I found this skull in our field next to our house last week. It was being pushed up from the ground. The photo shows the front R side of the face w/ clear jawline, R eye socket & R side of a crest. I would like ID help, please. We are 1/2 hour south of the WI border. It was near a fossilized, partially opened egg & the limestone-encrusted skull of a juvenile lizard, among other fossils. There are volcanic rocks nearby & we believe that the interstate Rock River was considerably larger, covering our property & bringing those things south to IL.

Found this on Jones Island, SC. Appears to be an Alligator tooth without the root. Anyone have any thoughts?

Here is a tail of a marine reptile from the Triassic period. It was found at Fuyuan, Yunnan Province of China, at the same strata with Keichosaurus. Does it look like the tail of Yungguisaurus liae or Placodus inexpectatus? It is 56cm in length.

I don’t believe it’s a dugong fossil as IIRC they don’t have hollow marrow areas. It was found away from the beach but around shells, the peace river formation isn’t stratified either way. The last picture may be a separate all together but was found in this cluster of bone, it looks like turtle shell I have seen. It’s on a napkin for scale but the large portion is about the length of my pinky. The shell object is about the size of a nickel. Because of the shell piece found within the bone cluster I’m imagining it could be a turtle humorous

Dinosaur, Reptile, and Amber Collection UPDATE: Shelf #3!
Mousehead posted a topic in Member Collections
Things are getting pretty serious over in The Fossil Zone, so I cleared off a few books and replaced them with fossils. Who needs to read, anyway? Feel free to ask questions about particular pieces. Whole collection: The turtle skull is real, but the surrounding matrix has been stained by the preparator for better visibility. Some here might recognize the new claw that arrived broken in the mail There is a Vinctifer comptoni fish on the back right, along with a negative Grallator footprint, which I can't seem to find a good way to display. New additions here include a croc/turtle egg in-matrix, a Campo del Cielo meteorite, and a few various claws. There's also a piece of the Roman Colosseum, whose origin story I should not divulge. A complete Psittacosaurus foot joins the family. To its immediate left is a Triceratops frill spike. My best-prepared fossil here is the Ichthyosaur rib plate on the right – just incredible work. The little Knightia in the front reminds me every day I need to get a really good fish fossil soon. Amber Time! My favorite time. Rarer inclusions are a mushroom, pill pug, a gigantic damselfly, triple crane flies, a large millipede, caterpillar, a bloated tick/mite, moth with perfect wings, and a small lizard claw. More amber! S-shaped Centipede, multiple termites, a gecko tail, a big fuzzy bee (middle center), and my favorite... ...the back half of a lizard stuck to a leaf on the bottom right. Nice view of that killer centipede here as well! I'm gonna need a new shelf soon, but space is limited here in this tiny NYC studio apartment. Thanks for looking, friends!

Hey all, Just got these teeth and was wondering if you guys can ID a species to them? Here are the deets… Age: Late Cretaceous. Locality:- Fluvial sandstone deposits, Kem Kem Formation. West of Hamada du Guir. Errachidia Province. MOROCCO. They were labelled as coloborhynchus moroccensis but I thought the coloborhynchus was only found in UK.I’m not really familiar with Moroccan locality to this detail other than the “Kem Kem beds” so maybe my locality provided narrows the ID possibilities? they sort of look like sirrocopteryx/ coloborhynchus teeth but based on older pterosaur ID threads, would it be safer to label these as ornithocheirid indet? Thanks for the help in advance!

Reptile Trace Fossils Stolen from Capitol Reef National Park
Crusty_Crab posted a topic in Fossil News
Reptile tracks dating from 251 MYA from the early Triassic were stolen around 2017/2018 from Capitol Reef National Park, but only recently noticed. Hopefully the perpetrators will be found and the fossils recovered. https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1563/care-rfi-05102022.htm -
Hi, after a work related break in Wexford recently I found this item washed up on the beach. After lightly cleaning it and viewing it under a jewellers loupe, I realised that it appeared to have inscriptions on it. I thought I may be just willing oil t to be the case, but upon further investigation they are definitely man made carvings. It seems to be a fish/catfish possibly to the front, and inscriptions of what I can make out to be, a person, stick like figure, fish, a PI symbol as well as others. It is very intriguing and though I'd share in the hope other do too. Thanks.

From the album: Holzmaden
This is probably one of my best find so far from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden. Its a plate with some pterosaur bones, which is very rare in Holzmaden as these are marine desposits. The bigger bone might be a Humerus. Before I was able to find this piece I only found a few isolated pterosaur bones. Hopefully I can find a complete one one day The prep of this specimen took about 5 hours. Before the prep it was visible that these are pterosaur bones so I was very surprised ... Some more pictures:- 4 comments

Hi - we have another curious find, hoping someone here can give us some insight on what this is. We initially picked it up thinking it was a small piece of petrified wood. But upon closer inspection it looks to maybe be bone or septarian or ? The dark outer layer has a reptile-like pattern on the top side, and a smoother (more weathered?) appearance on the underside. I’ve attached a bunch of photos hoping they will help. This was found on a beach in southern Oregon. It’s about 3cm x 5 cm. Thanks…

All that was on the label for this item was that it’s from the Permian age and from Texas. I don’t have any further info on it. Does anybody know what this is?

Dear fellow fossil huntersand fossil enthusiasts hello there. It has been a very long time since my last postI really had not much time to focus on this hobby of ours sincemy son was born. So he's now 3 years old and things are getting better, hahaha. So after this short personal note her is what I have to ask. I found this fossil pieceof bone. It is clearly a fragmet of something else, I guess from some kind of vertebra but I am not sure if it could be from some skull, maybe fish, maybe something else, I really don't know. I found this in a Pliocene marine deposit, I have found fish teeth and small bones in there but this is quite new. The ruler in the pics is in cm. Any help or hint will be helpfull and appreciated. Ask for any additional pics if needed. Paco

From the album: Burmese Amber
Parts of a small lizard tail and leg. Mostly hollow, but the distal ends of the tail and foot are preserved. My hypothesis is that the lizard body was partly captured in a resin flow. The majority of the body was then picked out by scavengers, leaving behind a resin cast of the body that was filled in by another resin flow. Scavengers were unable to extract the distal elements. -

I found this fossil in a pallet of rocks I got for landscaping. The rock came out of the Arkansas river. When you stick your tongue to it, it sticks as a bone would. I think it looks like reptilian skin. Could anybody help me out?
