Fossil cast of Mactra sp. -
Continuing with the teaser title... What does it mean when you find a partial ammonite outer whorl of these dimensions? 10 cm X 15 cm. 1 - I'm gonna need a bigger vehicle 2 - Just a lucky fluke 3 - Get back out there and find its siblings 4 - It's a fake plaster cast with which someone spiked the site 5 - These aren't the Ammonites you're looking for, move along 6 - Pay no attention to the peanut butter M&,M's nor the Reese's cups, I'm still celebrating!!! So I'm 3 fossil hunting trips behind and I had a 48 hour binge including two of said trips and one Astrophotography session with Orion Pleiades and Jupiter from 9 pm to 12 am; interject a 2 hour nap, then a 3 hr session with the Milky Way from 230 am to 5 am when the crescent moon rose and ended the session. Then another 2 hr nap when my wife texted me awake from home while I was snoozing comfortably in the back of my Honda Element in The Last Chance Desert. Then jump back into the fossil hunting saddle, a museum visit, plus Jurassic National Monument and more. Oh and not to forget that famous Clawson, UT UFO Landing Site. I gotta lotta catching up to do. This partial is an adult Prionocyclus macombi sp., the gracile form . I will attempt to estimate the possible diameter ASAP. Steve

Hello there! They came from Maevarano formation, Berivotra, Madagascar. Can you help me? Thank you. Is it really？

In the last couple of months my son and I have purchased some unprepped Lebanese fossil fishy's. There are four known species of guitarfish from the Lebanese provinces of Hakel and Hajula. Rhinobatos maronita is one of these; this species was fist described in 1866 by Pictet and Humbert. Some purty dang cool stuff but the guy we are buying from does not know how to wrap and send fossils over seas! Our last shipment came in many pieces! Not good. My son is working on him to make it right? Aside from that Im going to do what I can to fix things. First up is one side of what I think is a Guitar Fish, Rhinobatus? My son purchased this and this is the 'not so good side' with the other side being in better shape. Every so often I will be back and make more post of these realy neato fossil fishy's. @oilshale I dont know much about the types/specimens of these fish from Lebanon so if anyone wants to chime in and correct me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you RB The back half of this slap used to be in one piece!!!

A Fossil A Day....keeps the blues away! Or something like that... I started an Instragram account (jamielynnfossilquest) and am posting a fossil a day, so I figured I should do that on here, to REAL fossil enthusiasts! I'm a few days behind, so I will start out with a few more than one a day but then it will settle down to One Fossil (but I will admit, I'll probably miss a few days, but I'll double up or whatever.) I'll start with Texas Pennsylvanian era, but will branch out to other locations and time periods, so expect a little of everything! So enjoy A Fossil A Day! Texas Pennsylvanian Fossils: Nautiloid Agathiceras ciscoense Brachiopod Neochonetes acanthophorus Trilobite Ditomopyge sp. Gastropod Straparollus sp. Bivalve Astartella vera Cephalopod Brachycycloceras sp, Brachiopod Cleiothyridina orbicularis

I’m not even sure if looking at these or posting these would help. Most teeth from Shark tooth ridge are broken so I feel ID is hopeless. But if anyone knows anything , id be forever thankful! A. I’m really curious what these thick ones are. They don’t scream Squalicorax sp. B. Doesn’t look like a shark C. Scapanorhynchus sp. D. I really love the color on these. E. Also is a cool color pattern F. Too broken? G. This is what most of the teeth look like. It’s so sad. but I would keep going back if I could

Teeth, Ammonites, and Crabs: A Day in the Upper Britton of North Texas
Aidan Campos posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
On Wednesday, October 12th, I took another trip to a nearby favorite spot of mine that I found a few years ago which exposes the Sciponoceras gracile Zone, Camp Wisdom Member, Upper Britton Formation of the Eagle Ford Group here in Texas (Late Cenomanian-Early Turonian, 92-95mya), and had probably my best hunt from this site, including several different ammonites, a few shark teeth, my first Enchodus, and 26 Ferroranina dichrous crabs! First find was this very nice Yezoites delicatulus (Scaphitidae) ammonite A very worn Ptychodus sp. (Ptychodontidae) shark tooth: Sciponoceras gracile (Baculitidae) ammonite, namesake of the zone: Dead modern Procambarus steigmani — this crayfish is endemic to northeast/north central Texas: Legs of a Linuparus sp. likely L. grimmeri (Palinuridae) spiny lobster: Metoicoceras geslinianum (Acanthoceratidae) ammonite: Pair of Inoceramus capulus (Inoceramidae) bivalves: Some of the 26 total Ferroranina dichrous (Palaeocorystidae) crabs found during the day: Selenite crystals: Opuntia macrorhiza (Cactaceae), as a botanist this genus is one of my focus groups: Cameleolopha bellaplicata subsp. bellaplicata (Ostreidae) oyster occurring here as overwash from the younger Turonian Arcadia Park Formation (89-91mya) which is otherwise long since eroded away in this area: Next into some things I decided to take nice camera photos of (and consequently some of the best finds of the day) A nice tiny Cretalamna appendiculata s.l. (Otodontidae) shark tooth: My first Enchodus (Enchodontidae) fish tooth, I’m not sure which species are known from the Britton: cf. Margarites sp. (Margaritidae) gastropod, the first of this family I’ve seen in the Britton: A very beautiful Ptychodus anonymus (Ptychodontidae) shark tooth, found while crawling on the ground beneath a slope: Worthoceras vermiculus (Scaphitidae) ammonite, the nicest one I’ve collected: Natica sp. (Naticidae) gastropod, this species is extremely common in much of the Britton: Ferroranina dichrous (Palaeocorystidae) crab: My first Nannometoicoceras acceleratum (Acanthoceratidae) ammonite, fittingly tiny: Another Inoceramus capulus (Inoceramidae) bivalve: Hesperotettix speciosus (Acrididae) grasshopper: Really interesting preservation on this Ferroranina dichrous (Palaeocorystidae) crab that I had never seen before, these are almost always found in orange to dark red concretions: The total Ferroranina dichrous haul: The Nannometoicoceras acceleratum after some cleanup showing the distinctive tiny, conical umbilicus and tubercle arrangement:

Unusual fossil which we belive to be a fish snout. We had at 1st thought potentially ptersoaur but seems more likely to be fish. We have also had the suggestion of a weathered turtle skull.The last picture is a confirmed partial ptersoaur bone we also found today.Found in NW Queensland in the Toolebuc formation which is early Cretaceous marine deposits. Has anyone seen something like this before?
