    Tooth Looking Fossil Find

    I found this very tooth shaped fossil on the coast of Noosa in QLD. Not sure if this actually is anything as I don't know much about dossils at all. Would be very interested to know if anyone has seen anything similar!
  2. Hi, I’ve recently been searching through some sifted gravel from a creek. I’ve been looking for microfossils, which I’ve had plenty of luck finding. All sorts of marine Cretaceous invertebrate micros are abundant in the creek gravel, as well as the occasional micro shark/fish tooth, scale, and bone fragment. I encountered a tooth that stood out from anything I’ve found so far. It has a conical shape, and is recurved. Something about this tooth seems very reptile-like. Almost looks like a tiny version of a crocodile or mosasaur tooth. The tooth measures 1 millimeter in length. I tried searching the internet for something similar, and have been unable to find something like this. The closest thing that I found was teeth from a jaw of a Coniasaurus that was found in North Texas. Here is the tooth that I found. It’s 1 millimeter from base to tip. The creek is located in Central Texas close to Austin, and passes through sediments spanning the whole Cretaceous geological column of Texas. From the Glen Rose Limestone to the Navarro Group. (~110-66 myrs). What do y’all think of this little tooth. Could it be from a small reptile like Coniasaurus and other dolichosaurs?
  3. I had heard that C and D canal site had new dumps. I had heard that the C and D site was going to be covered over, I had heard that it was removed/recycled. I went out last week to look. There are fewer dunes, and evidence of tractors and trucks, however there is still plenty of unchanged of material. It remains a harvest of belemnites and very little else.

    Aurora NC finds

    My wife and I made our way down to North Carolina for the Aurora Fossil Museum's Fossil Festival last weekend. Overall it was a pretty productive trip and we came away with well over 1000 shark teeth, some nice shells, lots of ray teeth, some shark, fish and cetacean verts, small cetacean teeth and a bucket of coral pieces. We heard many of the regulars say that the tailings weren't as productive as other years, but I saw quite a few nice specimens being collected. A few of the larger teeth, most of ours were damaged, but some of the colors are great: Lots of smaller teeth, I will try to take some better pics once I get them sorted and layed out flat: Ray teeth and spines: All the verts were pretty beat up: A good sampling of shells: Crab claws: Sea Urchin spines: I couldn't manage to find a whole cow shark tooth, but I did see a gorgeous little complete one come out of the hole next to me. Here are a few partials we found: A few micro samples, I did grab a few jars of sifted matrix once I realized how many small teeth were falling through And lots and lots of coral my wife wanted for some project she wants to do: Overall it was a good time. We met a lot of friendly and interesting folks and my wife already asked if I wanted to book the place we stayed to come back next year. Thanks for looking, Randy

    Canine Tip

    I was out a week ago, hunting the Peace River, not finding much. Basically little shark teeth (Lemons, Tigers, Dusky, occasional Sand Tiger). I have hunted this location a number of times and the only mammal fossils I have found besides marine Dolphin are chips of Rhino tooth. I have an open cut on my leg and about to travel for a couple of weeks, so my hunting opportunities are seriously curtailed. Time to look at and identify fossils I found a week ago. Now this is the Peace River, and that means mostly float fossils, So when I initially picked this out of the screen, I thought it to likely be gator... It's about the right size... When I turned it over , I no longer thought Gator.... quickly switching to un_identified. Pulp cavity and some sort of interesting layering of the enamel.... Not sure why I am adding this,, but found an interesting paper on a Miocene porpoise from Japan, which has some similarity in item D....

    another cretaceous marine unknown

    Help will be greatly appreciated in understanding this bone that I found. It looked like a large piece of turtle shell when I found it. Like most at this site it is poorly preserved and broke in to several pieces as I went to pick it up. I thought it was turtle plastron (common in the area) until I washed it and saw significant texture. Now I dont know what it is at all. Too much texture for turtle, too little for croc. Any help to identify what it is, (or even what it isnt) will be well received.
  7. Hello! I found this rock on the beach in Romania (Eastern Europe, Black Sea). It is about 12 cm long. It looks like pumice but it's actually heavy, doesn't feel like pumice at all. There are a lot of holes in it and when you look closely, you can see little seashells in the holes. In another hole, you can see something that looks like scales (You can see this in the last picture, but sometimes the order of the pictures gets messed up) Any idea what all these things could be? Also, is it a fossil or is it modern? Thank you!
  8. Hello! I found two pieces of Limestone in a forest in Germany. I broke them in half and there are some markings in them. Picture 1-2 shows grey lines. To my amateur eyes, this looks like some sort of plant or grass. Is it anything or is it purely geological? Picture 3-4 No idea what this is. Help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Damaged Plesiosaur Tooth

    First of all hiiiii this is my first post on this forum Soo, I live in germany and am doing some vacation on the beach rn. I found a guy selling gems and fossils. I bought this lil specimen. After I bought it he said its the most rare thing in his inventory lol. According to the guy the tooth is from a plesiosaur, unknown if there is more in the matrix(Atleast there are some shells but thats not the point of this post anyways.). All I got about where its from was "south brazil". Facts list: >Plesiosaur tooth presumably >partially damaged >From (southern) Brazil The measurement in the pictures is in cm. Id really appreciate if anyone could help me identify this one, already thanks in advance^^

    Fish species ID

    Hello! Can anyone help me identify what fish species these three specimens are? Location is unknown. The first two smaller ones are about 5-7 cm. The larger one is 27 cm. Thank you! Let me know if you need any more additional info.

