North Central Arkansas; clam shell, but what compressed it?
casadelshawn posted a topic in Fossil ID
Got this clam with a mixed lot of fossils recently; this would normally go in the "leaverite" pile, but something odd caught my eye. I'm pretty good with Rorschachery, however, I'm wondering if this one's been bitten. It's about 5" long overall and has a line running through both sides that makes me wonder if something mouthed it at some point. It's most likely geological compression, but more eyes=better. Thoughts? Thanks! -
Hello, I have bought this ammonite, only knowing that it is from Montreuil-Bellay, France. To me it looks like Perisphinctes virguloides, but I am not sure, any ideas? After examining it nearly, I noticed a hole, that looks to perfect to have been made. What do you think about it? Ruler is in cm. Thanks!

I'd found this dinosaur bone on an online website and it looks like it might have bite marks. It's from the Hell Creek Formation of Harding Co. South Dakota. Here are the pictures.

Hello, I noticed on some pictures on Teeth in the past and recent there are allot of scratch marks. I was wondering what they are ? Perhaps I silly question, but im just learning as i go. Are these from excavating ? or did the Dinosaur did this by biting during its live. (photo by Roby)

Is this a fossil with a tooth indentation? If so what is it and what tooth?

Found this on the beach of Wildwood Crest, NJ this week. Interested in what the item is but also interested in what appears to be a bite impression. Not much to go on but any information or thoughts are appreciated. Kind regards, Sean -
Help! this Ammonite (Oxytropisoceras so?) is about 8 inches across, its from Texas, does this look like a bite mark? any idea what would have done the biting? I've done some searching but just don't seem to be finding this "type" of bite (maybe my daughter's 4 year old?)

I found this in Polk county, Florida a couple months ago and while looking through bones recently I found a couple things I hadn’t noticed and one of them was this small bone fragment that I think has a bite mark in it. It is almost exactly 3/4 inches.

I saw this Madagascar ammonite on website and wonder hole(?) On its surface could be a bite mark. Actually, i've never seen bite mark like this but i looking forward to any new information about it. Thanks.

I took some pictures of all the bison leg bones last night. After I was done taking pictures I was sitting on the couch next to where the were on the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something odd that I hadn’t noticed before. There are lots of chips and breaks on these bones and I have just passed them all off just breaks, however this one is different. Have a look and tell me what you think. It kind of looks like something took a bite out of it. This is the angle that caught my eye. It is the lower end of the femur. The lateral epicondyle. If the bison were standing

From the album: Permian era fossils
Yet unidentified Edaphosaurus pogonias bone from the Permian era Red Beds site in North Texas, with large unhealed tooth hole from what appears to be a large Dimetrodon's bite, from either the fatal attack, or post-death predation mark. -
From the album: Marine reptiles and mammals
A little collection of assorted mosasaur fossils from 2 different places that I got when I first started collecting. 2 different types of vertebrae, one is mosasaur, and the other is a questionable claim of mosasaur, a corprolite that was claimed to be that of a mosasaur, a tooth, & 7 rib fragments. 2 ribs have predation marks, as well as the large vertebra. The large vert has a round tooth indent on the very center. The 2nd rib down has tooth scratches along the surfaces, & 3rd rib down has a round tooth indent in the center, which is probably what caused a strip across the middle to -

Reverse side of the unidentified Edaphosaurus pogonias bone with an apparent Dimetrodon tooth hole. -
Hello to everyone, I found an interesting pattern cleaning an unidentified bone and would love to hear your opinion. This bone arrived covered in soft sandstone, according to the seller it came from Taouz, Errachidia Province, South Morocco. I identified it as a sauropod, probably diplodocoid but i'm only an amateur so I will love to hear what you think. after I cleaned the surface with a rotating brush it revealed multiple bite marks in varies size and depth. From what I red and saw online, I figured that these are raptor bite marks. Do y

I just prepped this Elrathia kingii I found last year. It’s more 3-dimensional than most of them. It also has a slight reverse C-shape curve to it. It’s left side was covered with matrix when found, but after removing the matrix, almost nothing was actually found under it. Looks like something took a big bite out of it. Can anyone hypothesize what the damage actually is caused by? Link to images: https://imgur.com/gallery/wzDoG

Hi all, I recently went to Sharktooth Hill and collected a few bones and plenty of teeth. Wondering if there are bite marks on this small bone. There are three deep grooves on the bone which I suspect are bite marks. May be wrong though.

I noticed that fossil dugong rib bones from Florida often have boring worm holes in them, though these are not predators per se, and have heard that shark marks can be found. Any other kinds of marks I should look out for? How common is it to find shark bite marks on the ribs?

Cervical vertebra of a theropod dinosaur (possibly Spinosaurid) with series of scratches on one side. It is likely that these scrathes are gnaw marks from different animals due to the different sizes of the marks. Location: Kem Kem beds, Morocco Age: Cenomanian, Upper Cretaceous© Olof Moleman

An Interesting Turtle Shell With Possible Bite Marks
-Andy- posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi all, I recently acquired a very nice turtle fossil (Anosteira maomingensis) from a local shop. Upon closely examining this fossil, I realized it has more to it than meets the eye, and I highlighted several spots that I would like verification on from you guys. Are those what I think it is? Two possible bite marks, a honeycomb structure under its shell, and its possible skull or bone material? More close-up pictures below. -

Framed Meg Teeth. Before people start going off on me hahahaha FYI, we DO know its not accurately depicted, we DO know they are technically backwards, we DO know we are missing some. This is an artistic representation for the customer representing a portion of meg teeth found in one hole!
