I hope I'm putting this question in the right place. I'm not the best at figuring out geologic maps so could use some help knowing where the site I'm going to describe is. My interest is in section 19 of the above map. I've got it marked with Google Earth placemark in an enlarged view of section 19. A close up: Thanks to anyone who might help me with this.

Hi, I recently bought this online and it was listed as a Trimerorhachis Insignis tooth from Jefferson County, Oklahoma. After comparing it with other images I think this could be a claw and not a tooth, but I'm not 100% certain... Could anyone please confirm if it is? Thanks, Billly.

Where do i get permission for mulbring quarry near cessnock?
FrostbyteFossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Does anyone know where i can get permission from to go into mulbring quarry and is there any required qualifications? -
Found this last Sunday. And i can't seem to narrow down who lost it, Xenacanthus or Orthacanthus. To my knowledge neither has been formally described from the location it was found. And, no, i will not say where. I'll simply say LaSalle county, IL. Still not sure if my site is Permian or Carboniferous. I'm 90% convinced it's Carboniferous. Any ID help is much appreicated. I'm leaning more towards Orthacanthus. Sorry, i'll add mm later. As found: After some needle prep:

Hi all, I finally found my first Permian age fossils in southern Nevada, however I'm no expert on this age so perhaps some of you could help me out. In general I know what a brachipod looks like but it's really hard for me to tell when looking at these fossils. I'm not sure if the first one is one, or is just some sort of rock.

Hello! I want to tell you about my fossil hunting trip in Checkarda canyon. It's located near Perm city, in Ural region. First I flew to Perm from Moscow. After I met my friends and we went to first point of our trip. We decided to reach paleo-site on the boat The russian village avoids after some times We slowly floated downstream and moored near the field. We saw crushed pine, it stayed as label) This place is famous for its plant's fossils (ferns, ginkgo, etc), but I realy wanted insect's fossils.

Rhabdolepis macropterus (BRONN, 1829) Early Permian Morsbacher Hof Rhineland-Palatinate Germany -
I found this fossil associated with crinoid fragments, a fish spine, and corals. The location was a small canyon in the Cottonwood Mountains of Death Valley. Collecting is not allowed, so unfortunately I have only the one field photograph. Any ideas? It's small; length is about 1.5 cm, a little over half an inch.

Five New Fossil Forests Found in Antarctica Hundreds of millions of years ago, Antarctica was carpeted with prehistoric greenery. Now, scientists may have uncovered clues about what happened in the "Great Dying," or Permian extinction.

Ancient Animal Could Take Itself Apart to Escape Predators
Heteromorph posted a topic in Fossil News
“A tiny, ancient reptile that lived hundreds of millions of years ago had a great trick for deterring predators looking for an easy meal: ditching its tail.” https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/03/ancient-reptile-tail-loss-predator-spd/- 2 replies

Labidosauriscus richardi is a new captorhinid genus from the Lower Permian of Oklahoma. The report was published by Modesto et al. (2018) and is based on two skulls and a few other isolated cranial and postcranial elements. Both skulls were recovered from Richards Spur, a highly productive fissure fill locality that has yielded the numerous remains of a diverse tetrapod fauna. The holotype skull (OMNH 77609) is considered to be from a juvenile or subadult individual, based on poor ossification of the articular. In terms of skull morphology, L. richardi is very similar to other captorhinids from this fossil site (the only difference being ornamentation); the key diagnostic feature was dentition. This particular dental morphology showed that this new captorhinid was possibly insectivorous - thus demonstrating a greater ecological diversity in Captorhinidae (several RS captorhinids are possible herbivores). L. richardi represents the sixth captorhinid genus from Richards Spur. Source: Modesto, S. P., Scott, D., & Reisz, R. R. (2018).

Is there anyone who would possibly agree that this fossil might not be from a crinoid? The dimensions are about 3cm long and up to 2cm wide. After viewing numerous fossils of this sort, in a Leonardian formation, they are rarely, if ever, found in groups of more than three, and the occurrences always look the same as in the images attached. If there is no doubt that it is a crinoid, would you please post which might show a convincing likeness? Other than curled arm or columnal (stem disc) I am at a loss and by far much less than a novice paleontologist. Thanks for any help and forgive me if my terminology is not spot on.

Some permian crinoides for trade! I put only two specimen if anyone interesting I have more.

Hey gang, here is a sneak peak at part of a new exhibit im installing at the museum. These are all Diadectes vertebrae that I finally have prepped. The width rib to rib of the largest caudal vertebrae at top left is about 7 inches. Lower Permian dectids had an absolutely massive tail with incredible muscle mass. Such a cool guy. Its amazing how much difference there is in his vertebrae from cervical to thoracic to lumbar etc...

As monthes passed in 2017, i wasnt under the impression the year was that good fossilwise. But now it's over and after rewieing what i found during my different trips, i must say it has been a hell of a year. So here come most of my 2017 best finds. This is a trip in some french hunting place, mostly nothern half, From west to east, from ordovician to cretaceous. I hope you will enjoy the diversity
