Hi I was wondering what your opinions are on these if they're real or fake, or any work done on them ? There's two of them. Labeled as - Lacustrine Stromatolite colony's, no work done on them. First - from the Permian age, Lauterecken formation, Germany Second - from Oligocene age, Rhineland Germany

Hello, any thoughts on this ? it is sold as tanystropheus tooth from Middle Triassic deposits of Wurzburg, Germany. 17mm in length. Edit: Formation is Muschelkalk. Hope it checks out. I've always had a fondness for long neckes tanystropheus. I see nothosaur teeth look similar, but seem to be quite distinctly curved, so im hopeful this isnt as misidentified nothosaur. Thanks

Hi all, I was playing with my poop a while back, as one does, and discovered a hidden treasure. I prepped out what I think is a nice little floating crinoid. It looks beefier than the Saccocoma in my collection. Can anyone verify that is what this is? Thanks a bunch!

I've been visiting the shark tooth site here in the Lake of Constance region quite regularly, since it makes for a nice bike ride to get there and it's also a relatively relaxing activity. I figured I could show you some of the things I've been finding over the last few weeks. Please feel free to revise my ids if they aren't correct. Physogaleus contortus. 18mm. Carcharhinus sp. 15mm. Carcharius acutissima. 16mm. Carcharias sp. 25mm. Araloselachus cuspidatus. 12mm. Carcharhinus priscus. 11mm. Sparus cinctus. 7x5mm. Mitsukurina lineata. 21mm. Araloselachus cuspidatus. 25mm. Carcharodon hastalis. 25mm.

I found this today at my favorite shark tooth site in the Miocene Burdigalian and was wondering if it might be a chub? It's kinda small for a megatooth with a slant length of 13mm., but the serrations and shape have got me thinking.
-
I found this today at the Early Miocene Burdigalian site and was wondering if this might be a Cetacean tooth. It's missing most of the tip, but I think it's still possible to judge. It's 2cm. long.

I visited my favorite shark tooth site in the Miocene Burdigalian again today and along with the usual teeth I dug out the following objects. The first is obviously a vertebra, and I don't think it's fishy, but rather mammalish in my humble opinion. But I'm not at all sure about that. I've found teeth from Cervidae here before, so I'm thinking that maybe that's the case with the vertebra? Measurements: Ø13-15mm x15mm. long. I haven't got a clue on the next 2 items. The first is 10x4mm. and the second 15x5mm. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello all My friend recently got this tooth from the famous Solnhofen Plattenkalk, and he really wants to know what the tooth belonged to. He is hoping for something like Archaeopteryx or Compsognathus. I personally don't think it belongs to either of those (although I love this tooth, it's very beautifel), but can't really tell which it is. I've heard everything ranging from dinosaur to fish for this one. Could any of you help? Specifics of the tooth: Size: 9mm Age: Thitonian (Late Jurassic) Seems to be unserrated Has some kind of 'ditch' similar to what you see on teeth of Acheroraptor temertyorum. These two pictures are all I have, got them from my friend and they are the same the seller used.

Hello everyone! I don't know if anyone would be interested but I have this Apateon pedestris I purchased a while ago that I would love to trade for something else. The fossil is from the Permian Pfalz formation in Odernheim, Germany. The shale it is on is 8 cm x 10 cm

Upper Campanian foraminifera from Northern Germany. We found in the quarry of Laegerdorf near Hamburg. We think it is a Lituola. What's your opinion ? It is agglutinated and the specimens have such areal, multiple openings. See more of our finds at https://foraminifera.eu/loc.php?locality=Laegerdorf+Neue+Heidestrasse

Branchiosaurus (Apateon pedestris) specimen
Owl_Roker posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello Fossil Folks, I am considering bidding on the below Branchiosaurus (Apateon pedestris) specimen. Description says it is from the Permian Period (c. 290.1–283.5 Ma)—recovered in Germany. What is your take on the (1) authenticity and (2) prep work? If you have seen similar specimens, how does this one compare in terms of overall quality? Thanks, Robert -

Here is another item from my unidentified drawer I'm hoping someone will be able to put a name on. Thanks.
-
I found this today at my local shark tooth site in the Miocene Burdigalian. It's a rather unique find for this site if I'm correct in thinking that this is really a bone fragment. It's not all that well preserved, so if it is one, it's probably not easy to identify, but I thought I'd give it a try here anyway. It's 3cm. long. Anybody have an idea?
-
Hi guys, I normally collect only bones but in the layers where I collect them, coprolites are also often abundant. But mostly they are not very well preserved so I don't take them with me. This one is the best one I found so far and I wonder if it might be possible to find out which animal "produced" it It comes from the so called "Grenzbonebed", which is a triassic layer between Muschelkalk and Keuper. Its approximately 4 cm long. It would be great if someone can help here. Maybe @GeschWhat? My personal guess would be that it comes from a fish (maybe shark)... Thanks and stay healthy!