    What am I looking at?

    A friend brought me a gift from their travels. All I know is that it is from Al-khoud, in Oman. I dont know anything else and google didnt offer much. It looks to me to be a collection of 2 sizes of bivalves, and some larger shell pieces. Any and all help will be appreciated

    I Don't See This In My Field Guide

    I just have so many questions, thanks for your patience. Found these two pieces in what, I think, is Brush Creek Limestone; they're definitely Pennsylvanian Period and from Allegheny County, PA. The first one is 3 cm x 1 cm, the second is about 2.5 cm long.

    Devonian? Fossil Id Needed

    I recently found a fossil in my backyard and I’m not sure what it could be. I live in a place where the bedrock dates back to the Devonian. Hopefully this will be the only fossil id that I’ll ever do. Front Back Left Right Top Bottom If you notice in the front, top, and right images, there is a brachiopod mold, which means the fossil was either from the shoreline or from underwater. I also think that, at this point, the fossil comes from the lower Devonian.

    Pennsylvanian Marine Fossil?

    Howdy! Chiseled this out of a rock today. I thought it was a coral at first, but not quite sure now. The final picture is a cross section of the inside. Thanks in advance.

    NC Miocene micros

    Went through about half a pint of the sifted matrix I brought home from Aurora. There were shark teeth as I had expected, way more urchin spines than I would have guessed and some small coral like pieces I'm not sure exactly what they are. Nice sample including the pieces in the top left I am trying to identify: Tried taking pic with clip on micro lens for the phone:
  16. Hi all, I was looking over some finds from Sunset Beach when I reexamined this and thought it looked organic. Sticks to my tongue, feels relatively heavy. Is this a fossil bone? Sunset Beach is awesome and I definitely recommend the visit, especially before the shipwreck is fully lost to the sea. Fossils seem really rare there, but the colorful quartz and minerals polished by waves make up for it.
  17. Hi! I made new display cabinet for my fossils picked for about 3 years now, just wanted to take you for a tour through my neighboring areas of interest Most of them are just boring ammonites but I recently acquired some new specimens like that big chunk of nautilus or some wood from a new discovered place, they're from Bathonian level. It's getting interesting

    Fossil or Xenolith?

    Look I found a thing! Usually when I see a rock embedded in another rock I think fossil... however IF this is a fossil I have no idea what it would be. So at this point im thinking maybe its another Xenolith. What are your thoughts? For anyone interested, this was found near Vancouver Canadia.
  19. These Vertebrae are from Cretaceous of Morocco, Does anyone know what species these are? Thanks a lot!
  20. Hi all. Took another trip to our closest site yesterday - a Carboniferous marine deposit on the shores of the Firth of Forth, Scotland. Amongst the usual Bivalves and more familiar shapes (which I may need to ask about on here at some point - as I have only the wildest guess of what they actually are) we found the below. It looks for all the world like a coarsely textured skin of small scales. I'm aware that soft tissue preservation is incredibly rare, so am dubious - but I don't know what else it might be. Anyone able to help? Nb. I haven't done any work on this at all yet - this is exactly as found.
  21. Wondering if anyone is planning to attend this years fossil festival in Aurora, NC Memorial weekend or if anyone who has attended previously has any recommendations/advice? I've spoken to the director and know the basics, just looking for any insight a first timer should be aware of.
  22. Hello! I am a professor teaching at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab this summer. I teach the Marine Mammal Bio Class. I have an extra day available next week to take the students on a field trip. I know that Alabama has a hot bed of marine fossils. I would love to take the students fossil hunting where we might find marine mammals. NOTE: I know the chances would be very low to make such a find, and if we did find anything, we would leave it and contact other scientists to reveal the location. But I wanted to ask if anyone could suggest the following: 1. I know many houses used to use Basilosaurus vertebrae as cornerstones. Are there any examples of this still available to see in the bottom half of the state? We are willing to take them as far north as say Selma, Montgomery, Pratville? Maybe slightly more north. I must drive them from the coast (Dauphin Island). 2. Are there any museums with fossils of marine mammals in the bottom half of the state? Montgomery? Mobile? 3. Can anyone suggest a site where I could take the students to hunt that is available to the public? Where it could be a long shot to find something marine mammal related, but also more likely to find shark teeth or mollusks? Thank you for letting me ask these questions. Jennifer
