A new paper is out online, if anyone is interested: Evans DC, Brown CM, You H, Campione NE (2021). Description and revised diagnosis of Asia's first recorded pachycephalosaurid, Sinocephale bexelli gen. nov., from the Upper Cretaceous of Inner Mongolia, China. Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences. in press. doi:10.1139/cjes-2020-0190. The renaming of "Troodon" bexelli as Sinocephale is the latest instance of an old dinosaur taxon being turned into new, because despite being minimal, the holotype parietal still houses useful anatomical data to distinguish it from other pac

Hi everyone, My friend bough some of Daohugou fossils for his museum and he asking to help for the ID. The only information that we got these fossils came from Nei Mongols, China. So do you have any idea about these fossil pls help us. Thanks for reading 1.

I went to a local fossil show and saw some highly priced insects too good to be true. They were. Some were done quite well but my $15 30X loupe (magnifying glass) really made the fakes obvious. I took these pics at the show. Pic 1 is presumably a Neuroptera on matrix. Pic 2 is the same Neuroptera though the loupe and you can see it is an obvious forgery. It has been painted. Pic 3 is an obvious painted insect on a piece with 2 cretaceous Lycoptera fish, raising its selling price at least 50 fold. The abdomen in this case is especially badly done. Pic 4 is a different kind of fake, it is an Od- 28 replies

Hey everyone, Via via I've bought this partial dinosaur raptor skeleton from the Jiangxi formation, China. Comes from an old collection. There is no more information than it being Jiangxi formation, and it exists of multiple pieces. We've got some bones, a claw, and a row of teeth. The big matrix with the claw and the partial skull + bones measures about 14 X 13 cm. Would anyone have a clue on the species of this Dino? If there is any more information you'll guys need, let me know

Here is an insect fossil I got lately. It is from the Liaoning province in China. I'll like to know what kind of insect this is. Thanks.

This Sinrapter is from Liaoning, China. It looks like it has been preserved very well. Any idea if it is a genuine one?

The sales description for this insect was mosquito, but I don't think it is. Looking in collections (insects) it has resemblance to stonefly. can someone tell if i'm right? or what inscto could it be? 1 ctm Upper Jurassic. Daohugou Formation. Inner Mongolia - Ningcheng - China. @oilshale

So, the fellow who I get some of my China pterosaur teeth from has offered me this fossil among a few other worn/battered/partial teeth. He can't place it--says it is possibly a tooth of some kind. It is Jurassic age, from GuangYian City, SiChuan Province. Unfortunately, he doesn;'t know which of the two formations from there it is from. There are two--Shaximiao which is a terrestrial formation and Zhenzhuchong which is mainly marine but has had prosauropod (Lufengosaurus found there). Unfortunately it is in quite a poor condition--but I am hoping someone

From the album: Fossildude's Purchased/Gift Fossils
Jianhanichthys sp. also known as Osteohilus sp. or "Chan Han Fish" Pliocene, Yichuang, Hubei Province, China Gift from my wife a few years ago - this fish is only about 2 inches long. This fossil has quite obviously been "enhanced". You can clearly see that someone used ink to outline the fish, and to extend the broken lower caudal fin. Neat specimen, regardless - mostly bones instead of scales, like many of the others I've seen online.© © 2015 Tim Jones

A trio of rather battered Oviraptor eggs
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, What are people's thoughts on these? Three eggs and one partial, plus some bits of shell. Given its poor condition, it looks ok to my eyes, but others know better than me. It's a shame there's not more eggshell coverage--but nests of oviraptors are always out of my price range, so this will be a more budget way for me to get a nest. Also, would these 3 eggs from a different nest that fossilised together? Because most nest fossils I see they are arranged in a sort of circular shape, rather than a big blob, Or is it just that in fossilisation they've been bundled a -
Sweet Chinese Jurassic Fossil Cockroach from NJ Fossil Show
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I just posted on some fake fossil insects out of China at a show. It seems only fair that I post on an inexpensive nice find I got at the show from the famous Daohugou site in inner Mongolia in China. They are sold as both positive and negative. Check it out. Just remarkable preservation. -
This fish is from Luoping, Yunnan, China. It is about 28 cm long during the Triassic period. Please help me identify which family and genus it belongs to. 1627652635291

Hi! I'm having trouble ID-ing this ~4.4cm long mammal tooth from China. It was labelled as Playbelodon, though the lack of cusps makes me doubt that assessment. I'm starting to wonder if it's a Proboscidean at all, and if it's an entirely different family of mammal alltogether. Does anyone have an idea on what this could potentially be?

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've started a topic on the forum; but over time, it has occurred to me how many of our forum members have spectacular specimens of Chinese trilobites. I hope to start this thread to showcase and celebrate the amazing trilobite fossils that come from China, contributed by no other than our very own. Chinese trilobites have been relatively underlaid in the trilobite collection world by the Moroccan material and Russian material. But with a jaw-dropping diversity and rarity of trilobites, China's trilobites may make up for the incr

Haven't had time to post here lately, but I carved out a slot so here we go. In April of last year (2019), I had a chance to visit China. When I was in Beijing, one of my goals was to see the feathered dinos. I visited two museums that had them. One was the Geological Museum of China. The other (The Beijing Museum of Natural History) will be the subject of another post. I took hundreds of pictures there, but I can't post them all here. I have selected some of the better ones, focusing on the feathered critters. You'll have to excuse the lighting and quality

New fossils of giant rhinos — the largest land mammals ever — are found in China (nbcnews.com) Giant rhino unearthed in China was one of largest mammals ever to live | New Scientist New fossils reveal one of the largest land mammals ever found (yahoo.com) Since the late 2000s, scientists from China have treated Paraceratherium grangeri as a distinct species from Paraceratherium fossils found in Central Asia (named Indricotherium by Aleksei Alekseeivich Borissiak in 1916), and the taxon P. huangheense described in 2017 further indicates that not all fossils of Paracerather

Hello, A second egg Im interested in-- an, at first glance, much better one. It's Oviraptor, from Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China. Edit - size - 17.5cm It looks to have really good shell coverage, but am a little concerned at the cracks, whether some of it might be shells from other eggs glued in place. I'd love to hear others thoughts on it.

Keichousaurus with two vertebral columns?
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This juvenile Keichousaurus should be a genuine one but I don't understand why it appears to have two separate vertebral columns. It doesn't seem like the vertebral column is split into two due to fossilization process. Any idea? -
Hadrosaur egg -- Chinese
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, Any thoughts on this? It is a Hadrosaur egg from Guangdong, China. 9.4cm x 8.8 x 6. I know it's far from the best egg you'll see--but I was offered it for a good price, less than even I've seen poor conditioned eggs go for) . But does anyone see any restoration/composite to it? Now, I wish to check--the grey is eggshell, still partially covered by matrix? Or is the grey bits, which I am thinking is ill-cleaned eggshell, actually not eggshell either? I'm considering it for a piece for my desk at work here in Taipei--got my eye on a better -
I got this little tile over 10 yrs ago when I didn't know anything about fossils and didn't have a loop. All I saw was clams I thought, now I see something but can't remember what it was supposed to be, and brachiopods I think. Appreciate any help on ID and approximate age.
