    Pentameroides subrectus

    From the album: Hamilton, Ontario Fossils

    Pentameroides subrectus (Hall and Clarke, 1892). Found at the Niagara Escarpment on a creek in Hamilton, Ontario. Reynales formation, Clinton Group. Mid-Silurian. This brachiopod steinkern has specks of pyrite on it.
  2. Anticosti Island and its numerous fossils were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on Tuesday. This is the third place in Quebec, after the historic district of Old Quebec and Miguasha National Park, to be added to this list of unique sites in the world. Anticosti has more than 1,440 species of fossils that attract researchers from all over the world. The study of these fossils has demonstrated that changes in climate and sea level caused the extinction of almost all ocean life on the planet at the end of the Ordovician period (between 447 and 437 million years ago).

    Canadian Tyrannosauridae

    So i recently aquired this little Tyrannosauridae tooth. Near Red deer river Oldman Formation Belly river group Southern Alberta, Canada I think we can conclude it at Indeterminate Tyrannosaur tooth? Opinions?
  4. Hello! I live in Vancover, Canada and I have no expierence in fossil hunting and has not found ANY fossil in my life. Maybe since almost ALL of you has found AT LEAST 1 fossil, maybe can you help me on fossil hunting location at Vancover? Thank you!
  5. Another day of great finds in Saskatoon! This time, some trace fossils. With my wonderful collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan's Museum of Natural Sciences still continuing, recently I have been very lucky to make multiple trips out to a beautiful site just outside the city of Saskatoon where massive deposits of glacial lake silt are exposed. This silt produces pristine grass and other plant fossils in abundance (I'd like to make a post about them soon as well), but also seems to be teeming with various invertebrate trace fossils. All are very small (under 1 centimetre wide). I've attached some of my best pictures below. 1 - 6: Overlapping Planolites sp. closeups 7 - 11: Edaphichnium sp. 12 - 14: Taenidium sp. closeups 15 - 16: Taenidium sp. wide shots 17: Taenidium sp. closeup

    Can you help identify this fossil

    Can you help identify the following fossil, it is from the Ordovician period
  7. Gorgosaurus sp. (libratus?) partial femur (Lambe, 1914) Tyrannosaurid theropod Family: Tyrannosauridae Subfamily: Albertosaurinae Genus: Gorgosaurus (Lambe, 1914) Labelled as being a partial femur (thigh, upper leg). Late Cretaceous (Campanian), 75.1 – 76.6 Ma Red Deer River Valley, Nr. Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. Unboxing my old collection that has been in storage for years and forgot that I had this (purchased August 1988) – labelled as being a Gorgosaurus sp.partial femur. I am assuming that the groove was for a tendon or blood vessel? It appears that fossilised / mineralised spongiform material is visible in the cross-section at one end – might this be fossilised / mineralised bone marrow or spongy (cancellous) bone? Areas of mineralised bone surface also appears to be present. Research suggests that it is likely from the Dinosaur Park Formation which is especially prolific in dinosaur remains and well exposed in the badlands which flank the Red Deer River.

    Trilobite Pygidiums from Tobermory?

    I found a couple of these while staying in the immediate Tobermory area a few weeks ago. To my untrained eye they appear to be trilobite pygidiums. Is there any way of possibly determining their identity? I took these photos around the time of discovery, and I can take higher quality ones if needed. Both specimens are 1.8cm and 1.1 cm in length.
  9. Crowdsourcing / help request! I'm putting together a review article for the fossil collector community on the Devonian rocks of the American midcontinent, which I've defined as the gray area on the map below plus southwest Ontario. I'm hoping to include a section in which I highlight the midcontinent fossils of greatest renown for each of a number of taxa (list below). (I purposely leave "renown" as a somewhat squishy quality open to multiple interpretations.) I would appreciate (1) your nominations of any midcontinent Devonian fossils of great renown that I have failed to capture in the list below and (2) your assistance in filling in the blanks marked with "????" Thank you! List is below. Microbes: ???? Marine algae: ???? Sponges: Formosa Reef Limestone, SW Ontario Rockport Quarry Limestone, NE Michigan ???? Corals: Widder Formation, SW Ontario Jeffersonville Limestone, S. Indiana Petoskey Limestone, NW lower Michigan Hyolithids: Arkona Formation, SW Ontario Tentaculitids: Arkona Formation, SW Ontario Conulariids: ???? Bryozoans: ???? Brachiopods: Silica Formation, NW Ohio ???? Pelecypods: Arkona Formation, SW Ontario ???? Gastropods: Rogers City Limestone, NE Michigan ???? Non-ammonoid cephalopods: ???? Ammonoid cephalopods: Arkona Formation, SW Ontario Pelecypods: Dundee Limestone, NW Ohio Arkona Formation, SW Ontario Rostroconchs: Dundee Limestone, NW Ohio Trilobites: Silica Formation, NW Ohio Arkona Formation and Widder Formation, SW Ontario Haragan and Bois d'Arc Formations, SE Oklahoma Non-ostracode crustaceans: Chagrin Shale, NE Ohio Arkona Formation and Widder Formation, SW Ontario Silica Formation, NW Ohio Echinoderms: Arkona Formation, SW Ontario Silica Formation, NW Ohio Thunder Bay Limestone, NE Michigan Graptolites: ???? Fish: Rockport Quarry Limestone, NE Michigan Columbus Limestone, central Ohio Cleveland Shale, NE Ohio Woody plants: Ohio Shale, Ohio Herbaceous plants: Grassy Creek Shale, E Missouri

