Here's another Cretaceous western fossil that needs an ID. Its either from Hell Creek or Lance Creek (will have to check my records again), and I initially purchased it as a young triceratops nasal horn. After looking at it some more, I'm wondering if it might be an ankylosaur spike, or maybe something else. Thoughts?

I had heard a lot about St Leon and since it was only two hours from my home I decided to spend Monday there. I arrived just before noon and was the only person in sight. I could tell it had been recently visited and expected there to be others since it was a holiday but I remained the only hunter all day. I had read in other reports that visitors are quite astonished at the magnitude of the cut and volume of loose material. Yes, it is a bit overwhelming. It reminded me of old South Carolina oyster bars that had mounds of shells under the houses from patrons throwing the shells through the holes in the floor. In another report it was said that a hunter needn't venture too far up the hillside due to the loose material that had fallen from above however, I noticed that specimens in the lower material seemed a bit worn and fractured. So I made my way up to the level that seemed promising for less weathered specimens and was not disappointed. What surprised me though is how high I went. I'm guessing in that area there's not much distance between the topsoil and fossil bearing stone. Still, most of my finds were loose or easily released with my rock hammer or hammer and chisel. I had originally come for just one thing, trilobites, but couldn't resist picking up some of the common fossils of the area. I'm by no means an expert at correctly naming my finds so here goes; 1,2 & 3) horn corals (Grewingkia canadensis) 4) Lepidocyclus capax 5) Part of a Flexi' (Yay! My first.......piece) 6) gastropod molds 7) haven't figured out the genus 8) cephalopod segments?? 9) some kind of encrusting coral 10) bryozoa?? Against the back drop of jagged stone and brachiopods the spherical shape really stood out. Funny thing is that it was the only one I saw all day I spent about 2 1/2 hours on the east side of the road and about half an hour on the west. After 3 hours everything started looking the same and figured I wasn't doing myself any good and packed it in. On my way out I noticed a sign by the roadside, something about the area being state property and no digging allowed. I mention this because in another thread there was some discussion about a law passed in Indiana preventing fossil collecting from road cuts. I'm thinking that if collecting wasn't allowed it would be so stated so I take it as you can but just don't dig and at St Leon you wouldn't have to.

Hi All, I was recently in the Turkana region of Kenya and I bought a strange looking object from a villager. I think it might be the horn of a goat or a tooth. If anyone could give me more information, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Best, Jess

Here's a dinosaur tooth I found today by my bench grinder. I only spent 15 minutes on it but I can see where with a little more work someone could be fooled into buying it. Ordovician "Grewenkia" dino teeth I started on a Miss. tooth, but discovered it was covered in Beekite, I decided to polish it any way, so here it is.

Hello, My husband found this fossil mixed with gravel that he used for doing some construction work... It was in Brooklyn, NY, but we don't know from where did the gravel come from. Based on the internet search my guess is that this specimen is a horn coral, what do you think? Thanks, Diana

I found this in The Little Miami River basin while kayaking in Cincinnati OH sometime in the early 2000's. It is about 1 inch long and 3/4 wide. It looks to me ( I know little to nothing about fossils) like a toe-nail/claw,horn or tooth. Or not...lol. The back looks to have a vein or bone running thru it. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
