MateuszN06 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello two days ago I bought a Majungasaurus teeth. For me it is real teeth but I have to ask you about because I'm not sure (of course I want to be sure). Can you please tell is it real teeth ? Thank you for all of your answers on this topic

7 inches long, seller stated it has repairs but no restoration. He said the root is from the original tooth, the root looks suspect but I’m no expert

Looking to see if anyone thinks this might be something interesting. When I first saw it I thought perhaps it was the base to an Eospermatopteris but I think I may be a little too excited on this one. Found near Caanan, NY on a mountain in some dug up ground. Hoping it’s more than just a rock but it looks cool either way. I noticed there is some (fossilized??) lichen on it. The bottom is very flaky which adds to my skepticism about it being a fossil. Thanks to anyone that takes a look!

Location: Greece, Crete, Chania coast (NW Crete) Context: beach, in sand Date found: July 2023 Size: 11,5 cm * 8 cm * 3,5 cm Hi! We have found what we think is a fossilised oyster and we want help either confirming or rejecting this. What do you think? is it an oyster? Is it a fossil? How old? What else do you know or think? //Piranhas

I found these in central KY, dry creek bed areas. I think they may be vertebraes. But I just don’t know… and if so, what kind? Shark? Dino? I have one at least 4 times as big as this one as well! Whale? I’ll add it in another post. Any ideas?

I am right now out in the field, attempting to extract a string of articulated reptile vertebrae in the lower Atco. It is in a soft marl bed just a few feet above the basal Atco. There seems to be articulated ribs associated with the specimen, and so far I have uncovered 14 verts. 9 of them were lose of the surface and bagged in ziplocks, but now I am trying to get the rest out. If anyone has any advice, I need it! The specimen also has articulated ribs. I want to get this thing home tonight, and not destroyed. This is is my first time attempting to extract vertebrae, and I want to do it right and get it home tonight. It is currently 8:54 p.m. here in North Texas. Here are some pictures of the bones when I found them and where the dig is now. I don’t know what exactly it is, but I am guessing juvenile Mosasaur. Age is Earliest Coniacian. 9 verts were on the surface, and at least 6 more uncovered with ribs. Pictures incoming: All 9 verts. @Uncle Siphuncle @erose

First fossil finds - The Warren, Folkestone - Need help ID’ing
CrazyDrain posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi Everyone, Hoping to have some help finding out what these are (appreciate that some these will probably just be some random rock or stone). First picture is just the results from a couple of times going around the rocks or beach at the Warren, Folkestone which I don’t think is terrible for not really knowing what we are doing! The up close ones i’m not entirely sure what they are if anything at all! Also for reference thats a 2p coin don’t think that its obvious to see. any thing else can help you help me let me know and thank you in advance! Pic 2/3 are the same one just different sides. Pic 5/6 are also the same just different sides. thinking probably just a stone but no idea: Also appreciate this one is almost certainly a rock - but my daughter (5) is adamant its something so posting just to confirm if it i!

Hi Guys, On my adventures in Banff a few weeks ago I found a sinohydrosaur fossil for sale which I fell in love with. Admittedly I was concerned on transporting it back to Australia considering the almost 18 hour journey and not being allowed as carry on. Even with all the cushioning I could offer the specimen it ended up cracked in half. Thankfully (maybe) it did so along the tail side and the break appears to be somewhat clean. Having never had to fix something of this nature and not knowing the rock it's embedded in and this being my first fossil I would love any insight into how I could restore this. Also I'm not going to like the answer but what % of value do you think I have lost due to the damage? Thanks in advance!! - oedinum (read as sad)

So I have this crinoid I wanted to prep with my new vaniman, but I am not skilled enough for this prep. I've done a couple crinoid calyx's and some with the arms, but this one has some fine detail showing through and I am worried I will destroy it. If there is anyone on here that I could turn to for help on this or any suggestions as to who to take it to would be phenomenal. The whole column wraps around the matrix. There are a few spots where the pinnules are showing. I have a terrible camera so I can only show a photo of the largest section showing. I'm not sure what species it is. Found on Partridge Point in Alpena. I believe the Thunder Bay Formation. Middle or Late Devonian.

Hello! I found this at a cretaceous seabed which also has heavy foot traffic. The "white" circles look to have an opalescent sheen much like slight mother-of-pearl, but I'm not entirely convinced whether or not itv is Fossil or man-made. Any ideas? It really is tiny. (ps please excuse my horrible nail polish and the pants overwintering indoors in the background)

Hello everyone! I have a couple of coral samples here that I can't really id... maybe some of you have an idea? one seems to be a sample of Pocilloporidae and the other one resembles the honey comb corals... The sample blocks the corals were found in were dated MIS11 (SL43 2) and Pleistocene (ST73 2), but the corals themselves haven't been dated yet. SL43 2 average calice diameter 1,25 mm ST73 2 calice diameter around 0,8 mm And if anyone is interested in discussing a couple of other samples, that would be great! Either way, thank you for your help! P.S. unfortunately I don't know how to change the tif documents to jpg 473959284_SL432.tif 606901256_SL432a.tif 2069032143_SL432b.tif 1235833768_ST732.tif 1470654762_ST732a.tif 2068685418_ST732b.tif 2009449191_ST732c.tif

Hello Probably concretion but seeking a second opinion. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I went to Flagponds in Calvert County MD a few weeks ago and came back with my biggest *actual* fossil haul so far (I posted here my first time with about 50 barnacle pieces)! I know there are a few ray plate fragments in here, and I've included what I think are bone pieces although I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, I'm having a lot of trouble identifying my shark's teeth, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I'll post numbered photos of my finds with this. If anyone needs a zoomed in, clearer or different angle pic I'm happy to provide more. (Advance apologies for the broken down photos, these teeth are really tiny so I had to take multiple pics to make them visible)

Hello. I am new around here so I hope this is the place to put this. I am looking for ways to ID everything that we have gathered on a state field trip for my son's 4-H project. I have the booklet that one of the state project leaders put together that lists what is supposed to be found where but that is all. It does have some pictures in the back but they are mostly line drawing type pictures in black and white so they are are tell what stuff is. Kansas does have a website that they have some pictures on but some times it isn't the greatest to use. I also have so many questions that I am not sure where to start. I will just number the biggest ones. 1. In the booklet we have it lists the things we should be able to find. If it isn't listed there does it mean we can't find it there?? 2. Kind of ties in with number 1 because we found stuff that looks like it could be one of two different things. How do you tell the difference between the two? Do we just assume it is the one that is listed in the book if the other possibility isn't listed? For example: One fossil we found looks to me like it could be either Phylum: Mollusca; Class: Gastropoda; Genus: Pharkidonotus or Phylum: Mollusca; Class: Gastropoda; Genus: Knightites. However only the Pharkidonotus was listed as being a possible find in that area. 3. If what they list as a possibility to find all that will be there is there a place you can go and just type in the name of the fossil and or rock and it will bring up pictures? Can I do that here or do I just have to scroll though all of the posts? I think that will get us started at least. I still need to wash all of our stuff and I can post pictures if needed. I am afraid though that I won't be able to get great pictures because some of this stuff is super tiny and my camera doesn't do well with small stuff. Thank you all so very much for any and all help as we sure need it.

Is this a real Tyrannosaurus fossil?
Big Mac boi posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I found this tyrannosaurus Caudal Vertebrae online and the website says it has a little restoration and claims it's a tyrannosaurus fossil so what do you all think?

A geologist thinks this could be bone? Need help to ID this crystallized discovery.
HaidaGwaiiBeachFinds posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi Everyone, This is a beach-find from Haida Gwaii, Canada. I realize it’s not a fossil, but perhaps because someone has already said it’s most likely bone- I was looking for more help to narrow (or marrow!) it down. Approx 20cmx20cm Thank you!! I appreciate your input.

This is a piece of fossilized bone I bought over the summer. It was sold as being from a centrosaurus. I understand that a perfect ID is impossible, but I was wondering if any one had an idea of what type of dinosaur it could be from, if it even is dinosaur. I was also hoping to find out what type of bone it is. It had an interesting shape to it so I was hoping if nothing else, where in the skeleton it could have been from. It says it’s from the Judith River formation, and the only locality given is eastern Montana. Again I don’t think it’s possible to tell exactly what it’s from, I was just hoping for some general description.
