A crazy inflated Neph! The reverse has a wild opsitothorax, while this one has it only partially preserved. -

Opalized Fossilized Spruce Limb
Royal peacock opal mine posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Miocene Spruce tree limb -Conifer Found in Virgin Valley, NV Humbolt County Museum This Spruce branch was buried in conditions that prevented it from rotting out at all, instead it was fossilized where it sat for who knows how long until the hydrated ash (Si02 Nh20) worked itself down whatever it could get through (or some say the silica gel was forced up from all the geothermal activities) finding cavities along the way to call home for the next X amount of years. this piece was donated for the reason that there was barely anything on display. Been wanting to do it for a long time anyways so thought better late than never.

From what I’ve seen on FF this looks peccary. Many people have told me it’s not. IMG_1031.MOV

This publication described a new dinosaur, first for Nevada. Its a Thescelosaurus type dino called Nevadadromeus schmitti. Its paywalled but check out the video .

Hi all, Recently was able to finally locate a new site to check out with a friend of mine. Not much float but we did end up finding these two pieces. Any ideas on the two bones in matrix? The one I’m assuming is a metapodial of some sort and the other looks familiar I just can’t place it. As for the mandible section, I couldn’t be any happier. I believe it belongs to Tomarctus, but I’m open to feedback on that. as always, thank you for looking.

Unidentified Miocene Bones from Tonopah, NV. Possibly a Artiodactyl?
ConnorR posted a topic in Fossil ID
So I bought a completely unidentified fossil the other week because it looked cool. All I know about it is that the seller said that it's from Tonopah, Nevada, and the matrix appears to be a tuffaceous sandstone. According to my research, this points to the fossil being from the Siebert Formation, around the middle Miocene. I'm leaning toward some kind of artiodactyl, assuming that the bones on the right are metatarsals or metacarpals.

This weekend as I was out rockhounding for quartz crystals I found this interesting piece. It looks very much like bone to me. Any insight or information would be appreciated. I will add more pics in the comment section. Thank you!

Hi all, I have a mostly intact pelvic bone of a large camel species. Unfortunately, it was found just and inch or two below the surface in a quite soft sandstone that was mostly sand. As a result the side closest to the surface is in quite poor shape, especially near the obturator foramina. I have used paraloid B-72 throughout the prep to give some strength to the bone and some superglue in the larger cracks, but as I have removed most the matrix, this is quite the fragile piece. Any suggestions on how best I can proceed? I know paraloid isn’t best for heavy weight and I don’t want to paint superglue all over it-unless that’s what’s needed.

Good Afternoon, I was hoping for help identifying two trilobites I purchased from a yard sale. The first is a cephalon (3cm wide) - I presume some species of Olenellus? It was labeled as from 7 Oaks Springs site in Nevada. Altitude 5810ft. The second is a full trilobite (2.5cm L), also labeled as from Nevada but without a location. Any thoughts? I can take higher res photos if that is helpful, this is just with my phone. thank you, -Connor

I found this rock looking for geodes, I think it’s a fossil but I’m not quite sure. My best guess is coral IMG_1254.MOV IMG_1254.MOV

Hi all, I found this today at one of my usual spots isolated on the surface. There was some surrounding float but nothing big enough to ID. I’m thinking it’s a sacrum perhaps, but that’s really just a guess. It seems probably 95% complete with just two small broken pieces. Any thoughts of what kind of animal (genus) would have something like this. Any help is appreciated as always!!

My husband brought this home from work for me. I have no idea what questions to ask, I want to learn. 67530737352__B9E5AAE1-120C-473C-8A8C-F62E56EB3DED.MOV

Hello, A few years ago while driving through Beatty Nevada we stopped to camp on some BLM. We were walking around looking at the scenery and stumbled upon this fossil. It’s not a lot to go on but I’m just looking for some possible identification. Thank you for your help!

Hi all, I went to visit a new site yesterday that I had found mentioned in some literature from the early 1900s. It was a great day no doubt, and I was hoping to get some input on a few things. Stubby tooth I believe is a horse, but I’m not as sure about the long thin one, never found one quite like it. My largest piece is a camel(?) calcaneus and the small collection of toe bones were from a 1’ x 1’ area- all associated from the same animal I assume. They look camel to me, but much smaller than any I’ve ever found before. Any ideas? As best I can tell the formation was dated to 10-30myo but I cannot find much else in literature. thanks as always for the wisdom!
