  1. L.S., Wanted to raise some awareness on TFF because I expect many here will simply love this: A good friend of mine, Iris van Zelst (geophysicist at the German Aerospace Center in Berlin) has developed this really nice card game centred around the geological time scale: QUARTETnary The gameplay is based on the classic game Quartets (similar to Go Fish and Happy Families), where players try to collect as many sets of four cards as they can. In QUARTETnary, each of the sets represents four major events that took place during a specific geological time period. To win the game, you need to create the most complete timeline of Earth history, all the way from its formation 4.567 billion years ago to the appearance of us humans. The cards have been designed by Lucia Perez-Diaz (Earth scientist and freelance illustrator from the UK). The illustrations look amazing and I really like that they adhered to the official colour scheme of the International Commission on Stratigraphy. Iris sent me this nice set of cards for the Proterozoic: The game includes 15 sets of four cards in total (many featuring fossils): one each for the Hadean, Archean and Proterozoic eons, and one each for the 12 periods of the Phanerozoic. I expect QUARTETnary will become a really fun way to learn about and memorize the different geological units and major events in Earth history. Kind regards, Tim
  2. What were certain times that barely as of yet, not known or poorly known in Vertabrate paleontology like the Cretaceous for example, in massachusetts and the nearby areas like new england and other parts of the northeast like down to about Pennsylvania like during these unreserved times, and what life was likely around there? Thanks!
  3. Hi everyone! After more than 7 years of putting it off, I finally returned to Green Mill Run last weekend. There were lots and lots of giant Exogyra in the creek, which was interesting since I’ve never really seen trip reports mention those; not sure if something happened to bring them all there. Especially since I assumed most of the Cretaceous stuff in GMR is washed from upstream, but I can't see so many of those big shells being washed all the way to the same spot. But anyways, here are some fossils I’d like an ID or a clarification on! Ignore the ruler pattern haha Burrow casts? There were a few of these, they looked rock-like but with a unique weight and texture, and they were colored differently from the usual black GMR fossils Hybodont clasper? I know most/all of these are Squalicorax, including this absolute beast here, but any idea on species? C. hastalis? Brachiopod? Some kind of shark teeth but not certain about species Either goblin or sand tiger? Bryozoan? Thanks everyone!
  4. I'm researching bird fauna from the Danian Paleocene era recently and I have some questions about a particular bird, Asteriornis maastrichtensis. It was discovered in late 2019 in Maastrictian deposits of the Maastricht Formation, Cretaceous dating 66.8-66.7 Million Years ago in what is now Belgium and was pretty small in size, about the size of a small duck and weighed only 394 grams when alive. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2096-0 Asteriornis is the earliest confirmed Neognathae (a group of birds of which the majority of birds alive today belong to) and it's oldest remains date to just around One Million Years before the Cretaceous-Paleocene Astroid impact wiped out that last of the non-avian dinosaurs. I've seen a lot of people say that this bird species survived the Cretaceous-Paleocene Extinction event into the Paleocene. It's small size and diet of seeds make it a good candidate to have survived the event, but I haven't found any definitive records yet of Asteriornis from the early Paleocene. What I'm wondering is did Asteriornis survive the Cretaceous-Paleocene Mass Extinction Event 66 Million Years ago and are there any records of Asteriornis that date definitively to the Paleocene era?

    Branch (vine) ID

    Hello to all. Please help me identify this branch. It was found on the banks of the Kremenchug reservoir in Ukraine. This is a large reservoir, which is adjacent to three regions. It is difficult to determine the age - water erodes the layers from the Neogene period to the Jurassic. Thank you!

    Fossillarry's Mammals

    As Larry familiarizes himself with how to attach photos to his posts, I will be posting for him. Larry is a humble collector of mammals but he is very experienced. He is one of the rare mammal collectors with knowledge of Eocene-Pleistocene groups. Most collectors specialize in Oligocene or Miocene-Pleistocene of North America but he knows a wide variety of forms specializing in ungulates (hoofed mammals of the Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla. He's hunted from California to Nebraska and South Dakota to Texas. The first specimen he'd like to share with the forum is a 2-tooth maxilla section of Cardiolophus, an early tapiroid from the Early Eocene, Willwood Formation of Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. A tapiroid is a perissodactyl (odd-toed ungulate) that currently appears to be part of the lineage that connects to modern tapirs or is likely related to that lineage. Larry might ask me to clarify that further. One thing to remember about Cardiolophus is that it was part of a great radiation of mammals that appeared at the base of the Eocene. It was the time of the earliest horse, tapir, chalicothere, and titanothere.. These animals were very much alike in form and dentition as they descended from a common ancestor in the Late Paleocene. Also attached is a photo of jaw sections of Cardiolophus. Jess
  8. I’d like to see the Pliocene fossils from California that people have I’ll start off with some fossils I collected from the Purisima formation at Capitola Beach A vertebra with a shell on the back A heavily eroded whale vertebra with some associated (rib?) bones Some cool clam shells Edited to add: Here’s a clam shell I dug up from the Pinole Tuff formation when I was 7. It was the first fossil I ever found
  9. Hi all, I am looking for Megalodon partial teeth and/or fragments from the Netherlands and/or Belgium. Trade is possible. Kind regards, Ruben

