I recently came into possession of some fossil fragments of sloths and Mastodons found in Florida. But I'm having trouble figuring out what parts of the animals the fragments are from. I know the lower left is a Mastodon forvea capitus and the upper left is a sloth vertabrea i need to repair . What are the other two Sloth or Mastodon ? And if so what part of the body ?

Hi! There is a rock with fossils (?) my house. It's from my father, passed away about 10 years ago. I don't know what it is, but maybe it's from his China travel. I have searched some images of old sea animals fossil, but still don't have a idea. Is there anyone explain them? Thanks!

Found this thick bone piece in a new jersey cretaceous creek and wonder if its possible to maybe id since one side has a distinct rough texture while the other is flatter and striated, I would guess either large turtle, mosasaur, or dinosaur. My friend joked its a theropod maxilary skull fragment, but we all know around here that material seems close to impossible to come across haha. Interested to hear any other thoughts.

For many members who hunt certain formations or areas often, there are common fossils that can be found so often that they are often left in the field, or only taken in the best condition. These common fossils would often be considered beautiful specimens by others who live far away from the site. So show us what's common at your favorite hunting site, whether it be corals, crinoid stems, ammonites or petrified wood! As the saying goes, "one man's trash is another man's treasure."

Hi all I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sources- online or otherwise- for pictures (HD would be amazing) of plant fossils in various forms of preservation i.e. compression, cast/mould, permineralisation etc. Any help much appreciated!

As I keep digging through the literal tons of old geology and earth science supplies in the store room, I came across a large box full of about 30 of these old Ward's Science Education fossil sorting kits. They are all injection molded plastic, and were pretty boring. The boss told me to "throw.that.junk.out. NOW." which of course means I loaded the entire box into my backpack. Legitimate salvage is legitimate salvage. Anyway, in preparation for turning many of our replica casts and such into display pieces for teaching (and to make the earth sciences lab look cool...I decided to paint a few up. I'm pleased with the results. However, my matte finish sealer decided to go glossy due to a heavy hand on my part, but that is why I'm dusting off the skills on cheap junk before I get into the hardcore stuff. It looks like my dream of an ammonite hatband will become reality eventually, as these plastic models are much lighter and more durable than a ring of rocks around my Kakadu... Note: I may haze snuck a real fossil in here and there just for comparison.

Sales just concluded a min ago. I definitely wasn't expecting it to reach this insanely high amount. No word yet AFAIK on whether he's going to a private collection or museum Is this the highest a dinosaur has ever been sold for? I wonder what precedence it'd set for fossils and paleontology moving forward On the pro side, it'd encourage more folks to go out there looking for fossils and possibly finding rare and important finds. On the con, more fossils might be priced out of the reach of museums

From the album: Aurora/Lee Creek Mine Micro Matrix
This assemblage came from one cup (about 340 ml) of micro matrix from Aurora Fossil Museum. Oddly, they are generally much larger than most of what I found in the rest of the matrix. They are all from either the Pliocene or Pleistocene. See album description. -
This past weekend we went to Morris Island in SC and found lots of sharks teeth… Can anyone help identify the three below? The broken one looks line a piece of a Megladon according to pictures online. All 3 are about the same size. My seven-year-old found them and is interested in what sharks they came from. Thanks for any help! ps: chapstick in picture for sizing

Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie creek shale Hello! I was hunting in one of my favorite spots and saw a very weird structure coming out of a Muncie Creek Shale nodule and what I think it could possibly be is a piece of crustacean exoskeleton! If I'm lucky that is! I am not exactly sure why I know its different but it does not look like crushed shells from other brachiopods in the area and looks to be layered horizontally. My personal theories: Weirdly preserved Brachiopod, Crustacean Exoskeleton, Natural formation that I have not seen in the area before or something else entirely. I would love to know any information and would love to use this as a learning experience! Size: 3.4cm Images in their natural sizes (Not compressed): https://imgur.com/a/8c3o4Jd

So, I was bored one day and decided to head into my woods behind my house. It is an area named possibly after the squaw Indians. I obviously have ventured into my backyard woods many times and have found unusual things. I have been metal detecting and other things. So on this day I was looking for rocks to bust open or just anything cool. All in this day I found everything in the pictures, a rock with really rough garnet, and a 1900s bottle dump. What a weird day, I didnt know this area had so much history. I assume a glacial process carved out the valley as it is shaped like a V with the tips of the top of the V being the backyards of peoples houses. So I found this rock and bust it open after seeing shell imprints. Boom, brachiopods galore. I just think its really cool how you never know where a fossil may be hiding. I have many other chunks of this fossil aswell. I have not found much else other then the other quartz rock I believe to be coral that I'm waiting to have ID'd currently. I did find another rock that was like a sandstone possibly that also had shells and brachs but it was smaller and not as nice. I have misplaced it at the moment so no pic. For reference on where these were found check this Squaw Brook Rd, North Haledon, New Jersey. I wouldnt come looking for fossils as this is the only one I have found after hours of searching.

A beautiful small GASTROPOD and a nautiloid with an unusual form
PaleoOrdo posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
In my last fossil hunting trip to a late ordovician site in the Oslo field I found these 2 fossils. One with a small spiral form, size 1 cm in diameter, seems to be a gastropod, and the bigger one what seems to be a nautiloid with an unusual form, size about 7-8 cm long. Anyone seen something like these before? First the small gastropod or maybe it is a nautiloid too? A small part fell of, so one can see if it has a sihuncle or not, I took these photos of it with a microscope, the first most clear in the cross section: And here is the bigger nautiloid, with the (for me) unusual form:
