Hi everyone, This is first time I create a topic, apologies in advance if any mistakes. I am a newbie into fossils And I have been searching for a long time trying to figure it out some ID for this unidentified fossil bone. I got it some time ago and I would like to know if thanks to the knowledgeable members of the forum it was possible to get a closer ID. I know that getting species on isolated pieces is impossible, but I would be happy to get a group, family or closer genus of the type of animal it could belong to. *Could it be a pterosaur (as it has very thin walls that was my first guess)? Or some other reptile or even a bird? How to differentiate? * Is a radius as per seller description? Or could be a metatarsal, phalanx... It is from the Phosphate mines of Khouribga, which seeing the bit of matrix attached looks true. Internally is completely crystallized with a thin bone wall around. I took some pictures of the section. The only information I got from the seller is the following: - Location: phosphate mines, Khouribga, Morocco. - Age: Late Cretaceous 96-66 MYO - Probably radius - Unidentified species Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6

Hello everyone, ive recently been offerred this 80cm long bone cluster. The seller said he doesnt know much about it but he said it probably came from a pterosaur. In my opinion it probably came from an azdarchid living in a coastal region based on the shark tooth that was found with the fossil. This fossil was found in Oulad Abdoun area, in the city of Khouribga, Morroco

What Pterosaur tooth is this? I was thinking coloborynchus or Siroccopteryx Moroccensis . It was found south of Taouz, Morocco.

Hello, i saw this ,, Pterosaur bone" for sale today. But its obviously not a Pterosaur bone, its definitly a jaw. But from what ? Crocodile again ? Or even Spinosaurus ? I dont know. Maybe you guys know.

Hello! I just came back from the Isle of Wight. I started "digging" in the Vectis formation stones that I collected at Yaverland and found what looks like a pterosaur tooth. It is +- 3 cm (1,18 inch) in lenght. I couldn't find anything online from the Isle of Wight resembling this kind of dagger shape, more typical of the Rhamphorhynchus pterosaurs. So pterosaur, fish or something else? Thank you!

Hi. I got this tooth before. All i know is "it is Pterosaur's tooth". I don't know about where it from and genus, species. Can I know the species and genus or family of the owner of the tooth just by the picture? I don't know anything about Pterosaurs.

Howdy all, Seller finds this to be a pterosaur tooth, is that accurate? Found in the Britton Formation. (0.35 inches)

Hello together, I am proud to present another one of @lormouths beautiful skeletons I have the pleasure to assemble. At first I intended to build it in the nice quadrupedal position from "Dragons of the air" 1901, but it seems that the shoulder girdle doesnt allow it, especially the right arm that is held closely to the torso. Of course it could be depending on cartilage, but atl east looking at Laurents detailed replica bones, it looks wrong to put it in that pose. I missed the opportunity to take a foto of the neatly packed set of bones I found in my christmas parcel. Thanks again Laurent!

Real or fake pterosaur tooth
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
The seller said its a real pterosaur tooth but im a bit suspicious can it come from another animal or just complete fake?

A new gnathosaurine (Pterosauria, Archaeopterodactyloidea) from the Late Jurassic of Portugal
Vieira posted a topic in Fossil News
Hello, Like some of you knows I'am a portuguese collector who also collaborates with the Lourinha museum. In 2018 I found a pterosaur jaw and I donated to the museum and that fossil this year originated a new specie. The 𝑳𝒖𝒔𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒂. I attached the pdf of the publication (peerj-16048.pdf). who done this study was a Portuguese American - Alexandra Fernandes. The jaw I found:

From the album: Holzmaden
This is a 11 cm long pterosaur bone (maybe a flight phalanx) from the lower Jurassic from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden. It was a very luck find as I found it on a stone, which I took with me because of another fossil. So I am very happy with this find although the preservation is not the best.... Two more pictures:- 6 comments

Real or fake Pterosaur bone?
Eskel posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there! I bought a pterosaur bone (10 cm/ 0,3937 inch) . But I'm still doubting, if it's real. Because I had spotted a glued splice on the left end (at the photos) and I did the lick-test. At the end of the bones, it was sticky, but the midsection was not. So is one part maybe real and the rest is fake? to look better and complete? The piece is from Marocco (Kem Kem), and I know, that sellers there are often faking fossils. Greeting, Lilian

Unknown Bird/Pterosaur/Small Raptor bones from Hell Creek Formation, Montana
FossilRobert posted a topic in Fossil ID
I've got a few bones that I've been scratching my head over for a couple days. They are from the Hell Creek Formation in Garfield County, Montana. They're extremely thin and hollow, and only one seems to have undergone some compression. I'm including measurements with the photos below. Curious to hear what you all think. -
Hi all! I had a thought recently while I was reading about a specimen of Arambourgiania that had been found in the Coon Creek formation. I was thinking that (I have no idea if anyone had thought of this before), much like modern shore birds, maybe these animals were 'beachcombers', basically wandering beaches in search of carrion and small prey such as fish, crustaceans, and large mollusks. Maybe they could use their long beaks to catch clams and other burrowing animals? Let me know what you all think of this idea!

Looking for a little help with some Kem Kem Bones. First are these two, which at first glance I thought were Hybodus shark spines but they lack the surface texture you see on Hybodus spines. I checked Ibrahim's 2020 paper and it states there are only two morphotypes found in Kem Kem, one with striations and another with tubercles, so I'm a little lost as to what these belong to.

Hi!. I found this item on the internet. The seller claims that it is an original and natural pterosaur hand claw. I've never seen pterosaur bones so I can't understand. Can someone try to explain to me if it is true or false? Here some data: Location: Erfoud in southeastern Morocco Species: Pterosaur Family: Anhanguera Period: Upper Cretaceous There aren't info about dimensions. Regards.

Pterosaur jaw specimens are examined from the Cambridge Greensand/Chalk member and are remarkably similar and distinctive from unnamed pterosaur jaws from the Kem Kem Group https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016787823000226

Hello All, I have seen a previous topic on FF about Kem Kem Pterosaur teeth vs. fish teeth. Which got me thinking about a tooth that I collected last year from the Toolebuc Formation, Queensland Australia, but just thinking it was a fish tooth, however its quite long, and Im not sure it matches exisiting fish from the Toolebuc. Scale is in CM. Thoughts? thanks Rodney

Just purchased this bone fragment that was sold as from an Azhdarchid pterosaur. I know it's not complete and it has a few repairs, but is it possible to tell if it's indeed from a Pterosaur. And if so, what part of the body might it be from? Wing bone? Toe bone? Locality: Kem Kem Beds, Morocco, El Begaa Bone size: 156 x 11 x 7 mm Weight: 14 g

This is being sold as a metacarpal from an Anhanguera Pterosaur from the Kem Kem, Morocco. Size is 3,81cm (1.5"). I'm no expert but I'm not sure as I can't see a match with known examples. Sadly don't have more photos. Any thoughts?

Unbelievable pterosaur diversity in this part of North Africa. This paper describes a unique small, long-beaked pterosaur from the Kem Kem Group of Morocco. Does not appear to be named. Paywalled https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195667120303293

Pterosaur bone with maybe some repair work?
msantix posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I have been offered this Pterosaur bone that looks possibly like a Pterosaur metatarsal but even after getting more photos of the fossil, I am not too sure if there has been work done to it, and this is why I want to post it here and get some opinions before doing anything else. I have some small concerns about the joint part. It comes from the Kem Kem. Thanks and I hope the photos are sufficient to determine how real it is!
