I do not have any specific formation or location information other than that these are from Russia.

I just had the opportunity to purchase a kimberella fossil for a good price but backed out at the last second because the seller was based in Russia and I wasn't sure about the legality surrounding White Sea specimens being imported to Canada where I live. I'm always wary of fossils being sold out of China and Russia. Has anyone purchased White Sea specimens directly from Russia? And what is the legality of them? It's hard to find a direct answer online.

***Need professional help with Paleogene/Eocene shark teeth identification***
Morte posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone!)) Need help of paleontologists and paleoichthyologists with identification of eocene shark teeth from Russia. I'm not professional, just a fan and rooky, so I choose possible species options for every tooth, according to books and scientific publications which I have. Hope I make right something at least. Be glad and thankful if somebody will help me figure it out)).

Greetings from a novice amateur of paleontology from Moscow
Pauli W. posted a topic in Member Introductions
Greetings to the forum participants! My name is Pauli or Pavel. I am from Moscow (Russia). Newcomer to paleontology since 2021. I adored dinosaurs as a child! Now I have two small children and they also adore dinosaurs and help me look for fossils! In our region there are deposits of Carboniferous, Jurassic and Cretaceous, as well as Quaternary moraine deposits. Among the fossils, the inhabitants of the seas predominate (brachiopods, gastropods, belemnites, ammonites, sea urchins, sea lilies, etc.). I will be glad to share some of my modest finds. Below in the photo are some of the places of my finds (forest streams).

I found this fossil gastropod on an auction site and I really liked it. But the information is a bit confusing. On the title it states that it is Cretaceous but in the description of the seller it says "Cretaceous-Oxfordian-160 MYA". Oxfordian is a period from the Jurassic, not the Cretaceous. The locality & species (theres 2 species) Location: Kostroma Region Russia Species: Pictavia laevigata & Exelissa quinariia .

Rovno Amber (Mezhigorje Fm., 33.9-28.1 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Two pieces, roughly weighing 7 and 4 grams respectively. Both are mined from the Rivne region of Ukraine's Rivne Oblast, and had a little to no oxidized layer, in comparison to amber mined from the nearby (roughly 50 km) Klesiv Deposit.© Kaegen Lau

Rovno Amber (Mezhigorje Fm., 33.9-28.1 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Roughly 12g specimen of amber mined from the Klesiv Deposit of the Rivne region in the Rivne Oblast of Ukraine. It was originally coated in a 2mm red oxidized crust, typical of this locality. It is believed that the presence of this crust is an indicator that amber from this particular locality underwent little to no re-deposition throughout its diagenesis, and oddly contains the majority of described insect-included Rovno material.© Kaegen Lau

Rovno Amber (Mezhigorje Fm., 33.9-28.1 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
19.0g specimen of hand-polished amber from the Rivne region of Ukraine. It contains numerous botanical debris, although I have not observed any definitive insect inclusions. It is what would be termed a "run"; this specimen has over 12 successive layers that would have run down the side of the tree (the depicted piece would be properly-oriented if rotated 90˚).© Kaegen Lau

Rovno Amber (Mezhigorje Fm., 33.9-28.1 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
83.8g raw amber mined from the Rivne region in Ukraine. The "eye hole" was likely formed when the organic matter (i.e., tree branch) the resin encased, was likely dissolved/washed away during the resin's diagenesis and redeposition (Baltic and most Rovno material is generally believed to have been redeposited).© Kaegen Lau

Hey guys, My name is Alex, I'm from Moscow, Russia. I'm extremely amateur in paleontology so can you please help me to identify some fossils from my collection. I found these fossils about 20 years ago in a small sand quarry 130 km west from Moscow. If you search in google maps the nearest train station is: o.p. 133 km, nearest villlage is Blagoveshchenskoye and Kozino. The fossils were maybe about 2-4 meters deep in the ground (I actually don't remember). The dimension of the first fossil (black one) is 2.4x0.8 cm, the second (grey) is 3.7x2.3 cm. I've always really wanted to know what are these and how old they are.. Thanks!

I recently acquired two Cretaceous lamniform shark teeth that I'm trying to identify. The first one, from Russia, was sold as Cardabiodon sp., but I'm curious if that's correct or if it's something else. The second tooth, from Texas, didn't come with an ID. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! #1 - Cardabiodon? sp. This tooth is from the Cenomanian of Russia and was found near Fedorovka Village, Tambov Region. The tooth measures 28.51 mm on the slant and 14.91 mm at its widest across the root. #2 - Unidentified This tooth is from the Lake Waco Spillway in Texas, from the Del Rio Formation, which I believe is Albian in age. The tooth measures 15.93 mm on the slant and 11.15 mm at its widest across the root.

What is being called the best preserved Ice Age animal ever found anywhere is described in a recent paper. The internal organs are mummified while the fur is slightly ruffled.

Hi everyone I came across these teeth on our favorite site. It's listed as plesiosaur and ichthyosaur, but could the plesiosaur be a pliosaur tooth? The ridges are quite pronounced.. The teeth in this set were both found in the Seversk Sandstone in Belgorod, Kursk, Russia
