    Very odd sauropod tooth

    Hello I saw this tooth online. I am very confused by the shape of this tooth. Seller thinks it might be from a brachiosaurus. It looks more like a camarasaurus to me however. I've never seen a tooth like it before. It was collected in Moffat County Colorado and measures 1.49 inches..

    Dinosaur fossils?

    Hello, I recently acquired these two chunks from a seller in Apache Junction, Arizona. He claims that they are from Colorado, but I was not able to get a more specific location. Can anything be known about these? The seller said the larger piece looked like a vertebrae, but I have no clue. Any insight would be appreciated!
  3. I found this beautiful piece today along the Arkansas River bank in Colorado. I have a few other pieces of petrified wood but this is the largest that I've found and it almost looks to have been cut with something before hardening. Just curious if this is usual. The cuts are not very deep and I've tried to get the best pictures I can of them.
  4. I recently collected quite a few artifacts from a privately owned piece of property located in the Debeque Colorado area. I beleive most of the pieces (knives, drills, hand axes, projectile points, ect.) to be of late Paleo Indian Age. Specifically, Foothills Mountain Complex. A significant portion of the artifacts were knapped from source material that contains the fossil type represented in the photo. I cannot identify the species. I find it very interesting that tool stone containing this particular fossil was apparently utilized over the same material without this fossil. Tool stone contai
  5. From the Rocky Ridge Sandstone unit of the Pierre Formation near Fort Collins, Colorado
  6. Little slice of heaven near Fort Collins with some nice Inoceramus Clams. Usually try to not bust open big rocks like this and instead find ones that have already eroded out but this nodule had a crack running along really nice bivalve so I couldn't resist.

    Strange Inoceramid

    Never seen anything like this so far. I know it's an Inoceramid from the shell structure but I've never seen one in this shape before. I know there's a lot of variety with this species but I have a lot of experience collecting bivalves and I've never seen one like this.

    Possible fungi fossil

    Good day everyone, I was out over by the Ratone Plateau, not too far from the purgatory river, and came across these fungi like fossils. I have only heard that mushroom fossils were only found within amber but my father was thinking they were actual fungi fossils. What do you all think? They kind of look like the caps of mushrooms. Any help identifying what these are would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Found in Douglas Pass Colorado decades ago. Revisited and unable to tell if it’s fossil or rock

    Two Nautiloid Steinkerns?

    Hello, Could I get some help identifying these two nautiloid steinkerns? Unfortunately no precise age/locality info on them but I think they might be from the Pennsylvanian or Permian of Kansas or Texas. They are both around 8-9cm wide. 1. 2. Referring to this: http://inyo2.coffeecup.com/kansasfossils/kansasfossils.html I think #1. might be Metacoceras and #2. might be Liroceras. @Missourian I believe you are referenced in that post and you seem to be experienced in this fauna? Thanks
  11. I was wondering if there's anyone (preferably in Colorado) who can prepare fossils with an air scribe if sent to them and if so what there prices would be for a project. I have a plethora of fossils from the Pierre Shale still encased in matrix and a hammer and chisel is just not detailed enough and it requires breaking and glueing specimens. Hopefully one day I can get my own air compressor and scribe setup but for now I'm in a apartment and that's just not possible. Any feedback is appreciated.
  12. I was really enjoying hiking around different spots in Boulder, Colorado and eventually I came across a beautiful outcrop of the Niobrara Formation. I thought it was so cool that there were shell imprints in the rock and nobody had ever taught me about the Geology of the area and it was really fascinating to see for myself that the whole area was once under the sea. I stumbled upon a massive Inoceramus and I knew I had to haul it home. Not bad at all for a first fossil hunt I don't think I ever found a Inoceramus as impressive as my first. Begginers luck.
  13. I've had some beautiful little hikes around a sandstone outcrop and I've stumbled upon some very decent bivalves
  14. Came across this fossilized bone along a lake shore in central Colorado, a little southeast of the Denver metro area, and was hoping you all could help ID it. My initial thoughts were that it belonged to a prehistoric mammal of some kind but I have very little experience identifying specimens like this.. Also, I'm not sure if this is useful information or not since it was found in the sand by the water's edge, but petrified wood fragments were scattered around the area as well. Any posits will be much appreciated, thank you!
  15. Being a Colorado native, I have taken multiple trips to the public-access Florissant Fossil Quarry located near Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument in Florissant, Teller County, Colorado. This quarry provides fossil collectors fantastic access to the shale layers of the Florissant Formation, a late Eocene (Priabonian, ~34 million years old give or take) lagerstatte known for its diverse fauna of fossil insects, in addition to plants, gastropods, and very rarely vertebrates. Most fossils occur in very thinly laminated ashy grey shales. Other lithologies present include well-sorted tan cour

    Fiber web-like thing inside rock

    Found this rock in southern colorado. Strange, squares, seemingly fibers of some sort.

    Looks Like A Petrified Clam

    Is this a measly clam or is it a mother nature made stone? The more questions I asked, the more knowledge I'll gain
  18. Good evening to my fellow fossil lovers! This report has been on hold for a while, hovering near the top of my paleo-to do list. But to be honest, I haven't been on the forum as much these last few months and I've just sort of kicked the can down the road, pushing it off. Well here we are in August 2022 and I'm a whole year and some change removed from this excursion, but I say better late than never. With that out of the way lets jump into this adventure! I hope you're ready for... The Roadtrip Through Time: Colorado Part I: Pierre Shale In the winter of 2021 I ha
