Ornithischian vertebra - Lance Fm. Thescelosaurus? Hadrosaur?
Opabinia Blues posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! This is a very worn, very eroded ornithischian vertebra from the Lance Formation of Wyoming. It was in three pieces that I recently glued back together, I found all the pieces wrapped in foil together in the box I brought back from the trip. It’s from my trip there this summer, though I don’t remember collecting this specific bone. My immediate thought based on size and shape is Thescelosaurus, though I have seen some small Hadrosaur verts that look kind of like this one. I just hope it isn’t too worn/eroded that no guesses at an ID can be made! Thanks!- 2 replies

Hey all, I've had this stone with me for over 20 years now and have always wondered if it was actually something or just a random luck-of-the-draw design on a rock. It was found in the Buffalo, New York area if that helps. Any kind of insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I picked up several strange "buds" in the desert this morning. I usually find small petrified wood chunks (possibly acacia) at this spot, but I have never seen this before. They really do look like seeds (like stretched walnuts). Found in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, UAE (United Arab Emirates). I think it is Miocene in age. (The first 3 look more like the familiar wood, except that they have weird small bumps on them.)

This here is a very odd partial fossilized something from the Upper Triassic Lockatong Formation of New Jersey. Not to sure what to make of it, it has a dark core atop with whiteish suggestive shapes. Not sure if this is bone, coprolite, plant or what not. Interested in hearing other opinions.

I am nearly finished with my review and reevaluation of all of my plant and fern findings from the Late Pennsylvanian Llewellyn Formation of Pennsylvania. I think that I have been fairly successful at identifying everything with their proper genus and species using the guide "Fossil Plants From the Anthracite Coal Fields of Eastern Pennsylvania." My hope is use this information with some nice photographs to put together an album under the Member Collection tab. However, one of the last things I need to review are my Pecopteris (or former Pecopteris) finds. I was wondering if any of the members with greater knowledge in paleobotany (@paleoflor @fiddlehead) might be able to verify my suspicions or offer an identification suggestion. It is possible that the ferns did not preserve enough to make a species identification feasible. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! #1- Pecopteris lepidorachis??? - Pinnulets on lefthand side measure ~7mm; pinnulets on righthand side measure ~1cm #2- Pecopteris lepidorachis??? - Pinnulets measure ~6-8mm #3- Left: Pecopteris lepidorachis??? - Pinnulets measure ~7mm Right: Pecopteris miltoni??? - Pinnulets measure ~1.4cm #4- Pecopteris cistii??? - Pinnulets measure ~5mm #5- Pecopteris miltoni??? - Pinnulets measure ~8-9mm #6- Pecopteris miltoni??? - Pinnulets measure ~1cm #7- Acitheca polymorpha??? - Pinnulets measure ~9mm #8- Pecopteris arborescens??? - Pinnulets measure ~4mm #9- ??? - Pinnulets measure ~6mm #10- Pecopteris miltoni??? - Pinnulets measure ~1.5-2cm #11- Lobatopteris lamuriana??? - Pinnulets measure ~1.3cm #12- Lobatopteris lamuriana??? - Pinnulets measure ~1cm #13- Pecopteris miltoni??? - Pinnulets measure ~7mm

I found this coral several months ago in the Late Mississippian Mauch Chunk Group of West Virginia. I admit that it is a worn example, but it is the only Carboniferous tabulate coral that I have found so far. My initial guess is Michelinia sp. Is there enough there to make an identification? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello again! I received another trade today and was told this was a fossil found at Lake Michigan. I'm not entirely sure it's actually a fossil and I definitely don't know what it is if it does happen to be a fossil. I couldn't capture it with the camera but when I rotate it there are tiny glittery areas on some of the surface.

San Antonio, Tx I just pulled up this piece, which at first I thought maybe it was a mud crack. Its stinks like sea water, hardened on the outside and sounds like porcelain when you tap it. Then below it, the material is very sensitive. Which makes sense to me. Why would it sound like glass?

Hey! I'm new to this, but I'm trying to identify this fossil. I think it is a brachiopod, but I could be wrong. It is 20mm wide. Do you have any idea about the species/genus/time period of it? - I would love to learn a bit more about it! Thanks in advance
