I don't think anyone has posted about this museum, but the Tokai University Museum of Natural History is a local museum near my family's hometown in Shimizu, Shizuoka, Japan. This is a museum that I visited a lot of a kid, but I was told that the museum as well as the aquarium here was going to close to the public sometime around March of this year? Haven't been here in like 15 years, so I figured I should go one last time before it closes down. You can also get a discount for tickets at convenience stores. It's not a huge museum, but there was some oddities. Also, some

Hello Fossil enthusiasts! Im new to this forum, and am already here needing help identifying a fossil! I recently came into possession of this fossil of a fish. While I initially believed it to be a member of the Knightia genus, I am now quite unsure what I have here. The man I purchased it from said it was from asia, possibly china, but I am unsure of the authenticity of that claim. I don't have a tape measure on me, but the slate itself is approximately 9cm long. Any help is appreciated!

Questions about any large and currently unnamed Ctenacanthiformes sharks known
Joseph Fossil posted a topic in Questions & Answers
As I have been researching large ctenacanthiform sharks from North America, I've been wondering if there are any known globally that are currently unnamed. I definitely know of the large Ctenacanthiformes Saivodus stratus (found in both what is now North America and Great Britain), the large Ctenacanthiform from the Permian Kaibab formation in Arizona, and the 'Texas supershark' (a likely large species of Gilkmanius) from the Pennsylvanian Texas Graham formation (all three as larger or larger than an adult Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias)). But are there any large ctenac -
Hi folks! Recently I found a rib from a Paleolithic site which dating about 21000- 10000BP. As the size of this huge, I don’t know if it belongs to the rhinoceros buffalo? Note: I try to put together with the vertebrae of bison priscus from Europe (TH8 bone) and it bigger.

Any identificationfor this Uzbekistan tooth would be helpful - UPDATED NEW PHOTOS
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Fossil ID
I came across this tooth recently, but I (nor the seller) can figure out a decent identification for it. It’s an unknown theropod tooth from the Bissekty Formation in Uzbekistan. This is what the seller said about the specimen, “This tooth is much different from other Tyrannosauroid teeth from Bissekty. Less compressed and more rounded with much finer serrations. I believe it may be an undescribed species of theropod.” Is there any way to figure out at least a vague identification for this tooth?

AJ the Tyrant replied to AJ the Tyrant's topic in Fossil ID
These are more pictures that the seller just provided me with to help better identify this unknown tooth. I made sure to acquire some much more detailed pictures of the denticles. -
I purchased these as Ingenia yanshini which I think became Ajancingenia, which then became and is currently Heyuannia. The formation provided is the Djadochta Formation, but that doesn't seem right since Ingenia/Heyuannia is not found there as far as I've checked. Unfortunately, there isn't provenance other than Mongolia attached to them to say whether they come from the Barun Goyot Formation where Heyuannia yanshini is found. While I'm not necessarily doubting the original ID, I just don't really know. I'm not expecting a positive or diagnostic ID to the genus level, but I wanted

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.

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

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.

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
