I don't normally post these, but this one is too good to be true. Listed on our favorite auction site as "Mini Dinosaur, One of a Kind, Nearly Complete, Prehistoric". And it only opens at $1000. OMG!

Same Story again, looking whart i can make of a bought model that has been around for some time. Another marine tetrapod. To be perfectly clear, This is a commercially bought Model which I changed to my ideas.Like my marine sloth and most of my dino- and other saurian ,models, but not my whales. I ordered the model from geoworld because some of the line had been quite nice. When I first saw it I didn´t think I could make something for my collection out of it. Trying it anyway. Scaled size and approximate proportions of Futabasaurus, not reallyenough detail to tell. Aloha J

Utah Family Unearths Ice Age Horse Fossil In Their Backyard
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
An Ancient Horse Is Unearthed in a Utah Backyard Paleontologists recently determined that a skeleton discovered during a landscaping project belonged to a horse from the Pleistocene Era.

As my whale family is nearly complete now I went looking for other marine tetrapods. (and big fish by the way). I had for some time included Thalassocnus, the unbelievable swimming sloth of Miocene Peru in my to do list. Really fourlegged tetrapods are quite a lot of work compared with the highly reduced whales, so I was glad when I realized that the Megaterium made by geoworld was more or less my scale when seen as a big Thalassocnus of 3.3 meters. It finally arrived the day before yesterday, and today I spent some hours making it look more seagoing. I lengthened the snout, smoothed the skull and jaw. sawed out the intercostal spaces and made the limbones less bulky. The spinal processes are pointing more backwards now. (or at least their edges are) I am positively surprised how well this cheap model turned out after only few hours of work. Aloha J

Hi all, I recently found this on a trip to the Jurassic Coast at Dorset and have been intrigued by this find, i'm not an expert on fossil identification and was wondering if there was anything significant about this fossil. it strikes me as being either fossilised wood or an infilled burrow of some kind, however the shine, shape and downward strikes are leaving me somewhat puzzled. i would be grateful for all your potential ideas as to what this could be.

This was found on Venice beach FL. I know it is not a fossil but curious as to what it was. Thank you

At the Denver show last month we were lucky enough to be able to purchase a full Mosasaur Haliasaurus Arambourgi skeleton which is 80% original. Last week we assembled him on our dining room table, and we made a time lapse movie of it for your enjoyment: This setup is only temporary. We will be getting a new pedestal for him, and repainting the room to better display him. -Brian

Hello all, I already posted this topic in Paleo Re-creations, but nobody answered there. I want to make a composite skeleton from an extinct animal, but I don't know witch species I take best. I already tought about Oreodont, cave bear, bison... Do you guys know an animal whose it is possible to collect all the bones (skull is not necassary, but I would love a real skull) Keichousaur is not a good example, because I want have the fun for searching, buying and making a composite. It think mammals are the only option, because reptiles are expensive and difficult to collect all the bones, maybe alligator is possible? What do you guys think about it? Greetings

Hello! Some of you may have heard the news. The Netherlands now has it's own T. rex and it was unveiled today! This is the same T. rex that @chele and her husband found in Montana back in 2013. After that it was dug up by a team of Naturalis the natural history museum in Leiden in cooperation with the Black Hills Institute. This museum also bought the T. rex. Around 5 million euros was crowdfunded to make this possible. The skeleton was prepared in the Black Hills Institute by Pete Larson and his team. The T. rex is of the robust morph and thus probably a female. The animal has been named Trix after our former queen Beatrix. As of spetember 10th the skeleton will be viewable by the public for a time. As the museum is in the middle of a huge renovation the skeleton is temporarily housed in the only part that is open to the public now. I don't know the exact dates but the skeleton will go on tour and in 2018 the skeleton should get it's final resting place in the new dinosaur hall at the museum. The staff of the museum got a preview before the unveiling (I'm a volunteer at the fossil prep lab) so I was lucky enough that I could take some photos. So without further ado. Some pictures... I noticed that the pectoral girdle seems to be positioned really low compared to other reconstructions. Lastly a picture of one of the information panels. This shows how much of the skeleton is real. I've been told around 75% to 80% of the bone volume is present. Some more information on this T. rex. - The animal is now named Trix. After the former Dutch queen Beatrix. - Trix is in the top 3 of best preserved T. rexes. - The skeleton is of the robust morph. So it's probably female. - This is the only T. rex skeleton in the world that is mounted with the real skull. - The missing bones were 3d printed. Some mirrored versions of bones that were present. And some bones based on Sue, such as the feet. - Trix was prepped in the Black Hills Institute. - Trix is about the same size as Sue. - There are a lot of pathologies. This includes T. rex bitemarks on the jaw and broken ribs. - After this temporary exhibit and tour the skeleton will be permanently housed in the new dinosaur hall in Naturalis in Leiden. Because it's some part news, part fossil hunting trip and part museum visit I figured it best fitted being in general discussion.

Hi, We have located this fossil in our home marble floor - the marble variety is Crema Marfil (origin Spain). Is this a Trilobite?

Not a fossil, but a skeleton of an extinct and rare bird... This is the first Dodo skeleton to be sold in the past 100 years. It is compositied from bones that were aquired one at a time. 346 thousand pounds is about 400 thousand dollars, in real money. =-) https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/nov/22/rare-near-complete-dodo-skeleton-fetches-346300-pounds-auction You may already be familiar with the Dodo from the movie "Ice Age" https://www.google.com/search?q=tae-kwon-dodo&btnG=Search&hl=en&gbv=1&tbm=isch

Postcranial anatomy of arthrodira like Dunkleosteus?
Mahnmut posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello dear people, I wonder where to find information and reference-images on the postcranial skeleton of dunkleosteus or related species. You find images of their iconically armoured skulls everywhere, but not a hint of the "fishbones". Is there so little fossil record? I hope someone can give me a hint. Thanks, J -

An update on my woolly rhino skeleton composite project. I have over 80 bones now. Only the skull is a replica. All other bones are real. The bones are from the North Sea, Netherlands. This photo is from the beginning of the year. By now I also have a shoulder blade. I'm mainly still missing the hooves, many ribs and the tail vertebrae.© © Olof Moleman

So I was working on a Parasaurolophus and Dodo skull before. For my next project I've chosen Bambiraptor. It was nice to try something really small this time. Though it's quite hard to make some of the smaller details with such a soft material. Carved from foam. I'm mostly done with the skull. Just need to finish up the teeth and jaw. Parts of the appendicular skeleton so far. Stay tuned for updates.

From the album: Mammal Fossils
A project I've been working on for years. The bones are from different individuals, though all bones are from the North Sea. There are still a load of bones I need for a complete skeleton. But over the years I've come a long way. The neck is complete and I have maybe 30% of the legs and feet, hip fragments of both sides and maybe 20% of the back.© © Olof Moleman

I would like to know if it is possible to see the actual skeleton of thylacosmilus atrox. All the photographs and/or illustrations I have seen so far of this animal depict its skull. While I am aware that only two partial skeletons have been found so far, are the bones on display somewhere? And are there any photographs or illustrations of the rest of the skeleton besides the skull? I have seen numerous reconstruction of thylacosmilus in the flesh but I would like to see what the artists based their reconstructions on. I am grateful for any lead
