Hey, I've got this meg that I think could be pathological, but I’m not sure. Here are a couple pics.

I found while going over some hash plates from the Late Mississippian (Chesterian) of Indiana. Looks like some kind of scale/denticle perhaps. I feel like I've seen one before but can't put my finger on it. Any thoughts?

My 18th trip to Big Brook this morning. Trying to get to other spots not just the same honey holes. Explored the Kovalski tributary today. A lot of downed trees to climb over or under. Unfortunately not very productive. My most interesting finds were a couple of broken bottles; one Hunyadi Janos Saxlehner Bitterquelle circa 1900 and the other the bottom of what looks like a wine bottle but very thick and clearly not made in a modern bottle factory. My most plentiful finds were the garbage - metal, plastic and mostly glass - which I pick up and carry out. I’ll be back next week and already psyched to go

Hey all, I just found a great Alopias grandis tooth today In Charleston, SC that I thought I would share. I have found a couple partial ones, but never a full one with the root.

I recently moved into a house with some friends on our university campus, and this nice cabinet was included right past the front door. So of course I had to put together a little museum! These are just the fossils I have on me at this time, but I’ll probably pick some more up to add next time I visit home or if I go on a hunt soon. I tried adding some fun blurbs with a couple that I felt had some really cool information hiding in them. If there’s any specific part you want to see, or if you have any fun suggestions, let me know!

I’m still learning to distinguish the different types of Big Brook shark teeth. Yes I can tell Crow from the others and am pretty clear identifying anterior Goblin but do get confused with other Goblin vs Sand Tiger vs Mackerel. Hopefully someone will confirm that this what I think: posterior Mackerel. And if I’m wrong what is it? Slightly more than a half inch wide. As always, thank you for your help and my apologies for my lousy iphone5 photo

Hey all, I found these 3 teeth and vertebrae on a hunt this week and was hoping to get an ID on them since I do not recognize them. Any help would be greatly appreciated! If a need to post any other pictures please let me know!

Hi all! Following the first topic I'll show you another fossil layer in that same location, Epivirgatites nikitini ammonite zone. It's the lowest of the three layers in Fili Park, relates to the middle Tithonian (Volgian, upper Jurassic) and is known for big ammonites and vertebrate remains. It's the last remaining accessible site in the region where you can count on finding Jurassic vertebrates. The finds are stable, but small, scarce and involve sifting.

Hi, I found this tooth in South Carolina earlier this summer and was wondering what it was, right now I’m thinking desori or bene(I’m hoping its a benedini, but I don’t know how realistic that is)

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to fossil hunting and don't know much yet. I have found lots of shark teeth over the last year, close to 100, but don't know what a lot of them are. The vast majority of my collection is #6 & #9. Those seem pretty common. I have found around 8 of #1 (the one in the photo is the largest), four of #2, two of #3, and around 5 of #7. Numbers 4,5,8,10 are my only finds like those pictured. I would love some assistance identifying these if anyone knows what they are. Please let me know if you would like close ups of any tooth. I would be happy to add some additional photos if necessary. All the best, etj915

Hello and good evening! I have passed this fossil a few times and it resides in a large limestone slab. I believe it could be a spine due to presence of Chondrichthyan teeth in the area and how it appears to come to a point. For reference the teeth I have found include teeth from Petalodontiformes, Eugenodontida, and other Chondrichthyans. I will note I have found some petrified wood in the area, but none in a limestone matrix so it could be a Calamite. Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Muncie creek shale member

This could have easily escaped, if it wasn't for the watchful eye!

One of my larger concretions, I find this one very interesting and plan to dig out the rest of it once I learn how to prep fossils from concretions! -

Currently being donated and Identified. Will update on this specimen if this is a new species and its identification. -

This concretion came out in multiple parts and I was able to salvage the tip. I will restore this specimen and prep it in the future! -
I’ve been afraid all week that I would get cancelled by the lightning. As late as Friday evening the forecast was for occasional thunderstorms and I already asked my wife if I could go Sunday morning instead. Set my alarm for 5am and the shark gods were with me and the forecast was just cloudy. My 16th trip to big brook and I’m already psyched for number 17. Today’s highlights were a pair of bones. Femurs I think and likely deer and modern but still way cool. Always a couple of “not sure what this is” pieces. All in all, another great day picking teeth. Still, I kick myself for all the years I could have been doing this. I envy our younger members who have a lifetime of this to look forward to.

A friend gave me this today. He is not sure where it's from as it was gifted to him. And now it's mine.
