Hi guys and gals! I found this mystery fossil a few years ago and the people I spoke to at SMU and the Perot are not sure as to what it is. I thought I throw it out here and see what opinions you all might have. Thanks for taking the time to look and try to help. Woodbine Formation : 95-98mya North Texas

Two in one post: possible Allosaurus tooth and Marshosaurus tooth
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Fossil ID
I’m wondering if these two teeth (both are from the Morrison Formation in Moffat County, Colorado) have been identified correctly as Allosaurus and Marshosaurus. Here are the measurements of both: Allosaurus: 4cm long serration count is 10/5mm on anterior and posterior carinae base length is 21mm and base width is 13.5 mm (note from dealer: Please note that the base of this tooth is broken and the transition of enamel to root is not present. The base measurement may have been larger.) Marshosaurus: 4cm long serration count is 18/5mm on anterior and posterior carinae base length is 15 mm and base width is 8mm (note from dealer: Please note that the base of this tooth is very near the enamel to root transition a represents a fairly complete tooth.) The serrations on the anterior keel of the tooth extend two-thirds of the distance from tip to base. Images seem to be weirdly mismatched, but I think it’s pretty easy to tell which pictures match with which.

Hello people, glad I found this forum as I love fossil hunting but am never sure of what I find, beyond speculation. I found this little piece resting on the sand earlier today at Whitecliff Bay on the Isle of Wight. Any thoughts? I’ve taken a few pictures to try to give some indication of size. TIA

Saw this one listed as a tully monster online, but I'm decently sure that its been misidentified. Am I correct on this?

Here are some fossils from Lost River, WV. They were found near the Needmore formation roadside quarry. These fossils are not from the Needmore formation, instead they are from the Clinton Group. The Clinton Group, from what I found during my research, is composed of the Keefer and Rose Hill formations.

So, I have a nice collection of fossils ive found from 2 seperate trips to Aurora... I was told the straight and curved bones could be ribs (most likely dolphin), but I am unsure. I also have a 2-3 inch bone that lolks like it could be from a land animal. I also have 3 different vertebrates from something... One is medium-small, one is small, and then the other one is really small lol. Then, in the last picture and in the middle of the row... I have no idea what it could be, it looks like an imprimt of a plant maybe? I found another one and its red, but I forget where I put it... At the beginning of that same row it seems to be sharks teeth but their all on a row... And the last fossil on that row looks to be a dolphin tooth. (Sorry I know its a lot of fossils.... We can knock them out one at a time, right? )

Is this a fossil and if so what is it? (Found In Wales on a pile of rocks)

Hi, I recently got this cretaceous mammal tooth from the Hell Creek formation, and I was wondering if you may help me find the scientific name of the species that it belonged to. I've done some research and learned that it was the premolar of a Multituberculate mammal. This order of mammals was diverse and there were many species. I think it might be one of the members of the Genus, Mesodma, Yet I could be wrong. I tried to narrow it down to the exact species, yet there are few examples to help me pinpoint to a certain Id. This tiny tooth is from Garfield County, Montana. it is from the late cretaceous period (~67 - 66 Ma). It measures approximately at 3/16" long by 3/16" wide (5 mm x 5 mm). It is thin and blade-like towards the top of the crown. The enamel has a grooved texture on the surface. The overall shape of crown resembles a saw blade. Hopefully I would be able to id. this specimen and to learn more about it. Feel free to ask me for better images.

Hey guys we found a box of whole body fossils in a box in my dads room after he had passed away. Could you guys be so kind and help me identify these guys and what would be recommended ways to help preserve them.

Found this in a big boulder along a creek in eastern Oklahoma. Is this a fossil, and if so...what is it? Thanks for your help!

Is this a fossil? It was found in Wales

I was wondering whether this belongs to a Eurypterid. The only recorded genus of Eurypterids at the locality is Truncatiramus. Formation: Bloomsburg-Williamsport Formation. Age: Silurian. Other recorded fossils: Tentaculites sp., Klodenella sp., and Stromatapora sp. Second photo:

Hey! I'm a bit new to this, so please forgive me A friend recently gave me a bunch of fossils she bought a while ago. I've been trying to identify them - most of them are relatively straightforward, but I'm not sure whether this fossil is a piece of coral or a byrozoan (fossil length 4cm). Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello! I’m back from a trip to Texas, and while there I did quite a lot of fossil hunting. I’m not going to be uploading everything here (because I found quite a bit and I feel a bit bad putting so many), but I figured I’d post the ones I’m most stumped on. I’d really appreciate any help. I’m on mobile, so I’m not sure if these will upload in order (they should, but if not I’ll fix it on PC soon). 1: Not sure what this is, but I really like how it’s intact on both sides. Found at Benbrook Lake, Fort Worth to the left of the marina. 2: My dad is mostly interested in this one. Maybe it’s just a rock, but I do think its formation and little cracks are interesting. Also from Benbrook. 3. Looks pretty cool (though I’m not confident in any guesses I could have). Benbrook Lake. 4. I actually got this one identified before at a museum, but I want to hear everyone’s thoughts without influence (because it ended up being pretty cool and I’d like to know for sure). Found in Paluxy by a river that another fossil hunter recommended. 5. This has a teeny little imprint, if you can see that. Maybe some little wormy thing? Not sure! Found in Benbrook. Again, I’d be so thankful for any help and I had lots of fun collecting everything. Will probably upload all the rest at some point.

Hi all, I found this specimen while exploring the desert around Las Vegas. Does anyone know what I’m looking at?

Hi there! I’m coming back from a trip to Texas, and I’ve gone fossil hunting a few times while there (figured I might as well since I’m out of state). I’ve found a few ammonites and other Cretaceous fossils before, which I’ll get uploaded here later— however, I was hoping to see if anyone knew what this funny looking rock might be. I’m not great at identifying fossils yet, but we all agreed we thought it looked like some kind of coprolite. Found in Fossil Creek Park, Texas right by the creek. I’d appreciate any help :-)

Any ideas ? No (visible) foramen. Approx 1” x 1.5”

Found this on a FossilID subreddit. Could this be an asaphellus fezouataensis?

Hi, I have this mystery piece of what appears to be anomalocarid appendage of sorts. The problem is I did not receive any information with it and it came out of an old collection from Maine, Usa. I'm not to sure what else it could be from the appearance but I am also very uncertain of the exact species. The piece of a very laminated sparkly shale If I had to guess it could've came from either Burgess Shale, Utah, or Nevada but I not sure what locality it could be from so if anyone if familiar with these shales and can tell from the preservation it would be a huge help, thank you and looking forward to seeing peoples opinions, and if anyone can recommend an expert to show that would also help.

I saw this little black thing on a crinoid plate, and I haven't been able to figure it out. It looks almost like a trilobite cheek or a cephalon or maybe even a crinoid calyx shard. Anyone know what it is?

Genuine Smilodon Canine?
Huntonia posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I found this upper canine from a Smilodon for sale online. The number of surface imperfections lead me to believe the tooth is authentic though it could be a particularly well done cast. The seller has a couple other Smilodon fossils both of which seem legitimate. However the fossil is coming from China and I hear falsified fossils are very common in China. I would greatly appreciate another opinion thanks.

I was looking through my biggest piece of matrix from Judith river (it’s filled with shells unlike the other ones) and I noticed this poking out. It was very easy to remove. This doesn’t look like the two other shed teeth I have is this one unworn with a root attached? And is it also a ceretopsian? .4 inches long.
