More Information On Enchodus marchesettii? papers, ect.
Mioplosus_Lover24 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
In my collection I have an Enchodus marchesettii, but in doing more research I am unsure about the relationship it has to other Enchodus, and it's spread as there seem to be very very few specimens, and most are mislabeled Eurypholis or Spaniodon. I am just very interested if anyone has any papers on Lebanon fish. -
Keichousaurus - real, fake, altered?
Wrangellian posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Came across this one and wondered if it was fake or doctored. I have my suspicions - for one, the legs look disproportionate, but I wouldn't know. I wouldn't mind having one of these if it's real and the price is right. This is the only pic available... maybe not big enough to tell anything for sure? but I know some of you have a pretty good eye! -

Or is there certain indications that you look for that say that there may

Does anyone know what the creek going through the campus of William and Mary is called? I hear it has a lot of fossils.
RiseOfTheExtinct posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Does anyone know? I hear there's many fossils there. On all of the maps, though, there's no name for the creek. I know it's random, but I just want to try hunting there with a friend. Thanks! ~RiseOfTheExtinct -
It has come to my attention that there is some incorrect (or inaccurate) information in regards to fossil sites in the Old Line State, so I thought it would be helpful to point out some of those that I've caught. 1. Jasper Burn's Foreknobs Formation Site from Allegany County, MD This is listed under the Devonian aged sites, as the Foreknobs is a late Devonian unit (probably referred to as Chemung in his book). He says that the site occurs along Route-40/48, however upon my further review that road doesn't actually exist, but rather his "Rt-40/48" is actually Interstate

The fossil record suggests specialist species are most vulnerable to dramatic ecological shifts, whether geologic and climatic in nature. Photo by Arjen de Ruiter/Shutterstock BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Which species are worth saving? Which species will survive global warming? Which will thrive? Conservationists are facing hard questions and tough decisions as they anticipate a warming climate. Some scientists are looking to the fossil record for help. Recently, a team of paleontologists led by Alycia Stigall set out to mine the fossil record for clues as to the future ch

I have been trying to find out some info about the tooth I have. As far as I can tell it's an alopias grandis, and much bigger than others I have seen online. I'm mainly trying to find out what it may be worth and/or where I could sell it.
