Big spinosaurus tooth with Pathology and serrations?
JorisVV posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Here by my new Spinosaurus Aegypticus tooth from Taouz, Morocco. It is 4 1/2 inches. The colors are less common than your regular Moroccon Spinosaurus teeth. It has 0 restoration done to the tooth, and the quality is very high. Which I find special about this one. Noticed some slight patho and serrations on this tooth too? Could someone explain the patho perhaps. -

My friend just bought this Moroccan Mosasaur Skull? on online without checking with me first. The seller describes it as a restored mosasaur dinosaur skull with nice fossil teeth. I know what I think about it, but would like to get other opinions.

These Vertebrae are from Cretaceous of Morocco, Does anyone know what species these are? Thanks a lot!

Hello! I have a Drotops armartus fossil and some of the spines are broken off which glue would work best? Thank all of you for any help!

Hi, Saw this and I think it is a small lower Polycotylid jaw (possibly from Manemergus or Thililua) and I wanted to get some opinions on it. It comes from near Goulmima in Morocco and is 42cm in length. Thank you!

Selling Real for Fake Fossils?
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Everyone I've encountered on this site has been very helpful, so thank you. However, I'm in need of more help. For the last year I've been collecting real fossils in the field and selling some to pay for more exotic rocks. In a recent post I found that my Solnhofen shrimp is, if not totally, mostly fake. Now I'm quite suspicious of my entire purchased collection and was hoping you could help me identify fakes. The first two pictures are apparently Priscacara, Green River Formation, Eocene; the next two supposedly Asteroidea, Morocco, Ordovician; the last three supposedly Triassic, Arizona petr- 25 replies

Dicranarus Monstrosus fossil, is it real?
Fossil Maniac posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! I saw this Dicaranarus monstrosus fossil online, I want to know if it's authentic or not. Thank you for any help! -
The only information that I have on this one is that it's from Morocco, Middle Cambrian and Cambropallas. The piece is ~10.5" x 8. I only have the one picture, but might be able to get more if needed. As always, thanks!

Hi everyone! I've been looking at possible ids for this one and my best guess is Elosuchus, but I wanted to make sure since the crown is kinda small (juvenile?). Kem Kem Beds, Morocco Crown Height is 2 cm, Crown base is 1.3 x 1.25 cm Overall specimen is 6.4 cm long (straight line) Largest cross section on root is 1.4 x 1.4 cm. As usual any feedback is appreciated!

Hi everyone, I bought this piece long ago and after last move I forgot it in a moving box. I just rediscovered it and I would like to know more about it. The seller said it was an Enchodus half jaw from Morocco Cretaceous. In my opinion : this is a real piece but perhaps an assemblage (just hope it is not a a complete Frankensteinsaurus). it is not Enchodus but it is definitely some kind of Halisaurus. I suspect there is a left dentary (?), a right surangular (??? probably glued piece) and 2 other bones (underneath the surangular and abo

Nyctosaurid humerus
Opabinia Blues posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Pterosaur material is always something I’m interested in adding to my collection through purchases, so this following piece is something that’s been on my wishlist for a while now. The seller labels this fossil an Alcione humerus from the Khouribga phosphates in Morocco, which seems reasonable to me as the bone compares well to the genus’ holotype. But because this wouldn’t be a cheap purchase and because of the questionable authenticity of many Moroccan fossils, I thought it would be wise to see if there are any red flags with this bone. Specifically, I’m wondering if -
Final Round of Real vs. Fake
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is actually quite enjoyable finding out which fossils are real and fake. First pic we have a fossil flower stamen from the Green River Formation in Utah. The second piece was quite cheap, but it's from Morocco (Anti-Atlas Mtns.) and it seemed odd to me that the bottom Orthoceras has the same pattern as the matrix below it. But perhaps you have an explanation for that. The third piece is a Ginkgo leaf from the Sentinel Butte Formation of North Dakota. The final piece is a Juvenile Megalodon tooth from Pungo River Formation of North Carolina. Thanks again to everyone who's helped out, I'm -
Hello everyone, i saw these two fossils from the phosphate and i am not sure about the type of animal. the first one look like a limb bone (but no idea of the animal) and the secound one like a wing part (maybe from a pterosaur ?). I need confirmation and precision on the identification if someone have an idea.

Hi, This bone looks like a Spinosaur neural spine, but I'm not too sure. Does anyone have an idea what this bone could be? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Got a nice little mystery bone from the Kem Kem here. I think it's a Coracoid bone but I'm not sure from what. I'm leaning Crocodyliform only because that seems to be the most common thing for these random mystery bones but I don't know for sure so I figured I'd seek a second opinion in case it might be something else like a fish bone. It measures 7 cm (2.76 inches). Any feedback is appreciated as always!

Hi, I think this is a partial Pliosaur tooth, just wanted to ask.for confirmation. Thanks.
