Hi, I saw this listing for a supposed real dinosaur egg, and wasn’t sure if it’s real or what species it may be from. It looks real to me but I’m not sure it’s a dinosaur egg. Unfortunately the seller doesn’t have a locality as they said it was passed down to them. Anyways i would appreciate any help with detecting whether it’s real or identifying what it’s from if it is real. Thanks in advance

Hello. This was collected in Texas along with some fossilized bones. The person who found it thinks it might be hadrosaur skin. It sort of looks like it but I would like to know for sure. Thank you.

Made a second trip to North Carolina's Black Creek group last week, and was definitely rewarded! Lots of interesting finds, the best of which are shown below: Deinosuchus rugosus (D. schwimmeri) teeth, osteoderms, skull fragments, and one MASSIVE coprolite. Also, the bottom right bone is either mosasaur or crocodillian/alligatoroid, I believe either from the hand or leg, hip maybe, but not sure on the exact ID.. Dinosaur teeth! One's definitely hadrosaur, the other I have as the broken-off, enamel-less tip of an indeterminate therapod crown..you be the judge on whether that one's a tooth lol. I think it is, the break has the exact shape of a broken-off Carcharodontosaurus spp. crown tip I have.

i,m joe, a retired welder, i built myself a small workshop in my garden, and as a hobby, i now make replica " dinosaur" skeletons from steel and stainless steel !i thought you might appreciate how much time/ effort goes into making them !,firstly all parts are " hand cut and shaped" on my anvil mostly, going off pictures of the real thing i then try to work out how many bones etc are say in the ribcage and so on, all joints are fully welded/ de burred and polished, and are then sprayed with a protective metal laquer ," the t.rex" i made was heated to a point where the carbon molecules in the steel "exite" turning the steel into the colours you see!, again then sprayed with a protective laquer, i do have more pics of other stuff which i will show later.

Hello, thinking about purchasing a few things and want to make sure their id is correct. first up is what seems to be a worn Dromeaoesaur, raptor tooth, it’s .35 inches long and from the Hell Creek Formation of South Dakota. second one is very likely a partial Hadrosaurs jaw, Measurements: 2.5 inches long x 1 inches wide x 0.75 inch thick. It’s from lance creek formation 3rd one I’m not very sure it’s correct but listed as a Spinosaurus toe bone, measures 1.4 Inches Long, 1 Inch Wide, 0.9 Inches Thick. from ozed, zem Morocco. last one seems to be a small worn Hadrosaurus jaw. It’s from Hell Creek Formation Garfield County, Montana and size is on image. thanks in advance

I saw this listing for a tooth that has no serration but looks like it’s from a Tyrannosaurus rex or Nanotyrannus. Im leaning towards Nanotyrannus since it doesn’t seem robust, and the base is kinda like a rectangle. but it doesn’t appear to have the pinch and is quite long. It’s from powder river county, hell creek formation. I wanted to see other opinions.

Below are 3 "teeth" I found yesterday in North Carolina's Black Creek Group, and I am no expert in identifying dino teeth. The first one is obviously hadrosaur, but not sure if more can be known about it. The second one, it's general shape looks like a "tooth", but honestly I'm not sure whether it is or isn't. It looks somewhat similar to pachycephalosaurid teeth I looked up online, but such teeth are rare and not known from Appalachia, so I'm doubtful. The last "tooth" looks to be therapod, but there's no enamel. The base where it's broken off looks similar to the breaks I've seen in some other therapod teeth in nicer condition, but as I said I am no expert in dino tooth morphology. Could well be a rock, but if so it's an odd-looking rock. All 3 teeth with scale: Tooth #1: Tooth #2: Tooth #3

I found a fossil which is definitely an egg. Google gave closest match as Hardosaur. Befoře as I was identifying dinosaur skull stones, I didn't end up with Hardosaur. The best match seemed to be something like Koreasaurus (clear beak-tooth, with with stronger forehead, as also the coprolites seemed to be from vegetarians). Most skulls are deformed, but rather easy to ID as head, alrhough 1 skull came out from a cracked sandstone and is pretty clear (unfortunately from toot to eyes area, not full head). Basically I've seen those like 10000x already as this land is all about fossils - we even have an oil mountain - oil comes out from land without pumping. It's from South coast of Timor Island, 500km from Australia. I'd like to know whose egg is this. Note1: my friend recently found a heel-bone which seem to be also from 5x10m spieces. Bone fossil is like 25x14cm and about 20kg, well preserved. Note2: I also have full-body small dino coprolite (yellow brown very hard stone) at my frontyard. About 80x50cm. With head shape with clear eyes and nose area skin texture and 1 part seems like a claw. Smallest skulls (probably unborn) are about 5cm only. Most common are about 30cm, but also I've seen some bigger than 1m ones that also reminded me skull. Probably 2 spieces. Thanks in advance! Silver

