From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
This tooth most likely belongs to the Raytown Limestone member of the Iola Limestone formation. I found this during late March/Early April. I call this my first Peripristis tooth as I happened to find one 2 hours away from this locality a few days ago. I will upload that one later.- 4 comments

can’t work out what this theropod tooth is. anyone got an idea?
pkedinofossils posted a topic in Fossil ID
i’m generally pretty good with identifying dinosaur teeth but i cannot find anything that matches this tooth, it’s roughly 2.5cm long found in kem kem morocco. if anyone can help pin it down to the species that would be great help. thanks

Is this complete, composite, reconstructed or fake? I am thinking definitely not fake, but always better to have second opinion. It is from Tiouraren formation, Niger. The sooner I get a reply the better, as it goes in 3 days. If needed, I can give more photos.

Help on identifying species, age, and region of this pelecypod found in Michigan, US?
Zippy.Shrimp.Feet posted a topic in Fossil ID
I recently found a large stone hosting many of these pelecypods. I assume this is a limestone, as it has a slight reaction to acid, and there didn't seem to be any other super identifiable fossils, aside from some possible crinoid remnants. Its hinge is located far off to the side. These were found from rock placed along the Saginaw River in a small park in Michigan, so I can't say they were naturally from this area, but are local to Michigan. The ones I found range in size from about 25mm to 57mm. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone has any insight on the possible species, geological age, and where they might have originated from in the state? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided..thumb.jpg.6360f52d61816c80248b8c39c7192d1a.jpg)

Hello! Thanks for allowing me to join. I'm a major rock hound. I live West of Ft Worth Texas. I found this after a heavy rain in my yard. I literally live on top of a rock. I have many arrowheads and fossils and petrified woods. Any idea what this could be? It is totally different from any other one.

Real or fake spinosaurus sacrum
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone I've been offered this sacral vert from the kem kem formation. The seller said its from a spinosaurus. He said he was told by one of his follower who was a paleontologist that this sacral vert was from spinosaurus and he said that he also did a bit of study to confirm that it was from spinosaurus. I think the paleontologist used the 2 sacral vert from the destroyed holotype for comparison. The seller also said that there were no restoration done on this fossil

Hi Friends. I would really appreciate if you could answer a fossil question for me. I purchased a Bolivian fossil from someone in Bolivia. They said it was a crinoid, but could not provide any other details. I wonder if anyone has any idea what its genus and species is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quil.

Just wondering everyone's thoughts on the I.D of this. Seller states that is was found in the Hell Creek Formation, Garfield County, Montana. Says it was a surface/close to surface find. Measures just a little under an inch straight-line. Theses are the best pictures that were sent to me sadly. Been looking at it myself along with Hell Creek Claw guides and I can't put a finger on it what may be. Still new to identifying things.

A colleague found this on the Kaw River and I can't seem to figure out what it is. Thank you all for your help!

Hey everyone just wondering what this is…I found this in my back yard in Minneapolis MN. I don’t know if it came from this spot or if it’s from some flagstone I hauled in. But I noticed the large small shell cluster one first and said well, let’s have a look. I’m pretty sure I know when and what the small shells are but the other one I’m not sure at all. It from a split clump that I picked up. after submitting and trying to zoom in the pictures weren’t very good. You have to look closely all over anyway. It’s easy to gloss over. But there is stuff going on all over this thing. I’ll upload some better picture later when I can arrange a better setup

Hoping someone can identify this. Found while crystal hunting near an active coal mine.

One of my best beach finds here in Delaware. Curious as to how old and strange that the shell develop these green crystalline flakes.

Notice the symmetry and what looks like a spinal cord. Shell on top ? Beach on Delaware

Real or fake spinosaurus jaw section
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone! Ive been offered this "jaw section" from what the seller said is a spinosaurus. Is this true? Or is it a spinosaurus tooth composited in random piece of bone? This jaw section was found in the kem-kem formation.

Years ago, (More than 10 now) on a venture to Dauphin Island, AL I came across a deposits of shells, two of which were very surprising to me when I first picked them up. These particular shells were not surface level, but rather slightly buried under a few (~3)inches of beach deposit. When I fully brushed the sand away and got a full view of them, I assumed because of their shape and color they were particularly large modern shells. However as soon as I touched them I realized their weight and density were not that of shell, but much more akin to rock. I’ve asked as many people as I’ve been able to show them to, no one seems to have any understanding (or interest for that matter) in the question. Do these specimens seem like they could possibly be petrified or fossilized? From my purely amateur and ignorant observations, it feels likely. I’d absolutely love to hear anyone’s thoughts and opinions on this! It’s something I’ve been very curious about for years, and I very much appreciate any informed discussion!!
