    I never never see this before  ?

    What ancient creature is this? it has small bumps, no holes so i don't think it's a bryozoan? I will appreciate if anyone can identify this little fossil for me. Thanks!
  2. I found this clam buried in mud along Joshua’s Creek in Oakville, near Lake Ontario, the hotspot of Ordovician fossils. Measurements are 7cm by 6cm. I’m particularly intrigued by the growth rings, since they protrude out rather visibly and considering I’ve never seen this in any other kind of fossil or living clam species. Can anyone help with identifying what species of fossil clam this is?

    Is this a tyrannosaur tooth?

    Is this a tyrannosaur tooth? Origin: Drumheller, Alberta, Canada size 55mm Also, is this tooth from an adult?
  4. Forum folks, I have a question. What tyrannosaurs have been discovered in Canada?

    Fossilized Tree Bark?

    I’ve had this fossil in the back of my case for a while, and only remembered it recently. It appears to be some sort of bark, but I am unsure if it is so. I found it in Nova Scotia a long time ago, and unfortunately didn’t think to write down location. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Unknown Bone

    I found this bone in a creek in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have asked some hunters and farmers what it could be but nobody seems to know. It appears old but modern. There looks to be a suture mark or perhaps an old fracture or some pathology. I would appreciate any insight into what bone this may be. Or where I might look to find something to compare? Thank you.

    Devonian bone plate Canada?

    Hi, Anyone know what this is? The provenance seems to be "Port Colboru, Ontario" of Canada? Thank you
  8. This is a rare find of dinosaur remains preserved with its last meal. Of the hundreds of skeletons of carnivorous dinosaurs discovered to date, only 20 cases retained traces of their last meals. This discovery made during a visit to museum collections in China brings their number to 21. https://www.mcgill.ca/science/channels/news/other-paleo-diet-rare-discovery-dinosaur-remains-preserved-its-last-meal-344495 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2022.2144337

    Donating to Museums

    I was reading through some posts talking about members' donations of fossils to museums, and was wondering how I would go about this, if/when I believe I have discovered something notable. Are there specific dates where fossils can be brought in to be evaluated, or do I contact the museum or staff by email? The ROM is the closest museum to me, and I would appreciate if I could find out more about their system.

    Can you help identify this?

    Just found this fossil laying in a rock quarry while fishing, looks like a bone running all the way throughout the rock? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it worth taking it home ?

    I found the following fossils hunting the Nicolet River Formation (Upper Ordovician). The layer where the specimens are is really friable, which makes them really fragile to remove, so I will have to remove a large piece of rock as a support. They measure approximately 2 and 1 inches respectively. I have two questions: 1. What is it ? 2. Is it worth taking it home?

    Trying to ID some colored spot on rock

    I don't know if they are traces fossil or geological in nature, do you know what these spots are? The period is Late Ordovician Thanks! #1 #2 #3
  13. Found in Alberta, Canada. Any help identifying would be much appreciated. Thank you !

    Another Quarry Find

    Found another cool piece at work today- is it anything special? It came out of a load of rubble from the Milton Quarry, in Milton, Ontario.

    A request for ID help (Canada)

    Hi, This is my first post so welcome to everyone Following are 3 stones I found along the shore of the Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. I will be grateful for your help in identification.
  16. Fall promises to be spectacular in many ways. If you dream of colors, you will like the following. I like fossil hunting in the fall, although it's not really hunting, the fossils are underwater so it's more like fishing. Anyway, this is one of my many trips to this place, it's not very far and it allows me to go for a weekend nature walk. This is Ordovician, the site is not as beautiful or rich in fossils as the other sites we see in this forum, but it is rich in brachiopods, crinoids, bryozoans and gastropods. This time, I chose a theme to showcase my special finds of the day. It's autumn in Quebec, we see all the colors! This year the province offers an extraordinary spectacle. Due to favorable conditions, autumn 2022 is marked by an extraordinary color season. This summer the trees have not been under great stress, which is favorable for an autumn with intense colors, the next few weeks should be just as much. Indeed, the season promises to be particularly hot and sufficiently sunny. According to the expert, clear nights will follow these beautiful days, which favors the coloring of the leaves. Enjoy! For more information about my hunting site, look at my previous post which took place during winter: The day I went fishing for fossils (part I) (winter) The day I went fishing for fossils (part II) (winter) This is my little special place were I go fishing for fossils

    Caddisfly Larva?

