Here are the only fossils that I have at the moment I hope to continue to grow my collection! Pictures 1, 2, and 3 are of my Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis vertebra. Per the seller, it is from the Cretaceous (Barremian Stage), and originated from the Isle of Wight's Wessex Formation (Wealden Group). Picture 4 is of my flea market Colpocoryphe grandis, likely originating from Morocco. Picture 5 is of my gifted partial (most likely) Merycoidodon gracilis skull, originating from possibly Wyoming or Nebraska. Picture 6, my most recent purchase, is of a plate of four up

Hello all! This is my first post, so forgive me. I found this near a small stream in a hiking spot called LimeKiln in Porter Ranch, California, Los Angeles County. I know nothing about the area, and while I’ve heard that LimeKiln used to be a lime quarry I don’t even know what lime looks like so I’d rather not guess as to what sorts of rocks are nearby. Anyway, is this an actual fossil? It feels heavy like a rock, not light like bone. If so, any ideas as to what it might be? Please forgive my hand holding video with no measurements. I will dig up a ruler tomorrow, but for tonight I’m

I joined with the hopes that someone here may know more about Natlandite fossil stone. My wife inherited a polished three piece set and unfortunately there is very little information available about it online. Within the two articles I could find we have learned that "it was first discovered in 1954 in Los Angeles, Ca. by geologist Manley L. Natland, during a small dig he made in his offices backyard. He was given a rock brought up during soil testing for an annex to the old Atlantic Richfield Building at 6th and Flower streets. Natland estimated the fossil st

Hello, Could anyone identify the species of these two beetles from the La Brea Tar Pits of Los Angeles, California, USA? The large one is 3 cm and the small one is 1 cm. I've heard the terms "water beetle" and "carrion beetle" get thrown around but it's confusing. I think the larger might be Cybister explanatus? Thanks.

Hi Everyone, this is my first post and I like to thank you for your information. I will be traveling to the US in October. I'm going to travel in my car from Los Angeles, las vegas, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma, Memphis, New Orleans, Panama City, Sarasota, and Orlando. I want to take advantage of that to do little fossil huntings across that sites. Obviously, I don't want to do something illegal or wrong while collecting. I was talking with some guy from natural science and tell me which is legal and which not. The original idea is to fossil

The tooth that started it all, found while looking for rocks in the Santa Monica mountains. I just looked down and wow nice great white. At first I thought someone dropped it as why would there be a big shark tooth on the side of a mountain. Turns out I got lucky and found a great fossil. I have looked a bunch more and not found anything else in the area, it is still the largest tooth in my collection! Thanks for looking
