On a recent trip in Perú, near the coastal town San Juan de Marcona, I saw several middle to late Pleistocene marine terraces. In this one, fossil fragile clams and stout scallops are well-preserved, separately packed in thin strata. I think they are Anomia peruviana and Argopecten purpuratus. clamsscallops Also found one unidentified gastropod Photo shows clam stratum just below scallop stratum.

Hello everyone, I'd like to share my extreme budget collection of exotic megs/shark teeth so far, I've have been collecting shark teeth and other for a little over a year and a half now on an extremely tight budget and have been surprised by what I was able to get a hold of so far. Condition doesn't bother me hence the budget but I have been able to find some megs from from interesting locations over the short period of time I've been collecting with a little bit of luck. Locations include Puerto Rico, Cuba, Japan, Hawaii, Morocco, Mexico, Peru, and The Phillipines. Anyone else out there with extreme budget rare finds especially shark teeth (or from generally exotic locations), feel free to share and I'd love to see! In order of pictures: 1) Two megs and a hemi from Isabella, Puerto Rico 2) meg from Hawaii (Restored) 3) great white from Japan 4) meg from Morocco 5) meg from Cuba (unfortunately stuck on a wood plate but still a lovely display piece) 6) meg from the Phillipines 7) cubutensis from Peru 8) 2 Makos from Mexico 9 & 10) Heavily and horribly restored 5.9 inch Chilean meg (funny story with this one had an even worse restoration on it with made it look no different from a replica, was suspicious and bought it and when attempting a horrible derestoration process and a few slight touch ups of my own a large chilean meg was hiding under the mess, still needs a tad bit of work but I still love I was able to snag a large one cheap in this day and age ) @WhodamanHD Here we go uploaded !

A new paper is available online if anyone is interested: Lambert, O., de Muizon, C., Urbina, M., & Bianucci, G., 2020. A new longirostrine sperm whale (Cetacea, Physeteroidea) from the lower Miocene of the Pisco Basin (southern coast of Peru). Journal of Systematic Paleontology 18 (20): 1707-1742. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14772019.2020.1805520 Rhaphicetus is quite unusual for its long rostrum, so it provides new insights into how sperm whales began developing a supracranial basin to house the spermaceti, suggesting that early physeteroids were longirostrine like beaked whales.

May you give me some extra information about this Megalodon (actually Great White...) tooth?
Luccasforza posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone! This tooth was found at Perú, at Nazca desert zone. I'm supposing that is a Megalodon tooth but maybe, you experts, could give me some more extra information about kind of Megalodon, size or age... I don't know really, but my son is asking me about and some more expert information will help me a lot ;-). The size for rule is in centimeters. Thank you very much for your kindness!

Hi everyone, this is another find from south america. Does it look like a fossil? In one of the pictures there is a protuberance which makes me think so but I am no expert. Thank you all for your insights,

Hello all Up for trade is this set of South-American teeth. It includes 11 Chilean and 4 Peruvian teeth. The C. chubutensis, Isurus desori and Carcharhinus cf. brachyurus (the last three are on the right side) are from Peru. The others (Megachasma pelagios, C. hastalis, Carcharhinus cf. brachyurus, Isurus retroflexus and a fish tooth labelled as dog fish (not sure if correct) and some unidentified teeth. The C. hastalis is just over 2 inch. The Megachasma pelagios is around 2 cm. The C. chubutensis is just under 2 inch and has a crack in the root, but is broken. More precise location is available with every tooth. I prefer to trade this as a set. Also up for trade are these partial teeth from the Santonian of Israel. Certainly an unusual location. What do I want in return? Squalicorax teeth from unusual locations, any Kem Kem stuff I find cool (teeth, bones, scutes, unknow stuff), reptile, amphibian or dinosaur stuff, Mosasaur teeth from Unusual locations or I'm open for any offer I like Due to Corona I can only ship after the end of the lockdown.

Hello. I have this large black ammonite acquired from a man who lived in Brazil. Supposedly this ammo is from Peru, but I do not know any other info on it. There are so many ammo types it makes ones head spin trying to identify the details. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Recently I aquired this Carcharodon tooth from Sacaco, Peru whose serrate conditions seems a bit peculiar to me. I can't really decide whether or not this tooth is from a late-stage hubbelli or an early carcharias. The serrations seem to wear/taper off just short of the tip on one side and abruptly end near it on another, and some (although not all) of the serrations appears to be angled in a way, although I suspect some may be due to wear. My thoughts on the serrations keep seesawing in my head. Would this tooth better represent a late-stage hubbelli or a carcharias? Thanks for any and all answers. Lingual

Hello gang, As promised this is where I will share specimens from my personal collection, my grandfather's collection, and the collection that was donated to the university I work for. The latter is interesting as it is literally boxes of rock and fossils, with no information and my university does not have a geology or paleontology department. I'll be updating it every so often. Enjoy! NOTE: Some of the donated items have old school "labels" on them. If you see initials or such that you recognize, please PM me, as I am doing my best to properly catalog them properly as part of my job!

A new paper is available online: Lambert, Olivier; Bianucci, Giovanni; Salas-Gismondi, Rodolfo; Di Celma, Claudio; Steurbaut, Etienne; Urbina, Mario; de Muizon, Christian, 2019. An amphibious whale from the Middle Eocene of Peru reveals early South Pacific dispersal of quadrupedal cetaceans. Current Biology doi:10.1016/j.cub.2019.02.050. The discovery of Peregocetus in the Pisco Basin of Peru constitutes the first record of a quadrupedal cetacean from the eastern Pacific Ocean, showing that quadrupedal cetaceans inhabited part of the Pacific Ocean. Literally, the basilosaurid Supayacetus and the early mysticete Mystacodon have illuminated early cetacean evolution in the Pacific Ocean, and Peregocetus extends the range of non-pelagicete cetaceans to the eastern Pacific realm, showing that terrestrially suited quadrupedal cetaceans spread quickly throughout the New World during the Eocene.

Hello everyone, this is my first thread on this forum. I found this community while doing some research about a possible bird skull fossil. The piece was found by me in the Sea of Lima, Peru, in the 2018 summer. I can take more pictures if needed. I see myself a peack and some eyes sockets ..
