From the album: Sharks and fish
The shark relative is genus of eugenodontia holocephalid from the Carboniferous-Pennsylvanian age Anna shale formation, Carbondale group, found in different Illinois coal mines. I dont know(yet)which mine these were found in. This unidentified species is of the "vorax-serratus- crenulatus-heinrichi" or "E. heinrichi group", with the teeth being more of a standard triangular shape, as opposed to being thinner and pointed at a forward angle as in the "E. minor" group http://www.thefossilforum.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=501751 -
From the album: Marine reptiles and mammals
A little collection of assorted mosasaur fossils from 2 different places that I got when I first started collecting. 2 different types of vertebrae, one is mosasaur, and the other is a questionable claim of mosasaur, a corprolite that was claimed to be that of a mosasaur, a tooth, & 7 rib fragments. 2 ribs have predation marks, as well as the large vertebra. The large vert has a round tooth indent on the very center. The 2nd rib down has tooth scratches along the surfaces, & 3rd rib down has a round tooth indent in the center, which is probably what caused a strip across the middle to break off. There are 2 other tooth marks on that rib as well, forming a diagonal line from above left of the center indent, breaking off a piece along the top, to below right. -

Xiphactinus Audax vertebrae NorthEast texas Ozan Formation--Taylor shale upper cretaceous -
I have a regular collecting spot in Capon Bridge, WV, which is my go-to spot for Eldredgeops Rana trilobites. On my most recent outing I picked up this odd thing, and I have no idea what to make of it. There is a pencil just to the left of the fossil, for scale. The fossil is fairly flat, hardly three-dimensional, so no need for side photos. It appears to be three-pronged and pyritized.. pyritized in the same way that the trilobites often are at this location. The local shale is early to middle Devonian, I *think* Needmore Formation. Any thoughts welcome!

Pretty sure it is not an ichnofossil, but with two leaflets on the rock I don't have much to ID it from. Hartford Basin Portland Formation Massachusetts -

Either a small footprint or a partial one I believe it to be a Grallator due to its shape and size. Picked it up while hiking. Hartford Basin Portland Formation Massachusetts -

A mud crack preserved in the shale, I determined it not to be an ichnofossil due to more that turned up in the rock. Hartford Basin Portland Formation Massachusetts -
So I was picking at the back of my new diplomystus and I found a partial skeleton! It's majorly cut-off, I know, and it's nothing special. I just figured you guys might have fun figuring out what it is!

Hello, Finally signed up. I'm afraid this is the least interesting new member on record. We just hunt our local shale for ferns and grass without knowing a lot. Your forum is amazing to lurk, intimidating to join. Found one thing which has bugged us so thought it would be good to hand it to professionals. Not a ' find ', something under a large rock ( very large, as in boulder-sized, no treasure hunters here- just baffled ) not far from here. Anyway, hate to join without a lot to say except it's a terrific forum for we closet geeks out here. Will post a few photos in your ID forum. At least we know what a fern in shale looks like! Schuylkill County 101.

Hey Everyone! Happy new year! A nodule from South Pit 11 Mazonia area split and can't figure out what it is? Millipede? Shrimp tale? I have the Wittrey book I've been looking through and I see similar features on multiple animals from his pictures. Thanks for your help!

Found on a coal shale dump near Jolliette, PA. Fresh water bivalves ? Marine bivalves washed in during a transgression ? Or could they be Branchiopods ? Other ?
