Hi everyone, Some weeks ago, I found those pair of pieces at the foot of a Pyrenees cliff (Maastrichtian limestone strata), which was stuffed with rudists (radiolidae). They have an extremely smooth surface that confused me. After some fantasies about teeth, bones and so on, I realized that the clue had to be around. My ID guess is: rudist's (radiolitidae) casts, separated from shell by wheatering and erosion. I'll explain it with some pictures taken at the same place, inserted in a fictional sequence (I do not intend they are same species or genus): Do you think my guess is correct ? Thanks,

Hello! These pictures are in situ of a fossil locality I discoveted in Argolis area of Greece. The age is Upper Cretaceus (Cenomanian). I believe that there are lots of Rudists fossils in sections, the ones with circular shapes. But between them there are lots of objects similar to "fish spines" as seen on the below pictures. Are they also sections of Rudists but sliced vertically? Thank you in advance!

North Sulphur River Texas was pretty picked over but I managed to find a nice variety. I found Mosasaur, Cretaceous Turtle, Ammonite, Enchodus / Shark Teeth, Ice Age Tooth, Rudists, Mastodon Tooth Enamel and one artifact in the creek. NSR needs a good rain.

I have one creek that I hunt at the North Sulphur River Texas that has a variety of Rudists. I thought I would share some of my recent finds.

I had a good NSR hunt with my buddy Mick who put me to shame again lol. I did find a nice variety of items and had a good time. Here's some pics of my finds. I even found a lucky horseshoe. It was a little muddy and hot. I started the day off with waders and ended the day in shorts & water shoes.

I had a good day hunting North Sulphur River and NSR creeks. I even ran into a fellow fossil forum member. The Tylosaur vert is my best find yet. The large worn bone I think is Mosasaur, The jaw fragment with partial tooth I'm guessing Mosasuar. The vert with the hole in it and smooth on one side is kind of odd. I just started finding Rudists and now seem to find them every trip. The deer antler is modern but cool so I picked it up. I probably walked over 5 miles today.

I found these fossils last weekend in Praia da Consolação, near Peniche (Kimmerdgian layers) and I labelled them as solitary corals.However I read in some sites that rudists are pretty common in that location. For that I'm a bit confuse, because I never understood the main differences between rudists and solitary corals. Can someone explain me these (and Id my fossils)? Regards, 1-

Dear Madam / Sir, Here are two Lower Turonian rudist cross-sections collected from central Tunisia. Can you please recognize the Subclass, or maybe the order, of these latter. Thank you.