    Does this stone contain a fossil?

    Hello all, I apologies in advance as I do not have any experience with geology (although I have family members who are geologists), nor I have I ever been fossil hunting before. I am interested in paleobiology but I’m only an art student so forgive me. Some context; I live in northwestern British Columbia on the intermontane belt. I was wading in the river near my town and came across this stone under the water. I was wondering if this is in fact just a stone or if it could be something more? The fossils I know to have been found in my area are mostly invertebrates like ammonites and bivalves as well as a lot of plant matter. This looked very similar to a fossilized lobster my friend has and that got me curious. *First two images are of what I found, last one is the type of fossil I’m used to in my area.

    Fossil ID - Grimsby Beach, Ontario

    Hi, went to Grimsby Beach and was looking at the rocks. Found some that seemed interesting to me, and thought maybe they could be fossils. Please let me know as I barely have any experience with fossil hunting.

    Help! What kind of tooth?

    Hi, Found this tooth on the shore of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada? Any ideas what it could be?

    Tooth or claw Ontario, Canada

    Good morning This was found along the water way of Lake Erie Ontario, Canada. Not sure if it's a tooth or claw. I have been told possibly from a bear but we don't have bears in the area so I figured it washed ashore from Pennsylvania. (Don't mind the hole, we drilled it to make a necklace for my son Lol). Thank you

    Is this coral ?

    I found a unique fossil in the Ordovician formation, but I'm unsure if it's coral or something else. Any thoughts or suggestions?
  16. Hi everyone! I'm moving from my current country of resident, the Netherland, to Canada. Through the years I've amassed a semi-large fossil and mineral collection, and I want to take some of that collection with me to Canada. My only concern is that I might run into problem at the airport, so I wanted to ask around here if anybody had any experience with air travel with fossils/minerals in the Netherlands/Canada. I couldn't really find any information about this from the Netherlands, and Canada just vaguely says "it may be illegal to bring cultural property into Canada, such as antiques or fossils". Would anybody mind sharing their experiences the've had with these countries? Thanks in advance!

    Fossil party aftermath

    Greetings, wise paleontologist! I've stumbled upon an odd mix of bryozoa that has left me scratching my head. Before I slap a label on it, I thought I'd ask the expert (that's you!). No brachiopods or debris in sight, so it's not your typical fossil party aftermath. Could it be the shattered remains of a bryozoa colony? Who knows what drama went down there! Care to shed some light on this puzzle? And, if I may ask, is it wise to cut this thing in half? If so, any tips on which axes to choose? I don't want to accidentally start a bryozoa brawl! Thanks for your time and wisdom.

    Fossil or just a stange rock ?

    Yesterday, i found this rock near a railroad. I have never seen anything like this, do you think it could be some kind of leaf fossil or just an interesting rock ? Found in Québec, Canada

    What has bones this thin and flat?

    Found North of Edmonton washing out into the river from the hillside. It's still bone, not yet fossilized but I am stumped as to what animals/ what bone is this thin. Thanks for your help!
  22. I can clearly see some sort of microfilaments inside but asides from that I'm stumped. Found North of edmonton eroding into the river. Any thoughts?

    Bison or Cow Molar?

    I was on a hike with my boyfriend yesterday along a lake in Central Alberta, Canada when we came across this bone in the river. I know some of the discourse of using the stylid as an identification tool to differentiate between cows and bison but I can’t seem to figure this one out! Please let me know!