Hello fossil forum, Recently we were out hiking in the Coulee near Medicine Hat, Alberta! As newbie fossil enthusiasts, we were hoping for some expert weigh ins to help identify this fossilized bone we found. We have some very interest kids (and adults!) who were hoping to narrow it done from Chunkasaurus, to hopefully, a general species. ID or no ID, we do appreciate any direction on this! The Newbies

Where Does the Rock End and the Fossil Begin? + Other Identification
Salamander0421 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello. This is my first real post to these forums, so let me know if I do something incorrectly. I found these last year in Montana, USA. For the first one, I’m not quite sure where the fossil ends and the rock begins. I am worried about accidentally chipping away the fossil. It's 10x5.5cm. Here is the piece in question: I also found two other large pieces. The first I will call “trident” (because it has three prongs). It's 8 x 7.5cm. I am wondering where the rock begins and fossil ends on this one as well: And the last one, which is 5 x 4cm: Thank you and good luck! -
Hello, I just started my fossil collection and am thinking about adding some stuff to it. I found some stuff Im considering buying, but since I’m pretty new to fossils, I need some help to make sure the id are correct and that their the real deal before buying them. I would really appreciate it if someone helps confirm the ids of the fossils. Anyways that’s all I have to say for now, thanks for reading :). Btw I included why I’m skeptical(if I am, for each) item#1 is supposed trex rib, location on image, it measures about 1.65 inches, i only bought dinosaur teeth before, so I’m a bit skeptical that they can id the thing with just a rib bone, since there are many other large dinosaurs in the area. item#2 is a supposed dinosaur bone and I wanted to ask what dinosaur it might’ve came from and what part of the dinosaur it may be, location and size on image. Same thing, I don’t know much about dinosaur bones but it seems pretty cool and real. item#3 is a supposed Carcharodontosaurus tooth, however I’m not sure since the shape looks a little odd. size is 1 inch measured on curve. Location unknown item#4 is a supposed Rugops primes tail vertebrae, location in image, size is 5.5x3.5 cm, and I’m skeptical because I don’t understand how you can I’d with just a tail vertebrae. item#5 is supposed allosaurus toe, found in Morrison formation, measures 2.16 inches. Lots of large theropods, so idk if I’d is correct. Item #6 are raptor teeth from Morocco .5-.7 inches. Don’t know how to tell abelisaurid from raptors item #7 is supposed rib section from trex from lance formation Newcastle, however I’m not sure you can id it with such a small section. size in image item#8 is supposed Abelisaurid , from Morocco kem kem, size in image item#9 is also supposed abelisaurid and is also from kem kem, size is 1.8x.9 cm item#10 is cave bear tooth? Its not in good condition so I’m not sure, location on image and size is 1 and 1/4 item 11 I’m not sure, they think it’s raptor or abelisaurid , size on image and from kem kem item#12 no idea, never seen anything like it it’s from south east Georgia and measures 2 5/8x 3/4 again thanks for reading and hope you can help id a few, sorry for so much text and asking to id so much.

Hi. I often go on here and look at the amazing dinosaur fossil collections many of you have. I live in Wisconsin so I don’t have the opportunity to search for them so I search online but I’m wondering if there are more places to find dinosaur fossils for sale than online sites. Im wondering if anyone has any input on this. If this is a question that goes against forum rules just let me know it can’t be answered here. I don’t want to break any rules. Thanks!

I purchased this rib from Kemkem beds,but I'm not sure if it belongs to a dinosaur or a crocodile, does anyone have an idea? Thank you

Could anyone tell me if these are Nodosaur fossils? I found them on my property in Muncie Indiana. Google lens binged it as Nodosaur and upon searching, I found a very good picture of a 110 million yr old dinosaur fossil of the nodosaur. The count, shape, and placement of the spikes seem to be exactly the same. Although I am not that knowledgeable and very new to this.

Hey everyone, my brother obtained this fossil from my grandma who got it from my great grandpa after he passed away. I have no reason to believe my great grandpa would fake this because he kept it to himself. However if it’s an archaeopteryx it’s pretty hard to believe. Let me know what you guys think, thanks in advance.

Found a peculiar bone in the upper HSCF this weekend and am unsure of what it is. I occasionally find marine material, but for the most part the area is all terrestrial dinosaur fossils. What could it be?
