  2. Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale Hello! I have opened this structure a long time ago and I always wondered what it could be since it seemed like bone. I have other small sized bony structures, most that I assume are coprolites of some sort and I would love to know what this is!

    Devonian Fish

    Hello everyone I bought this fossil fish online recently. It appears to have disarticulated insitu (which really spoke to me about how I feel about 2020 :-D). It was advertised as Osteolepis panderi originating from the Sandwick Beds. However I know that this cannot be right as Osteolepis Panderi is a mid devonian fish but the Sandwick Beds are early devonian. I figured there are several options. Either this fish is an osteolepis panderi but not from the Sandwick Beds. Or this fish is not an osteolepis panderi (perhaps osteolepis macrolepidotus) and from the Sandwick Beds. Or perhaps the description is completely wrong altogether! Given the disarticulated nature of the remains I honestly have no idea how to go about ID-ing it. Any thoughts anyone has on this are very welcome. Kind regards
  6. I`m looking for the id of this fossil fish from the santana formation brazil. It`s around 60cm long. Thanks
  7. Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie Creek Shale From a collection of Muncie Creek Shale nodules Specimen #1: Starting with the best preserved specimen ( I think this is for sure a fish mandible) backside of the nodule Complete nodule More Images: https://imgur.com/a/3rhBqsR Specimen #2: had flash on in order to make it easier to see More images: https://imgur.com/a/7S3iJIA Specimen #3: This one I was not too sure about as it was only half a nodule when I found it, which unfortunately means most of it is eroded and were unable to find its other half It seems to have the general shape of the first specimen I had even though it's missing most of its pieces If I need to retake some images please let me know! I wish to identify what these belonged to.
  8. Hey all, I've got a beautiful plate from Green River containing two Priscaceras. The stone itself however is kind of ugly, and I'd like to at least egalize the colours of the stone if possible. Would that be possible, and how could I do that? How about slightly scuffing the stone itself?

    Seaton Sluice Fossils

    Hi I heard about seaton sluice and other carboniferous exposures along the coast. I understand that bivalves etc can be found there but can fish remains be found there? If not is there anywhere else in Northumberland/County Durham where carboniferous fish remains can be found?

    Moroccan Mystery

    Hi Y'all, I am new here During the lockdown (in the Netherlands) I started cleaning and documenting my collection. There are a few things I am not sure about. So if anyone could help, Yes please So this thing I am not sure what I am looking at. The thing that is weird to me is that if you look at it from the tip it lloks like a +. This wants to make me cross out a dinosaur but the bone structure does not look like a fish. Sooo I am a bit confuzed Measurements are LxHXB 24cmx5.1cmx4cm Thank you for looking
  12. Hello! I have considered entering a competition on instagram. The competition requires you to create an accurate reconstruction of a lesser known prehistoric fish. The problem is that I am not so knowledgeable on prehistoric fishes, and I cannot name one that I haven't seen art for. I would like to study a fish, and hopefully create an accurate (or semi-accurate) reconstruction of that fish. Here is the instagram post containing the rules for the contest. (Feel free to participate if you are up for the challenge.)
  13. Hello together, I am tidying up a bit and came across this piece between the flower pots on my windowsill. I can not remember buying it, and I can not remember finding it. As I do not often find vertebrate fossils (as this appears to me to be) I would remember finding it. So maybe it was a bonus add on to something I bought, or my fiancé found it without being impressed much, in which case it would be from the coast of Normandy or Bretagne. Could also have been from a box of Chilean whale vertebrae, I also found a penguin humerus among those. My first guess is some kind of fish maxilla, any ideas? Scale is metric. Thanks, J
  14. Hey everyone, I'm brand new to fossil preparation and want to try on a Green River knightia fossil. I'm in Canada though and have no idea where to find unprepped fossils of any kind. I feel like this is something I'd actually be good at as a hobby to get me through some winter blues. I've been obsessed with fossils since I was 3. Does anyone have an idea of where I might find unprepped Green River specimens? Thank you!

    Glen Rose Fish

    From the album: Lower Cretaceous Vertebrate Fossils of Central Texas

    This fossil is in the visitor center at Westcave Preserve in Travis County. The stone was quarried from the Glen Rose Formation near Sisterdale, Kendall Co. This is a little over 10 inches long.

    What is it and what do I do next?

    So building up my conodont collection and getting a scope to get better pics, but I found a 6-8' Pennsylvania shale shelf with huge intact pieces. I found this 2 x 2 1/2' piece with this central fossil fish? Under magnification (photo 4 and 5) there are scales/skin along the "spines"-that picture is at the central aspect of photo 2. I found the positive impression piece several yards away, though there are positive and negative pieces in both. Off one of the "spines". Off the end of one it a short, pointed spine? I can try to get a photo of that. My questions are 1. What is it?- fish? Listracanthus? urchin spines? 2. There appears to be some sort of decomposition of original tissue around some of the spines. Is that a reasonable observation and can anyone explain? 2. How do I clean it further?- the rest of it appears to be under a shale layer at the 7:00 position in photo 2 and 10-11:00 position in photo 3 there is ~12-18" of more shale along that margin 3. Should I just take/donate this to a lab and have them do it? I don't think this is earth shattering, but if its wholly there, could be interesting Thanks for any input! really appreciate the expertise on the forum!! Bone

  22. After taking a little time off from hunting due to a new job and holidays I decided to hit the North Sulphur River with a friend. We had a great day. I love the Tylosaur scapula with shark bites. We found a large Xiphactinus washing out and ended up with one left maxilla and three verts from it. We will go back and check that area again.
