Not sure if there’s already a thread for this but I know there have to be some cool paleo ink out there amongst the membership. I’ll start off with my newest paleo tat, just inked today. It kind of got in the way of my prepping today as the placement is such that it was resting in my blast box… ouch. I only made it 2 hours before I had to give it up.

Hey, A couple years ago I did go to big brook and I did find some items that I cannot identify there. Im an amateur fossil hunter haha, but I am intrigued to see if they could actually be a fossil or a suggestive rock. Ive attached the photos. I honestly have no idea if they are even anything, but I did have a suspicion that the black fossil looks like an edmontosaurus tooth. No idea.

I've been doing paleo work for about 24 years now. Started very young in southern UT and never gave up on it. Had considered a career in it for a while, but ended up doing other things. I'm a huge fan of pro-am partnerships and have been fortunate to work with some amazing paleontologists over the years. I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting sites. This is my latest find. Happenstance discovery in Pima county AZ a few months ago. Currently under excavation by the county. Second proboscidean I've found so far in the southwest The tusk is obvious, there were a few other bones eroding out. From what I understand they've uncovered some ribs with the tusk so far. Cheers! David

This was found in north Dakota This site has just been exposed there's been a 2 year drought and a lot of high winds , we also found Folsom points ,ultra thin halfted knifes , all made with knife river flint ,a lot of large preforms with Paleo flaking, points were sent to Jackson galleries and were authenticated as Folsom, This skull looks like it's from a very young bison , the way the horns seem to be bending is different from a bison antiquus , They look to be bending downward, Tip to tip it's 24 inches,

Which are your favorite pieces of Paleoart? Something that captured your imagination when you were younger? Something that accompanies your fossil collection? My personal top three is all ''water themed'', in no particular order: From The book of Great Sea-Dragons , this art by John Martin even if totally inaccurate striked me for the grim and dark atmosphere and apocalytical view. Another inaccurate one but these brachiosaurus appeared in a booklet I had when I was a kid and alwas hit my imagination and now I can appreciate Burian's artistic skills. Eventually something more modern, Globidens by Dan Varner ( which passed away too soon) I like how he captured the feeling of marine life and water, his creatures weren't merely floating in a blue background.

From the album: 39 years exploring Texas
I found this in central Texas in a place where someone had already dug up a pile but missed it. James my son wrote this explanation and I’ll add to it. Biggest any of family has found. I estimate it is paleo possible knife. He just walked up to our camp site and said look at the piece and was shocked. We call it the mammoth killer -

One of my favorites. I knife from what I can tell to be paleo. Aka very old 10 000 years or older. Could be wrong. -

I found these in my flower beds around my house. I've been noticing some small little fossilized type sea shells that are really tiny in general. I've also found a few other items that I'm really curious about. The first item found looks like a tooth and I'm trying to figure out if it is or not as well as if it is indeed a tooth if it is something that is prehistoric. The other few pictures look like cylindrical rocks that are the same in size and shape. They each have an end on them that looks sort of like they've been clamped and it has a indentation on that end of the rock as well. However the interesting part is that the one that I found that was broke open has almost like a white hard substance on the inside. For the life of me I have researched this and can't figure out what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hey y'all! I got an opportunity to hunt marine fossils on an creek in South Alabama last week and it didn't disappoint! The first hour I found squat other than a rusty horseshoe. That is until I moved to a rocky and gravel/sand area with a strong current...I moved the big stones aside that littered the bottom and started to skim the top layer of gravel with the shovel as the current splashed against me. My intent was to find Cretaceous Period Shark, Fish teeth, Coprolites and other marine fossils. Scapanorynchus, Squalicorax, Cretalamna, Enchodus and Fish Coprolites Well, was I pleasantly surprised. After two shovelful of materials I found my first arrowhead of the day! Next scoop another and another...next scoop yield two in the sifter and then the find of the day...a Paleo point Dalton! In all my 30 years of hunting Archaic Period points never found this many in one place! Also found two broken points, preforms, broken pottery shards as well as a lot of flakes! The pottery shards were everywhere, in the water...on gravel bars! These were the ones I found. My guess is that this particular area was a pocket that captured tons of sand/gravel along with the points over many moons... that pocket seemed to have an endless supply of material as I dug deeper finally hitting a layer that contained quiet a few teeth... there's those teefers, consisting of . Now that was a haul, I bet that horseshoe had something to do with the luck? There was an abundance of fresh water mussels everywhere, alive and dead. I found several large halves of Washboard Mussels where the interior of the shells had a magnificent mother of pearl iridescence! When held in the sunlight it glows with a rainbow of colors. This photo doesn't do it justice. I can see why the Native Americans put them to every day use in this part of the country. Alabama weather can be unpredictable. When we arrived at the site it was partly sunny with clouds, a perfect day to be on the creek... several hours later we hear thunder in the distance and a dark ominous cloud is on top of us before we know it cutting short the field trip...I was on a roll! We made it to our vehicles in time before the bottom falls out. With so much rain we dare not go back to the creek for fear of flash flooding, so we ended the day earlier than we wanted. I look forward to going back soon.

Info available, rare paleo bird beak unidentified. Ouled Abdoun Basin, Phosphate Beds,Upper Paleocene, Thanetian stage, (~56 Million Years). Any comments welcome, are there any bird experts also on forum ? Inside the cavity there are also a lot of structures which perhaps eliminates a claw core .

Thank you for allowing me to join your group. I am always looking for answers to my geologic questions. Anthropologically, I am pretty sound but I feel I am in an abyss of rocks, minerals and fossils on this property I am excavating and need guidance. I hope yall reach out your kindness and help me unlock some mysteries. Yippee!! I just uncovered what seems to be a very very large oval egg. What do you think?
