I was answering questions on Horse tooth identification in the Netherlands, and thought of something that I really did not know. I learned the conventional wisdom. Horses started in South America, migrated across a land bridge to North America, and eventually crossed the land bridge near what is today the Bering Strait, into the rest of the world. Horses went extinct in the Americas. In the 1500s, Spaniards reintroduced horses into the Americas. So, How far back in the fossil record do Horses go outside of the Americas? I have no idea, beyond thinking we had Equus in Flori

Psittacosaurus skull: Is it real?
Praefectus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the authenticity of this Psittacosaurus skull. The seller didn't provide measurements and stated the skull came "from Asia." I suspect this is a fabrication, but I would like to hear others' opinions. Thank you for your help.- 5 replies

Hello everyone, someone offered me this partial jaw. Clearly it was found in the Guangzhou province and should come from Taiwan. By the look of it I think it's a hyena or hyena like animal. But I can't decide if it's an adcrocuta jaw or a Dinocrocuca jaw. What are you opinion? Can anyone help me?

Hi everyone, I found a seller who appears to have gotten some fossils from a collection. He is selling this vertebra as a Gallimimus from Northern Asia. By North Asia the seller means Mongolia. Seller says it’s from a Cretaceous deposit that is 75 MYO. Not much to go off of but let me know what you guys think!

Several people pick Ankylosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Edmontonia, Polacanthus, Sauropelta, Hylaeosaurus, Gargoyleosaurus, and Gastonia when asked what their favorite ankylosaur is. However the scope of this question is to ask users what their favorite Asian ankylosaur is.

joa.13253.pdf The endocranium and trophic ecology of Velociraptor mongoliensis J. Logan King Justin S. Sipla Justin A. Georgi Amy M. Balanoff James M. Neenan DOI: 10.1111/joa.13253 " In life, the endosseous cochlear duct of V. mongoliensis wouldhave housed the basilar papilla—the auditory organ of tetrapods(Gleich et al., 2005; Walsh et al., 2009). As the length of the cochlear duct has been interpreted as a rough measurement of the basilar papilla, the length of the duct can be used as an estimator of hearing frequencies in non-avian dinosaurs (Witmer and Rid

This is a tooth I have purchased, and I was wondering if anyone had any idea on a species for this guy? The seller said it was from Uzbekistan, but the colors are very different from teeth I've seen from that area. Any input or information is greatly appreciated! The tooth is 2.75 inches long.

I have a specimen of a shark jaw that I am unable to identify. From a quick search, it seems that it might be a snaggletooth shark jaw, but I am not completely sure.

Here is another piece of my dinosaur collection - this time material from Eurasian countries. Unfortunately don't have any Triassic or Early Jurassic material, so let's begin with Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of Itat formation, Krasnoyarskyi region, Russia. Theropods are the most common dinosaurs from there, yet their teeth rarely exceed 15 mm in length. Here is my largest one - could be from Kileskus aristotocus, an early Proceratosaurid (ancestor of Cretaceous tyrannosaurs) and the only described dinosaur from this location. Here are a bunch of Kileskus te

I was walking along the beach in Hong Kong when I found these. They may just be ordinary stones, but if they are fossils of some kind, please also tell me what kind of fossils they are.

Hi all, I am noticing an increasing number of sellers (especially those based in Asia) who advertise on Facebook, Instagram, WeChat and other social media instead of eBay. Unfortunately, many of them do not use Paypal. As you know, not every payment platform has buyer protection. To protect yourself, please carry out these checks: 1) Find out why the seller doesn't use Paypal. Is it for a legitimate reason? E.g. a Lebanese seller can't use Paypal as it's restricted there. Mainland China sellers apparently, CAN use Paypal, so take extra care if they refuse to use it.

Your saying did I read the Topic correctly? Uzbekistan? Where is that? Is that a country? Dinosaurs were there? Well yes to all those questions. First: where is it? well its in Central Asia next to Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. I'm sure that clarifies the locality In case your still scratching your head here is a map of the region On the map all of the Dinosaurs in this post come from the Kyzyl Kum Desert. I highlighted the area on the map with two red lines. The area is quite difficult to collect but if you dare quite productive for Dinosaur fossils and meteorites.

I have two mandibles from Asia probably Siberia that I need help IDing. #1 is a hair over 4" and the most complete tooth has a pointed premolar. #2 is 6 1/2" and all the teeth are complete besides the first molar. It looks very similar to some deer mandibles I have but the teeth are twice the height and half the width. Thank you for looking! #1

This is an Oviraptor egg, Eastern Asia, 60% eggshell coverage. 80 million years old. It seems authentic to me, but I’m not an expert. Do you believe that this is authentic (and definitely an Oviraptor egg)? Also is this is a quality specimen? Thanks
