Howdy everyone! I was hoping y'all could help identify or at least give a broad idea of what kind of animal this beautiful little claw could have belong to. The claw was found in Harding County, South Dakota (Hell Creek formation) and is said to likely come from a large lizard or amphibian. Any thoughts? As always, thank you guys so much! This forum is truly invaluable.

Hi! Sorry if this is out of sudden but recently i came across a landslide and i found this fossil fragments, i have been struggling to identify which animal could they belong, the place is between 2 formations (early pleistocene-late miocene) and while is not in north america, we do share some extinct fauna (Pleistocene-miocene mammals), i hope i can get some hints (some have told me they resemble a rib fragment but i am not sure).

So i found this Ammonite in one of my trips to a late jurassic/early cretaceous marine formation. I posted this same specimen but without preparation and they tell me that is impossible to know without the center area or the inner whorls. Now I prepped this Ammonite and the ribs on the inner whorls are visible. If anybody can tell about the genus or species of this Ammonite i'll be very greatful. Thanks!

I recieved these ammonites, along with many other items, from an old collection. I have no idea where they come from, although the previous owner was Dutch, so I'd expect them to be from somewhere in Europe. I also suspect that both pieces come from the same place, as they have the same shell imprint in their matrix. The collection also came with heavily pyritised nautilus fossils (some of which had pyrite disease) which may or may not come from the same location. Ammonite 1: I tried preparing this one, but the matrix contains too much pyrite.

I have just bought these from a collector and the labels are a little jumbled. I have left them in the section they were in if there is a double set in one and no label in another! I have enough labels to go round a little help with where is needed! I can obviously take more photos if required. There is some beautiful ones in here, I am really pleased with them.

Hello I found the fossil in the first two pictures a few seasons ago. I suspect it's a tooth. And the last picture was a fossil I found that was a caramel color but I sanded it and it's turning white and sounds like a piece of porcelain when tapped against a stone .Can anyone help me ID both please. Found in the Peace River 2020

This is being sold as a Thescelosaurus toe. I'm having doubts as I've never seen a Thescelosaurus claw this curved, most are far more flat on the ventral side. Any opinions? From Hell Creek formation, Jordan, Montana. Size 10cm / 3.9"

This is being sold as a Pachycephalosaurus tooth from Hell Creek Formation, Montana, USA. Size 10mm / 0.4" I find it hard to distinguish between Pachycephalosaurus, Thescelosaurus and Ankylosaur/Nodosaur teeth, is this really Pachy?

Found in the badlands of Alberta. I put it in my hand to show you the size. If anyone has any idea it would be greatly appreciated. What dinosaur would this I think leg bone belong to?

I have recently bought a mixed bag of random verts that I am wanting to use to make little kids boxes for my shop. I know there is many different types etc in here but I wondered if there is some general info that could be gleened, rough age, fish sizes are the longer ones from a specific part of the spine etc? They are just a little pocket money buy for the kids but the last thing I want to be doing is telling them wrong information! Thank you for your time

Hello all I need some help ID-ing some strange fossil fragments I have found in the central Alberta Red Deer river valley. The two large pieces were found upstream from Drumheller Alberta near the Red Deer river. The shape & texture looks like it could be frill fragments & the three small pieces were found on my friends property very close to Drumheller. The three small fragments once piece looks like a jaw fragment and the other two have me stumped? The bumpy spongy looking one with holes could maybe be a scute & the other looks like a tooth with a Ridge down the middle. Any help to ID is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help identify these possible fossils found in the Hokianga Harbour in New Zealand?

This came out of a box of fossil bone I received from a fossil hunter out in eastern Mississippi. The only story I got with them was that they were found on the Eutaw Formation and Tombigbee Sand, and collected across Lee, Monroe, Itawamba and Chickasaw counties. These bones are a huge mix of Cretaceous and later material. I found some fossil mammal teeth mixed in, including what looks like a chip of mastodon tooth. So, they were all mixed together in the box. Because I’m a fan of impossible tasks, I’ve taken to trying to ID and catalog some of the material. Out of this box I pulled this bone—it looks to be the worn proximal head of either a humerus or tibia. My next question would be—is there a way to determine a Cretaceous dinosaur from a Pleistocene mammal? I know you can sometimes tell based on the growths of the trebacular bone, but that I’m still learning. You’ll probably see me on this sub-forum a lot as I refine my search image. I took…a myriad of photos. Inside and outside, with tape measure. I can take more detailed photos on request. Maybe I can get some light shed on this while learning something new. Thanks for your time. I may have had some trouble uploading the photos and video, I’m doing this on my phone with a cracked screen. I can post more detailed photos in comments if necessary.
