Pteronisculus macropterus White, 1933 Early Triassic Sakamena formation Ambilobe Madagascar Length 28cm -
Hi fossil forum members, its my first post here after following for a long time this great forum. It seems to me that here are a lot of experts with a lot of experience in key out specimens and that´s the reason I now would like to ask for that expertise. I got this bone 20 years ago and have not touched/preped it so far. It is from Madagascar. Any ideas are very much appreciated and will help to place it in the correct way. Thanks very much in advance

Here is paper on a topic many Dinosaur collectors may be interested in. Unfortunately its paywalled so I rented it to screen grabbed the info to pass it along. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/spp2.1282 Sauropod teeth from the Middle Jurassic of Madagascar, and the oldest record of Titanosauriformes Gabriele Bindellini, Cristiano Dal Sasso First published: 06 September 2019 https://doi.org/10.1002/spp2.1282 The material comes from the Mahajanga Basin, see map, Sakahara Formation (Isalo IIIb subunit) which is dated to the Bathonian stage of the middle Jurassic. At least three sauropod taxa are known Archaeodontosaurus descouensi, Lapparentosaurus madagascariensis and 'Bothriospondylus madagascariensis' (this taxon name is regared as invalid but still used to indicate a Bathonian non-neosauropod eusauropod from Madagascar). Eight Morphotypes were identified. Morphotype J1 are referred to as non-neosauropod eusauropoda Morphotype J2 are referred to as non-neosauropod eusauropoda Morphotype J3 are referred to as a basal brachiosaurid or at least a titanosauriform. Not possible to refer this as L. madagascariensis but some authors would be in agreement. Morphotype J6 are referred to as a basal brachiosaurid or at least a titanosauriform. Not possible to refer this as L. madagascariensis but some authors would be in agreement. Morphotype J7 are referred to as a basal brachiosaurid or at least a titanosauriform. Not possible to refer this as L. madagascariensis but some authors would be in agreement. Morphotype J4 & J5 are assigned to Archaeodontosaurus descouensi Morphotype J8 can be referred to a basal taxon of Diplodocoidea

Is it possible to verify the ID of this tooth? It is marked as Majungatholus crenatissimus from the Maevarano formation in Madagascar. It measures 27 mm. Thanks.

Hi there guys, I got this ammonite as part of a set from Madagascar. I would like to know if this is a Perisphinctes. What caught my attention is that it seems to be more "larger" than the regular Perisphinctes I'm used to, at least. Let me know your thoughts.

I bought this today and I want to know what species it is could anyone help me out?
Milo posted a topic in Fossil ID
I bought this today at a market and would like to know what species it is and if it’s real I’m pretty sure it’s real but you never know the guy that sold it to me said it was from Madagascar and some other stuff but he said it all in a different language so I didn’t know what he said. Sorry for the noob question! Thanks for any help

Hi guys just recently picked this up from the st Marie show. Not alot of information except it came from Madagascar. I bought this in conjunction with a rappetosaurus tooth also from Madagascar that has the same patina and look. the question is what is it? Crocodile? or is it something a bit more interesting and dinosaurian? always interested in your advice and help. best wishes byron

Bobasatrania mahavavica White, 1932 Lower Triassic Ambilobe Madagascar Length 7 cm/ 2.5 inch -
Are the fossil fish nodules from Madagascar offered for sale exported legally? Lots on offer on ones favourite auction website, and elsewhere. Seen a lot of discussion on Madagascan Ammonites for sale, how they may not be exported unless they have been “artistically enhanced” ie polished. But not seen anything mentioned re fish. Does anyone have any info?

Hello everyone, I am slowly trying to get the things in my collection more organized and here I have a piece of what was sold to me as coprolite from Madagascar, I was wondering if we can certainly call this a coprolite and not just a concretion, And if so what animal could it have come from or what the age is as that was not given along with the piece. Ruler is in inches. Thank you everyone.
-
Hi there folks, Just need to know if I'm seeing this right. This is a piece from Madagascar I recently received. At first I didn't give much attention to it, but today i noticed the three small markings on the center of the piece. My question is: Would that be the reminiscent of the siphunculus of a Nautiloid specimen? Piece is from Madagascar. Thanks in advance, Juliano
-
Hi there guys. I received this piece with almost no information and I was hoping someone could help me ID it. It was supposedly bought in Kircheim, Germany. But it kinda reminds me of Perisphinctes... Would that be right? The plate is about 14 cm x 12 cm.

