Hello, Just wanted to ask for opinions on whether this is a female mosquito in Burmese Amber? I’ve attached some pictures below and closeup (best quality I can get) From what I’ve been told, this particular mosquito is a female using the branched antennae to identify it as a female. Males have a much more plumose (feather-like) antennae. Female mosquitoes are known for drawing blood to produce their eggs, hence this mosquito would have been capable of drawing blood. Please note its long proboscis it would have used to draw blood. It also has fine hairs on its wings cha

Hello, I've got some fossils from Niobrara County, Wyoming in the Lance Formation that need some ID if its possible. The scale bar is in inches (top) and centimeters (bottom). Thank you for your time. #1 I'm confident is a skull piece but I was wondering if anyone knew what bone or perhaps what group of animals it belongs to? I see a hole on the inner side that was most likely a passage for a vein, and there are smaller holes on the outside as well. I'm hoping it's identifiable because one of the edges is not broken and is natural.

Late last year I received some micro matrix from @Notidanodon that he collected from the Isle of Wright (UK) out of the Greensand Fm. near Yaverland. This material is Lower Cretaceous, Albian aged. I have picked through much of it and have some questions on what I have found. I am not well versed in the fauna from this area and some internet searching has led me to some suggestions, but I'm hoping Will or some of our more experienced collectors from this area such as @Welsh Wizard, @Yoda, @Bobby Rico, and any others that I cant think of off the top of my head, can set me straight.

Recently I visited paleontologist Ralph Johnson. Ralph gave a tour of the MAPS (Monmouth Amateur Paleontologists Society) collection and shared his extensive knowledge of New Jersey Paleontology. I also brought a few of my finds from the late Cretaceous of New Jersey hoping Ralph could identify them. One of which was a piece of bone with an interesting texture and shape. Ralph identified this piece as the second nodosaur osteoderm found in New Jersey. We compared it with a cast of Ralph’s nodosaur scute and it was a match. Here are some photos of this specimen. I'm thrilled to have th

This ‘fossil’ was found on a river gravel bar in Southern Minnesota. Sedimentary layers in the area include Wisconsin lobe glacial till and cretaceous mudstone/sandstone. The centre of this specimen seems to be just sedimentary material that is slightly harder than the surrounding material filling the core. The outer shell seems to be rock. I am totally stumped. eems to be rock. I am totally stumped.

Hey y'all! I am a geology/paleontology student at Texas A&M and I am researching the Austin Chalk. I was wondering if anyone had any good Austin localities near the Waco/Temple area or anywhere near 35 all the way up to Dallas. I’ve researched a few old papers and found a couple of spots but I figured this forum could be a good outcrop resource as well. Would love some help! Thanks so much.

Anybody can identify this Tooth? Found in cretaceous, turonian sandy-limestone in Poland (Tyniec, Cracow). I think it's a Shark Tooth, or other fish but I don't know which exactly.

As a later summer vacation we decided to do a road trip - Tour de France. France having many interesting destinations and things to do and collecting fossils would be one of them. As we usually don’t plan our trips beyond a few days ahead also the fossil locations were decided on the road. But when reading about Carniol it became clear it was one we had to include. Other non fossil highlights of the trip were Bordeaux, the Pyrenees, Toulouse (great museum of natural history), Lyon and of course Pont du Gard. When finding out about Carniol I did some further reading on how to get th

Hey ya'll Here's a small Ptychodus that my step brother found while we were hunting a gravel bed. Still in the matrix... you can say I'm a little jealous. I'm thinking, based off the ID guide that's pinned, that it could be mammillaris. Let me know if more or better photos are needed.

Hadrodus hewletti was a large bony fish of the cretaceous. Finds of this variety in Hadrodus are notably uncommon. The best description I could find about Hadrodus was on the Oceans of Kansas website. Here is what they have to say about it : - "There are several things you can say about Hadrodus. Although it's not a pycnodontiform (Poyato-Ariza, F.J., and S. Wenz, 2002), it is very likely closely related to them, as shown by its deep-bodied form (seen in a partially-described Alabama specimen), the increased number and enlarged size of the vomerine and prearticular teeth, and the inc-
