From the album: Cretaceous Shark Teeth
Undescribed shark from Toolebuc Formation, Australia. Albian in age. This tooth possesses folds along the enamel on both sides of the tooth (hard to see in photos), resembling those on Cretodus. -

Probably the best specimen I personally ever found of this elusive species. NOTE: I have since found a complete specimen! -
My first Metengonoceras dumbli ammonite at the Walnut formation. Although not complete, I've been searching this species of ammonite for many years. Plenty of Oxy's, but never ever found this one. This one measures around 4.5 inches / 114.3 mm.

I'm visiting family in San Antonio, Texas, and have been doing a little fossil hunting as well, including in a nearby creek. Based on a local geologic map, I believe this creek mostly exposes the Edwards Group (Albian age), though there appear to be some younger (Cenomanian age) rocks from the Del Rio Formation mixed in as well, based on an Ilymatogyra arietina shell that I found a couple of days ago. This creek isn't very fossiliferous. In about 3 hours of searching, I've only found a single I. arietina and a few small shell impressions in rocks. However, today, I also found the rock below an

Fossil hunting trip to Cap Blanc Nez (Cretaceous of France)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone, Last week after getting lots of recommendations from people I spend a couple of days at Cap Blanc Nez in France to look for some fossils. And while it wasn't to most bountyfull hunt I did have a lot of fun and I was very pleased with the little finds that I managed to do. We had very nice weather, it was sunny and the temperature was just perfect for fossil hunting, and the cliffs and beach (and landscape overall) were absolutely stunning. The fossils in Cap Blanc Nez date back to the Cretaceous and there are deposits from the Turonian, Cenoma -
While I was sorting through my collection of croc fossils, I came across these Elrhaz Formation teeth I bought 6 months ago and never did figure out what they were. I assume they are croc and not some kind of fish, though I could be wrong. I've never seen these apart from the one source I purchased them from. I've been told they were Sarcosuchus, then Kaprosuchus, then Suchomimus. Pretty sure it's not Sarcosuchus, and the images I can find of Kaprosuchus don't seem to match. Suchomimus, I don't know, but my gut feeling is, no, I've seen dozens of Suchomimus and fake-Sucho crocs, an

Dear forumers. Need your help with ID of this ammonite. D about 4cm. Cretaceous, albian.

Hi guys, weird question here, I have done some digging but I can’t for the life of me find any decent references to this shark. I guess this is what happens when you fall into the trap of taxonomic collecting lol I’ve been looking at otodus recently and seeing as paleogenotodus is synonymous, it caught my attention. Last question, I wonder if anyone on this forum has actually seen a fossil of this shark? Anyway thanks for your help Also while we’re on the subject of otodus, does anyone have any info or examples of O.limhammensis or O. Poseidoni, thanks again

Hi everyone! Found these two specimens in the Upper Albian Burim formation in Ukraine. Would appreciate any help with ID! 1. So this 1.2 cm tooth is as basic as they get - no carinae, no enamel ornamentation (enamel is there by the way), circular cross section and this really weird apical twist. When I found it in the sieve I thought it was a Polycotylid plesiosaur, but lack of striations is not typical of plesiosaurs. Can't find a large fish without carinae either (Icthyodectids, Enchodontids, Protosphyraena, Pachyrhizodus and other pachycormids all have carinae), although enamel

Fossil hunting at or near Fort Hood military base in Central Texas
Creek - Don posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Spent some time yesterday driving around Fort Hood military base area. I didn't go inside the main base, but there were plenty of public roads and lands next to the base that were not fenced in or restricted. I managed to find few spots that were exposed to the erosion. Most fossils were bivalves, gastropod and lots of broken oxytropidoceras ammos. Due to nature of the preservation most Oxy's were broken. West Fort Hood in the background. Road leading to Fort Hood gate. Exposed Walnut Formation surface. Grypha- 2 replies

Quote from Ebert 2014, p. 16-17: “The genus Belonostomus Agassiz, 1834b is one of four genera of the extinct family Aspidorhynchidae Nicholson & Lydekker 1889. The other three are the type genus Aspidorhynchus Agassiz, 1833 from mid to late Jurassic marine deposits of the Tethys (Cuba, France, Germany, Great Britain), Vinctifer Jordan, 1919 from Cretaceous marine deposits of the Gondwana coasts (Antarctica, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Columbia, Equatorial Guinea, Mexico and Venezuela) and Richmondichthys Bartholomai, 2004 from marine deposits of the Cretaceous (Albian) of Queensland (Aus
