Help me ID some POC bones! (Reptile or Mammal?) + Bonuses
AmmoniteDelight posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello again forum! Remember that bucket “goodie bag” I took home from the torn up Post Oak Creek a few months ago? I finally went through it and found some excellent stuff! (Im actually wow’d with some of this stuff because I’m just an amateur!) Surprisingly- I found tons of other stuff that ARENT shark teeth for once! I grabbed a 5 quart bucket and took a big shovel scoop of gravel/mud from various parts of the entrance of the creek where the construction was and some from the first sandbar. Im working on an educational frame display I might actually eventually donate (there IS -
Possible Minuscule Vertebra from the Woodbine of Denton County, Texas
Aidan Campos posted a topic in Fossil ID
I would really appreciate suggestions on the ID of this microfossil (vertebra?) from a portion of what appears to be a coprolite originating from the Woodbine Group (Cenomanian) of Denton County, Texas, USA. -
Hello. I found these on a Croatian island - they don't strike me as one of their regular Jurassic finds, as it appears to be more inside a fault of petrified red soil amidst the abundant limestone. They look kinda "new". Can anyone tell me what they are? I found them on two locations. Not a geologist, so no idea. Whale and other large marine life bones? Polished by the sea? After some seizmic event?

Hi I’m not knowledgeable in fossils, but I have quite a few I have found while mineral mining. I have come across my first bone fossil on one of our clubs private leases and wanted to share with you all to see if anyone could get me close to an ID. It was found on private property and is obvious it was pushed with glacial till in a creek in north central Ohio. We all usually find marine fossils and this one is not an ordinary find. Thank you all and enjoy the pics. David

Hello, I just started my fossil collection and am thinking about adding some stuff to it. I found some stuff Im considering buying, but since I’m pretty new to fossils, I need some help to make sure the id are correct and that their the real deal before buying them.

Hello everyone! Just yesterday by a river in south central Indiana I found this. It did not look like a normal rock so I decided to keep it. I think it is a bone, but I cannot tell what kind of bone it is or how old it is. Is it a bone and if so, what kind?

Identified by a palaeontologist as a hadrosaur vertebra and I would like to get some clarification. It’s 3-4 inches long and 2-2.5 inches wide. Found in Horseshoe Canyon Alberta.

I have no experience identifying fossils/bones, but while hiking near the Olentangy River recently, in Franklin County, Ohio, USA, I noticed what appeared to be a "thumb" consisting of three bones that appeared to have recently been uncovered as the dirt and debris surrounding the area where I noticed it was slightly disturbed. I've taken a series of pictures of it, and it appears to be possibly a thumb-like appendage, but the end bone is triangular and somewhat resembles a shark tooth. Curious if anybody may be able to identify what these bones may belong to, as I haven't the slightest clue.

Hi again! I have a few pieces I need help with. Some of them I'm sure they are fossils, other not so much. All of them found in Maryland and Virginia (US) by the water. Thank you so much beforehand!!! PD - Sorry about my 'useless' coin but I don't have a printer or a measuring tape. The coin is 1 inch / 2.5 cm 1 - maybe some skin? 2 - bone, any ideas of what it might be? 3 - This one I don't know whether it is a fossil or not. 4 - I think this is just a fun

I’m pretty new to fossils—I have found a few strays before. But the other day, I found what appears to be an entire fossil bed. It’s about a 150 square foot area, full of fossils, on a hillside ridge near the Whetstone Mountains, outside of Tucson, AZ. I don’t know if this sort of find is very common. But there is a layer with what I think are marine fossils—hundreds and hundreds of seashells. And then about 50 feet in elevation above that layer are what appears to be long bone fossils. Dozens and dozens of them. Most are about as thick as my fingers and the longest are about 18 inche

Dinosaur, Reptile, and Amber Collection UPDATE: Shelf #3!
Mousehead posted a topic in Member Collections
Things are getting pretty serious over in The Fossil Zone, so I cleared off a few books and replaced them with fossils. Who needs to read, anyway? Feel free to ask questions about particular pieces. Whole collection: The turtle skull is real, but the surrounding matrix has been stained by the preparator for better visibility. Some here might recognize the new claw that arrived broken in the mail There is a Vinctifer comptoni fish on the back right, along with a negative Grallator footprint, which I can't seem to find a good way to display.

Where are all the British mosasaurs?
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi all, While I'm aware that current Cretaceous exposures in Britain are largely restricted to the south and east coasts of the islands (see geological map below; source), significant marine deposition is said to have taken place across much of Great Britain from the Aptian onward (source). As such - and especially considering the richness of the record of the marine ecosystem during the Jurassic- one would expect an abundance of marine reptile remains to be known from British Late Cretaceous sediments as well, the epitome of which, of course, would be the -
As the title says. Perhaps a few members could meet up in central MS for a little show and tell, a little switch and swap, some coffee and introductions, etc. Maybe on a Sunday afternoon? Just a friendly, low stress meet and greet. Anyone interested?
