Permian Labidosaurus Leg/Foot Oklahoma
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello. I'm interested in a Permian Labidosaurus foot/leg. The fossil is advertised as being from Lawton, Oklahoma, Aroyo Formation. I am aware that this piece is a composite and that there has been some repaired bones. The size is not indicated. I'm wondering if these are genuine fossils. Any information is appreciated, thank you.

Good Afrernoon! Wondering if anyone knows if this is a fossil? I apologize if I am not posting in the correct area! First timer

Just wondered if anyone could tell me what they think of these pieces.

Not certain what this is. May be our vivid imagination, but to us this seems to look like a petrified lizard/croc head of some sort, with one eye intact. What interests me the most is the snake like skin. Feels like leather. The rock is very heavy.

I recently retired and moved to Pawnee, Oklahoma. With more time on my hands now, I would love to return to fossil-hunting - an activity I shared as a child with my late father. I had a wonderful Paleontology course in undergraduate school at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. During one of our field trips, I lucked upon a huge trilobite that our teaching assistant cleaned up and put in the university museum. Talk about beginner's luck! Please feel free to contact me to join your hunting excursions in NE Oklahoma - I'm a little afraid to be out walking around remote areas alone and would love to have the company.

I just got home from a fossil hunting trip to a site a few miles northwest of Durant, Oklahoma. Some friends own a small plot of land with a very shallow pond on it that just happens to be a good exposure of the underlying Caddo formation limestone and clay found all over the area. The limestone surface has been broken up a bit by natural erosion as well as by the initial excavation of the pond and construction of the dam, which is evident through a few scrape marks left by an excavator bucket. The site predominantly yields smallish (~2" in length) oyster fossils of varying quality but, there is also an occasional secondary species of small bivalve (Neithea?) and even less commonly, echinoids and turritella(?) casts, of which I only found a fragmented turritella cast today. Some of the oyster shells also have small holes through them, these might be due to worms, maybe? This is is the first fossil hunting trip that I've been on in quite a while and it's the first that I've documented for my Museum of the Cosmos project. I'll be 3D scanning the better fossils and hash plates I found today and uploading them to the Museum of the Cosmos Sketchfab account soon, along with a video on the YouTube channel and write up of the hunt on the main museum website. For now, I'm combing through literature to figure out exactly what species of Oysters these are (Gryphea, texigryphea...?), as well as the other bivalve (Neithea?).

This is the lone example of what I think may be a partial Turritella shell cast, that was found on this trip. -

These oyster shells have small holes in them that appear to tunnel through to the other side. Possibly the work of some type of worm?-

Durant Caddo Formation Pond Site wide shot

This site is exposed in the footprint of a shallow pond. The underlying limestone appears to have been exposed in the process of building the pond. The mud in between the exposed limestone is rich in clay and incredibly sticky. -

Hello! I've recently been sorting through some Waurika, Oklahoma Permian microfossil matrix, and I've been able to identify most of my finds (As a beginner in the Permian field, @ThePhysicist's Permian album really helped me) but some I haven't been able to pin down yet. I'd really appreciate some ID assistance! Let me know if you need better photos, my photo-taking ability is, alas, subpar. 1. Trimerorhachis jaw perhaps? Or fish? I've heard distinguishing between the two is quite difficult. ~2 mm. 2. A really strange texture, I was hoping it might be diagnostic. The other side is relatively featureless. ~3 mm 3. Another weird looking jaw. It looks fishy, maybe. (I included both sides) ~2mm 4. This also had a bizarre texture. A fish mouth plate? A bit bigger, ~5mm 5. I thought it might be an Eryops tooth but I wasn't certain. It has those kind of crenulations. ~4mm 6. Maybe a worn part of an orthacanth tooth? A really weird texture, almost perforated. ~3 mm 7. A really small possible claw? ~1.5 mm 8. Another possible jawbone? ~1.5 mm 9. I had my fingers crossed for Dimetrodon on this piece of enamel but I'm skeptical. It is pretty big though, (in microfossil terms, at least) almost 6mm. 10. Another possible Dimetrodon candidate? I'm doubtful for this one too. A touch over 3mm. Front: Serrations: The base: 11. Looks like a claw, but it could be a really worn piece of bone. ~2mm That's all, thanks so much!!

Found digging in luther, oklahoma known area for Permian concreations and horn coral fossils. Item found was cemented in sandstone after soaking for 6 months and powerwashing with 3300psi this is results. One had thought it resembled a permian basin sponge colony also a few other items found in the are of digging James 20230811_112646.mp4
