I found the fossil attached a while ago in Tyrol, Austria. More preciselly, in the valley of Brandenberg in which many beautiful fossils can be found (mainly gastropods and ammonits). I am having a hard time to identify the fossil below and I am also not so experienced. Could i be a crown of a crinoid? The size of the fossil is around 8cm. Unfortunately, the stone is very porous and it almost falls apart.

Someone recently gave me a beautiful fossil tooth from the Jurassic Coast as a gift. More specifics of the Black Ven Cliff between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, UK. Can anyone help me identify this tooth?

Hello again, Does anyone recognize this fossil? Found in late Jurassic rock of the Boulonnais, France. Partly marine and terrestrial conglomerate. Its symmetric and the underside is flat. I feel its either some sort of scute or a steinkern or imprint of something. But of what? regards, Niels

Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. The state of preservation of Magila is mostly poor, which becomes understandable when you consider that Magila was a burrowing crustacean living in the ground. Therefore, a more calcified carapace was not necessary. Only the exceptionally wide claws are mostly well preserved. These probably also served for digging. Diagnosis from Garassino & Schweigert 2006, p. 22: “Carapace cylindrical laterally flattened; deep cervical groove strongly directed forward; one or two carinae weak in antennal region; rostrum short and edentate; antennal spine well developed; pereiopods I-III chelate; pereiopod I larger and stronger than pereiopods II-III; pereiopods IV-V achelate; uropodal exopod with diaeresis.” Line drawing: References: Garassino, Alessandro & Schweigert, Günter (2006).

Hello everyone! My friend just found this one on the river bank. I just look at the formation there that is from early Jurassic. But about this species they didn’t find before so it not on the fossil list. As I just think this is Psiloceras because it look very similar to that species in Uk. Do you have any idea about this fossil please help me! Thanks

Hello everyone. I am sorting out some old finds in this lockdown period. This one was found in the Boulonnais area, North of France. Upper Jurassic, mainly marine sediments. I have always assumed this is a humerus or femur of a sea reptile with missing joints. Plio- or plesiosaurus. There is a big muscle attachment. Can anyone confirm or not? Regards, Niels

I went looking the other day and found these star shaped Crinoids. This rock is full of them It was located in the twins peaks limestone group of the Jurassic time. I believe it is from the species C. Pentacrinus. Is this correct?
