Pleistocene Shells - Rincon Point, Southern California
ezeemonee posted a topic in Member Collections
Many earlier Pleistocene period shells (~1M yrs ago) from a site inland from Rincon Point in Southern California. Got some great ID suggestions from various people on these and was informed that the shattered Trochita (Limpet like slipper shell) is probably one of two undescribed extinct species known from that deposit. Useful ID references for the area: Phill Liff Gieff, Frank Pesca Jr, Thomas Everest, and others https://inyo4.coffeecup.com/santabarbara/santabarbara.html Cyclocardia / Coanicardita - Grant & Gale (1931) Antiplanes - Raymond, 1904 Cantharus fortis (P.

Hello all, I posted a tooth yesterday that you kindly identified for me, and I have a few more fossils that I found that I would really appreciate an identification on. All found on Zandmotor beach, The Netherlands. There are four specimens: 1 A bone with a hole in the middle, seems like a vertebrae(??). Any idea what fragment it really is and maybe what kind of animal it came from? Length: 2.5 cm 2 A bone that I would also like any information about, although it might be really hard to identify. - 4 cm 3 Small, flatter bone. - 4.5 cm 4 Are these petrified wood by any chance? They do feel like a rock and also sound like such when I gently hit them with another rock. There are 3 pieces in total that I have shared. - around 6 cm.

Hello all, Can someone please tell me what animal this tooth belonged to? 4 centimeters - around 1.6 inches Found on the beach: Zandmotor, The Netherlands. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, I went fossil hunting last weekend on the Norfolk coast, UK. A long walk up and down the beach of Happisburgh. Well known for its Ice Age mammal finds. I found a few different pieces, but this one in particular caught my eye. It's been rolled around in the surf somewhat, but I was hoping someone might be able to ID this for me? Because it does retain some shape still, it kind of looked like the end of a femur or tibia? But it does also resemble an ankle bone from a large animal, possibly Mammoth, Rhino or Bison? What do we think? Thanks in Advance, Jim.

What animals lived with humans and mammoths during the Younger Dryas in new england?
braxasaurus posted a topic in Questions & Answers
(I ask for paleoart purposes) what animals lived in the northeastern, more specifically New England, even most specifically massachusetts/cape cod. I want to make a peice with some megafauna that lived during the Younger Dryas, and mabe some early humans if my inability to draw humans becomes at least somewhat better. Thank you!- 5 replies

Hello, I found a seller on online auction site with a lot of cool looking things from northeast China but no IDs for their fossils. The herbivore looks a lot like a sus scrofa piece I have from Florida, I have no thoughts on the carnivore. I'd like to ID before buying if possible. Thanks for any help!

I found this in the dunes near the beach in an uninhabited point off the coast of South Carolina in Charleston harbor. The US army corp of engineers periodically dredge the harbor to make it deeper and dumped the tailing at the tips of islands which is where this was found. The area is where people go to hunt for meg teeth, and you can also find many pieces of fossilized ice age animal bones. Occasionally, bits of stone tools are found there too. Anyway, I’m wondering what animal this might be. More importantly, it looks like humans may have processed it, but I’m not positive. 1. The hole through the middle of the bone is cleanly drilled, straight, and symmetrical all the way through. 2. The bottom is perfectly flat as if it’s been cut and ground down against something. The rest of the bone is not weathered in the same way. The outer edges of bone on the bottom are polished all the way around. 3. The mud/dirt on the flat bottom filling the pores in the bone is also perfectly flat and fossilized in place. For mud to fill the pores, the bone would have needed to be cut flat prior to fossilization. 4. There is evidence of wear around the hole that’s hard to see in the pictures (along the top of the bone, along the inner edges of the hole on both sides). The wear spots match where a string would go if this were tied to something. Does anyone have an idea what animal this is? Could a natural process could have created both the hole and flat bottom? Could this be evidence of paleo indians processing the bone?

Hi all My son and I are going through our fossil finds from Florida. We have been looking through multiple books and websites trying to figure out what this tooth is. We think it's from a tapir but would like the opinions of others with more experience. Thanks in advance! Bret & Zach

Just wanted to share my fossil collection with you guys. Nothing to crazy mostly common stuff, but it's all from a years worth of digging. Everything you see here taught me a lot about identifying fossils. After that year I kinda stopped digging due to personal life reasons and I started new hobbies. That was 10 years and unfortunately I never got back into it till a few weeks ago I started hunting agatized coral and caught the bug again to want to hunt. I'll be posting as I find new stuff. Thanks you!

