Welcome to a very special gallery topic! It will be exclusively dedicated to fossil specimens our members have contributed to the science of Paleontology!

Requesting Rosel et al. (2021) paper on new Balaenoptera species
Macrophyseter posted a topic in Documents
Not exactly a paleontology-related article, but does anyone by any chance have access to a copy of the recent paper describing the new Rice's whale Balaenoptera ricei? Rosel, P.E., Wilcox, L.A., Yamada, T.K., Millin, K.D. (2021). A new species of baleen whale (Balaenoptera) from the Gulf of Mexico, with a review of its geographic distribution. Marine Mammal Science. 37(2): 577-610. doi:10.1111/mms.12776 -
Hi, a little while ago I bought this tooth. It’s is from Kennedy Coulee right on the Montana/Alberta border and dates at around 79.5-78.2 million years, considering the age and locality could it be Thanatotheristes? Or if not a new species? As Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus don’t appear until at least another 2 or so million years, and it’s to Northern to be anything else. What is everyone’s thoughts? And thank you for any reply’s, @Troodon @LordTrilobite @Runner64

Ratfish tooth from the mid-jurassic in Denmark
Sauroniops posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Hello there fossil forum! A few of you may have read my post about my 2 trips to Bornholm, a Danish island that holds a lot of different fossiliferous geological layers. I had specifically been digging by a location called "Hasle beach", where mid-jurassic sandstone layers are present. There have been found a few plesiosaur bones/teeth there, as well as 2 possible dinosaur bones, still being described, and also a few footprints. Other than that, mostly what you will find here, is shells, and occasionally hybodont shark teeth. As I mentioned in my last post about Bornholm (you- 19 replies

A NEW SPECIES OF ARCHAEOHIPPUS (MAMMALIA, EQUIDAE)
Almost Human posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Archaeohippus mannulus, sp. nov. Monroecreekian/Harrisonian terrestrial claystone Arikareean, late Oligocene/early Miocene Pinellas County, Florida On permanent display at the Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, Fl. I discovered this particular specimen back in 95 while collecting fossils in a shallow creek. Initially thought to be a new species of Miohippus, it was sent to the Museum Of Natural History in Gainesville Fl. for further studies. In 2003 it was determined to be a new species of Archaeohippus rather than Miohippus.- 11 replies

I thought the mosasaur fans here might enjoy a fairly recent bit of mosa-research… This paper describes the very well preserved skull and associated postcrania (a few vertebrae, some pectoral and pelvic girdle elements, a partial forelimb and a hindlimb) of a new tylosaurine mosasaur species, Tylosaurus saskatchewanensis. The holotype material of this tylosaur is from the Upper Campanian (Late Cretaceous) Bearpaw Formation of Saskatchewan, Canada. The paper: Jiménez-Huidobro et al. 2018 new Tylosaurus species.pdf A sneak peak at some of the material described (articula

2018 Addendum to Fossil Echinoids of Texas Book - do you have any Specimens you would like to add?
Bill Thompson posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I published the book Fossil Echinoids of Texas last November. Since that time other people have come forward or found new species. I am currently working to add and addendum to that book. Currently in have 5 new species that will be included in the addendum. Included are 2 new Salenias (1 from the Weno and 1 from the Glen rose), 2 Cidarid spines, 1 new Tiaromma. If you have any Texas echinoids that might be new, I would love to study it (them) and if it is new, I would gladly add that specimen to the publication. Please give me a call and we -
Hi Here's a selection of news links to the new Welsh Dinosaur that was found by Nick Hanigan and Rob Hanigan in South Wales, UK There are lots of stories out there. We made all the UK newspapers yesterday, we were trending on Twitter and the BBC website in the top stories. We made most news bulletins throughout the day and appeared on a number of radio and TV shows. The story seems to be slowly filtering overseas as we've had reports from Europe and the US.