    Neogene fossils

    Hi All, Today I went fossil hunting (Neogene sediments in Belgium). Found some pretty nice shark teeth and 2 Squalodon sp. teeth (one with crown only and one with crown and root). Also some Carcharodon hastalis (Agassiz, 1843) and two tiger shark teeth. For the rest smaller shark teeth, a partial shark vertebrae and Notorynchus sp. teeth. Found 1 special tooth and thought it could be a Parotodus benedeni (Le Hon, 1871). Thick root and crown. Quite big (3.5-3.6 cm). Very curved.

    Sharktooth ID

    Hello all, Can someone help me to identify this tooth? (Neogene age). Found a while ago in Belgium. Very small (8-9mm root with). Kind regards!

    Possible Parotodus benedeni tooth

    Hi all, A longer time ago I found a thick shark tooth from the Tertiary (about 3 cm long). From the Netherlands. It looks like a Parotodus benedeni tooth (a very thick rooth and thick tooth overall). It looks like the one on this site: LINK Perhaps other opinions?
  13. Hello all, I collect shark teeth (like so many of you =). My question: are there any collectors that have Dutch Megalodon teeth/fragments and/or Belgium/German O. megalodon? Pictures of your fossils/fossil teeth are very welcome! Kind regards, Fossilsforever

    Syringopora?

    Hello why there is a Syringopora coral in a NEOGENE-Quaternary formation(Jeddah Saudi Arabia). I regularly find this type of coral and it didn’t seem like much until I learnt that it (or something that looks very very similar)went extinct in the Permian 250 million years ago. there are two possibilities 1: this isn’t Syringopora 2:it is Syringopora and it went extinct much later than we previously thought. the last image is a real image of a Syringopora from the internet. thank you for your time ! Abdulrahman Toonsi
  15. Hello everyone. I offer interesting gastropods from Neogene - perhaps someone will be interested I have a lot of them. They are found in the Khmelnitsky region of Ukraine; the exact age could not be determined. I'm interested in everything - I invite you to private messages Have a nice day
  16. Or is it a composite? It has been repaired apparently. Can you give me your opinion on this? Measurements are 19×18×35 cm

    Trip to Cyprus

    Hello everyone As my last vacation turned out to be quite a challenge in terms of weather, I decided to try another destination – this time the one that guaranteed good and warm climate, namely Cyprus. The summer months mean temperatures around 35- 40 C, so the dominant colour all over the island is now orange and all the rivers are completely dry In several parts of the island you can see the traces of wildfires – here the residents managed to put out the fire right before the ancient monastery Cyprus is a great place to see ancient archeological sites with beautifully preserved mosaics as well as pretty coast and lagoons The most green part of the island is the Troodos Mountains which have some hidden gems, like waterfalls and inland lagoons The first fossil site we visited is situated near Peyia, close to the Edro III shipwreck: There are some beautiful sea caves along the shore The rocks come from the Upper Miocene period and are full of fossils Here are some close-ups of the rocks The next location, Salamiou, was described online as the place, where (I quote): “ecological treasure has been discovered, including fossils of trees and corals dating back 423 million years ago.” Once we arrived in the village, we started asking around, however the local residents (including people who spent their whole lives in there ) had absolutely no idea, where anything like this could be located. After a brief council over ice coffee, with a participation of the village mayor, one resident – Frionis – was delegated, to take the crazy tourist around in his 4x4 car to look for fossils. We went to the rock which the villagers thought could be the right one – it looks like this To get there, we crossed river bed but the rock turned out to be just the rock – and there was nothing interesting among the rocks in the river, either. Anyway, we were happy to do an off-road tour – here is a picture of our accidental guide – Frionis (armed with a stick against snakes) The next location was fairly easy to find – its name is Kakkaristra Gorge and it’s located within a 10-minute drive from the capital city, Nicosia. Again, it’s Miocene site – and you literally walk on fossils The fossils cover all the walls of the gorge The next site was near Agrokipia – it’s called Kottaphi Hill. It looks like this The top is covered with a lot of small rubble – some pieces comprised indeed remains of Miocene corals and shells I will finish the report with a typical vacation picture – a beautiful sunset I hope you enjoyed the report!
  18. Good evening to all participants! I have accumulated a lot of local (from Ukraine) material - I decided to sort it out, and recurring fossils, or not of interest to me, offers you an exchange. Everything in the photos is one lot. Consists of: 1. Tile from Carboniferous period with fern print; 2. A fragment of the armor of a armored fish Podolaspis Lerichei of the Devonian period; 3. Tile with Silrian brachiopods and tentaculites; 4. Mollusk of Neogene; 5. A small fragment of a fossilized araucaria of the Carboniferous period with quartzite crystals; 6. 2 fragments of orthoceras (found together with a tile with tentaculites); 7. A selection of teeth and vertebrae (most of the Cenomanian fish): 7.1. 3 Enchodus teeth (2 large ones are glued from fragments, and the largest (light) one is also smeared with a children's felt-tip pen), Cenomanian. 7.2. Ptychodus teeth (light - Cenomanian; found personally, and dark ones got by exchange); 7.3. 2 undefined teeth of the Cenomanian fish and good teeth of a shark from Malin, Zhytomyr region (by the way, dark teeth of Ptychodus are from the same place); 7.4. 2 Pycnodus teeth - Cenomanian. 7.5. - A bag of Cenomanian fish vertebrae - about 50-60 pieces. Perhaps some of this will interest you. What is interesting to me: first of all, on marine reptiles and dinosaurs, and also offhand, I am interested in the teeth of megalodon, Crinoids and ammonites. Surely I missed something - I ask you, do not hesitate to write to me in private messages - i will glad to talk. Best regards, Svetlana

