Discosauriscus partial skeleton- real?
Amontano posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Can anyone comment on this Discosauriscus skull and partial skeleton? I've seen a lot of painted "carbonized" ones but this one is wholly different. Just wondering if looks authentic to folks or any giveaways to being fake or at least heavily restored.

Juvenile Sclerocephalus from Pfalz- authentic?
Amontano posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
My friend is trying to downsize his collection and wondering if I'd be interested in purchasing his small sclerocephalus he's had for a while. Looking at it I'm suspicious about whether at least the limbs are authentic. Can anybody help by looking at these photos under white and UV light as to how much of the fossil looks original?

Fossil Amphibian/Reptile Footprint? Carboniferous of Rhode Island.
Dino2033 posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this on a Beach on the west side of Narragansett Bay. I have found numerous plant fossils less than 2 miles away from here and I think that it has some potential to be a footprint. The impression goes deeper where there would be claws and it appears to have 3 toes. I would love to hear what others have to say. It looks very similar to others that I have seen from the Rhode Island Formation (middle to late Pennsylvanian). I will provide more pictures if necessary.

Hi there everyone! Ive got a tricky one today. I came across this listing for a “Trimerorhachis fossil” and I was wondering If y’all would be able to help me properly identify the specimen and possibly identify from what part of the body it comes from. The seller specifies that it was found in the Ryan Formation near Waurika, Oklahoma and claims that the bones belong to a member of the family Trimerorhachidae. Permian fossils are personally some of my favorites, but I’m not completely able to distinguish what this fossil could be. My only guess is that it could be part of the frontal/nostril area of the skull seeing as there’s a cavity at the front and that the eye sockets of the skull point upwards and not forward, but I’m not entirely sure. I’d greatly appreciate any guesses as to what exactly this specimen may be!

From the album: Permian
An amphibian tooth from the Early Permian of OK (Wellington Fm.). They can be differentiated from similar Actinopterygian teeth by the lack of a conical acrodin cap (translucent tip), no "S" curvature, and basal creases which terminate well before the apex. The exact ID is uncertain, but it could be something like Trimerorhachis. -

I found this in a run off area among sandstone and limestone rocks. I’ve seen plenty of squashed frogs and that is what this looked like to me. This was in an area noted as Pennsylvanian series, Graham formation. I tend to see faces in everything, so I was hoping to get help in identifying this. Any opinions are appreciated.

I went on a recent fossil hunt in North Carolina looking for the cow branch formation. I found some fossils. It was a very quick stop, about an hour before I had to leave. I found what I believe is to be a footprint it reminds me of a tremnospondyl but it’s from the cow branch I believe. I also found some shells there, plant material, and pieces of what looked to be good footprint material but I wasn’t there long enough to fully examine. So here’s the finds from yesterday: Total haul: footprint in question: outline of footprint: What species was this footprint from? It’s late Triassic and I’m pretty happy to be finding footprints again these might be my new favorite fossils.

RED FLAG: fake insects and amphibians
glu posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
On our famous auction site just popped out some incredibly detailed fossil insects and amphibians. Although there are no info from the seller (who probably got them without being aware of what they are), those are unfortunately not real. The matrix is clearly a limestone from Solnhofen, easily recognisable by the floating crinods (Saccocoma) and by manganese dendrites. There are highly detailed insect on them that have never been found in Solnhofen (including a giant spider). Also the amphibian column is probably a fish spine. There are already some bids on them, but please be aware. Also let me know what do you think

I found this amazing fossil and I've just been so interested in it! I think it might be an aquatic reptile of which I can't remember the name of but it was found in a watery rocky sewer area near where I reside. I noticed it looked like an animal and took it home. I've washed it and took these pictures and really would love it if someone could help me identify it. Thanks

I was supposed to go to a Permian site in Oklahoma when the Paleontological Society of Austin went a few months ago, but I came down with a cold instead! Yay..... So, my friend brought me back a bag of dirt! Because I love a good bag of dirt! My friend warned me that they didn't have a lot of surface finds, so I wasn't really expecting much, but I was happily surprised by the finds! The color on these fossils is my favorite part- gorgeous reds and purples! I know what most of the finds are, but there are a few unknowns, so if anyone can ID, I'd be thankful! Also, if I mis-ID's any thing.... All of these are about 3-6mm except the vertebra Amphibian Trimerorhachis insignis 1. 2. Amphibian Eryops 3. 4. not sure about this one. I don't think it's Eryops. 5. I'm not sure what this is - a claw? 6. a decent sized vertebra - 1/2 inch 7. Orthocanthus compresus 8. 9. 10. I think this is shark cartiledge 11. A bit of bone? 12. And I have no idea what this is....a denticle perhaps? 13.
