Hello, I am going to purchase this lot that is from Richard's Spur Quarry and I was wondering if anyone on here knows how to ID fossils better than me. I've been looking at pictures all day but can't seem to confidently ID anything. I know most of these are probably Captorhinus, but are there any in this lot that look like a different species or a synapsid such as Varanops? Been searching for synapsid fossils forever and I really hope one of these is from a synapsid. There's 3 claws, 3 vertebrate, and 4 jaw sections. Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings if they all are Captorhinus, I think they're super cool too!

Reptile Trace Fossils Stolen from Capitol Reef National Park
Crusty_Crab posted a topic in Fossil News
Reptile tracks dating from 251 MYA from the early Triassic were stolen around 2017/2018 from Capitol Reef National Park, but only recently noticed. Hopefully the perpetrators will be found and the fossils recovered. https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1563/care-rfi-05102022.htm -
Hi - we have another curious find, hoping someone here can give us some insight on what this is. We initially picked it up thinking it was a small piece of petrified wood. But upon closer inspection it looks to maybe be bone or septarian or ? The dark outer layer has a reptile-like pattern on the top side, and a smoother (more weathered?) appearance on the underside. I’ve attached a bunch of photos hoping they will help. This was found on a beach in southern Oregon. It’s about 3cm x 5 cm. Thanks…

All that was on the label for this item was that it’s from the Permian age and from Texas. I don’t have any further info on it. Does anybody know what this is?

Dear fellow fossil huntersand fossil enthusiasts hello there. It has been a very long time since my last postI really had not much time to focus on this hobby of ours sincemy son was born. So he's now 3 years old and things are getting better, hahaha. So after this short personal note her is what I have to ask. I found this fossil pieceof bone. It is clearly a fragmet of something else, I guess from some kind of vertebra but I am not sure if it could be from some skull, maybe fish, maybe something else, I really don't know. I found this in a Pliocene marine deposit, I have found fish teeth and small bones in there but this is quite new. The ruler in the pics is in cm. Any help or hint will be helpfull and appreciated. Ask for any additional pics if needed. Paco

From the album: Burmese Amber
Parts of a small lizard tail and leg. Mostly hollow, but the distal ends of the tail and foot are preserved. My hypothesis is that the lizard body was partly captured in a resin flow. The majority of the body was then picked out by scavengers, leaving behind a resin cast of the body that was filled in by another resin flow. Scavengers were unable to extract the distal elements. -

I found this fossil in a pallet of rocks I got for landscaping. The rock came out of the Arkansas river. When you stick your tongue to it, it sticks as a bone would. I think it looks like reptilian skin. Could anybody help me out?

I got this partial crocodile Jaw. All the dealer said was that it was from the U.S.

Hello everyone! I have a somewhat interesting piece I’m trying to find more information about. I purchased this from an extremely reputable dealer in my location. Everything I have purchased from him has always been top tier. This specific piece though we do not know much about. Only where they found it. It was found in Wyoming in the Green River Shale. His collector identified it as a hypsognathus tail. The problem I’m coming across is I have had an extremely hard time finding much information about this creature and have failed to find many pictures of fossils from them. If anyone has any information please let me know. The “tails” are a couple inches long each.

Dear members: I wish I could say that I found this myself but I actually purchased it from an estate sale. There was no identification paperwork that came along with it but my own research online leads me to believe that it may be a Keichousaurus. I’ve examined the matrix carefully with magnification and I see enough continuation of strata from the surface down the sides and I even scraped away some matrix next to ribs to determine that this was not a fake or reproduction. So any help in confirming the identification would be appreciated. It seems to me that this is a pretty nice specimen and probably from China but I do wonder if it’s fairly common or if it is an example of a special specimen. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and I hope the photographs are adequate.

Hey all! I’ve got a piece I’ve been looking at and considering purchasing when I have the funds. It’s marked as a Mosasaur rear jaw section, and it’s not reading to me as such, but I still have an interest in bones from the area so I figured it was worth a shot having the experts look at it. I’m hoping to improve my fossil preparation skills and I’m interested in doing some restorative work on some less special pieces.
