Hello, I recently discovered this strange fossil while browsing my collection. It is from the Kem Kem Formation and measures around 6cm on the longest side. I did some research but had absolutely no idea what that could be. I think it's also very difficult to determine, but maybe one of you has an idea. I would be happy to receive a few suggestions! On the left side (red arrow in the pictures) there is a 1cm deep "hole", a kind of bulge, but not broken out, but the natural shape of the bone. Many thanks and best regards from Germany

Got lucky and found this while cracking open phosphatic nodules! -
Hi there, this is was found on rock wall at a private residence. The rocks came from a farm in north east Ohio. Haven't found anything that looks like it....thankyou!

From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
The more flattened version and 3 extra fragments from another Petalodus -
Hello and good evening! I have passed this fossil a few times and it resides in a large limestone slab. I believe it could be a spine due to presence of Chondrichthyan teeth in the area and how it appears to come to a point. For reference the teeth I have found include teeth from Petalodontiformes, Eugenodontida, and other Chondrichthyans. I will note I have found some petrified wood in the area, but none in a limestone matrix so it could be a Calamite. Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie creek shale member

Multiple Phosphatic Nodules from Muncie Creek Shale that I could not Identify ( Missouri )
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale Specimen 1: Fish Coprolite? 1.8cm (nodule size) Specimen 2: Coprolite? 2cm (nodule size) Specimen 3: Fish Mandible? (2.6cm) Specimen 4: Coprolite or Maybe Braincase (I think it is very unlikely that it is) 2.8cm Nodule size 1.5cm (fossil size) Specimen 5: (2.9cm) Note: The placement of the fossilized material might be wrong as this was one of my first nodules and the fossilized material fell out. I recovered what I could. (Opened roughly 2 months ago) Specimen 6: Tessellated Cartilage with some Skin impressions ? (2.5cm) Specimine 7: Fish material? Thank you for reading and viewing this, I hope I can better understand these images so I can use them as references in the future!

Specimen is 7mm in size. I was told this could be Hamiltonichthys after posting it to fossilId -
From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
I believe this to be apart of a Petalodont root as I found the tooth in the previous image right next to this one -

From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
I believe this to be a Caseodus tooth but if this is the wrong, possible id's are welcomed! -
Hi all, had these in the collection for a bit but need help with ID's. These come from Big Brook and guessing they are assorted fish bones and possible turtle bones.

It has been 10 days since my trip to Wyoming came to a close. I have done a rough cleaning of my finds and will display some of them for you. To begin with, I had a continuing education class in Jackson. The scenery around the Tetons is truly breath taking. But I was eager to depart and begin a fossil hunting adventure with the 3 free days I had left. I love my bald eagles and found this photogenic pair as I departed town. My first stop was NE of Farson in an attempt to find some petrified palm wood. Here is the "road" which brought me to where I thought I should be. No petrified wood was found but I did put a few specimens in my bucket. I believe these are some algal structures??? They littered the butte that I was hunting on. This was not the start that I wanted, but just enjoying the openness of the Wyoming countryside made up for the lack of finds. I finished the day by taking in this sunset before departing. Tomorrow will be a new day and the fossil gods may be kinder, at least I hope. The next site is south of Wamsutter, and the hopeful finds will be "Turritella agate". This Green River Formation (Lamey Member) fresh water snail species is really Elimia tenera, not turritella. I must thank @jpc for directing me there without a hitch. This site appeared on google earth to be a hop, skip, and a jump from the gravel road. It is MANY MANY JUMPS!!! Had he not told me to continue until I saw these hills, I would have experienced my second failure. As you approach the hills, the road forks and the right fork takes you up on top giving you this view. UP top, Elimia are everywhere, for miles and miles!!! Every dark rock in this next photo' foreground contains them. An individual rock typical of what you see in the previous photo:

Real fish skull bone from the Kem Kem Beds?
msantix posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, Just wanted to check if this fish skull bone from the Kem Kem in Morocco is real or not? I think it is, but I wanted to get opinions about this fossil. Seller states that there is no restoration only a few glued fractures. It is 12cm in length. Thank you. -
Members, during a trip to Brazil almost 20 years ago, I purchased this composit of 4 different fossilized fish. The fossils of the fish look authentic and I tried to take photos to demonstate the relief of each fish. But I beleive they were "arranged" into this one piece. Not sure if and how getting 4 fossils into one piece is done. I am more interested in knowing if the fish are indeed authentic and what the individual species of each are? Also, is it possible to gague what period they are from? I am hoping someone will tell me that I did not haul this 10 lb piece back to the US in vain. Thanks in advance. I look forward to any response and hope everyone is safe and well. Respectfully, Dubs

This specimen is from Quqing of Yunnan Province, China. Devonian period. Any idea if it is a placodermi?

Hi everyone, I have some material from Peace River, Florida, that I think is mostly from fish. I'm a lot better with sharks, while I have some idea what these things are, confirmation would be great. This vert is about 1" - is it too small to be a shark? Would this be a ray tail barb? These look like barracuda teeth to me, though the 2nd and 3rd may simply be broken shark teeth Lastly, I'm not sure if this is even a fossil - 1 1/2":

Help with this would be great. Besides the knightia and rhacolepis

Location is in Missouri The area is dated to the Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale I assume this could be some part of a fish, as I have found other parts of them inside a few of the concretions from the Muncie Creek formation such as cartilage, or it could be some sort of crustacean part but I do not know what this one could be.

Hello again are these 3 in fact vertebrae and if so can you tell if fish, ray or shark? as always my apologies for a lousy iPhone 5 and my thank you for your help

I found this while splitting some Middle Pennsylvanian black shale (Carbondale Fm) today in Illinois. It certainly looks fishy, but I haven't seen anything like it before. Any ideas?

Hello and thank you in advance. These are two verts which I believe are fish. I am asking for confirmation of that (and if not fish, what?). And if at all possible what kind of fish. The big one is under 1/2 inch long and the small one is 1/4 inch
