Found these specimens when hunting just outside Danville, PA in a roadcut near the Susquehanna river. The location is Trimmers Rock formation. I'm fairly certain that these are brachiopods but I haven't been able to ID them with any certainty. Mainly at that site we find beautiful Mucrospirifer specimens. However, these specimens appear larger and don't, to me, seem to be Mucrospifier. Most of the research I've done has yielded IDs that seem to be typically smaller than what I found. The first image shows the two parts together, the second shows them side by side with the top piece flipped over, the third shows the bottom piece and the fourth shows the top piece. My best guess is Leiorhynchus.

Hi all - having some trouble telling whether this is hadrosaurid or ceratopsian, perhaps due to the condition. All seller knows is Hell Creek Montana - no county. I'm not sure if that is so important here though as not looking for a precise ID. About 6.5 inches top to bottom. Appreciate any opinions on what it might be and any tips for telling the difference on future IDs. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have recently acquired this mosasaur jaw from an online auction. It is currently being shipped to me so I'll be able to take additional photos once it has arrived. The seller stated it was found in a phosphate mine in the Khouribga region in Morocco. It's 41 cm wide and 20 cm tall. I'd like to know if it's possible to identify the genus or species this jaw belongs to. I'm also wondering if it's possible to tell if it's an upper or lower jaw. Before I'd discovered this forum I made a post about it on Reddit. The people there told me the matrix is fake and there have been some small repairs made. What are the signs of the matrix being fake? And what are the signs it's been repaired/restored? Below are two more photos which will hopefully provide more information. Thanks a bunch!

Hello,I am new to this forum. I recently acquired this tooth not that long ago,I was hoping it would be a Tyrannosaurid.Then I started to have some doubts looking at other papers.I understand you can’t identify Tyrannosaur Campanian teeth further down to Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and etc. at this size. I just hope to find out if it is a Tyrannosaurid or some other group of theropods like Dromeosaurs. My original idea is that it was too large to be a Dromeosaur from this formation. So I went with the Tyrannosaur ID but I have doubts. Info: Tyrannosaur tooth? with a partial Hadrosaur tooth Location:Judith River Formation, Hill County, Montana “1.05” inches long. There seems to be no Mesial serrations or they are worn down. Thanks for the help. I’ll of course add more photos if needed!😊

Tooth measures .83 inches and wasfound in Asfla, Goulmima, Morocco at the Akrobou Formation. From what I’ve read this is either Thililua or Manemergus Anguirostris and the seller wasn’t 100% sure.

Hello, I am wondering what these shark teeth are. I am a new collector and I don't remember where they came from. But if you know what they are it would be very nice to know. Thank you

One video is in this initial post, several more are below as comments! I was struggling with pictures (IDs were all over the place and I don't have the experience to know enough about perspectives to capture nuanced features), so I just took videos of them all. If there's a surface you'd like a better view of, I'm happy to take another picture or video. Please specify which would be more helpful. I've also thrown the tour guide's ID in when available. #1 NoIdea.mp4

I do not know what exactly it is. Found on the beach, Kos island, Greece. About 15 centimeters. At the first glance it seemed to me like a kind of hoof, but since it was found on a beach, i started thinking that it might be a part or a cross-section of some coral. Any ideas?

Dear fellow TFF members, I purchased this one from Creede Colorado but it is likely it does not originate there. I understand not having a definite location will make identification hard. Thank you for your time and expertise. Measures a little under 3 cm.

Hi all, posting some of the photos of fossils I found at Turimetta Beach in NSW. Can anyone recognise any plants or animals in any of these? Would love to know some more about them! Thanks # 1 #2 # 3 # 4 # 5

I have a find from my hunt last Tuesday that has me stumped. As I took a break from pounding rock I took a walk around the site to surface scan the surroundings. I saw a slab with a high concentration of spiriferids. I decided ti try to break the grouping off the slab. This resulted in a Mystery (for me) brachiopods coming out with one of the spiriferids attached as well as some imprints. The item does not photograph well but hopefully someone can make out what it is. It measures 3 inches across. Found in Middle Devonian Hamilton Group Moscow Formation. @Fossildude19 @Jeffrey P

As I was going through my collection yesterday night, I came across this strange fossil, I don't remember where i found it, but it is from Florida, probably around Jacksonville or Steinhatchee. Sorry for the little amount of detail, it's around 1 inch long. Any thoughts?

I was going through my collection today, as I got some nice display stands that I was beginning to put to use, and remembered this fossil, found around Steinhatchee, Florida, I hope I spelled that right. I was thinking Camelid, but normally those seem to be section into 4, not 2, thoughts? (About 3/4 of an inch, almost 2cm)

Found on an embankment near Vernonia, Oregon in the Pittsburg Bluff Formation(which I believe is Ogliocene). I thought it could possibly be a Crinoid but the little nubs are confusing, and so is the ‘bean’ shape of the side profile.

Ficus sp. White Bird, ID Latah Formation Miocene -
Hello, I have this fossil from the Middle Ordovician Hope shales, Leigh, Shropshire, UK. It was labeled as a carpoid "Anfesta sp.". However I realize that it has complete bilateral symmetry and no plate-like structure, even for a carpoid. Besides, I googled "Anfesta" and that is a Ediacaran organism with triradial symmetry, so evidently incorrect. What could this be? I can't find anything like it online, but maybe a brachiopod internal mold?

Hi all, Would it be possible to help identify fossil in the photo for my son please. It was found on Charmouth Beach, Dorset UK last month. At first we thought it was part of a large Ammonite but the edges seem to pointy so wondering if it’s a part of a vertebrae? Any help would be appreciated as he’s only 6 and keeps asking me what I think it is and I don’t know 🤷♂️ 🤣 Thanks in advance!
