  1. I found them in a gravel in Kortenberg, Belgium.
  2. Greetings! I deal in decor (house/office), and have requests on mamonth tusks from clients in the USA, Canada and some European countries. My question is - is it generally legal to import pieces of mamonth tusk to the above mentioned countries? (not big once, small pieced which can fit on a desk/table). Will be very grateful for any information on this matter! Thank you, Mark.

    Gastropod? Speleothem? Rudist?

    Hello together, I just remembered an interesting specimen I have had for many years, my uncle gave it to me when I was a kid. Unfortunately I have no information on its origin. It has some structures that may be diagnostic to the right eye though. Some pictures of rudists I recently saw reminded me of its general appearance, but now looking at it again I wonder if it is a big gastropod columella. the reddish middle part marked in black is actually standing out much more than the flashlight-picture shows, with cavities left and right that may have connected behind before being covered in calcite. the lower left corner shows some structure, zoomed in on the second pic. there are also some bullet-shaped holes that look like negatives of belemnite rostra or maybe clam borings? (secon pic lower right) Hoping for your insight, Best Regards, J

    Miocene Horses

    I was answering questions on Horse tooth identification in the Netherlands, and thought of something that I really did not know. I learned the conventional wisdom. Horses started in South America, migrated across a land bridge to North America, and eventually crossed the land bridge near what is today the Bering Strait, into the rest of the world. Horses went extinct in the Americas. In the 1500s, Spaniards reintroduced horses into the Americas. So, How far back in the fossil record do Horses go outside of the Americas? I have no idea, beyond thinking we had Equus in Florida 100000 years ago.

    Cretaceous sea

    Hello all, One of the many drawings/art works of me. Black pencil and edited with pc. This artwork comes perhaps in a book that will be published in July/August 2021. The Cretaceous sea (Kreidemeer) of Europe (late late Campanian and/or early Maastrichtian, 73-69/73-68 mya). Kind regards and happy fossil hunting! Ruben
  9. Hello all, I am a new member and really interested in belemnites (prehistoric 'squid'). In the United States of America, belemnites (Belemnitida) can be collected at specific locations. I know that around Delaware (Canal) and New Jersey (Big Brook area) the belemnitellid Belemnitella americana (Morton, 1830) occurs. I am interested if anyone has some photo's of that american belemnite species. The Navesink formation and other Cretaceous layers are around 70-66 million years old. Is this correct? I have read that New Jersey was under water during the late Cretaceous (shallow sea). How deep was the water that surrounded New Jersey? (Big Brook area)? In the Netherlands, belemnites can be collected in South-Limburg around Maastricht and Gulpen (late Campanien and Maastrichtien). The Netherlands were under water (whole), Limburg was covered by a (shallow) sea. The belemnites in Limburg are around 73-66 million years old (some Belemnitella and Belemnella specimens are around 68-69 million years old). Only with very specific methods is it possible to determine the exact age. I have added a picture of belemnites that I collected in Limburg. They are of late Campanian, earliest or early Maastrichtien age. The species are Belemnitella cf. minor II (Christensen, 1995) or Belemnitella junior (Nowak, 1913). Belemnella (Pachybelemnella) obtusa (Schulz, 1979) can also be found but they have a somewhat different form and based on the literature many belemnites belong to minor II or junior. Belemnitella cf. minor II (Christensen, 1995) are quite stout and can be big (around 9.5-9.6 cm for the example(s) in the image). I know that complex methods are available to determine belemnite species (Schatzky distance, etc.) but sometimes, it is possible to identify belemnites from 'the outside'. Does anyone know why only Belemnitella americana (Morton, 1830) occurs in the above mentioned locations? Why are there no representatives of Belemnella? I find it interesting because in Europe during the Cretaceous there were two genus that lived in the (shallow) Cretaceous sea: Belemnitella and Belemnella. Kind regards, Ruben

    Irish Beach find

    Hello, I am looking to see if anyone can give their opinion on what this fossil is created from, I come across many fossils in areas i go looking for them but have not come across anything looking like this. It is approx 230mm in width from left to right in this picture and 200mm in height from top to bottom. Cant give photos from the back etc as it is on top of a large boulder. Hope it is something that jumps out for someone. Eoin.

