Hello! I got this ammonite fossil from Madirovalo, Madagascar. Cretaceous. That's all the info I got. Does anyone know possibly what species it is or if it's Lower Cretaceous or Upper Cretaceous? Regards.

Curious if this "elephant bird egg" is real. The length and width are realistic and it weights about 3 lbs. 14.5 oz. It is smoother than I expected and appears to have been polished in places, especially in spots where some of the sections meet. Surface covered in fine lines (often with branches) as well as small holes. A small flake was examined under a microscope, showing one of the fine lines to consist of a series of holes. Other holes were also visible. I dabbed the flake with vinegar and observed bubbling under the scope. Images show some close-ups of the textured surface as well as a picture I took through the eyepiece of the microscope (underside of the flake is shown, with a series of pits following a fine line visible). Looking forward to hearing what you all think. Thanks.

From Madagascar Probably Mesozoic Why is this fossil lying on its back .looks like a parrot's beak. ---------------------------------- These are some of the details that prove it's a fossil It's a very damaged fossil It preserved conical foramina, and preserved neural crest vertebrae fossils are rare in Madagascar So what kind of animal is this? Detail the rupture above the neural crest is seen to form a square inconsistency The fractures on the spine have detailed bone patterns Thank you for your answer. --------------------------------- Thank you for your insights. I've seen many kinds of vertebrae from Madagascar, but this one is very special, very strange. But I also want to ask: why is it in this form? Like a lie? As I've drawn it: the red is a separate spine, the yellow is another spine; The blue one is the nerve, why is it so combined,？ what range of animals is it?

发现于马达加斯加。 无法确定具体的产地。 它可能来自 Maevarano 组。 是脊椎吗？还是股骨？ 感谢您的回答！

Hello, Is this fish fossil real? Listed as Pteronisculus from Madagascar, length 12cm. Any apparent reconstruction or fabrication? And how complete is it? Looks like the tip of the head may be cut off. Thanks.

Is this real? ID??? Barasaurus?
violinistt posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I just acquired this fossil recently. Can anyone provide some thoughts on this fossil? ID also, please. Is this a Barasaurus? Thanks!

Hello all I was offered this beauty from Sakaraha formation, Mid Jurassic (Bathonian) of Madagascar. It is ID'd as sauropod because there aren't any ornithopods known from the formation. What do people here say? It's 8 cm long .

Any idea which species this is? The ammonite is from Madagascar, but I don't have the exact location. Size 26 inches, weight 120 kgs

Hi all, I recently became aware that Madagascar appears to have a fully developed and interesting Mesozoic marine reptile record, yet am not particularly able to find any information on them. The only article I have come across is Bardet and Termier, 1990, "Première description de restes de Plésiosaure provenant de Madagascar (gisement de Berere, Campanien)". However, I've been unable to track this article down. As such, I was wondering whether anybody on TFF might have any information on them. Basically, I'm starting from scratch, so would be very interested in the clades of marine reptile that are known from the region, if not recognized genera or even species. What formations have remains been found in, to what stages in earth geological history do these date, and where geographically are these located? Ideally, there'd be some open-access articles I could refer to, yet any bit of information is welcome. Thanks in advance!

What is this structure? a late Cretaceous fossil of Madagascar.
madagascar posted a topic in Fossil ID
From Madagascar. I don't know any other information. According to the fossil merchant, it's the Cretaceous. Length, width and height, 15, 12, 22. What part is it?

This is a fossil from Madagascar. Mahazanga. I don't know the rest. Is it a vertebra? Or some other structure?

May I ask you. What is the abnormal structure of this fossil? cancer? Teeth? trauma? This is a fossil from the province of Mahazanga, Madagascar. I don't know about other information.

Hi guys, since my last post about a misterious creature from the Cambrian of China was unsolved (lol) here another easier guess: A friend of mine gave me this, undoubtedly an abelisaurine tooth, with a straight distal carina and lightly curved mesial one. The provenance of this tooth, as he claims, is the Maevarano Formation, or other cretaceous outcrops but surely from north Madagascar, but even if I trust him and he would have no reason to lie, I am not sure. Know it's only an assumption (read all the previous post about the indet. teeth) Have tried to ask some other collectors on socials, but no one offered me help with this. Tried to match with the preservation and colors of ones belonging to the specimen FMNH PR 2100, the dentary dentitions, and the FMNH PR 2008, the premaxillary teeth (mine isn't, the section isn't so thick and the serration aren't on the same side), but don't know. Maybe a lateral maxillary one? The serration density on this tooth is almost impossible to take at the moment, and also most of denticles are worn. Now I have the chance to post only this photo, but soon I'll make more, I promise! Anyway is a gift from a friend, so I would be sad knowing that maybe he paid it more than he should worth if it isn't a Majungasaurus, as we both hope As always, thank you guys for your time and experience!

This reminds me a little of some of the Madagascan Cleoniceras ammonites, but the sutures are... unusual. Somewhat rounded at the ends. It's 86x69MM approx. I'd appreciate any input.

Hello, I really need some help identifying what formation my Ammonite fossil is from. Its been dated to the Albian epoch and is from the Mahajanga province, Madagascar. Unfortunately nothing about it says what formation it could be from. I've done a bit of research and the closest formation to what I'm trying to find is the Ankarafantsika Formation. The problem is that, that formation is dated to the Cenomanian. Any help would be great! Here's a picture
