Hi guys, last week I started studying so I don't have much time at the moment and because of that I can't be very active here. Nevertheless I could go hunting last weekend (related to my eighteenth birthday (so why I am still a youth member?? )). I was in a quarry near Stuttgart where you can find fossils from the Triassic. Looking for bones and teeth in the "Bonebed" there is quite strenuous but it makes always fun! Especially if you find something good And my best find was this lungfish tooth (Ceratodus): Never found something like that before so I am quite happy with it! It's about 2.5 cm long and I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine! The prep work took about 1 hour. I can't really estimate how rare such a find is but maybe @Pemphix can say more! Thanks for viewing

Can anyone let me know what this is, I was given it by a guy on the Isle of Wight.

Hi, I found these 2 strange bones in a small miocene outcrop in southern california. I also found about 10 misc. shark teeth and abundant bone fragments. These bones are about 2cm long and 1.4 cm wide. What are they? Thanks.
