Hi all, I'm totally new to the forum, and going on a two week trip to South-Eastern Spain tomorrow, Valencia and Murcia region mainly. When I was younger we used to go fossil hunting, and I want to try to pick it up again during this trip. I read a bit about it, and found a geological map of the region. I think that's a good start right? I'm also taking some basic tools and rented a car. Do any of you have any tips for a beginner like me? Or maybe have experience in this region and/or know people there with experience? Or maybe, based on the map, you have a recommended area to go to? Cheers, Steven

My sun found this in the mountains, in Aragon, Spain on a mountain by accidence, while playing. It looks like a little bird, we can see a print of little feathers. But the skeleton doesn't really look like the ones we found online. Who can help us? We are curieus.

Hello everyone, I recently received a lot of 3 brachiopods from Spain. Here they are with their original labels that they were listed with and that I received them with: The issue is that when I began to do a bit more research on these species, specifically Hexarhytis the paper that comes up shows and describes a completely different brachiopod. Looking up the other Athyrid the results I got were much closer but still not exactly like the brachiopod I have, but since I got more results for this search I could now do a bit of looking into the closely related taxa which I was sure would help me find a match. Currently, after that bit of reading I think that the larger brachiopod may be Plicathyris collensis while the smaller one looks more like Anathryis ferronensis to me. Does anyone know if these IDs would be accurate? Are there any papers I could read to better familiarize myself with these species? I wasn't able to find much online but this is the best I could come up with so far. Additionally, does anyone know how I could identify the species of orthid that is on the left? Researching the other two made me suspicious about the ID for this brachiopod too, it seems that the formation is accurate for this species but there are other orthids present there and I am not sure how to distinguish between them. I will attach more pictures of all of them below. The one I believe is actually Plicarthys: What I believe is Anathyris: Orthid labelled as Rhipidomella cervantesi: Thank you!

A new genus of Troodontid has been described from late Maastrichtian fluvial deposits of Spain's Talarn formation (Tremp Group). It was named Tammaro insperatus named for a small, elusive creature from local folklore and the latin word for unexpected due to where it was found. Very interesting to see this family of dinosaurs officially represented in Europe's fossil record, along with the overall diversity on the continent when it was still archipelagic. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-83745-5 http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/tamarro-insperatus-09426.html Holotype metatarsal II http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/enlarge8/image_9426_2e-Tamarro-insperatus.jpg Artist's reconstruction (Oscar Sanisidro): http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/2021/03/image_9426_1-Tamarro-insperatus.jpg

Hi everyone. I recently visited a quarry at the north of Spain (more specifically a geographical area called "El Bierzo", famous for its fossils from the carboniferous era) and I found the following ones. I think I have identified most of them but I would like to know your opinion. Thank you very much!

Hi, This is my first post, so I hope I follow all the guidelines... If not, please let me know! This stone was found recently in North Spain, in Leon, near the village of La Magdalena. It was in the top of a mountain, surrounded by marine fossils. I have no idea if it is a stone or a fossil but it is a very weird stone. If you have any idea of what it could be, just let me know! Thank you.

Hi again! I see this tooth and I will try to get it. The owner told me that It’s from Riodeva, Teruel (Spain) I read some articles and the id seems correct... What do you think? I read too that spanish fossils are forbidden, Can I have any problem? Thanks!

Hi! While looking around the steps outside Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum, I came across this which looks a lot like the cross section of a bone?? Unfortunately I have no information as to where this rock was quarried, so I don't know how old it is... I'm attaching another photo to show the other kind of fossils that can be seen on the steps. I assumed they were some kind of marine creatures (rudists maybe, which I'm used to seeing in other parts of the city, in a different type of rock), which is why a bone seems a bit crazy. It would be nice to know what you guys make of it! :-) Thanks!! Elizabeth

Hello Everyone! I am new to this whole fossil identification ordeal. I was wondering if I could respectfully utilize this communities' expertise to decipher what species of shark teeth I have from the attached picture? I collected these shark teeth during multiple low tides over a stretch of 100 yards in a remote beach in Southern Spain. If I am not mistaken, from my novice research, it looks like I have some broken Megalodon and Carcharadon Hastalis teeth? Is there any other species that y'all can identify from the picture? Any insight is greatly appreciated, thank you all in advance! I have an off centered U.S. quarter placed in the picture as a size reference.

Hi!! Two mystery fossils on a wall in San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain). Other fossils in the same rock are Neridea. In the first photo, I wonder about the little "cells" that can be seen. Is this coral or something?? Looks different from other corals I've seen, and the shape is so strange! The second photo is a large shell? A rudist? A gastropod? Thanks for your help!!! :-) Elizabeth

Hi! First time posting! :-) I've been hunting around for "urban fossils" in my city. I'm really used to seeing rudists everywhere, and whenever I come across anything else (like a piece of coral or a gastropod) I get excited. Today I saw something I had supposed was a gastropod shell section (now I'm not so sure), but it has a peculiar design, and I wonder if anyone can tell me what this design is. It seems to be some kind of internal structure in the shell? I'm attaching two photos of a close up of two different specimens and then a broader picture of another part of the slab, in case anything else in there might give people hints. The photos were taken in Donostia, Spain. I can't really say where the rock was quarried, but I guess somewhere in Spain? I'd love to hear your take on it! (Both on the "internal structure" and what kind of creature this might be) Thanks :-) Elizabeth

Dear TFF-members, Can anyone help me identify the fossils in the photographs below? I have trouble identifying the concentric patterns that are visible on these (apparently hollow?) shell-like fragments. They were found in the Pyrenees, Spain. The formation in which they were found is Mesozoic in age, most likely Jurassic. Note these are outcrop photographs, so I cannot make additional images to aid identification, unfortunately. Thanks for any feedback you may be able to provide. Kind regards, Tim

Spanish dinosaur eggshells?

Good afternoon folks. I have a crab (Zanthopsis dufouri) from Spain that I've been prepping/detailing and came across something in it's claw. I am wondering if anyone can tell me if it was the crab's last meal or something I should remove? The crab still has one eye and one antenna so I'm thinking it's possible it could have been eating when it was covered. Comments are appreciated.
