Not sure if this is the right thread, but, here is a bunch of specimens. All are resin or plaster casts of the real deal. some appear to have been painted (poorly) none have been stored correctly and any records of them are long gone. These are part of the collection at the University I work for. I'm not a mammal guy, but I suspect I had better become one quickly. Some have various collection codes on them, but I have been unable to figure out what they mean. These are some of the ones I am clueless on: Jokingly referred to as the "bonenana"...tusk? rib?

Modeling clay casts of big fossil molds...
Arizona Chris posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
ItHi all, Well, we've got large coiled fossil we were not quite sure of what it was found recently in the Permian on the Mogollon Rim. I have had a hard time seeing the right shapes with a concave mold in the coarse limestone, so we decided a final look at the cast would confirm what we suspected as for its identity. It worked! Ill tell you at the end what it was but first I documented the process of filling in the mold in the limestone with white modeling clay as to get a better look at what we had. Here is the huge spiral fossil we wished to cast: First, I wanted t -
Replica Fossils from Mistaken Point, Newfoundland?
JUAN EMMANUEL posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey guys I remember the ROM has on display a slab cast of Mistaken Point, Newfoundland fossils on the Dawn of Life Preview Gallery. Being an admirer of Mistaken Point is there a place where we could perhaps get these replicas? Or are collectors allowed to go to Mistaken Point and take casts of the fossils there for keepsakes? I understand no one is allowed to take fossils there due to government laws so I am hoping that casts are an excellent alternative for amateur collectors. -
Gastropods From Mississippi Ditch... Cretaceous... Not Sure Of Name.
thesterlingmutt posted a topic in Fossil ID
Okay, I found these in Mississippi Selma Chalk Formation. Gastropods.... not sure what brand/flavor/species... these are the predacious ones aren't they? Naticacea? Please note: lack of polish. Sometimes I behave, and don't give in to the Lapidary Force... Thanks The Mutt -

These are worm casts I found in the Cretaceous Gingin Chalk of Western Australia. -
Short Story I am photographing and cataloging fossil hominin skulls for my college, and I need some help identifying some of the unlabelled casts. I can generally get the species, but I am trying to narrow it down to a specific specimen that the model/cast is based on. Long Story I'm doing an independant study course at college, part of which is to photograph and catalogue all of the fossil hominin skull casts. It's the usual assemblage of Australopithecus through to H. erectus, Neanderthals and then Homo sapiens. However, a lot of the casts are very old and not that accurate, and most aren

Iv had these worm things for quite a while, i found them in a river in the UK, unfortunately i found the fossils broken in 2 in the water but the 2 pieces join together perfectly. Iv been wondering for some time what they are and also what their in as what now is rock must have been some soft substance because they are tunnelling inside what now is rock too, the entire fossil is a V shape, much like if you spread your 2 fingers apart, quite an unusual shape. There has to be over 30 of these things crawling around. Any ideas?

Iwent back down to Fl for a wedding and reception not really expecting a fossil hunt so I was accepting that no matter how hard a pill it is to swallow... We arrived in Mt. Dora area and checked into the hotel. Most of us avid hunters know to look down and around everywhere we go. I saw lots of river rocks in the shrub/landscaped areas. But most will know that a very remote possiblity to find a fossil in there. They did have an spot behind a fenced in area that housed the pool pumps and other pool clorine tanks. This area was locked and there was a layer of chunks of burden from probably a lo
