Help with Knightia fossil.
ynaffit posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I'm a beginner with fossils and recently purchased a Knightia fossil for 50 New Zealand dollars. When I got home I took a look and noticed it appeared painted. I've researched and apparently people often paint over to enhance it and make it look better. The question is, is it fake? I don't mind if it's painted over for looks but I will be disappointed if it's completely fake. Has to be painted, now I'm just wondering whether it's a genuine fossil or not -

This tooth came out of the mud shattered and I reassembled the pieces I had. It was found in Florida's Peace River in a mix of miocene and pleistocene material. It measures approx. 2.25" wide x 2.25" long x 3/8" thick.

Howdy everyone. I had the good fortune to get out yesterday and stumbled across this guy. It is a 3.7 incher. I wish everyone the same good luck on this Memorial Day weekend

Greetings to all. I found this little mammal jaw fragment last week and I have yet to identify it. I have done some research and haven't found anything that matches it, thus far. Small mammals are definitely not my area of experience (assuming I have any at all). So, I decided opt for the lazier option and let those with more knowledge do the work for me Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me say that the pics might not be the greatest, so I apologize beforehand. The camera on my phone can only do so much with the little stuff. Needless to say, it was found in a local creek in Southwest Florida close to where I live and the dime was added for scale. Thanks!

I'm looking for the latest info on preserving tusk material. I found some associated chunks in the Peace River in Florida yesterday and they are extremely fragile. I'm keeping them in water until I know how to proceed. I have, on hand, some Butvar B-98 crystals but I've had trouble getting them to dissolve in acetone. Is there a trick? My understanding, also, is that butvar cannot be used until the fossil is completely dry. I would appreciate any input on this subject. Thank you!

Found this while rock hunting on the Rush River in Wisconsin. Brought it home thinking the cavities might be indication of an agate. After I cleaned it up all I could see was a skull. Is that possible? It was partially submerged in the river and measures about L10"xH5"xW4".

Hi, I found this neat little thing near the Naugatuck, Connecticut river that recently flooded and receded from spring storms. Do you think it is a fulgurite, or something more "fossily"? I'll be waiting for your eminent opinions!

Okey donkey, my sister just brought this to me. Found hiking in a dry riverbed in Paso Robles, California. The area and rock tell me it is Monterey Shale Formation (Miocene). I said it looks to be fish, but the size of the ribs don't seem to fluctuate which would make it a long creature. Now there is an outcropping of Pipefish about 15 miles south of here, could it be one or ? As you can see from my hand, it is about a 1 1/2" long vertibral column. Thanks, caldigger
