to make sure they are correctly identified... I have limited myself to one or two pictures per tooth so that this post didn't get too long. If additional pictures are needed for an proper identification please let me know and I will upload them. Theropod indet. (It was sold as Carcharodontosaurus) this was offered as a Nanotyrannus lancensis (Hell Creek Form., Montana) Ankylosaurus magniventris (Hell Creek Form., Wyoming) Siroccopteryx moroccensis (Tegana Form., Kem Kem, Morocco)

Fake Carcharodontosaurus tooth
paulyb135 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Last year when I was still a rookie in the dinosaur tooth collecting hobby I acquired a rooted Carcharodontosaurus in a trade. I was advised shortly after receiving it by a few people that it looks pretty fake. I have only just got the time to look in to this properly and my findings astounded me! Attached is a before and after image. The root is completely fake and the crown is made up of at least two different carch teeth and then glued together and painted. I have now thrown this tooth in the bin. My advice for all collectors so they don’t make the same errors as me and others I’m sure is to get second and third opinions before buying or trading!

My wife and I went to our other property to look for some stuff for the church garage sale. Gots lots of stuff but also ran into this box with my last dino eggs. I bought these in 1995 or 96? Been a very long time since ive seen these. My memory was that these were perfect? Now I can see that is not so! These eggs have problems for sure but im purty sure they are real, just a bit fixed up? Any ideas are appreciated. thanks RB

Hello, I am new to the hobby and got my first mossosaur tooth with root. I bought it from one of the most reputable sellers who stated it was 100% as found, but being new and also quite paranoid I needed some opinions. Also please can you help me to identify the species as for a Prognathodon I think it looks a bit too light coloured and thin. The matrix of the fossil seems to have some other fossils inside as well as small fractions of bone and when put under light there are bits that glow (phosphate?). I would really like to know your opinions. I thank you all in advance!

Not a worm infested dinosaur egg...
TqB posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
UPDATE: I politely messaged the seller with the correct ID and have received a very friendly reply thanking me and that there was no intent to deceive. They say they'll change the listing when back from a foreign holiday. UPDATE 2: 3 June 2019 This has now been correctly relisted as a coral - at a much, much lower price (but still a lot more by several times than I'd be prepared to pay if I wanted it, which I don't! - it's a common species). ORIGINAL POST:Described as a dinosaur egg with worm infestation, and with a very high price tag! It's obviously a coral colony, probably Diphyphyllum sp.

This vert sold recently, but curious anyway to see what other forum members think. Said to be Megalosaurid, from Kimmeridgian, Jurassic - Kimmeridge Clay Dorset, England. Approximately 7.5cm x 6.5cm x 7cm in size. Thoughts?

I just went to this traveling exhibit in a museum in a city where my brother lives that it is about the animals and life in the Permian period and I got pictures of 3 fossils, an ammonite, a trilobite and a crinoid but I don’t know what species and genus they are?

Found this at Rocken End, St Catherine's point, Isle of Wight, think it comes from the greensand formation but I'd be surprised if this is a footprint since this is a marine deposit pictures attached below

As promised, here are 2 photos with measurements showing an egg that was in the collection of fossils found in a storage locker. Again, no known location of origin. There appears to be an embryo still attached, which is pretty dang cool if you ask me, but not enough physical detailed features to be able to identify what class of animal it belongs to. I've considered chipping away a bit of the surrounding stone to see if I could acquire more detail of the egg itself, but I'm "chicken". (mic drop) Anyway, I've been corny enough. If anyone has any idea on what this may be I'd be eternally grateful.

Hello! I just wanted to check on these two pieces before they go into the black hole known as my 'unidentifiable bone' bin. Both are from Monmouth County New Jersey (Cretaceous). I found fossil number 1 two days ago and unfortunately, it didn't make the trip back home in one piece. When I looked at it though, the broken sections looked more like my broken Mosasaur and Enchodus teeth than bone (scan below), and it also reminded me of a fossil my brother found years ago that we weren't able to identify. I looked online and the texture of the recent 'thing' looked similar to some dinosaur teeth (Titanosaur and sauropod especially) so I just wanted to see what everyone thought. Thanks again! -Frank

I recently found something amazing for sale,it is claimed to be a fossilized dino embryo. It is said that this is fossillized seed or brain but later identified it as a dino.I found something similar but throw it away because mom said that it was just a stone :(.
