This piece was in a collection that I purchased earlier this year and I just noticed it, but have no clue what it is. I have no information at all on this piece. Any help would be appreciated.

I hear there are over 10k ammonite species. If that number is true, who or what museum has the most? Thinking of starting down a long road but that's who I am.

I started collecting around a year ago and have gained a small collection just wanted to show some the fossils off. Some I've found but most are bought. I will update if I get any new fossils. I can't post all the stuff at once because I need to take all the photos which takes some time. Thank you

Hi everyone. I have a question, or rather I would like the opinion of all of you as fossil collectors and lovers of the life of the past, both amateurs and professionals. The truth has little that I entered the world of paleontology, and the truth does not cease to amaze; I have barely 5 or 6 months researching everything about life in the past, and throughout the months I always see the same debate between people that for sure, is nothing new for all of you. The problem of whether to collect fossils or not. I recently read right here in the forum about a very controversial paleontologist who repudiates the collection of all kinds of fossils, and a few days ago, once again the debate was ignited by the sale of a complete skeleton of a triceratops to an apparently private collector . I personally do not have fossils yet, but later if I want to buy some so I do not reject the idea of collecting, I find it a bit of conflict since in a certain part both positions have their apparent reason. For example, thanks to some private collectors several discoveries have been made. Just to give an example, I would mention Tullimonstrum that I think was discovered in a private collection and later studied, so it is a point in favor of those who collect fossils. But it is true that the private collection can also delay the process of studying the specimen since not all collectors are willing to lend their fossils, although in this part I believe that most of them would, but we must not forget that all people don't act the same. I can assume that the majority of collectors who do not lend their fossils (speaking of fossils of scientific importance, non-commercial and common) is because perhaps they occurred the fossils illegally, which is not a surprise, but I do not want to go into detail about illegal fossils. The purpose of this post is not to discuss, point out, or criticize anyone. From my point of view, both ideas are valid and have their good and bad points. But I really would like the opinion of you who have a lot of experience and who obviously have their personal fossils. Thank you all and a big hug.

I have started labeling my fossils. But a few questions. For example a Mosasaur and dino from Morocco Theropod dinosaur teeth Abelisaurid indet. Kem Kem Beds, Morocco Late Cretaceous ~95 million years Mosasaur teeth Igdamanosaurus aegyptiacus Oulad Abdoun Basin, Morocco Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian (~70 million years) Are these labels right? I wonder about the "Eocene, Ypresian" Does that work or should I do "Eocene Ypresian" ?

Hey everyone, I've been acquiring some new fossils, and it's been getting me to want to start a trilobite collection. I wanted to make this so I can update whenever I get a new specimen. For now I'll start with my Kainops raymondi. Paciphacops campbelli

L.S., Though I think I generally keep a reasonable administration (insofar as numbering and cataloguing my specimens), the identification and photography seem to always lag behind... One of my goals for 2021 is to catch up a bit, so I've been reorganising old photographs and taking new ones. Many old identifications have been reconsidered too, often actually yielding less specific results... At this stage, I thought it would be nice to share some of the updated photography work. Sharing the photographs helps me keep motivated and may even prove useful for identification. I plan to create Member Gallery albums per locality. The first two are now ready online, more photographs (and albums) will hopefully trickle in over time... Steinbruch Piesberg (Osnabrück, Germany): fossils from a late Carboniferous (Westphalian D) paralic succession Carrière Les Tuilières (Lodève, France): fossils from an early Permian (Cisuralian) lacustrine deposit Please shoot me a message if you recognise any of the unidentified (or misidentified) fossils! Kind regards, Tim

Hi everyone! I want to introduce some new additions to my teeth collections. 1. Nodosaur tooth from Judith River Formation This tooth is from Hill Co. Montana. Has nice set of serrations, and 10 mm wide. There are two genus of Nodosaur known from Judith River F. : Edmontonia and Palaeoscincus, thus, this is a Nodosaurid indet. 2. Pygmy sperm whale (Kogiopsis) tooth from Hawthorn Formation This tooth has no tip, but have enamel and root. This is slightly larger than 3 inches.

I figured that while we are on a show me your sharkteeth kick, why not show some of our specail sandtiger teeth The poor sandtiger hardly gets any press, but they can still be a nice addition to any collection. Here is my absolute favorite. It is another Brownies beach special. When I found it in the surf it was a dark black/grey color. But when it dried out I got a blue/tan mottled blade with a brown root. Also the root is kind of oversized for the blade. It has some wicked cusps as well.

I had heard of these display options, but had yet to pony up and buy some. Found a deal on three 8 x 11's and I'm quite pleased! It was great fun to arrange the fossils in interesting patterns. I did one for my England Jurassic Coast finds, one for Florida Peace River and Venice finds and then a Texas Cretaceous Tiny Stuff. I like how they take up some nice space in my cabinet!

Hey everyone! I'm new to collecting and learning about fossils. I have a very small collection of shark teeth. I found the 2 largest ones while scuba diving at a Spring in Central Florida. The rest of the smaller teeth I found years ago on a trip to Peace River. Not a lot yet but I look forward to exploring for more and learning more!

I am unable to identify these pieces from my grandad's collection. He is now unable to clearly see and so sadly couldn't identify it. It must be something, he was a zoologist and the shale meant enough to have a crack repaired. Parts look like bones to me. I'd love to get these identified so I can prep them, making them clearer so he can see them clearer again.

Figured this might be quite interesting. Post your fossils that are just found at one location. I'll post two small blocks of Pachystopheus fossils, which I believe are only found in South Gloucestershire--Aust Cliff and Garden Cliff. And a Hypsilophodon vertebra which is only found at Isle of Wight--I think at just Brook Bay too.

Hello. I finally got around to taking pictures of my collection. It took a while to identify and label everything. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I’ll update this topic as I add new fossils. My first shelf currently has fish and mammal fossils. Weird combination, but I have limited space. I think the Knightia look nice at the top of the bookcase. Pair of Knightia eocaena Diplomystus Sea robin nose bone. I found this while on a Peace River guided tour with Mark Renz. He kindly identified it for me.
