It has been a few years since I posted an update on my woolly rhino composite skeleton. Due to regulation change, not a whole lot of bones are fished out of the North Sea these days. So I haven't gotten many new bones in recent years. But last week I got a whole bunch of extra bones so I got the rhino out of the many boxes I have it stored in for the most time and so it's time for another progress update. For those who've missed my previous posts. I have been collecting wooly rhino (coelodonta antiquitatis) bones for over a decade now ever since I got a few leg bones for my birthda

Greetings! I deal in decor (house/office), and have requests on mamonth tusks from clients in the USA, Canada and some European countries. My question is - is it generally legal to import pieces of mamonth tusk to the above mentioned countries? (not big once, small pieced which can fit on a desk/table). Will be very grateful for any information on this matter! Thank you, Mark.

Hello together, I just remembered an interesting specimen I have had for many years, my uncle gave it to me when I was a kid. Unfortunately I have no information on its origin. It has some structures that may be diagnostic to the right eye though. Some pictures of rudists I recently saw reminded me of its general appearance, but now looking at it again I wonder if it is a big gastropod columella. the reddish middle part marked in black is actually standing out much more than the flashlight-picture shows, with cavities left and right that may have connected behind before being covered

I was answering questions on Horse tooth identification in the Netherlands, and thought of something that I really did not know. I learned the conventional wisdom. Horses started in South America, migrated across a land bridge to North America, and eventually crossed the land bridge near what is today the Bering Strait, into the rest of the world. Horses went extinct in the Americas. In the 1500s, Spaniards reintroduced horses into the Americas. So, How far back in the fossil record do Horses go outside of the Americas? I have no idea, beyond thinking we had Equus in Flori

Belemnitella americana (Morton, 1830) and European belemnitellids
Fossilsforever posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello all, I am a new member and really interested in belemnites (prehistoric 'squid'). In the United States of America, belemnites (Belemnitida) can be collected at specific locations. I know that around Delaware (Canal) and New Jersey (Big Brook area) the belemnitellid Belemnitella americana (Morton, 1830) occurs. I am interested if anyone has some photo's of that american belemnite species. The Navesink formation and other Cretaceous layers are around 70-66 million years old. Is this correct? I have read that New Jersey was under water during th- 16 replies

Help! I am looking for fossilhunt spot in Belgium (Easy Access)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Europe
Hi everyone. I was hoping some of our European members might be able to help me out a little. I am currently at home due to depression, burn-out and severe anxiety attacks all related due to the COVID-19 situation (I work in a essential store and I belong to the risk groups, so after 6 months the stress finally became too much). Long story short, I haven’t left the house since march (except for work), the only 4 times I left was because I had to go to the doctor. But now I am at home and I am currently in therapy with a psychologist and the natural next step is to finally ventu -
Hello, I am looking to see if anyone can give their opinion on what this fossil is created from, I come across many fossils in areas i go looking for them but have not come across anything looking like this. It is approx 230mm in width from left to right in this picture and 200mm in height from top to bottom. Cant give photos from the back etc as it is on top of a large boulder. Hope it is something that jumps out for someone. Eoin.

Hi guys, my last find an then i’m out for the moment, did my research, but at the moment I see shapes in every rock.. Can you take a peak if this is of interest? I Do see small shell shaped forms, but i’m not sure what the 4 to 5 round, and smooth impression are, they are smooth as silk, and vinger top size ( on boths sides present, furthermore the lobster red shape, that looks a bit lime a shrimp to me. Some location: Doesburg Holland, most likely Pleistocene deposit layer, exposed due to sand mining. i’ll post some overview shots, follwed by some magni

Hi all, just got into fossils as a hobby, please see my introduction message i just posted. As a MD i have some knowledge on bone structure and shape, ofcourse not perfect with animals. I’ve several fossils found by my dad over the last 20y and myself last months. Literally in the backyard. (<< Town in Holland aka the Netherlands, Europe>>) Crucial in this is area is used for sand mining. This has resulted in a large lake, with depts up to 100meter (200+ft i believe. The water is fed by an old river, called ‘oude ijssel’. I will split this in batches, to ke

A friend has an odd fossil that appears to be a fruit. It's from a Miocene coal deposit in Germany. The tag says Magnoliaspermum sp. There doesn't seem to be much about this genus on the web though I did find a reference to a species, M. geinitzii. Is it a form genus for fruits that may be associated with magnolias or is it an extinct genus related to magnolias or something else? I don't know a lot about fossil plants other than the general history and I don't have a reference for it. The formation is given as Braunkohle Lignite but "Braunkohle" is the German word for lignite

Hi guys, I have found an egg-like potential fossil, but I am totally amateur to the topic yet a very intuitive person, and as I was googling how to know if it really is a fossil or not I have stumbled upon this forum and thought to start a thread. Please help me find out if this is a fossil or just a pseudo one

Hello everyone! Like most Europe, here in Bulgaria the winter is also very warm. Today we had 16C with totally clrear sky, so I decided to go hunting on a placed I was gathering info. 150Km from Sofia to the North, is the village of Belotintsi. There is a small Gorge formed by a creek "Nechinska bara" and the outcrops are part of Jurassic of Bulgaria. My source was the National history museum of Sofia and some publications of professors found online. The initial goal was to observe mostly the area as I was little tired for climbing and not properly prepared in terms

Almost a month ago, trying to fight the boredom, I started to sort all the things that inevitably gathered in my basement. In an old box full of things donated by my granparents I found what i think are 2 fragments of bone, I don't know if fossilized or not. I've already called them but they don't rebember exactly how and where they acquired the finds. The only thing they say is that it was a gift from a friend they've encountered during a trip in central / southern europe. I know in the past they visited (apart from other localities in France) Romania, Italy and Austria. Describin
