I found this grapefruit sized (possibly tooth) getting washed up in the surf in Georgetown, South Carolina, USA. I have found what I believe to be Pleistocene Horse & Bison teeth on the same beach. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. This fossil was found in the high desert east of Bend, Oregon, but is not likely from this area. Most of the fossils in this area are wood…I’ve never heard of anyone finding a shell. I found it placed next to a trail that is used daily by many people. I have no idea who left it or where it is from. The only photos I have found online that looked close were for a couple of New Zealand keyhole limpet fossils which were documented in the 1970’s. The fossil has a hole in it that looks similar to a keyhole, but is partially filled in and not visible from the inside of the shell. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Everyone, I’m rather fond of Giant Alopiids, and I have taken to collecting them. I find it strange that such a wonderful, yet mysterious creature remains relatively unknown and scantly studied. I may have space in my high school schedule for an independent study senior year, and I’ve considered using it to make a poster or paper on their morphology, taxonomy, phylogeny and such for The Rostrum or something. However, I’ve heard tell that there is already a comprehensive paper on giant alopiids in the works. We’ll see if there will be anything left for me to discuss. Anyway, collecting them is a slow process as they are quite rare and I am quite cheap (I have yet to find one myself). I thought I’d make a thread to show off what I have thus far and to keep them cataloged for myself. Hopefully this page will grow as time goes on Dashes are around 1 inch apart.

Giant Limestone ammonite Fake or real
Jaime posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, Could anyone Tell me if this Fossil Is real? I bought in México, it Is supposed to be from the State of Coahuila, it Is over 600 mm. The specimen was kept in an old man garaje not for sale, i saw it and i bought it from him.... He had another one from different genus that definetly was real from the same location but it was in a very bad condition, so i only buy this one. Thanks for any help!! -
Removed from a stream boulder, this Greenops like pygidium is larger than most complete Devonian trilobites from NY. Im not sure to what the exact species is so Im just calling it Greenops like. The age is Middle Devonian from Livingston County, New York. This could have been a near 5 inch bug if complete. Based on the dimensions of the largest complete Greenops sp. I have found in the collected area. From near spine tip to spine tip wide - 2.3" (58.50mm) Around 1.6" - 1.7" long (42mm)

This was apparently published in September 2018, but it slipped past me and I’m posting it here in case it slipped past my fellow thresher lovers. The allusive serrated giant thresher has been named Alopias palatasi. Of course if you like Trigonotodus better, it is Trigonotodus palatasi. Now when I add one to my collection in the far far future, I can finally put a good label to it! Here is the description: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327871783_Kent_Ward_2018_Alopias_palatasi
