From the album: Fossils From Compton Bay to Grange Chine, Isle of Wight
Collected between Grange Chine and Chilton Chine on the Isle of Wight, UK. Wessex Formation. About 125-130 Ma. -
Just looking for little help identifying these small digits from Hell Creek. I'm guessing the bottom two are likely dinosaur or reptile, but I'm unsure about the top one. Thanks in advance!

Is this an egg or just a round rock?

Coprolite? "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?!"
InfoHungryMom posted a topic in Fossil ID
Definitely NOT going to do "the tongue test!" I have found many "rocks" that seem to have multiple fossils in them... and this could be one possible reason- it WAS sticky and did contain food at some point? Once again, newbie here.... thoughts? Thank you!

This partial bone from Kem Kem was listed as unidentified but possibly Spinosaurus (no surprise there). It's a pretty substantial plate-like piece (154mm long). Not in great condition obviously, with missing material down one complete edge and likely in other directions. I've not really been able to work out what this might be but it has a distinctive concavity at one end and some surface structural ribbing running down one face. I've included an illustration that tries to show (with hatching) where the missing material was. Probably a long shot but maybe someone will recognize the surface ribbing and may be able to place it.

Need Help, real or fake dinosaur egg?
Elsa posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone I am Elsa from China and i live in Washington D.C. now. I bought a dinosaur eggs from one of my friend in China and it took me $1500, it's very very big and heavy, but i have never bought fossils before now. If you can help me to confirm the fossils in the pictures below are authentic i would be very thankful. And if they are real what kind of eggs are they?

Hey everybody! The name's Mike and I'm no expert in paleontology but I am a major enthusiast, trying to build a veried collection of authentic Mesozoic (and other) fossils. I'm glad to have joined the site and I look forward to reading what you all have to say about fossils. See you around! I'll start off by showing all my fossil specimens that have come from Hell Creek

I got this from a guy who found it at Montana the Hell Creek area. I was wondering if it was a Nanotyrannus Tooth or a different carnivore?

Need Help, real or fake fossils?
Mesozoic Mike posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone I am a fossil collector but I have never bought fossils from online before now, so I am very skeptical of every fossil I see online. If you can help me to confirm the fossils in the pictures below are authentic (and are what they say they are) I would be very thankful. Thank you! Acheroraptor temertyorum (tooth) Pachycephalosaurus (tooth) Ankylosaurus (scute) Thescolosaurus (tooth)

I found this in central Iowa, not sure of exactly where. Kind of looked like an egg to me. It's more yellow on the inside with a kind of shell around it.

Organizing my collection has been the tedious, but also a really fun process. I’ll probably continually posting here for assistance. When I’m feeling a little more confident about my ID’s, I’ll post it in the members collection section to share. I still have some fossils to prep, piece together, display, label, etc. and really fortunate that I have all of you helping constantly; it really speeds up the process. In another year’s time, I’ll be much more educated/ well rounded Some of my fossils are rookie purchases, so I’m just trying to make the best of it. The issue is , I think they’re pretty cool, but not sure if they are worth displaying given that they are bone fragments. I was thinking maybe in a riker...also the issue of labeling...Below are three separate purchases. Group 1: The seller sold these in fragments. Several of these pieces I glued back together neatly with Paleo bond. The seller must’ve used some kind of thick glue originally because there are some marks, but it’s no big deal... anyway these were advertised as Albertosaurus bones... when I asked the seller why he labeled it as such, he said because it’s very probable? I asked him for a coa, and when I received it, it only said Tyannosaur bones... so I’m going to leave it at that...because it’s indeterminable. Even back then I knew Coa’s were pointless, but I always like asking for one, because I feel like it could possibly put a little pressure on the seller to be a somewhat more honest like it did in this case...however in most cases sellers don’t care: Tyrannosaur bone fragments: Judith River Formation, Northern Montana The other small miscellaneous pieces I don’t think can be glued back...no fit or match, just associated bones...What would you label the fossil as, and are they worth displaying?

This is a Kem Kem 'possible Spinosaurus' unidentified bone. Fairly poor condition with some liberal filler but some of the original shape is visible. Looking at known examples of Spinosaurus foot bones this seems like a poor match - it's just too broad and short, at least as far as I can see. However, it does resemble the shape of some other theropod phalanges I've seen. Another possibility, just based on overall shape, seems to be a crocodilian carpal bone. Can anyone shed any light on this?

This Kem Kem fossil rib I acquired a while back has obviously been re-assembled from multiple fractured pieces (with quite a lot of the dreaded Kem Kem filler) but the pieces look consistent, the surface preservation is nice, and the shape is pretty distinctive. It's 285mm long. Is there any way to determine what this might have been from or are ribs too generic? It was listed as dinosaur, but it could be crocodilian.

I found this in Monmouth County, New Jersey (USA) last week and was wondering if anyone knew what it was. When I first picked it up, I thought it was turtle shell but the bone structure doesn't compare well at all with the other turtle shell examples I've found. The top part is what I was focusing on because it doesn't look that was formed as a result of breaks and wear to me. I guess it could be older breaks and if that's the case, I'm pretty sure that I'm out of luck getting an ID on it but I figured I would give it a shot. As always, all help is greatly appreciated! -Frank

Hey, I hope this is the right forum! I’m new to TFF, so idk if this is allowed or not, but figured I’d give it a shot. Admin, if not allowed, please delete and let me know. Thanks!! I’m curious to see your favorite piece in your collection. Post a picture of your favorite find, and tell me a little bit about it. What time period is it from? Where did you find it? (I.E., US, England, etc.) Is it rare? Why is it your favorite find? I’ve got a couple of favorites, but I’ll just post one. This rock in particular is teeming with history! On this one rock alone there are fossils of Crinoids, some with, what I believe to be, pinnules still attached. It’s got fossilized shells, imprints of shells, Crinoid stems, etc. Its my favorite because it’s just got so much history packed in to it! It was found in Boone County, MO., USA. I believe it to be from the Mississippian Era. These are all found on the same rock. (I’ll add some more pictures to the comments.) If I’m wrong in my guess on what they are, please correct me! I look forward to seeing your favorite find!

Hi! Im wondering if there is dinosaur teeth that are relatively easy to id when it comes down to a specific species? Like a dinosaur with very odd or distinctive looking teeth that cant be mistaken to be anything else. I know that isolated teeth is often hard or impossible to id , but maybe there is some exception ? Best regards Patrik

Here’s one that has me scratching my head. It’s a bone I found in the Judith River Formation of Montana recently, I picked up these two pieces and later realized they go together. They’re definitely placed properly, but the shape is strange and I can’t ID it. My initial thoughts were some type of hadrosaur toe bone, but I can’t find any close matches online. What are y’all’s thoughts on this one?

A seller on a popular auction is now offering dinosaur material from the elrahz formation which to me looks to be of kem kem in origin others members thoughts would be good to help people in making an educated purchase.

Has anyone ever been to the Florida Fossil Hunters show in Orlando? I'm going to be in Orlando that weekend finishing up a work conference and thought I may check it out. Any dinosaur material vendors? Does anyone have any pictures from the show from years past?
