A very well preserved herrerasaurid dinosaur, Gnathovorax cabreirai is described in the attached paper. For us collectors it gives us clues around Carnian age teeth. Unfortunately most of the teeth available to collectors are Norian or earlier in age. https://peerj.com/articles/7963/ Unfortunately the paper does not do a great job describing the teeth, here is what we have: "All tooth crowns are blade like, caudally curved and labiolingually compressed. The premaxillay and dentary teeth lack serrations in their mesial margins. However, in the distal margin there are small serrations that form a right angle with the main axis of the tooth. In the maxillary teeth the serration occur in both margins."

Hi Everyone! I need help identifying a fish concretion from the Cretaceous of Brazil. I think it's a species of Rhacolepis but I don't know for certain. The thing is, I was given this by an elderly friend of my dad's over 10 years ago after this fellow heard I like fossils. He told me he got this at a flea market several decades ago and that it was from the Brazilian Cretaceous but he didn't remember what species it was. Then he moved away and passed a couple months later. Definitely one of the stranger ways I've acquired a specimen, but it's the best fish I have (it came with both halves and is pretty three dimensional) and I'd love to know what exactly it is. Hopefully the pictures are decent.

Noasaurinae represents an enigmatic group of small-bodied predatory theropod dinosaurs best known from the iconic Masiakasaurus knopfleri, from the latest Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Madagascar. This paper describes a new species from Brazil, Velocisaurus paranaensis . This paper might be a good reference source for material found in the Kem Kem of Morocco since Deltadromeus agilis or may be possibly related to Noasaurinae. Systematic: Abelisauroidea (Bonaparte and Novas, 1985) Noasauridae Bonaparte & Powell, 1980) Noasaurinae (Bonaparte & Powell, 1980) Vespersaurus paranaensis gen. et sp. nov.

Found on beach in Salvador Bay, Brazil. This is the best quality I could get with my phone. Photo with black background shows the curved part of bone well, note how smooth that part is. Color of bone in that photo is most accurate. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Dear all Would be great if someone could help me with this Fossil. The seller told me that it‘s from Solnhofen, and it was for a long time in a private collection. The only similar fossil I found, is a Mesosaurus from Brazil... Thank you in advance!! Megadiente

Hi. Brand new here. Over 20 years ago I had a Chinese business colleague who traveled regularly to Brazil. He showed me a beautiful piece once when I was visiting him. A while later he brought me this fossil as a gift. I’ve always loved it but know very little about it. I’m sure this is familiar to you guys. Anything you can tell me about it would be deeply appreciated

Rhacolepis composite?
ReptileTooth posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I've been offered this Rhacolepis, it seems it got broken and then repaired, plus it seems there's some paint shade around the specimen. Do you think it's a composite of two different concretions to obtain a fish with head and tail or a damaged genuine one? Thanks.- 7 replies
