I found this small and delicate, nearly intact marine reptile bone in Big Brook yesterday, and I'm wondering if anyone can identify it. The bone is just under an inch in length.

Marine reptile skeleton real?
Erbenochile posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I found this at an antique shop and was wondering if it is real. There is very little info but to me it looks like it’s from China. The owner said it is from an old collection. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any idea on what genus this could be from? Or, if it even is a crocodile after all? This tooth was previously IDed as a crocodile but others claimed spinosaurid. The tooth is late Cretaceous in age. It's from the Kem Kem Phosphate Beds in Touz, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco.

Found this little guy on a beach in southwest Florida. Grabbed it because I thought it looked interesting. Any ideas on what this could be? Thank you!

I found this vertebra in some Aguja Formation micro matrix. It measures 4mm by 3mm. It's cretaceous in age from Brewster County, Texas. It looks very different from any fish vertebrae that I've ever found. It does seem to have a bit of damage. I'm thinking maybe reptilian. Possibly lizard? What do you guys think?

Below is a reptile tooth, from the Ypresian of the Ouled Abdoun Basin in Morocco, that I have been struggling to identify. I suspect it to be a dyrosaurid of some description, but I'm not particularly confident in that statement. The tooth has no serrations, but it does have a ridge on one side, which I attempted to capture in the final image. Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's Othniel

Fossils labeled as from East Bluff, California but not so sure if that’s correct
Guest posted a topic in Fossil ID
These were sold to me stating they came from the East Bluff area in Newport Beach, California. But research into fossils from that area comes up with late Pliocene material that doesn’t look anything like these. The serrated tooth is especially confusing. Any ideas?

Not another keichousaurus - sorry but need help
fossil_fun posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! Sorry to add another keichousaurus to the forum but I was hoping to get some help. I've always wanted one of these but have never done it because I am worried it might be fake. So, if anyone could provide input, I would be super grateful. I looked at the things to look for both in reals and fakes and nothing really stood out to me about either being real or fake. I am okay with slight restoration but would like it to be as authentic as possible of course. I cropped the picture to respect the identity of the collector and dealer but some of you may have seen this, haha. Thanks in advance forum!

really cool fossil turns out to be really cool fake, but it had long puzzled scientists so it did not completely fool everybody, and may not even be an intentional attempt to deceive link for details

Started going through some of my older finds and thought I’d try to identify some of them. These are all found in Gainesville, Florida creeks. First one is just a chunk of bone, not sure if it’s even identifiable. My guess is part of a scapula because it’s somewhat flat and curved. Second is a small bone, maybe a carpal of some sort? And third, I’m thinking is a partial alligator tooth. I can see a small bit of enamel left on it, but the enamel seems to have some ridges on it which is confusing.

A customer/friend of mine has bought a nice meg tooth and a bivalve from me for his boss for Christmas. He would like to get him a fossil book for a gift now too. He says one that covers marine and land would be good. Something to spark his imagination but also to learn from. He is looking to spend £30 to £40 on it, any pointers would be good please?