    Another ID from Holland

    Hi guys, my last find an then i’m out for the moment, did my research, but at the moment I see shapes in every rock.. Can you take a peak if this is of interest? I Do see small shell shaped forms, but i’m not sure what the 4 to 5 round, and smooth impression are, they are smooth as silk, and vinger top size ( on boths sides present, furthermore the lobster red shape, that looks a bit lime a shrimp to me. Some location: Doesburg Holland, most likely Pleistocene deposit layer, exposed due to sand mining. i’ll post some overview shots, follwed by some magnified ones. thxn and gr J
  15. Hi all, just got into fossils as a hobby, please see my introduction message i just posted. As a MD i have some knowledge on bone structure and shape, ofcourse not perfect with animals. I’ve several fossils found by my dad over the last 20y and myself last months. Literally in the backyard. (<< Town in Holland aka the Netherlands, Europe>>) Crucial in this is area is used for sand mining. This has resulted in a large lake, with depts up to 100meter (200+ft i believe. The water is fed by an old river, called ‘oude ijssel’. I will split this in batches, to keep things orderly. thank you so much A: Egg? Was one piece but dropped it. B: vertebrae of what? Looks like bone to me, the verbebrea part. With clear distinction to what i believe is soft tisseu with skin ( 1 side)
  16. A friend has an odd fossil that appears to be a fruit. It's from a Miocene coal deposit in Germany. The tag says Magnoliaspermum sp. There doesn't seem to be much about this genus on the web though I did find a reference to a species, M. geinitzii. Is it a form genus for fruits that may be associated with magnolias or is it an extinct genus related to magnolias or something else? I don't know a lot about fossil plants other than the general history and I don't have a reference for it. The formation is given as Braunkohle Lignite but "Braunkohle" is the German word for lignite so I think there's a misunderstanding on that one. Jess

    Is this a fossil?

    Hi guys, I have found an egg-like potential fossil, but I am totally amateur to the topic yet a very intuitive person, and as I was googling how to know if it really is a fossil or not I have stumbled upon this forum and thought to start a thread. Please help me find out if this is a fossil or just a pseudo one

    Possibly European bone fragment

    Almost a month ago, trying to fight the boredom, I started to sort all the things that inevitably gathered in my basement. In an old box full of things donated by my granparents I found what i think are 2 fragments of bone, I don't know if fossilized or not. I've already called them but they don't rebember exactly how and where they acquired the finds. The only thing they say is that it was a gift from a friend they've encountered during a trip in central / southern europe. I know in the past they visited (apart from other localities in France) Romania, Italy and Austria. Describing now the bone fragments, I don't really know if they're fossil or more recent finds. One seems to be part of a jaw bone (the first 3 photos) but cannot identify even the family / order of the animal. The second one is a real mystery; it has a strange pattern on one of the outer surfaces and at first i thought it was wood. I think both of them could be mammal bones, but maybe I'm wrong. Many thanks to all who could help me out.

  20. Hello everyone! Like most Europe, here in Bulgaria the winter is also very warm. Today we had 16C with totally clrear sky, so I decided to go hunting on a placed I was gathering info. 150Km from Sofia to the North, is the village of Belotintsi. There is a small Gorge formed by a creek "Nechinska bara" and the outcrops are part of Jurassic of Bulgaria. My source was the National history museum of Sofia and some publications of professors found online. The initial goal was to observe mostly the area as I was little tired for climbing and not properly prepared in terms of equipment. The whole area around (Border with Serbia, Stara Planina Mts, Golo Burdo Mt close to Sofia) were the bottom of Tethys sea. Here is a general aspect of the locality. Next time I plan to go to the upper part of the formation (Oxfordian). Pictures numbered from 1 to 4 show some spiecements on the field. The rocks are rich in CaCO3 as they highly react with vinegar. The stones are easily separated with very light blows. Picture number 1, I think I forgot it there Pictures Sa-Sd: Macrocephalites versus or gracilis I think. Se: This big fella, sadly found in pieces. I believe it is a different spieces to Macrocephalites. Probably it was detached from a formation above. Sf-Sg: Some fragments Sh-Si: I gathered these only to try testing with preparation process. As a novice, I do not want to ruin something nice that was preserved for million of years due to lack of experience. Hope you like the pictures. None of the fossils are museum quality; nevertheless I really enjoyed the day. Wish to everyone happy and fruitful hunting trips! Regards, Dimitris.
  21. Hello! I am an MPhil student studying plesiosaurs, I am really struggling to locate Cretaceous aged specimens. Since I am based in the UK, most of the museum collections contain Jurassic age fossils so you can image I have an abundance of these! I thought it would be best to ask on the fossil forum since people from all over the world use this. Does anyone know of any museums in Europe or the US that contain large marine reptile collections that might contain a lot of plesiosaurs?

    Is this a ball joint fossil?

    I found it in Latvia (Europe), near Broceni, on my land. Excavator was digging pebbles and rocks for road repair, and about 2 meters deep I spotted this stone which looked interesting. Some of the other stones around contain small shell imprints. And at the depth of about 4 meters there is Zechstein rocks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechstein As I understand that means that millions of years ago there was a sea, where I am digging my rocks now. Please take a look at that piece of rock and tell me what you think, could it be a fossil? https://photos.app.goo.gl/VXCZtHJ1Jej9SiJy7 Thank you.

    Mammal teeth

    Hello together, here I have 4 fragmentary teeth and only a slight idea what they could be. Nr. 1 is the only one I found myself, in the gravel at teh rhine river. its relatively heavy and colourfull what makes me think it could be (sub-)fossil. Looks like a bovid or cervid to me. Any further ideas? Nr. 2 I bought on online, together with nr. 4, they where supposedly found in lignite. Nr. 4 looks like a tiny proboscidean to me (only a layer out of a tooth), with nr. 2 I have got no idea.(small piece of similar layer? Nr. 3 seems to be a carnassial, I think its from china. The texture may tell something to some of you? Thanks in advance for any information you can give me. Aloha, J
