8cm. nicolletii zone Maastrichtian Late Cretaceous. I picked this up for a song recently on our favorite online auction house. I had to finish off the prep and do a small bit of modelling at the venter. The seller had no idea about the location, not even the state, but that really doesn't matter to me. I'm just happy to be able to add another of these gorgeous ammonites to my collection.-

(Posted in SD forum as well, feel free to move) I thought this would be an appropriate addition- my hope is that this map will allow forum users to plan trips to SD! Threw this thing together for you guys in some spare time at work. The map shows the extent of common fossil bearing strata in the state of South Dakota, as well as some "no-go" areas- reservations and the like. If you guys want a certain area zoomed in on let me know! FossilsSD.pdf

First time or second time in my intire fossil hunting life where I canceled on a trip. My son is a bit lucky cause he has a father who has connections. anyways, he took off for several days and went to a few different formations and I have to say,,, did extreamly well!!! Here are some photo's of some exraordinary fossils!!! Just a few pics,, more to come. RB Holy Cow!!! and yes, he's got the other side to make this a very large and complete Sphenodiscus!!! A super nice spheno!!! This one is going to be freakin gorgeous!!! Gunna take some work but this is the color that is good as it gets!!! Plus lots more in the rock! This one is the one I want!!! This one is special and is a very nice female spedini and a very special nicolleti! along with some other stuff!!! This looks to be a super nice medium sized sphenodiscus!!! This is a part of a big conc from the Pierre shale. Lots of stuff in these! Same concretion. Same concretion. A puzzle but gunna be fun. A bit beat up on the outside of the concretion, but could be a super good b-grade ammonite!!!?

I aquired this rock last summer. Didn't think too much of it at first. Been working on it off and on for quite some time now but the more I worked on it the better it got! Believe me it took waaaaaaaaay too long! Im not sure but I think its hoploscaphites Nicoletti? Well,, and along with quite few little other squid critters. I was going to blast right through all the little stuff but decided to prep them out too. Not sure if that was a mistake or not. Because of those little critters it took me much longer than anticipated. But it came out purty dang good.. In fact,,, one of the best ive done in some time even though they are all small. Im actually quite happy with it. If I ever do sell this rock I might make as much as $8.00 per hour? Ha!!! But really, a super nice A-Grade multi specimen. RB

Hello, I found a fossil in the fox hills formation (Upper Cretaceous) around 6 miles east of Timber Lake, SD. I believe it is part of a dinosaur bone, or atleast a large vertebrate and was wondering if there was enough of the sample for a positive ID. The area in which I found it in is known to be a lagoonal deposition environment and I found the fossil in a thick bed of bivalves. Mosasaurs have been found in the formation but I'm not sure that this bone belongs to one of those. I tried to mostly clean it off, but there is still some encrustation.

Broke open a large concretion, here's what was inside. I really need to learn proper prepping technique, smash and look probably not the best way to reveal specimens. Any more experienced with suggestions for SD Fox Hills prepping?