    Weird sea mammal bone

    Hi guys, I found this bone on the Bulgarian shore of the Black sea, near Balchik. In the region there have been found the remains of cetotherium sp., dolphins, seals, flamingos and others. I am wondering though what exact bone it is and of course of what. I thought that it may be a part of a fin or something like that, but I failed to find a photo of a bone like this. Any help for the identification will be very much appreciated! And happy soon to be new year!!

    sable néogène

    Please can someone help me identify this type of lithophage
  21. I propose to show us your Cenozoic corals. It is not necessary that it are identified although it would be better. What is necessary is that it are dated. Ok? Come on, I'll start. Cyathoseris castroi (Mallada, 1887) Lutetian South Pyrenean basin
  22. I'm virtually certain this tooth is an upper intermediate tooth of Parotodus benedeni from the Middle Miocene Sharktooth Hill Bonebed, Bakersfield, Kern County, CA. It's about 1 1/4 inches high (32mm) and an inch wide (25mm). It could be a juvenile tooth but I think the less-expanded root lobes indicate a tooth position between larger teeth. It's too big to be a symphyseal and the root is wrong for that anyway. The root is too high to be a posterior. The pallial dentine is worn away but you can see the depression of the bourlette. It isn't serrated and not the shape of Carcharocles megalodon. It's definitely not a Carcharodon hastalis nor planus tooth and it's not Isurus. I'm wondering if anyone else has a tooth like this - maybe a Lee Creek collector or another STH collector. Jess
  23. This summer, I visited the beautiful island of Kythera. Located in South Greece, on the joint of three seas, it is a very calm place that combines wild nature, delicious traditional food and history. The lore says that Zeus castrated his father, Kronos. His testicles fell in the sea at the shores of the island and from there Aphrodite (Venus) was born. Goddess of love and fertility, she is also connected with sea due to the way of her birth. This is the point where mythology, history and lore meet. Since the ancient people discovered pectinidae, they built a temple dedicated to Aphrodite. Although I never found the temple, I located the formation. Situated in the middle of the island, the area of Mitata (Μητάτα) is within a Neogene formation. The easiest place to observe the formation is at 36.2508099, 23.0003155 I found many pectinidae and an echinoid, about 15cm diameter. The last one was not fully retrieved. I underestimated its hardness and broke it. On the North side of the island, close to the port you will find permian to early Triassic sediments. There I collected a (rock?) fragment of coral. On the south side of the island, you will observe Cretaceous formations with some fossilised corals. The place is called Melidoni beach. (Παραλία Μελιδόνι) 36.1586538, 22.9481317 The formation is accessible with boat or swimming as it is located across the beach. Thus, no photos.. If you visit it, don't let Google deceive you. Follow the local signs since Google will lead you 3kms North. Since this post has to do with Greece I will include some Greek search keywords, in case someone might be looking info for this area. Ελλάδα, Κύθηρα, απολιθώματα, Μητάτα Κενοζωικός Since tourism has become a little complicated lately, I may visit the place again in October. Hope you enjoy the post. If you visit the island, don't miss the chance to eat at Mihalis Tavern Mitata
