Hello I saw this jaw section online for sale, I was wondering what it could be from, the seller listed as albertosaurus but I highly doubt that for many reasons. Anyways I wanted to know what dinosaur group it may have came from, I was thinking maybe ceratopsian or hadrosaur? It’s from Judith river, I also was wondering how (if possible) you tell the difference between a theropod and herbivore jaw section. Many thanks

Hi all! What do you think about this piece? The size is under 2 cm. I'm a bit confused about the structure below the teeth (unfortunately it's shattered and only parts remain). It doesn't look like bone - smooth and transparent and also appears pimply . Is it normal? Middle Oxfordian clay, Moscow vicinity

Dredged from the Smallmouth Sands off Weymouth Harbor, Dorset. Specimen is from the Late Jurassic Epoch, Kimmeridgian Age Clay - between 157.3 to 152.1 +/- Ma (million years ago). Specimen has an exposed tooth (root portion) with enamel measuring 4.72 inches in length and 1.67 inches in width (see measurements all taken with digital calipers). Other measurements include 3.38" in specimen width (maxillary bone) Tooth position appears to be tooth #6 from the very tip of the snout, including the two tiny teeth at the terminus. This is based on angle of projection, texture, and the distinctive bone seam that is visible in some of the photos (#12 in particular) as well as the diagram of P. kevani. Tooth position is indicated via a red dot on diagram. There are also sensory pits (foramina) visible on the outer side of the specimen, as well as exposed bone on the inside portion. A few holes bored in the bone from some sort of marine organism (worms perhaps) prior to fossilization.

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. -
Hello, I have a mosasaur jaw that I wanted to see if it was real or fake. Most of the fakes I've seen were with both the upper and lower jaws. Thank you!

I have never found a jaw like this. The only thing I can find that is similar is tapir which would be pretty rare for this area. Found in south central South Dakota. Miocene

I was digging through old boxes of Un-ID'd material to look for something else and came across this jaw fragment I found a while back. It has no teeth, so I thought the chance for ID was slim. But it does have a distinctive morphology with a large foramen running the length, so maybe someone will recognize it. Boxes are one inch square.

Most of the prep work was done on the other side of this jaw. It was pretty much covered in matrix. I spent ~6 hours today on this piece, and at least 20 hours in the past. Though I made mistakes, I'm pleased with the result of my first serious prep job! Before: After:

Spinosaurus Jaw Piece with Tooth
ConnorR posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I saw this item for sale, said to be a Spinosaurus jaw fragment with an associated tooth glued on. Is it a composite, and does it belong to Spinosaurus? -
I found what are claimed to be Basilosaurus jaws online, and I can't decide whether they're authentic. They definitely have real material, but I have a suspicion that they might be composites. I should also note that they are suspiciously cheap [price redacted]. First one is 15.7 inches: Second one is 24.4 inches:

I was out of town for about 2 weeks and I had a chance to go fossil hunting at a pretty good spot (that post should come out soon). This is a piece of jaw one of my friends found with two teeth in it. Based off of the amount of gar scales found there my closest guess would be gar jaw, could anyone correct me on that? (Entering the pictures I notice that measurements are missing, it's about one cm.) Thank you!

Hey all Is this little fossil a partial Ejchodus jaw? The piece on the left certainly looks like one of their famous fangs (although I'm not 100% I'm correct) but the bits to the right do not look like the little needle teeth, or teeth at all. The bone texture flows in to those bumps. Scale is in cm

Mosasaur Jaw? Real or fake.
Spirit posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone! I made an account just to ask this question from some real experts: is this Mosasaur jaw real? I bought a tooth from the same shop and the matrix looked the same: some bones scattered about in the dirt and rock. (It’s the one right under my pinkie I’m the image) I’m a little thrown off because, well firstly, the shop traveled to vendor at a fair and that seems a little suspicious. Secondly, they’re selling other items that are commonly faked from Morocco like Trilobites. I really want this to be real but I can’t justify buying a fake… -
Found this bone of what I think is a jaw from a fish. Åsen locality Scania Sweden. Upper lower Campanian. Nearshore/deltaic enviroment. Greensand. Bone is 6 cm long and has a row of small "sockets" for teeth? Fish teeth found on the location is Enchodus, Protosphyraena, Pachyrhizodus... other finds include Tylosaurus, Clidastes, sharks, rays, turtles and chimaerids. Happy for any help on ID.
