Hello all! I have already made a few posts but I didn't see that there was a introductions section, feels like it would be polite to drop an introduction here. I'm a hobby collector from Sweden with a meager collection of vertebrate fossils (which I am more excited about) and quite a few invertebrates, some Silurian and Cretaceous ones self-collected. Currently bogged down by university studies so can't afford to spend much time going fossil-hunting and I'm not as highly experienced as some of the people here so I'm more likely to ask questions than to answer them. The big dream is to eventually find a reptile tooth (plesiosaur/mosasaur/dinosaur) in one of the Cretaceous-era locations here in Sweden. Currently conflicted between dinosaurs and mosasaurs as my favourite extinct group of animals. I hope to upload some images of my stuff as albums but I can't seem to do that yet (too few posts?). I'll see you all around

So i fossil hunt mostly in beaches. Where the rocks and fossils are from denmark. Im in sweden but how can i date the rocks? When i dont know what formation they came from? And i have found sea urchins and crinoid stars. But can i also find teeth and bones? Mostly of the rocks are from the cretaceous. If i should look for teeth and bones should i look around the loose rocks for loose teeth and bones? Or in rocks? How does fossil bones look like when the water has worn them? Is there any chance of even finding teeth? Sorry for the newbie questions

How to find fossil layers in a igneous rock area?
Jurassicz1 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
So i live in a part of sweden that has no fossils. In beaches yes. But i wonder can i find fossil layers still? The museum said that there are no layers in my town. But i have seen many people find new undiscovered locations. So should i look in creeks? I have sometimes found flint in streams and rivers. I have thought about going to places where nobody really has been and look if i can find anything -

I have noticed when prepping swedish belemites that when i remove matrix and shell fragments small holes come up. And its very annoying. Is there any cause to this? Is it just how i prep? I hope u can see it in the pictures. Should i polish it? Hope that someone knows the cause

Found at one of my fossil spots in sweden. The fossils there come from denmark and the material is cretaceous roughly 80 mil. Atleast what the local museum said. Anyways what is this? Tried to scrape it off thought it was dirt. But i think its apart of the rock. Any ideas?

Found this in a Swedish beach. The fossils there are from denmark. The top looks like a Eroded sea urchin but not sure what the other one is.

Hello, friends. I received some crumbly rocks, that are principally crinoidal limestone chunks from Rattvik, Dalarna County, Sweden from @Kasia They are Late Ordovician in age, probably Boda Limestone, and when I boshed them I uncovered three brachiopods and this little specimen that I think is a bivalve. I'm leaning towards Ctenodonta, but I don't know my bivalves very well, so I am asking for help. It's 8 mm wide at it's widest point. Thank you very much for looking and elbow bumps for any suggestions. Tim @Fossildude19?

Hello all, I recently acquired this unidentified illaenid trilobite from the ordovician of Sweden. It's had some sloppy repair work (which I'm hopeful I can improve) but before I do I'm hoping someone can help me put a genus to it. It has a long, robust genal spine which doesn't seem to match any illaenus I've seen from Sweden. Any help is appreciated.

Hello! I found this pretty little thing at the beach today. It seems to be a tooth of some sort. It’s about 4 cm long and 2,5 cm wide. Would love any feedback I could get on what it might have belonged to. Unfortunately it’s very frail and broke as I brought it home, but I tried to piece it together for the photos. The first two photos are taken with microscope 200x enlargement. thank you for taking the time to look at it!
