Hi, I'm not sure what exactly this is? it is a strange fossil and according to the seller it is a Plesiosaur skull with a few traces of bone? and was found above the ground. Not sure what to make of that but I think I can see some tooth sockets and maybe the eye sockets (unless I am very mistaken), it just has me stumped! thanks for any help

Is it just me, or does this look like there’s a good chance that it’s either totally separate pieces with significant restoration connecting it, or even just quite a bit of fake areas? I feel like especially from the right side, it appears to be a huge amount of just matrix visible, and even on the left side a good deal of area that’s just matrix. I know that matrix isn’t unusual on pieces, and I wouldn’t mind small amounts of restoration/places of matrix filing in missing areas, but not large portions of something.

Hello and thanks for looking. I found this on a sandbar in barnegat inlet a stones throw from the Atlantic Ocean in New Jersey . Some type of land mammal?

I always have trouble telling if jaws are real or manufactured. As far as I can tell this looks real (but incomplete). Let me know if I'm missing something. Looks like there's some bonus verts in the matrix as well.

Hi I am hoping for a little help with this jaw I am thinking of buying please. Listed as Juvenile Woolly Rhino jaw, perma frost find. Has been cleaned and preserved. I have stupidly made a bid on it that if needs be I will reluctantly with draw if need to, but auction ends tomorrow night (Monday) so any thoughs or help is appreciated! Fingers crossed as I like the look of it. Have a sneaky feeling it might be Horse though! Cheers!

Hi friends! My friend found this while digging in a creek in Polk county, central Florida. Our best guess is horse of some kind? Sorry there is no ruler included in the pictures, but for reference, the white bucket in the picture is a standard 5 gallon plastic bucket. He thinks it's a lower jaw piece but I'm thinking it's upper. The pointy forked protrusion has me especially curious, as I have not seen that in the pictures I've been finding. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts and guidance Thanks!

After no rain for many months we got a big 13 foot rise last weekend. I was hoping that would wash away all the mud and uncover many great fossils. Unfortunately it was still few and far between. The mud has been halfway washed away, which is halfway to where we want it, but the fossils are still not uncovered. Here are a few of the things i found: A couple decent but small mosasaur verts. Also the in situ shots. Decent fish jaw. Not sure which species though. A cool shell from the grey shale zone. All I ever see are impressions but this came out whole with nacre. 1. Coprolite? People find it all the time but I just don't have an eye for it. However this looks like a dog just had a fresh one on the ground. 2. No idea. Looks like a modern bone but hard as a rock. Maybe it is just rock? 3. Last looks like a fossilized jaw bone but is modern unfossilized non-jaw bone. It is amazing how much it looks like the fish and mosasaur jaw i found earlier. Anyone know what part of the animal this is from?

I went to the North Sulphur River twice in October with little luck. The first time was after a rain that I thought would get a big rise but only got about a 1 foot rise. The second time saw about a 5 foot rise but each time the rain did nothing to wash away all the mud. It was easy walking because the river was so low and dry but no gravel bars as they are all covered in mud. I went to two different parts of the river as well as the feeder creeks and it was the same. Here are a few pictures of the little I was able to find: Some worn chunckasaur, petrified wood, pyrite sun (cool but common), a couple xiphactinus fangs, a decent mosasaur jaw piece, a piece of mammoth enamel, and a couple other oddities. 1. Some odd fish bone? 2. Horse Tooth? 3. No Idea. I would say fish fin but it doesn't have the flaky fish texture though. 4. Any idea what age and formation these shiny shells come from in the top left of this picture?

Hello! A collector from Brazil has shown me this fossil. Any idea what this partial jaw could be? It is from Santa Maria formation, Brazil. I don't know if it could be from a Dinosaur... it seems too big to be from a prosauropod... Could it be theropod? Or maybe reptilian or synapsid? Thank you very much.

These are all out of the same estate auction as my earlier posts. One of the members, found that much of the collection was posted on this site by the former owner but these weren’t. I sent him a message but doubt I will hear back given the nature of estate auctions. Any help identifying these is as always greatly appreciated.

Hello, I found this on my trip a few days ago to Hill Cnty, MT and need some help. It is a jaw, or tooth plate, that is 1.25" long. I wish the teeth were complete! I have provided several views but it seems that my phone can't take good pics anymore, I don't know what happened to it. It is annoying but these are the best pics I could get. Thanks for any help!

