Hello everybody, I'm sorry for making thread about ID mixed fossil types,but I didn't want to open multiple threads for such a small specimens as they aren't something ''special'',but small specimens that I would like to properly ID. They were bought from one small fossil shop that sells fossils,meteorites,amber,dinosaur teeth and those kind of things. They are fairly small shop,but they have nice collection of small affordable fossils for sale. I bought them years ago and I always wanted to get proper ID of them,but my camera wasn't good at the time and I always had more ''important'' things to do. Today I finally got time and I took photos,but unfortunately I forgot where did some of those fossils came from as too much time has passed. I remember some of them,but not all. All of those fossils were cheap. Fossils are placed near metric ruler for size reference and are measured in centimeters. First fossil is Spinosaurus Aegypticus (Cretaceous Period 90 MYO) found in Kem-Kem basin Taouz Morocco It is 4cm long. I would like to know is it possible that tooth from Spinosaurus is sold that cheap and is authentic as well since it's rare animal? I know they had lot of teeth during their life that were constantly replaced by new ones as the animal ate/broke them,but I still having hard time to believe that authentic dinosaur tooth is sold for so little. Second fossil is trilobite that is from Cambrian period if I remember correctly.I forgot location where it came from unfortunately. It's only one centimeter long and I'm not sure if it's authentic or not because bottom of it look somewhat weird (at least to me). I uploaded 3 pictures of it. Third fossil is Neuropteris seed fern Carboniferous period (320 MYO) from Crock Hey pit-Wigan Lancashire UK I uploaded 3 pictures of it and I would like to know do you think it's genuine? Next two fossils are supposed to belong to Tyrannosaurus Rex,but they are so small it's impossible to tell from what dinosaur they came from,if they even belonged to a dinosaur. It's stated that they are from Tyrannosaurus Rex Cretaceous period (65 MYO) Hell Creek formation Northwest South Dakota-USA As far as I can tell (and I don't even belong to newbie amateur class) they seems to have honeycomb like structure that could be where the blood vessels were once the animal was alive. If it's a dinosaur I presume it would belong to some Theropod because of that honeycomb like structure,but that just my humble inexperienced opinion. I uploaded 5 pictures of those two fragments and I would very much like to know did it belong to some Theropod or at least a dinosaur and do they look like they really came from Hell Creek formation judging by color and things like that? Note: 4th T-Rex fragment picture have one side completely yellow that is totally different from rest of the specimen.Do you perhaps know what that is? And lastly,last two bone fragments are stated as ''Triceratops'' bone fragments,but I'm aware that's impossible to tell just like ''T-Rex'' fragment from above because they are simply too small. However,I would like your opinion about them as well. Do they look like fragments that belonged to dinosaur at least? They came from either Montana or North Dakota and I think they are too from Hell Creek formation like ''T-Rex'' fragments,but I'm not 100% sure,more like 90%. They are of course 65 MYO,at least that's what seller stated. I uploaded 7 pictures of those 2 fragments. Once again,I want to apologize for multiple different specimens in one thread,but I think you'll agree that this is better than opening 5-6 threads for such a small specimens. Lastly,I want to thank you for taking time to read this and I hope you can tell me are all those fossils genuine and if those 4 fragments came from some dinosaur if you can get any info from small fragments like those of course. If you have any questions that could help you get better ID,feel free to ask them. Thanks!
