I recently acquired this nice little tooth from the Carlile Shale of north central Kansas, which I believe is Turonian in age. It looks like Cardabiodon ?venator to me, but I don't have much experience with the genus. What do others think? The tooth measures 27.17 mm along the slant and is 21.66 mm wide.

All of these were found on gravel bars on Elm Creek in north-eastern Kansas, as we kayak on it a lot.

I am pretty sure these are claws, but I am not at all sure. The first one had a tip ,like the drawn lines indicate, but some jerk broke it off. Doesn’t down the shaft on the last one look like Fluking?

Actually a Polycotylid Vertebra?
Opabinia Blues posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Not sure if this goes here or in Fossil ID but I’ll post here… This is one of my latest online purchases, and one I had to snag because if this is what it’s supposed to be it’s a neat piece. But seeing as I can’t personally verify it myself, I thought I’d post here. This vertebra was being sold as Trinacromerum sp. While I doubt that just a centrum like this is identifiable down to genus, I would like to know whether or not this really is a Polycotilid vertebra. I think it’s likely because it’s a very sizable bone that’s not mosasaur, but just want to check. This fossil is, according- 2 replies

It's from Kansas and is Late Cretaceous age.

Dear Forum members, A few years ago I bought this piece from a fellow collector. The description mentioned that it is probably a Platecarpus sp. atlas and axis vertebrae, Niobrara Fm. Gove Co. Kansas. I think that this is acutally the supraoccipital, epioccipital, basisphenoid and several other skull parts. I do not know if this is indeed from a Platecarpus species? if so, which species could this be? I'd like to know whether this piece is Coniacian, Santonian or Campanian in age. Perhaps the preservation already can point in a direction. the fossils are all very flatt -

Traveling from Minnesota to Texas next week Take I35-W down and roughly following the Mississippi back up. Any recommendations for fossil or paleo related Museums to visit or fossil hunting trips/locales along this loop? I am mostly interested in vertebrate fossil hunting but would really be up for any good suggestions.

These were all collected last summer, from the Smoky Hill Chalk in Northeast Lane County Kansas. Any help/suggestions/corrections would be much appreciated. 1 12mm Long Enchodus? 2 13mm Long Enchodus? 3 20mm across Gillicus arcuatus? 4 Entire piece put together totals 48mm in length. Not sure on the genus. Better pictures to come. 5 29mm long Stratodus? Seems to bear some resemblance to strato2.jpg (790×562) (oceansofkansas.com). The other possibility I thought of was a damaged Cimolichthys.

We have been collecting for our first year 4H exhibit. These were all collected in Kansas in the Smoky Hill Chalk and also in Southeast Kansas around Greenwood, Elk, and Chataqua counties. We are looking for some concensus on our identification. We have had a hard time this year due to Covid. When we used to do this 15 years ago we would go to big meetings where we would get help identifying things. This year it was all identified on site and the leaders were very busy helping many people as best they could. As you can see we have already caught quite a few errors ourselves so we
