Found on river gravel bar in Sothern Minnesota. I know its a partial tibia - any ideas on species? Sus maybe? Sediments in the area range from cretaceous to holocoen with a good amount of Wisconsin lobe glacial till. Previously we have found bison, mammoth, and ancient horse...

Four separate specimens, all partials. Found in the needmore formation (mid Devonian) near Winchester Virginia. First specimen- first 2 pictures- 1.6 cm: I’m guessing some sort of orthocone nautiloid but the evenly spaced squigly patterns threw me off (I find a lot of them but they don’t have that pattern). Also the fact that it bends a bit (second photo is taken at an angle to give an idea how the cast bends) although this could be from geologic forces. Second specimen- second two pictures- 3 mm: I honestly have no clue. Seemingly has spines? Seemingly thin bodied? Body seems like i

Found this thick bone piece in a new jersey cretaceous creek and wonder if its possible to maybe id since one side has a distinct rough texture while the other is flatter and striated, I would guess either large turtle, mosasaur, or dinosaur. My friend joked its a theropod maxilary skull fragment, but we all know around here that material seems close to impossible to come across haha. Interested to hear any other thoughts.

I was looking through some rocks I have when I came across this. The texture puzzles me and so I thought it could be bone I don’t know exactly where I found it just that it’s in Colorado. I don’t expect to get an ID just I want to know if it’s fossil or not. It appears to have a rounded top like an end to a bone and where it would have connected has bone like texture also on the outside there is a concave dent with the same texture.

Need help in identifying problematic fish bone
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hey everyone Hope you're all doing well! While looking through unprepped/untouched blocks of chalk from last year's fieldwork session in the Late Cretaceous of Møns Klint (Denmark), I found one block that showed a little trace of fish bone. I scraped a bit around it with some dental tools, and managed to reveal the whole fossil. And I'm having quite some trouble identifying it... Could anyone help me? I've included pics and details of the specimen below. Pics: Note especially the 'ridges' in the upper half of the fossil Full detai -
Hey Folks. I’m fairly positive this is a partial tullymonster. Found it yesterday, 3/7/20 in Mazonia south unit. Thanks in advance for any confirming comments.

Here is a thread to share some of your rarest partials that if whole would've been incredible specimens, but you know how it is sometimes... Yet they still amazing to own a piece of. I will start off by sharing a piece of the tail of a Probolichas Kristiae, an incredibly unique looking rare lichid trilobite from Oklahoma that would've of been incredible if whole of course yet this piece still has amazing detail and I am more that happy to own- 43 replies

Baryonyx tooth shard?
BonuFrailman posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, Was wondering what you guys thought about this partial tooth shard. The seller is apparently the one who discovered the oldest spider fossil and dinosaur brain fossil. Seller says this fossil came from HASTINGS SUB GROUP WEALDEN SUPERGROUP WEALDEN OF SUSSEX Let me know what you guys think! -
I was fossil hunting in Tully NY and came across this. At first glance, it’s a pretty meat plate, but when I took a second look, I saw something that reminded me of a partial trilobite. It’s in the bottom left corner. This very well could be me being hopeful, but there’s no harm in asking!! Any insights are greatly appreciated!

I am a mineral and fossil collector and an amateur astronomer and my email is rocksnstars, so rocks collected that include a star shape are special. Most of the ones I have are the crinoid stems with star-shaped centers. This is the first time I've seen anything like this. I believe I have met the requirements of providing a good photo with a scale, and I know the period is Late Ordivician. I tagged Ohio because I think that is where it is from, but it is possibly Indiana, however BOTH sites are the SAME period and well known. I collected the two places the same day, and unfortunately dur

Vertebrae damaged during or before fossilization, from a basilosauridae. Found in Albany, GA, in the Ocala limestone formation, an Eocene deposit laid down by the swannee current between about 34-56 mya. The exact species is possibly still up in the air, since it is been suggested that it is something other than the original ID. We're still looking into the possibilities. Found in Georgia, so that limits the possibilities, but still leaves open a number of basilosauridae, including some dorudontinae such as Zygorhiza. Zygorhiza, which is what it was originally supposed to be, is if -
Hi everyone, I took a step b ack from the forum and fossil collecting in general due to health issues (which turned out ok for now) but I recently obtained this beautiful specimen the other day and although it has it's flaws, I love it. It is a partial molar which belonged to a wooly mammoth.

OK - here's another one from Cincinnati, possible Crinoid imprint?

Well, I finally decided to see if I could get a Certificate of Disposition for an ammonite partial found along the Bow River a few months ago. It took about 5 weeks but I received it today. At least I know I can obtain ownership for one of these babies. Now I have to decide if I want to sell this fella. Need to put some Opticon on it to spruce it up a bit.

What a haul! Rare goodies from the St. Leon roadcut, Indiana. (Trilobites!)
FossilSniper posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
About a month ago, I headed out on two fossil trips to the well-known St. Leon roadcut in Indiana. I was hunting in the Liberty formation (late Ordovician) with the sole goal of finding some nice trilobites (which I definitely achieved!). Along with multiple rare trilobites, I was able to find some excellent examples of other fossils. The spoils were totally awesome, and I am itching to go back. I hope you enjoy. Best for last. -
It has been two years since I last went on a fossil hunt along the Bow River. Permission from landowners is a must but there is also lots of public land affords river access. Lots of climbing. 250 feet of elevation might not seem like much but it sure takes its toll when you load a large partial ammonite into your pack. Two trip; the second one just to make sure there wasn't a piece in the water that I could see. I actually climbed high to an exposed concretion and, knowing it wasn't a fossil, I broke it and watched it bounce and plunge into the river. Now I know just how far out the rest of t

Hello, all! So I am cleaning out my workshop to make room for a lot of new material coming in and to prepare for the upcoming season. I have wayyyyyy too much Penn Dixie material. I have, at this point, committed all of my complete bugs away. But I still have quite literally, TONS, of other material. What I am offering is Edlredgeops rana partials, this includes entire prepped bugs that are missing cephalons, stand alone cephalons, pygidiums, large but broken cephalons, half bugs, etc. (Please note, I am not offering any of these as complete. There is the real chance that some of t

Looking for partial dinosaur claws
lone5wolf117 posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
Hello I am currently looking for partial dinosaur claws to trade with pm me if have any. -
Hello! A friend of mine found this fossil a long time ago on the grounds of Gray Fossil Site (before it was actually established). I believe it belongs to some sort of mammal, but since my main focus is on sharks and dinosaurs, I'm not quite sure. Anyone have an idea of what it may belong to?