Looking for the following fossils (teeth related)
JorisVV posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hi everyone, I am trying to find the following stuff someone is willing to trade. - Mosasaurus partial jaws or matrix pieces, not repaired or restored. From Morocco. - Belgian Megalodon teeth - Mastodon tooth - Quality Spinosaurus teeth, larger ones. I got a lot to offer, mostly teeth and jaws from dinosaurs and ice age relater animals. -
Hello, I purchased a huge box of Badlands mammal stuff a while ago and was able to identify mostly everything. I had some trouble with these two jawbones, though. I'm not really expecting them to be anything surprising but it would help me to put a definite label on them. in both the teeth looked a little like an amphicyonid's but that might just be wishful thinking! Thanks again! #1 #2: For scale

Possible jaw I’d help? and is this a mammal foot or leg bone or just a whale rib bone piece?
AshHendrick posted a topic in Fossil ID
Found these in eastern NC river this weekend and could use some help identifying. It was in an area most likely Yorktown , found among great white teeth, a horse tooth, tilly bones, whale bone and some shell fragments. Lot of reworked material in the gravel. This item looks like the bones of the front of a lower jaw to me but these holes off to the sides confuse me - they are rounded inside like a tooth or tusk might have sat in them but the angles are odd - I could be wishful thinking here - just seemed out of the ordinary to me. Then the other is a bone it’s much lighter and the pores are much larger than the whale bone typical in the area and I can’t get the best photo of contours but it really looks similar to a foot or leg bone of a mammal I just don’t know what - but I’ll accept it could just be a worn whale rib bone - just gotta be sure, ya know? I don’t ever come across much mammal stuff so I’m struggling to say for sure and any help is appreciated! @bbostick your the main man I know can say if whale or not if you don’t mind sharing input!

Finally got the display ready for a large pliosaurus jaw section and tooth fragment (pliosaurus kevani) from Kimmeridgian Clay, Weymouth Bay, Dorset UK Smaller tooth fragment in individual case is Pliosaurus Ferox from Oxford Clay, Peterborough UK 160 million years ago attached close up pictures below thanks for looking! Happy collecting!

Hello I saw this jaw section online for sale, I was wondering what it could be from, the seller listed as albertosaurus but I highly doubt that for many reasons. Anyways I wanted to know what dinosaur group it may have came from, I was thinking maybe ceratopsian or hadrosaur? It’s from Judith river, I also was wondering how (if possible) you tell the difference between a theropod and herbivore jaw section. Many thanks

Hi all! What do you think about this piece? The size is under 2 cm. I'm a bit confused about the structure below the teeth (unfortunately it's shattered and only parts remain). It doesn't look like bone - smooth and transparent and also appears pimply . Is it normal? Middle Oxfordian clay, Moscow vicinity

Dredged from the Smallmouth Sands off Weymouth Harbor, Dorset. Specimen is from the Late Jurassic Epoch, Kimmeridgian Age Clay - between 157.3 to 152.1 +/- Ma (million years ago). Specimen has an exposed tooth (root portion) with enamel measuring 4.72 inches in length and 1.67 inches in width (see measurements all taken with digital calipers). Other measurements include 3.38" in specimen width (maxillary bone) Tooth position appears to be tooth #6 from the very tip of the snout, including the two tiny teeth at the terminus. This is based on angle of projection, texture, and the distinctive bone seam that is visible in some of the photos (#12 in particular) as well as the diagram of P. kevani. Tooth position is indicated via a red dot on diagram. There are also sensory pits (foramina) visible on the outer side of the specimen, as well as exposed bone on the inside portion. A few holes bored in the bone from some sort of marine organism (worms perhaps) prior to fossilization.

Pleistocene Juvenile Cave Bear Jaw
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is a Pleistocene Cave Bear jaw from Romania. I'd like to know if this is authentic and if there has been restoration? Thanks.

Hello, I have a mosasaur jaw that I wanted to see if it was real or fake. Most of the fakes I've seen were with both the upper and lower jaws. Thank you!

I was digging through old boxes of Un-ID'd material to look for something else and came across this jaw fragment I found a while back. It has no teeth, so I thought the chance for ID was slim. But it does have a distinctive morphology with a large foramen running the length, so maybe someone will recognize it. Boxes are one inch square.
