I finally made a start with a project I was planning for a while now: drawing the Kem Kem dinosaur fauna! First I will draw each dinosaur individually and then I will combine them all in one big landscape. As you can probably tell, I am not aiming for 100% scientific accurary. I do however try to take into account what I know about these animals and what is known about their skeletons. This is the first one and probably the most iconic of them all: Spinosaurus. I will give regular updates here about this fun project, so stay tuned!

Hello! I saw this tooth listed online as a Suchomimus tooth from the Elrhaz formation in niger I wanted to know if it was a crocodile or a Suchomimus.

I've been playing with a cave art style, it's been a lot of fun to approach paleoart in such a different manner.

Hi there, I wanted to join this forum to learn and better understand fossils, where certain types can be found, and just enjoy everyone's finds and hopefully understand my next finds and share them here.

The silent dinosaur hypothesis - dinosaur vocalization in paleoart and past life
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News

Hi everyone. I'm doing a project on earthworms, and I was hoping you might be able to provide the names of some dinosaurs that existed in at the same time and in the same geographical locations as early earthworms, in periods of both extreme cold, and extreme heat. So for example: X Dinos existed along side worms during the extreme cold of period (or dates) X X Dinos existed along side worms during the extreme heat of period (or dates) X I've been cobbling together bits and pieces from Google and thought it couldn't hurt to seek the advice of experts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards Mike.

Hi all, Looking for tooth ID. This little guy was sold as an abelisaur but something looks off. Looks almost like a carch. Either way, at the price I'm more than happy with it just looking to confirm the ID. Quite a nice little thing. Kem Kem find in the Taouz area per the seller. Measurement for ID below in mm CH - 9.83 AL - 12.12 CBL - 7.41 CBW 3.27 Denticle on both sides are 13 (over 3mm since tooth is tiny). Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone! This is actually my second introduction. I had previously introduced myself on a post I created to find some help to an ID on a vertebra I recently purchased at a fossil show in Tampa. I figured I could use this space as a better introduction where I can focus on creating a better introduction. I figured by joining this forum that I could learn so much more about the fossils I come across as well as meeting those who share the same passion. I've always been interested in fossils. Particularly from sharks and dinosaurs. As a kid I loved watching things that had anything to do with dinosaurs or sharks including The Land Before Time movies, Godzilla, Jaws and the most obvious the Jurassic Park movies...yes even The Lost World (And I still love it). My fossil hunting journey first began while growing up in New York where I would find fossilized impressions of shells down near creeks. As I got older I grew to develop other interests but my love for prehistory has always been and will always be part of me. In 2016 before I finished college, I decided to become scuba certified and to venture to Guadalupe Island to see and experience great white sharks in person. I can honestly say that has been the single best decision I've made in my life. Getting certified to scuba dive has also opened more doors for me not only in the marine world but in the fossil world as well. See I live minutes away from Venice which is known as the shark tooth capital of the world and for good reason! You can spend just minutes scooping up sand on the Venice beaches before finding all kinds of shark teeth. And with a scuba certification you can find charters who will take you just off the coast of some of these beaches where you can find impressive megalodon teeth! One I always recommend is Aquanautz with Captain Mike. Be sure to check out their social media! Today I want to be more of an active member in the fossil community. I want to grow my fossil collection and learn more about specimens I find. I also want to learn more about how and where I could find more fossils so I can learn more about the planet's history. I think this is a great community and one hell of a cool hobby to be involved in. I think we all have that one holy grail fossil that we all strive to get our hands on and mine would be a clean T-Rex tooth...one can only dream right? But even if I got my hands on all the T-Rex teeth in the world, I don't think i'll ever stop wanting to collect, study and learn more about fossils or clues left behind by creatures from bygone era of history. I hope others in this community also share that same feeling. I look forward to interacting with you all! Also, just for show and tell...here's a photo of a 6 inch spinosaurus claw I picked up yesterday at the Tampa show yesterday!

Hello, I am a retired paleontologist who has been away from the field for 25 years and still look for fossils on occasion.

I got this fossil from a Wyoming in Tucson, Arizona. I was thinking it's a jugual bone from a Ceratopsian or a Hadrosaur.

Is it a mammal? Or dinosaurs? How do you tell a dinosaur from a mammal? Is it a leg bone? From Zigong, China Uncertain time Thanks for your answer!

Years ago I purchased a Triceratops brow horn that I was told collapsed when the jacket was flipped. There is some material that didn't look the same and I was wondering if it was material from another part of the animal.

For Christmas, I'd gotten a box of matrix from the Lance formation. I have some fossils that I am not sure what they are and would like to get your opinions. All of these fossils are from the Lance formation of Weston Co. WY. The first one is I think a theropod ungual, missing both the distal and proximal ends. Here are the pictures. The second one I'm pretty sure is a partial Edmontosaurus metacarpal. The The third one might be a ornithischian ungual. And here is the final one, I think that it might be a jaw section.

Non-Avian Dinosaurs May Have Had Bright-Colored Skin, Scales and Beaks
LabRatKing posted a topic in Fossil News
http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/dinosaur-carotenoid-coloration-10354.html Non-avian dinosaurs may have had bright color on their skin, scales and beaks in a manner similar to modern birds, according to a paper published in the journal Evolution. http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/2021/12/image_10354-Orange-Dinosaurs.jpg Link to article: Estimating the distribution of carotenoid coloration in skin and integumentary structures of birds and extinct dinosaurs [paywalled, sadly] My Uni does not have access- I'd love to read this one if someone has a copy-

Has anyone else here seen The Jurassic Games? I’m not saying it’s scientifically accurate or any of the sorts, but for a “B-rate” movie, it’s actually really good! I was really impressed with the graphics. I tend to really like “B-Rate” movies though.

A nodosaur/Ankylosaur ? Ungual from my collection . A dis-articulated Surface find from central USA in “Appalachia”
-
Hello, I recently acquired a small box of fossils from someone who had passed away recently. Inside were many fossils including those pictured. The only indicator of where they are from is that the box says "MONTANA". I can tell there are dromeosaur teeth, hadrosaur teeth, ankylosaur teeth and such. I know the man I got them from would routinely dig in the hell creek formation but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything obvious that I'm missing that would indicate that these fossils were collected elsewhere. My guess is that they are from the hell creek formation however. Any feedback is appreciated!!
