I have decided to cash in my IRA and put the money into this rare, baby Mosasaur, I feel in the long run, with appreciation of the rare piece, I can beat the 16.78% return I had last year in the stock market. I am impressed at how robust infant mosasaurs were. They were obviously strong swimmers from birth! In the off chance, that there may be a small amount of repair; I am posting it here for opinions.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it would be possible to prep Moroccan trilobites with my dremel 290 and ZoicPaleotech bits (and get decent results). I've been wanting to buy some unprepared specimens, but am unsure if I'd be able to do anything to them. Is there any particular matrixes or species you'd recommend? also, where would one aquire affordable, unprepared specimens? I'm not an expert fossil-prepper by any means (as you can tell by my current tools). Thanks in advance.

My company is taking on interns this summer. Preparation course in Vertebrate Paleontology This course aims to familiarize the student with the preparation of fossils. The course concerns (is open to) everyone. Internship subject: Use of 3D scanning techniques in paleontology. Purpose of the course: The trainees will participate in the preparation of an anatotitan mummy with skin. Techniques used by the trainees: Excavation photography, silicone molding, 3D scanner, 3D printers. Trainees who wish will be able to learn the basics of preparing vertebrate fossils. Use of pneumatic engravers, Use of consolidation techniques in the field and in the laboratory, Use of sandblasting techniques Silicone base molding techniques. Period of the internship: from July 1 to the end of September, and possibly the internship will be extended or renewed, depending on requests. The trainees are accommodated on site at my expense, housed, fed and washed. The internship takes place in Kenitra- Morocco Send curriculum or cover letter. No specific level is required, but knowledge of anatomy, 3D printing techniques, or experience in paleontology would be a plus. e-mail: jnoun11@hotmail.com- 1 reply

Spinosaurus toe bone real ?
Brevicolis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, i have this toe bone labeled as spinosaurus in my collection. But it seems kinda suspicious to me. Theres definitly real bone that matches the form, but some areas look like plaster or still covered whith a layer of matrix. Is it real and bad preserverd, 50/50, or a complete fake ? And is it even Spinosaurus ? Because Spinosaurus toe bones are very flat compared to this one.- 9 replies

Hello, i saw this big Spinosaurus tooth on auction today and wondered, If the root is real and not a composed one. Obviously, a crack was filled, but thats OK for me, and everything else looks fine to me. The tooth Matches also whith the rooted one, seen in Troodon's guide. So would it be worth trying to get it, or should i stay far away from it ? Found in : Kemkem beds, morocco Sice : 12 cm

I believe this mososaur tooth was unearthed in Morocco. Included in the photo are my thumb and index finger for scale.

I'm a mineral collector rather than a fossil collector, but this gastropod replaced by chalcedony has one foot in each camp. It was labeled (by a mineral dealer) "Turritela fossil snail" with a locality given only as Morocco. It'd like to come a little closer taxonomically if I can. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Edit: Forgot to include its dimensions: 24 mm tall x 15 mm diameter

I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

Hello, i have this tooth labeled as Elosuchus from morocco. But i am not sure if its really one, could this be Spinosaurus too ? It has clear visible stirrations, but no carina. The cross section is circular. The tip has also an interesting shape, could this be the result of permanent use ? It was found in the Kemkem beds, morocco.

hi I recently wanted to find a Tylosaurid tooth from Morocco, but I'm confused about the tooth morphology of this ID. Because I found that some teeth described as Tylosaurid had very distinct protruding prisms (likes figure 3 and 4) on their crown surfaces, while some teeth were indeed relatively smooth (picture 1 and 2). Which one is correct?

How rare are real plesiosaurus jaws on the market ?
Brevicolis posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello, I wanted to ask how rare are Plesiosaurus jaws on the market? I've seen hundreds of real, fake, and composite Mosasaurus jaws from Morocco, but now I've seen a nice, big and real Plesiosaurus jaw with two teeth and no evidence of plaster. How rare is it to find a good one on the market? Thanks !- 9 replies

I got these tiny teeth in some bulk Moroccan stuff, I assumed carchihinid but I saw another dealer has similar larger stuff as Physogaleus secundus. My largest tooth is about 3-5mm Any advice or rescources from the wise heads here is appreciated in advance

I have (finally) got around to going through my Moroccan phosphate shark teeth. I've attempted to identify them but I am still not particularly confident at identifying fossils so I thought I'd run it by the experts first. All the teeth are (supposed to be) from the Eocene, save 4 which is (supposed to be) from the Cretaceous. I attempted to label the images with my proposed identifications but there wasn't enough space for all of them so I'll list them all here: 1. Ginglymostomatid (Nebrius?) 2-3. Hemipristis? 4. Unsure 5. Pristid/Sawfish (Pristis?) 6. Otodontid (Cretalamna?) 7-10. Odontaspidid The lighting is also quite poor on these images as the enamel on the teeth is very reflective and they show up as amorphous white blobs if it's too bright as my phone camera is by no means the best. Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's Othniel
