I recently inherited this fossil fish from my stepdad, who traded a pair of moccasins for it at a rock show in the 80s. The seller claimed it was from the Green River formation, but given the matrix, color, and three dimensionality I highly doubt that. A quick Google search leads me to believe it’s probably from the Santana formation in Brazil and possibly a Rhacolepis buccalis? I’m a geology student but living in invertebrate country I can’t say I know a lot about fish identification I’m happy to add more pictures as needed or provide what little info I can. Thanks in advance!

The attached paper describes a new Abelisaurid from the lower Cretaceous of Brazil: Spectrovenator ragei . Its a good paper to keep as a reference source when trying to identify material from other geographic areas like Morocco http://sciencepress.mnhn.fr/fr/periodiques/comptes-rendus-palevol/19/6

Brazil has some of the most incredible fossils in the world, and I feel not enough appreciation is given, especially to the fish of the Crato Formation! I have briefly been obsessed with the fossils from Brazil as I purchased my first and only fish from there, a small Dastilbe! With the import ban these fish are becoming rarer and rarer I would love to see what some of the older people got while the market was still open! I would also be interested in seeing the isolated teeth from the Spinosaurid from Crato!

Crato Formation Turtle
Mioplosus_Lover24 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I saw this while I was searching for Crato Formation fish for sale and I found this turtle that sold quite awhile ago online. On closer inspection it looks carved and painted on, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought!

Just got this 20cm long fish fossil labled as from the santana formation brazil. Does anybody have an idea about the species? Thanks!

Members, during a trip to Brazil almost 20 years ago, I purchased this composit of 4 different fossilized fish. The fossils of the fish look authentic and I tried to take photos to demonstate the relief of each fish. But I beleive they were "arranged" into this one piece. Not sure if and how getting 4 fossils into one piece is done. I am more interested in knowing if the fish are indeed authentic and what the individual species of each are? Also, is it possible to gague what period they are from? I am hoping someone will tell me that I did not haul this 10 lb piece back to the US in vain. Thanks in advance. I look forward to any response and hope everyone is safe and well. Respectfully, Dubs

Hello all. Any insight on this unidentified fossil, originally from Brazil (old collection). I'm presuming the Santana Formation, given that the matrix looks so similar to some insect specimens I've seen. It appears to be a string of small vertebra --- but beyond that, I have no clue what the heck I might be looking at. Please see images, which includes extreme close-ups. [P.S., this is the 1st of 5 specimens that I'm posting for ID today; I deeply appreciate any insight that you can provide]. With gratitude, Ryan

I am currently going through some of the fossils I bought when I was a kid. The fossils I am looking to potentially have ID’d are a few fish fossils that I bought from a couple museum gift shops. For this reason, I do not have much info on them which I realize could hurt my chances of getting them ID’d. I thought I would give it a shot and see if anyone recognized these fish. 1. Fish from Brazil during the Cretaceous 2. Fish of unknown location and age 3. Fish of unknown location and age

Good morning folks. I have what I believe is Vinctifer (Gar) species fossil fish. It was listed only as "Fossil fish, Brazil" and was located in Brazil. My research reflects it's from the Cretaceous, Santana Formation, Brazil. The fish appears to be "belly up". I carefully removed some matrix to see if the hidden portion was sill there, but gave up as the matrix is too hard. It will be glued back. Am I off base with the ID? Help please.

Hi everyone! I've been looking at this fossil and have been interested in acquiring it, but I wanted to post some photos and see what you think. Is it real of fake? Thanks for your time!

A new study came out about Irritator where they scanned the skull to get a brain endocast. The paper itself is open access and so are the 3d files! I guess I know what I'll be 3d printing soon...

Hi all, Dear experts, first of all I would like to acknowledge to everyone that keeps the Fossil forum alive ! It's awesome. Secondly, I would like to share with you what I have here, I took this egg shape rock ( at least I think it is a rock) back in Brazil, Peruibe close to Jureia Ecological State- when I was kayaking in 1989-1990 ....since them I've been carrying it with me and I always thought if someone could tell me if it is a dinosaur egg or just a rock. If someone can give me an expert opinion I would really appreciate. Thank you, Claudio

Dear all, Let me briefly introduce myself; My name is Marc, living in the south of the Netherlands, i'm 52 (not yet a fossil), I'm a chemical engineer working 5 days a week.... I'm new to fossil collecting; I'm a mineral collector but I recently purchased a collection of minerals among which some fossils. Most of them where labeled, except a few. I've attached a fossil fish and I hope anybody can help me with the determination. The label said "Fossil Fish, Brazil". That's all…... The size is approximately 15" (40 cm). Google search didn't help me solving this question. Thank, Marc

The first finding of fossilised plant gum has been found in the Crato Formation of Brazil. Belonging to the extinct plant Welwitschiophyllum brasiliense it is dated from around 110 mya. Here is an article about the finding http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/fossilized-plant-gum-08163.html The scientific paper is listed below and is open access https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-60211-2

What's the difference between Stereosternum and Mesosaurus?
glu posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello everyone, I've looked for a paper about mesosaurs from Brazil but did't find anything online. Does anybody know how can I tell the difference between the two species of mesosaurs found in those permian sediments (Mesosaurus brasiliensis and Stereosternum tumidum)? Thanks -
