Hi all, A friend in North Carolina has this (among many other) box of bones from Morocco that need some sort of ID or general push in the right direction. I haven't been staring at bones long enough to make sense of these, but the tray they're sitting in is 15 inches long. My own personal uneducated guess is that I see some metacarpals and other small hand bones, a metatarsal or two, etc. , but I welcome outside opinion. I have my eye on the one top right, first in the group of 3 so I'm especially curious about that one. Mahalo!

When visiting the region of Erfoud in Morocco, we got some years ago a very unusual starfish. Devonian chalk, perhaps the layers with Cupressocrinites? Do not exactly know. It looks like Helianthaster, but there has nothing been published about starfishes like this one. What do you think? Does anyone know this starfish or has new literature about them? Size is around 10 - 12 cm (original diameter)

I recently spotted a Palaeophis vertebra for sale, labelled as having come from a Palaeophis typhaeus. The vertebra was found in the Ouled Abdoun basin in Morocco and is Ypresian in age. I have only every seen Palaeophis maghrebianus vertebrae for sale, so I was wondering if this was a mistaken ID. Thanks in advance for confirmation Othniel

The tooth shown below is labelled as coming from Sarcosuchus imperator, but I am a little dubious as to if this identification is correct. Unfortunately this is the only image of the specimen the seller has provided. Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel

I recently saw this tooth for sale identified as a Deltadromeus, but it looks suspiciously similar to teeth sold as "indeterminate Abelisaurid", mine included, so I thought it would be worth checking. The seller has stated the tooth is "17mm x 10mm at the widest points". No other measurements were given. Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel

Does Anyone Know What This Trilobite Is?
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I found this beauty on a popular auction site and the seller seems to think it's a horseshoe crab. There is no geological information with it and the seller isn't even sure if it's real. I was hoping that someone might be able to identify it. Thanks. -
Hi, I have this trilobite labelled as a Proetida. Also I was told it is 485-251 myo is this also right? Finally is it Moroccan if so I assume Atlas mountains? Thank you for your time!

A rangeomorph holdfast trace fossil from the Ediacara formation, Rawnsley quartzite of the Flinders Range, South Australia. This specimen is Medusina mawsoni, so called because it was until recently thought to be a jellyfish, but is now believed to be the attachment point of a fractal rangeomorph as Charniodiscus is the point of anchorage for Charnia sp. This one may have been the holdfast point for some species of Rangea. The diameter of the outer circle is 1.5 cm and the fossil is estimated to be 555 million years old.

Fellow members, I have been offered this Dicranurus. At first glance it appears to be well prepped etc. with no signs of obvious fractures etc. As one should be on guard when purchasing Moroccan material, I would like to seek counsel / opinions / another pair of eyes regarding this specimen which I have been offered. Can anyone see any signs of repair and / or restoration? Thankyou in advance, much appreciated. 7382B30E-FC78-42BF-AD84-380811D50D9E.mov