    Hi again everyone! I have a small fossil from a unit of lacustrine laminated silt from here in Saskatoon from the very late Pleistocene or early Holocene. The unit directly overlays a unit of till from the Wisconsinan glaciation. The unit contains carbonized plants stems, some of which are filled with wood boring beetle larva frass, diatoms, and burrows similar to Cruziana. In one of these hollowed-out burrows, I found this fossil, which is approximately 0.5 mm in length. It is composed of many extremely small carbonized plant fragments, all arranged horizontally from longest to shortest. I have no suggestions to explain how such an arrangement could occur through abiotic means, and the fossil bears a striking resemblance to caddisfly larva cases, many of which are composed of plant fragment arranged horizontally. I have attached some photos taken through a microscope lens on an iPhone. In hopes of accounting for the rough image quality, I have included numerous angles and degrees of brightness to help illuminate the arrangement of plant fragments. Any help confirming the caddisfly diagnosis or directing me from my incorrect guess to a correct one would be greatly appreciated!

    ID type of bone?

    Found washed out from a river bank in Northern Alberta. Wondering if there were any guesses as to what type of bone it could be, I was thinking some sort of Scapula? Might not be able to tell from the photo angle but its nearly completely flat except for the round joint at the end.
  19. Lisa Cormier, a teacher from Prince Edward Island came across a fossil that could be 300 million years old when she was walking on the beach at Cap-Egmont. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-300-million-fossil-found-pei-1.6564455 Parks Canada scientists came to investigate. The fossil has not yet been identified, but it is believed to be likely a reptile.
  20. Hi! I’m still trying to identify one fossil from a particular unit of Pleistocene/Early Holocene lacustrine silt from my hometown of Saskatoon, but I figured I would look away from it for a bit to try and identify another fossil from the same unit I’ve been unable to classify. I have two specimens, both apparently of the same species. They are both approximately 0.5 millimetres across. They are perfectly circular, with lines radiating from the centre and rings of alternating colours (possibly representing growth lines). One specimen is photographed dorsally, showing its circular shape, the other in profile, showing its umbrella-like, protruding outline. All photos are taken through a microscope with my best camera currently available, an iPhone! My main areas of middling expertise are arthropod and vertebrate fossils, so I have no idea what this is! I have briefly studied fossil foraminifera and diatoms in the past, but it looks like nothing I’ve seen in those areas as well. It reminded me of a small limpet, some type of seed or spore, or perhaps even a strange fish scale, but I have no formal suggestions. I’d highly appreciate any help! I will try to supply any additional information you may need. Thank you!
  21. Hello! Thank you all for taking the time to read this and (hopefully!) help me identify a very interesting find from Saskatoon! I was on a fossil hunting trip to a local exposure of Pleistocene glacial lake sediments in Saskatoon, and I took home a few samples of it to review later. While looking through one piece (the material is silt but breaks like a rock and is somewhat laminated), I saw this very strange shape. Attached are a few images, some simply in situ, others through a microscope. My apologies if the image quality is not ideal, I do not currently have any better equipment. There are a few images with my fingernail in frame to give you a sense of scale; this thing is very small. It is a kind of dome shape adorned with concentric rings of linked “nodes.” When looking at it, I knew it couldn’t be a pebble or partially buried rock. The thing it reminded me the most of was a Ptychodus tooth or other fish tooth plate, but the “dome” the nodes sit upon is penetrated open in one spot and is hollow. While I suppose this doesn’t rule tooth out, it does make me doubt that possibility. In addition, the nodes appear to resemble fish scales, especially ganoid scales, as some are rhomboidal in shape and all have the glassy coating those scales tend to have. There is also what appears to be a bone fragment near the dome. This is where my own suggestions end, I have no other ideas as to what this weird thing might be! Simple confirmation of the nodes as fish scales would probably satisfy me, but identification of them as ganoid would be even better. Please let me know if I can provide any extra clarification! Thank you!
