  1. Welcome to a very special gallery topic! It will be exclusively dedicated to fossil specimens our members have contributed to the science of Paleontology! Their fascinating stories will be found elsewhere within this new forum. However, the posts in this Pinned topic will serve as a visual reference for those fossils our members have donated to further research in science-based museums and universities. So, let's get started. Please follow the format and guidelines below when posting in this topic: Common or Scientific Name. Geologic Formation or Geologic Age. Region the fossil was found. Museum or University that received the fossil. A short note explaining the reason for the fossil contribution. Please include a link to the topic about your fossil (if available). (attach your fossil photos here) Please use the linked topics (or the PM system) to continue any discussion or congratulations. Your fossil donation to the science of paleontology will be recognized by The Fossil Forum with this icon under your avatar: Thank you for sharing your fossil contributions.
  2. Sometimes life takes a different path. A collector friend gave me a few fossils to prepare and identify. It was interesting material. After preparing we thought about writing an article about it. And to donate the material in a collection. My friend died at the beginning of the work. We finished the work and published it in his memory. The material will go into a public collection, but it is still to be decided which one. So, it is not my material what will be donated. I post the story with the paper because I think it is a good story how it should work. The collector, Peter Silberhorn, was not a member of TFF or other social media foren. He was 78 when he died and "did not really like the internet". Paper was published a day ago, I add it. Fossils are a nice Trigonia-shell, a burial aisle of a digging crab Protocalianassa and a rib from a ?Mosasaur. The burial and the rib are new for the site Raquet_Wiedenbeck_Silberhorn_2024.pdf

    Massive discovery needs verification

    Hi everyone I have recently been on a fishing trip and discovered a huge deposit of crystallised petrified crocodilians and serpents including titana boa in wales. I have the following fossils as evidence and have tried contacting the museum with no joy, really need some guidance please. I believe the first fossil is a petrified crocodilian head the second i believe is a baby or small crocodilian Have then displayed the teeth vertebrae and scutes I have found and will happily send detailed individual pics of the ones your interested in or all of them eventually, I have been collecting for days as I needed as much evidence as possible. Please let me know what you think and if you want any more close ups etc, I will post more very soon including a large jaw bone and a fair size do snake head. Thanks In advance
  4. From the album: Texas Turonian (Cretaceous)

    Ptychodus (undescribed species) and basal mosasaur Turonian Texas Sharing this hand sized slab is Ptychodus tooth from a species yet to be described (though the paper on it will be released very soon), and an early (probably russelosauran) mosasaur tooth. Since its discovery in September 2021, I have donated this slab to SMU
  5. Do you think we'll find a new kind of dinosaur every few years after 100 years?
  6. Hello. I found this scleractinian coral fossil in the Hanifa Formation in Saudi Arabia which dates back to the Oxfordian, Jurassic. It doesn’t seem to be mentioned in scientific papers and I think it could be a new species. If so, what family and genus is it. Thank you!!

    cf. Thanatotheristes tooth?

    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
  8. 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 can read it here), I found a ratfish/chimaera tooth together with the drummer from my heavy metal band. Our guitarist and bassist were nearby, as me and the drummer sat in one spot, opening several large eroded sandstones together, when suddenly a small black lump was visible within the orange sandstone. It turned out to be a chimaera tooth. When we were done digging for the 7 days we were there, we handed some of the stuff over to the museum on the island to check it out. I took the chimaera tooth with me home. About 1 and a half month later, a renowned Danish paleontologist made a lecture/presentation about dinosaur finds on Greenland. In between one of the breaks in his presentation, I got to talk to him, and I had taken some of my finds from Bornholm with me, including some plesiosaur bones, and the chimaera tooth. He took some of the stuff with him, to examine closer. He sent some of the bones back last month, saying it was some partial vertebrae fragments, which wouldn't be of interest to the geological institute. However, the chimaera tooth was interesting, as it was unlike other chimaera teeth found at the location. Today I just got an email from the paleontologist, that the tooth is in fact from a new species, and will be included in a scientific article about chimaera-fauna in the Hasle-formation! It has officially been declared "Danekræ", which is a title all "scientifically important" fossil-finds are given. It becomes state-property, and the finder/finders of the fossil are rewarded with some cash, as well as the honors of having their name attached to the find!
  9. Never would’ve thought that geiger counter (or some other machine like one) would be used when collecting fossil! Anyway, here’s the link: https://www.livescience.com/amp/new-allosaurus-dinosaur.html Enjoy!
