Two years ago I lost some fossils at the Flagg Gem and Mineral Show in Mesa, Arizona. The one that I most cared about was a large piece of Durania austinensis that I found near Plano, Texas; it always challenges most paleontologist to give an ID. A friend of mine from the Flagg Foundation asked me in early December if I could ID a fossil that they found in their storage shed. I told him exactly what it was and where it was found. I even showed him the photo on The Forum of the same piece. Although a geologist, he had no idea what it was. He had posted it on Reddit fossil site and was branded a kook for posting it; they had no idea what it was. I was his next choice to give an ID. Later he asked me if a metal cash box full of fossils was mine; yes it was. Everything lost was now found. The moral; go the the Forum first for an ID. Posting a photo of a fossil on the Forum can help prove ownership.
