Hi, went to the fleamarket and bought this. I think they’re some pseudosuchian teeth.

Hey everyone, I have a vertebra I just finished preparing that I was looking for an ID. It was found in the Hell creek formation near Ekalaka Montana. It is a little crushed and not complete unfortunately but the centrum looks a little geometric to me so I have a tentative ID of a dorsal hadrosaur vertabra. It is 10.5cm long by 15.5cm tall by 6.5cm wide. I would appreciate confirmation or to figure out if it's something else as always thanks for your time and expertise.

I am a big fan of jurrasic sauropods and I therefore spend most of my time on preparing what is left of them. However, for a change I now started working on a slab of rock that seems to contain a series of fused sacral vertebrae by a theropod. The verts seem to belong to Allosaurus. Maybe not as cool as a sauropod fossil but I think that Allosaurus was a fascinating creature as well. The bones have been collected many years ago at Dana Quarry, Teen Sleep, Wyoming.

Hi all. These are four theropod teeth from the Kem Kem beds that I am not sure about how to assign them. I was hoping you could have a look and let me know what you think. 1. A 3 cm long tooth, I think this one might be Carcharodontosaurid. 2. This one is 1.9 cm long. Distal serrations are slightly less dense than mesial ones. 3. A small one, 1.5 cm. Hard to measure, but mesial denticles appear to have a slightly higher density. 4. A 2 cm ugly one Thanks! Let me know if you need more info or pictures.

Hey guys, I saw this listed as a suchomimus tooth. I know suchomimus tooth is quite rare and I don’t have much experience with it. Do you guys think it’s really a suchomimus tooth?

Hi everyone! I'm helping out a new buddy of mine with this one. He acquired this bone a few years ago under the pretense of it being a "Triceratops hip or leg bone". He's currently selling it and the rest of his collection off to pay for some medical expenses, and I've been helping him try to verify the ID on some of his things since the original seller's IDs for several have been, well, I disagree with some of them. I'm just going to leave it at that. Anyway after contacting the original seller for some more info on his collection, and some remarks by several interested parties it came out that this bone might have been mixed up in it's original ID and is actually Sauropod, specifically the pubis. We're currently trying to get more info on locality, but in the meantime I thought it would help to get an independent opinion on what this is most likely from so I'm posting on his behalf. He described it as roughly 21 inches long so about 53-54 cm. While we wait for more potential proximity info (if it even exists anymore) if there are any other measurements or spots that need better photos tell me an I'll let him know. Any insight is appreciated as always!

I acquired this from a person that had owned it for some time who knew even less than I do about fossils. He got it at an estate sale from someone that did collect fossils several years ago. Due to the box having a label in it that said Allosaurus, he always assumed it was an egg from that animal. He had no idea what a theropod was, looking at the egg it remined me of some Hadrosaur eggs I had seen. It is too old to be part of the current crop of eggs coming from Asia. It was a nice fossil and I acquired it, Now, I would like a more knowledgeable option. It meauseres about 17x10 cm Thanks Robert

Hello everyone, I have been looking at a pair of eggs on matrix. I believe they are real and good, they should be 'Oviraptor?' or perhaps another species , perhaps someone can help out. but just to be sure I want to post them here and perhaps get some opinions . They should have a small repair at the eggshell and at one that I have marked there was a crack that is repaired. Thoughts? Nice weekend everyone! f78d4a5feab7439096f0650fbba37ce4.MOV

Hello, My fiancé and I were hunting for meteorite fragments and found this very unique 'artifact' at her family ranch in Starr County, Texas. I have no idea what it is and want help identifying it. A very uneducated guess is that it may be a dinosaur egg with ancient carvings - total guess. The lines around the 'eye' are raised.. not carved in. Apologies if I am using incorrect terminology. I just want help in my quest to identify it. There were quite a few arrowheads found near this 'artifact' as well. Any ideas or suggestions welcome in helping identify this! Thank you

Hi everybody. First of all thanks in advance for your help with my question. The pictures are of a tooth I bought from Morrison formation of moffat county. The tooth is labeled torvosaurus and is very large at almost 4 inches. It is not in the greatest condition though and appears t have some gap fill and is missing the majority of the enamel. I understand the tooth is not in great condition but I’m wondering if it at least looks to be all from the same tooth and not a Frankentooth. It seems to have similar texture and root etchings up to about 75% up the tooth. At that point it’s a little different and that’s where the gap fill is. However it seems the enamel on this part matches the enamel of what remains on the other part of the tooth. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! Dean

Hey everyone, new here, but hoping I’ve come to the right place! My family just got back from tooth hunting on shark tooth island and found these too and wondered how we could confirm what they are and if they’re just ordinary or could be extraordinary!

Hi everyone! I've had this little Kem Kem tooth for a while now and was hoping for some help IDing it. My gut is telling me premax, maybe from a little Carch which I'm guessing from the thickness though it will probably wind up in the indet. Theropod pile. No base to provide CBL and CBW so I took measurements at the best cross section that was left. There is a mesial carina though it is very subtle and only extends halfway down the specimen's length. Any insight is appreciated as always!

At an auction, a family member purchased about 20 specimens that are similar to these two. All are circular, flattened to various degrees, some complete, some broken. The only information given was that they are dinosaur coprolite. I don't think so, since it doesn't look like any dino doo-doo I've ever seen. At first I thought they were just geodes, and they might be, but then I saw this: https://www.geologyin.com/.../rock-containing-stunning... So now I'm wondering if they might be squashed dino eggs? On the one photo, the arrows indicate what I think might be shell.

Real/fake triceratops bone pterosaur tooth
jgalea posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! I'm an amateur fossil collector who has recently bought two pieces online. I normally buy at museums or markets but these were a good deal. Wanted to check that these were genuine fossils and not a scam. Fossils came with certificate of authenticity from [seller name redacted] but I know that doesn't mean much.
