    Lambeosaurus skin?

    This is being sold as a Lambeosaurus skin section from the Judith River Formation, Montana. Size of the skin section is 15 cm / 6 inch. I have strong doubts about this, it doesn't look like other Hadrosaur skin impressions or even like any other dinosaur skin impressions I've seen. In my opinion the 'patches' are way too irregular in shape and size compared to other examples. Don't know what it is, looks more like something with drought cracks to me. Any opinions on this?

    Found one more fossil

    Recently I found a fossil on the beach of central Vietnam that on this forum has been identified as a turtle. Today we found one more fossil on the same beach that looks similar to the previous one. But I would like to ask you for confirmation. Is this a turtle or something else? Thank you for your help.

    What's this?

    Hi everybody, I found this last Sunday on the beach in central Vietnam. It looks like fossilised bones with some skin on it. Does anybody know what this could be? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Is this really skin?

    I am interested in buying this piece of what is advertised as skin. From South Dakota, pretty tiny piece (tape measure in inches). Seller says it is a positive impression, but the grooves are small. My only concern is the color? Is that usual of hadrosaur skin impressions? Im buying on the contract that I can return if it is not how I hoped, but I don’t want the seller to have to ship it only for me to return it so I figured I’d ask first.

    Dinosaur skin with bone?

    My son and I found this. Any ideas

    Possible Dinosaur Skin?

    Hello, I just acquired this specimen. It was listed online as dinosaur skin by the seller who found it on their property at the base of the rocky mountains in Colorado. I recently took it to online fossil retailer to try to get it identified but they couldn't give me a straight answer. One of their staff members thought it looked like Siderite but also said some aspects of it didn't line up with that kind of mineral. I also reached out to the Burke museum in Seattle and they said without more context (Formation, age, lithology) it is hard to say what the specimen you attach might be but they are still looking into it. Let me know if you have any thoughts on what this might be!
  8. This specimen of Keichousaurus is manually prepped. Note that there are some seemingly "remains" of skin at the stomach and pelvic region. Any idea if that could really be imprint of skin remains?
  9. Hi, I'm prepping green river fish fossil scraps. When I get down to skin/scale tissue it becomes softer and oilier. I'm using a pinvise and on areas like these and the usual gentle scraping has little effect. I'm not sure how to approach this material without damaging it. I'd love some input on how to proceed. Also, it seems like oil begins to permeate and darken partially scraped areas over several hours ie: backbone. Is there a special way to store the pieces in between prep sessions? Thanks in advance- K

    fossil of skin, plant, or coral?

    New member here. I have aquired a few fossils over the years that I need help with. This is the first one. I found it while digging in a yard in Tuscola County, Michigan. It is 3cm high and 2 1/2cm. Two sides are 1cm thick. The other two sides are 1/2cm thick. There's a chip in it that exposes the white portion.
  11. Hi! I've recently collected a number of osteoderm fragments and I'm trying to identify what organism (s) they came from. These were all collected from Holden Beach, NC USA. Holden has recently had the beach "renourished" which stirred up a lot of specimens from the Peedee formation. I think the majority of these are from a soft shelled turtle, but I'm very novice
  12. Hello there everyone! I found this in North Myrtle Beach, any ideas as to what it is? It's got some porous parts which make me think bone but I have no clue. Thanks in advance for any information!

    Maybe osteoderm fossil?

    I didnt find this, but inherited it from my dad who passed away last year. He got it from his friend,( 1990s i think) who passed away shortly thereafter. In 2011, it was put on display at the local museum as an 'indian relic'. It was also sent to 2 colleges for analysis. I was told that it was determined not to be man made which dismissed the artifact idea. This is what i can tell u from what little i know ofit.... it was found in Macon county, NC, USA. It was stored at WCU until I asked the museum to return the item last year. I think its an osteoderm fossil? Thanx for any info. Weight 50.2 pounds Dimensions 12" long x 9" wide x 6" deep approx.
  15. Hi all. Took another trip to our closest site yesterday - a Carboniferous marine deposit on the shores of the Firth of Forth, Scotland. Amongst the usual Bivalves and more familiar shapes (which I may need to ask about on here at some point - as I have only the wildest guess of what they actually are) we found the below. It looks for all the world like a coarsely textured skin of small scales. I'm aware that soft tissue preservation is incredibly rare, so am dubious - but I don't know what else it might be. Anyone able to help? Nb. I haven't done any work on this at all yet - this is exactly as found.

    Strange fossil

    Hi I live in the UK near the coast in devon and my bro found this. Its strange as its in flint stone and has a strange pattern !?
  17. I've been trying to do some research about actual gator scutes not ostoderms that we call scutes. I know that Dino skin can be found so can croc also? Would love to hear about this subject and see some great photos if possible too please!

    Exciting Finds!

    I found these dinosaur fossils near where I live. One is dinosaur skin and one is a footprint of a long-necked dinosaur. I already know this, but maybe someone could tell me how much they are worth? Sorry for the closeups - I'll try to go back later and get wider shots.

    Fossilized Skin?

    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?

    Nodule #7: Skin impression?

    From the album: Muncie Creek Shale Phosphatic Nodules

    I believe the dark brown may indeed be skin while the blue part is cartilage.

    One of my larger concretions, I find this one very interesting and plan to dig out the rest of it once I learn how to prep fossils from concretions!
  22. http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/dinosaur-carotenoid-coloration-10354.html Non-avian dinosaurs may have had bright color on their skin, scales and beaks in a manner similar to modern birds, according to a paper published in the journal Evolution. http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/2021/12/image_10354-Orange-Dinosaurs.jpg Link to article: Estimating the distribution of carotenoid coloration in skin and integumentary structures of birds and extinct dinosaurs [paywalled, sadly] My Uni does not have access- I'd love to read this one if someone has a copy-

    Possible dinosaur skin?

    Hey there. So my husband has some land and we have a natural spring creek and we go just about every weekend. I'm always finding fossilized coral and quartz. Arrowheads, etc. Well, yesterday I stumbled across something that looks to me almost like skin. Hopefully, someone here can help me out .

    Ray Dermal Scutes

    From the album: Gainesville Florida Microscopic Miocene

    The top two are ray dermal scutes, they are like scales embedded in the skin of the ray. Ignore the bottom two.
