I hope you all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year. I thought I’d treat myself to a Christmas fossil this year. It’s an iguanodon humerus (maybe Mantellisaurus now) from the Isle of Wight. The humerus is about 700 mm long, so pretty big and heavy. I got a local blacksmith to make the stand for me and I picked it up today. Regards Nick

I believe this is a hadrosaur causal vertebrae. From the Cretaceous era KAIPAROWITS FORMATION in Southeast Utah. Can someone confirm or provide a better identification? Thank you in advance for your help.

Mixed Cretaceous shark teeth from Dallas Texas
britishcanuk posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I’m very excited by the most recent addition to my shark tooth collection, this chunk of Cretaceous matrix from the Cretaceous deposits around Dallas, Texas. I can see at least 17 squalicorax teeth, 6 Ptychodus teeth and two other unidentified species, plus several other root lobes protruding our, undoubtedly still attached to the blades that are buried within the rock. There are also a few bits of bone scattered throughout. I wonder how so many teeth of so many species could gather and fossilize together in such a way. Side one

It is close to Midnight, about an hour before I leave Syracuse for a 5hr drive to the Cretaceous of New Jersey. I tried to get some sleep around 8:30 but all I could do was toss and turn as I am excited to get one last hunt in before the new year. I am bringing a co-worker and his girlfriend along. This will be their first Cretaceous hunt. We will be meeting g up with @Trevor @The Jersey Devil and another of Trevor's friends. Unfortunately Frank is not feeling well so won't be meeting up for this hunt. The weather is supposed to be warm but is calling for rain all day. I guess we will just have to make the best of it. The only reason I am even posting this right now is because I am so anxious. The weather here in New York has been pretty bad for me too do much in the way of fossilhunts, plus I have been too busy. I am off for the next couple weeks while my company moves to a brand new building that they had built. Anyways I am sitting g here counting the minutes till I leave. The car is all packed. I hope that I am not forgetting anything. I will be sure to let you all know how it goes. Wish us luck! ( Please)

Let us see your Cretaceous Calcified Splendors
masonboro37 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
During my organization and cleanup process in my never ending abyss of the fossil garage, I came across these gorgeous calcified fossils which are both cretaceous. I kind of misplaced them for a little while... I found them both at a sand pit in Coastal North Carolina a few years ago. So, show us your splendid, dandy and awesome calcified cretaceous fossils PLEASE! I shall start first on this cool lil' prospect to see what may be shared by other members. Libby First pic is a Flemingostrea subspatulata, Cretaceous oyster. Pee Dee Formation, North Carolina. Second pic is a Hardouinia kellumi, Cretaceous echinoid. Pee Dee Formation, North Carolina.

Hello, I show you two small fossils (less than 1CM) found in Southern France, in a river bed dated from late Cretaceous, where dino, turtle and croc bones were found. One is a tooth for sure, a kind of croc ? I never saw such shape before. The other one is maybe a fish scale ? a tooth ? thank you for your help as always !

Hello! I hope to get help from experts to ID some Albian gastropods. All are from the Zirc Limestone formation, Hungary, Bakony Mts. All are stone moulds, with some shell fragments. I know, there is little hope to ID the species, but I love to know the genuses at least! The bigger boxes are 6x6cm, the smaller boxes 4x4cm. I can upload separate photos if needed. Please do not mind the last 2 boxes! (Not gastropods) With Kind Regards.

Hello all, here is another fossil for which I’d appreciate some ID help. It is about the size of a postage stamp. It looks to be a cross section of an animal. There were extensive ammonite shell fragments in the area and I wonder if this is a cross section of one? It was found in Mancos shale north of Moab, but before reaching I 70. I darkened the fossil so it was more visible. Don’t know that I like that effect. Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone, I was wondering how one would distinguish the armor skull plates of a gar with some of the osteoderms found on sturgeon. I have definitely found the former but cannot be certain if I've found the prior. From looking at some pictures online I see similarity between the two and wondered if I had any in my collection and if I could properly identify a fossil as sturgeon as opposed to gar.

I recently bought this ammonite online from china at the bargain price of £9 free p+p but I have no idea what species it is or even where it was originally found.
