Hi again. Location Sweden, Kristianstad, upper or lower cretaceous, underwater, sponge. This one I think I've ID'd, but there are a few things that doesn't feel comfortable. I think it is a Siphonia pyriformis. But there are a few problems. 1. there are two indentations, both in top and bottom. (and not one in top and an extruded stalk in bottom). 2. The size is quite oversized compared to the Siphonia Pyriformis I've seen on images of. This has bowlingball size. 3. There seems to be a wore down cushion pattern that doesn't fit with Siphonia Pyriformis at smaller sizes. Best regards/ Linus

Hello everyone, this is Trevor. I have been meaning to post this for a long time and finally got around to doing it. I would appreciate help identifying these finds. Also, stay tuned I have a trip report coming out later this week, probably Friday. What type of ammonite is this? (middle)

My hunting partner scored this sweet little piece today and it has me scratching my head as to what it is. It was found in the blufftown formation of Alabama (Campanian)...its a 1/2” long and 1/4” wide. It appears to be a claw core of some sort but from what I have no clue. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, Here are some fossils I found at this summer in Carniol, and I would like to know what they are. If the species can be said that would be fantastic. So, the fossils are all from Carniol, France. They are from the "Gargasian", of the Aptian stage of the Cretaceous, some 120'000 years old. Looks like they're all pyrite-replaced. I believe they're some kind of cephalopods, but I'm really not sure. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance! Max

Here is another Lance Creek piece. I’m thinking it is a piece off an Edmontodaur vertebrae. How far off base am I?
-
I received another box of stuff from The Lance Creek Formation and this was in it. The coloration and texture is different from anything else in the grouping. I spent some time cleaning the encrusted mud off and to be honest am not sure if it is even identifiable. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a Cardabiodon tooth (or possibly a Dwardius) If you have one, please message me and we can make a trade! Will trade other species of shark teeth (I have a lot of different options), so PM me if you are looking for a specific species to trade!

Here is a small piece of something I found while sorting through some bone fragments from Lance Creek formation INC Wyoming. Is it a piece of turtle shell?
-
Here is another one from the Lance Creek area. So far not a lot of luck on identifying these pieces but it’s worth a shot to keep trying. This was found in Lance Creek of Wyoming which is Cretaceous. The area is known for Triceratops and Edmontosaur so will keep trying to identify these bits and pieces.

Yesterday I was in New Jersery for my son, Dylan's marching band competition. We had half the day free until they were playing at Rutgers stadium so we met up with @frankh8147 to hunt one of the Cretaceous streams. We met up around 9am and it was raining. Not a torrential downpour, but enough to soak into your clothes even with a raincoat. I wasn't deterred and neither was Frank. Heck it didn't seem to bother him at all. I would like to say Thanks to Frank for being a great host and guide to me and my family. He has such a great wealth of knowledge of the fossils from that area. Plus this was the second time since July that he was willing to meet up with us. It didn't take long to start finding fossils. Right off the bat frank found a cephalic clasper from a shark! It was a decent size and condition. I found mostly shark and fish teeth. Frank seemed to find more of an assortment including reptile. He gifted Devin a Goblin sharktooth, and myself a partial mosasaur. Sot of a highlight for me is what maybe my first point. I say maybe because frank wasn't 100% sure because it is quite worn but said he has seen similar pieces which after being looked into were in fact points. The key is to find out if the object is made of argonite. An old tribe used argonite for their points and does not occur naturally in N.J. Anyways we stayed about 4hrs before we had to part ways but it was a great time with a great guy. Thanks again Frank for everything, including the pieces you gave me before the hunt. Hope you like the New York trilos. ( Don't forget to get me the info of those pieces) Here are pics of the gifts and finds.

Here is another piece from the box of Lance Creek Wy stuff. The area is Cretaceous and I’m hoping this is the tip of a rib. Any ideas? I will add a OU ture of the cross section when I get home this evening.

Found these in cibolo Creek after our last flood, first one I think might be a piece of ammonite or maybe just a oyster,

Had a pretty fun day here in San Antonio, started off by meeting Dan, talked for a little while before he moved on to go scout some other areas, moved down a ways and found a mosasaur vertebrae (my first), and then a pachydiscus (also a first for me) had to leave for a while but came back and found more pachydiscus chunks and then a giant pachydiscus that I had almost stepped on probably 10 times or more.