Hi everyone! I acquired this jaw a few months ago and IDed it as coming from a large Canid. My question is can it be identified further and is there any funny business. Specifically with the Canine which is a different color than the other teeth. I tested the bone in multiple places so I know it's authentic, I'm just wondering if the Canine was found individually and inserted. The placement of a little bit of putty in the socket with the canine doesn't help my suspicions. As for the ID I figure Grey Wolf is the most likely but I'm not to experienced with canid material and was hoping for a second opinion to rule out something like a really big coyote (or rule in something really special like Dire Wolf). The Jaw is from Siberia and measures 18.13 cm long. Let me know if there's any other pics or measurements I can provide and any insight is appreciated as always!

Mammoths and Smilodons stay in the public spotlight, but what about all of the other species?
-
Hey everyone, I'm very new to fossil hunting and collecting, but the collection is growing, and I'm really wanting to get out hunting a lot more. Iv'e looked around North wales and mostly found carboniferous fossils such as coral and also had a few trips to the east coast of England (mainly Whitby and Norfolk) but haven't had a lot of luck there yet except parts of ammonite and the odd belemnite. So anyway, my collection so far. My main interest in ice age animals, especially European and British. But also a keen interest in prehistoric marine life. Fossils so far: Steppe Bison (Bison Priscus) cranium Irish Elk (megalocerous giganteous) cranium Partial Irish Elk (megalocerous giganteous) Left Antler partial Juvenile cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) Jaw Partial Cave lion (Panthera Spelaea) Jaw Partial Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) Right side of Jaw with M2 Molar (and M3 Molar Erupting) Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) Hair sample Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) Fecal sample Woolly Rhino (Coelodonta antiquitatis) hair sample Fossiled Whale Rib bone that has been eaten by a Megalodon (Otodus Megalodon) Megalodon (Otodus Megalodon) Coprolite British Clactonian/Acheulean Bitface Flint Handaxe Lots of smaller pieces of ammonite, Belemnite, carboniferous corals and shells. But lets start off with my most recent purchase. Very happy with it! [removed seller name, as per forum rules] A Half Lower Jaw with M2 and M3 Molars of a Woolly Mammoth. Latin Name: Mammuthus primigenius Site: North Sea, ‘Doggerland’ area Age: Approximately 40.000 years old [removed seller verbiage as per forum rules]

Hello, Just want to ask for some opinions on whether this is a Smilodon incisor and how one would be able to identify it as such since it’s in pretty worn condition, it seems more likely that it could be either dire wolf or bear and that the “Smilodon name” is just to get more attention and money for the fossil? Thanks in advance, appreciate any help!

Hi all, does anyone know why fossils from Cave bears usually are very lightly colored? The dentin and enamel in their teeth also look like they've hardly even been fossilized.

Hello friends. It's been a while since my last post and I wanted to share with you my new acquisitions and, better yet, help me confirm the identification of these specimens. 1: The place of origin is Liaoning, China. 2: The place of origin is Yunnan, China. naraoia? 3: The place of origin is Yunnan, China. Isopyx minor?. 4: The last and my favorite (although a bit fragmented). The place of origin is Harbin, China. I appreciate the ID. They are not the best specimens, but I love these pieces.

I find skulls one of the most interesting pieces of fossil you can ever own. So here I'd love to see all of your fossil skulls, or parts of one. Here is my Pleistocene era skull of a Ursus arctos. An ice age brown bear. Very very uncommon find.

I collect armadillo fossils. All of my fossils have been purchased and I have been able to identify most of them using the internet. The attached photos are from bones I purchased labeled Holmesina carpals. Both seem to be the same bone, one from holmesina septentrionalis and one from holmesina floridanus (my guess). They are both river finds from Northern Florida, USA. I have not been able to find a photo or diagram showing this bone. Does anyone have a photo or diagram showing this bones position in the skeleton. If these bones are not from the Holmesina genus, I would like to know that also.

Pleistocene Juvenile Cave Bear Jaw
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is a Pleistocene Cave Bear jaw from Romania. I'd like to know if this is authentic and if there has been restoration? Thanks. -
I bought parts of an old collection a couple of years ago. It cotained a bunch of peices from the north sea. Some of the fossils came without tags and i would like to ask for some help identifying what type of species they might have came from. First of is this vertebra. As far as come with my own research im guessing woolly rhino?