Hi everyone, I went to a small rock shop some time ago and bought these three fossil bivalves. Unfortunately, the only information they had on them was that they were from Madagascar. More importantly than the species, I'd really like to find out a more precise location and age (including formation) for them. There were 6 shells available in the shop (all clearly from the same location). 4 of them were #1, then #2 and #3 were unique. #1: I think it's something from the Mactridae family.

Red Flag on Some Dino Material
Troodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Some very nice dinosaur material is being offered for sale but their identifications need some massaging. This beautiful tooth is being identified as Gorgosaurus from the Judith River Fm. Its a "Tryannosaurid indet. " since we cannot distinguish teeth between Gorgo and Daspletosaurus.. Looks like an anterior dentary position. This gorgeous rooted hadrosaur tooth is being identified has Lambeosaurus also from the JRF. Most seasoned collectors know its very difficult to distinguish teeth between different hadrosaur species. Quite a few are described from the JRF not sure if Lambeo is one. Best identified : Hadrosaurid indet. A Majungatholus tooth from Madagascar is also offered. Unfortunately the tooth is clearly not an Abelsaurid so it cannot be Majungatholus or properly called Majungasaurus. What is it I really do not know since very little is described from the Maevarano Formation. It also brings to question if the locality is correct. "This tooth was already posted on the forum" From the Judith River Formation the seller is offering this Troodon foot Claw. Only two photos were included in the listing so it was difficult to tell but initally it does not look like one more like an Oviraptorid claw. If you are interested I would ask for more photos so we can have a better look. From the Cloverly this bone is being offered as a humerus from a Tenontosaurus. I do not believe its one and have included the arm of a Tenontosaurus from my collection to see what one looks like. Its the bone on the left. Could be an ulna but not sure..jpg.554172f9834fed5a1353384f2c7cfb75.jpg)

Hi, I bought this ammonite at least 10 years ago and have completely forgot about it since then. It is rough on one side and cut and polished along the mid-line of the shell revealing the interior. I'm certain it is an ammonoid (vs a nautiloid) due to S shaped suture lines and outward curving septa. What I can't figure out is genus and locality of this ammonite. I think it's fair to say this is a mass produced ammonite from madagascar or morocco but I can't seem to find much on the marker currently to draw an association. I've attached some pics.. thanks for your help!

Hello, Can you help me identify these 10 ammonites from Madagascar ?, please. Thanks.

Hi there folks, me again. =) I'm having a pretty ocious day, so I'm spending my time taking a look at my unidentified pieces. I was hoping if someone can help me with these specimens. They are both from Madagascar so I'm thinking Aioloceras besairiei... Could that be right? In case I'm right, what about this color pattern? Can we figure out about the mineralization process? Finally, ammonoids from Madagascar are generally A. besairiei? Thanks in advance, Juliano

Hi there fellow, Bought this from that auction web site and was hoping someone could give me an ID. I know it's been polished and all, so I really don't know what is possible to accomplish with these pictures. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, Does anyone ever see black nautilus fossil before? I saw this fossil in online but is kind of too perfect so will like to seek advise from you guys, is this a fake fossil or over process nautilus fossil?

My favourite tooth now :) -
Last year, for my very first holiday time at work, I received a bottle of wine and an ammonite from Madagascar necklace from my secret Santa. The necklace was one of the best gifts I have ever received, hands down! I have worn it almost everyday for a year and today, sadly, I discovered that the ammonite is broken. It is still held together by the metal (outline?), but it is loose. I want to save this, as it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I have some Paraloid B72 that is 5% paraloid/95% acetone. Would this be useful if I was able to seal the outside of it? Please tell me I can save it so I can continue to wear it. I feel lost, especially at work, when I’m not wearing it. I’ve uploaded pictures of the breaks, but if there is any confusion please let me know and I can clarify. Thank you so much!
