Spinosaurus Claw , fake or not
Satoshi posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, My name is Satoshi． I want to study Spinosaurus fossils. I think this fossil is not fake and high quality. What do you think, guys? Please help. Thank you very much. -
I was out goofing around in the Texas Pleistocene recently and bumped into this Paramylodon claw. The tip was missing, but still a rare find. Rare enough to warrant an attempt at restoration, although I don't have much experience in creating faux bone.

Is this theropod claw/toe real?
Rahul posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all -- Found this claw for sale and am really interested in buying it. Seller acknowledges that exact species of theropod cannot be determined but that the fossil is from a good source in Kazakhstan. There do appear to be theropods from the region. Any obvious signs in these pictures that this is a fabrication? Just at a glance, it looks like the grain does follow the curve, which is the first thing I'd look for. Anything else that stands out? Relatedly, any signs that this is a composite toe (with bones from several individual dinosaurs put into one display)? -
On my welcome post, I had mentioned that I was looking for a claw for my daughter. I was able to contact someone that has a claw that was found by them in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. They state that it is from an Alvarezsaurus. I know very little about this dino. Only thing I could find when looking up Alvarezsaurus in Hell Creek is this Wikipedia Trierarchuncus It seems like not much is known about this particular species in Hell Creek. So, can any of you more knowledgeable folks identify this as an Alvarezsaurus, or possibly something different? Looks to me like it

Really beefed up my collection this year: Amber: Spent a while with my trusty loupe combing through Chiapas amber sold by the gram and found a very uncommon flower petal. The seller took a moment to offer up a page on his phone about the healing properties of amber, and he gave me a polite nod and laugh when I said I'm more interested in the scientific properties. I like dead stuff. Big Claw: Always wanted a thick beefy claw! Labeled as a Carch claw from Kem Kem but after reading some of @Troodon's posts it could be a Spino or generic theropod. Really love the shape- 14 replies

So far the dimensions of what's showing is 15.2mmx6mmx1.5mm & it's starting to curve back into the rock. With no sign of the end yet. I'm taking my time & investigating the piece after every couple scrapes. Whatever it is, it's not as hard as the surrounding material. I'm going to wait till I get a response before I do anymore. Just in case any of you think I should turn it over to a professional so I don't screw up whatever it is.

Good morning guys! Received from a friend in US (I'm in Italy) a nice theropod claw from the Hell Creek, but the precise location is not known. We both assumed this comes from an Anzu wyliei hand, but we would like to know what you think about it. I'm currently not at home, so i can't make more precise photos in 7-10 days, sorry Thank you so much!

Massive Spinosaurus Claw and Skull
Phos_01 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, as im following up on my previous post while im on vacation someone tipped me to visit a local Fossil shop in a small town. So they have a massive Spinosaur Skull displayed and what interests me the most a huge claw with bone. sadly i had a language barrier and someone from my friends translated a bit for me. The shop owner was not very friendly and seemed a little suspicious with my questions ‘are they authentic’ and ‘where lies there origin’. He then told me they are purely authentic and that he was doing this for 35 years. He took it personal that I ask -
I have what I'm pretty sure is a triceratops hoof, but I've come to understand edmontosaurus and triceratops hooves are hard to tell apart. It's from the hell creek formation, Montana. It's 3.5 inches across and long

Is this claw athentic?
Big Mac boi posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello I recently found this claw labeled as Rugops primus finger. It also says it is a composite piece. I was wondering if the claw itself is authentic, without restoration. Location: listed as Kem Kem, near Taouz, Morocco. -
Real triceratops bones? Or not?
Josesaurus rex posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I would like to know if someone can help me identify if precisely these remains correspond to triceratops, or to some indeterminate ceratopsian at least. They all say they are from the Lance Formation, with no county, state, or anything. They are different types of bone, which I will detail below. 1. Sect of the jaw 2. Section of the upper jaw 3. Mandibular sect 4. Ungual, foot claw I await your comments, and thank you very much in advance. -
Hi y'all. Found this in some Permian micromatrix from Waurika, OK. There's no way I'm this lucky, but is this a very tiny Dimetrodon claw? I've tried to get access to this paper, but still waiting to see if the authors will send the text. I'm fairly confident it's at least sphenacodontid, based on pictures I've seen on the forum. It's about 3 mm in length. @dinodigger@jdp

Hey everyone. I found these in a creek while traveling around Ohio. The areas are known for fossils, but I can't tell if these are actually teeth or if they are just some kind of rock formation. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Is Fossil excavation Legal? / Is obtaining Fossils Legal?
Phos_01 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello everyone, I have just discovered this Forum, and I have to say it looks amazing! I feel like I've come to the right place, it has everything regarding Fossils and knowledge of people. I hope to find some additional Fossils here for my collection I have just a few questions: Is it actually legal to dig up Dinosaur Fossils? Im just wondering as an example, if you dig up a Triceratops in Canada, or a Tyrannosaur Rex in the States (what would be awesome) is this allowed to search/dig for them? Can you just visit a digging site and start on your own, how does it work? -
Hello i saw these claws to sell, the left claw have some red flags but the right claw looks great so i have doubts about it. What do you think about the right claw ?

My son found this in the same spot or general area as the ammonite thingy. They both have similar markings as well which is odd to me I guess. It's about 3" long and 1 " wide at its widest. thank you in advance

Also found this at the Peace River and hoping it's a sloth claw...

Hi everyone! I came across this little piece as I was sorting through some of the anthill matrix I brought back from Wyoming's Lance formation. When I first found it, I must not have recognized it as a partial claw as it ended up alongside other odds and ends (fragments of bone, gar scales & other misc. fossils) at the bottom of a pill bottle where I had deposited all of my pickings. This week, however, I emptied that pill bottle to see what was inside in order to organize all the micros I found from this locality (which will get its own post eventually). It's evident to me that this is a
