Hello all. I was wondering if anyone would perhaps known enough about graptolites to possibly be able to tell me a little bit more about the specimen pictured (if the picture allows, what species perhaps)? I found it years ago when collecting fossils on Manitoulin Island (about 1.30h from where I live in Northern Ontario) if this helps at all.

Any website that shows every species from a location?
Jurassicz1 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Im not sure if this is the right topic to post this. I was at some locations yesterday and a guy had some kind of app/website that showed species from that location. I forgot to ask him the name of it. The location was ignaberga sweden. It had all the kinds of species listed there. Maybe someone knows the website or some website like that? -

I would like to make a entry to the collections data base and have been working on the different tags. I’m having trouble with genus and species. My geology maps say Silurian, I have narrowed it down to the Ludlum period, and believe extinction may have occurred during the Mulde event (an anoxic event) First time attempting to do this, any help at all will be appreciated.

Is it generally impossible to distinguish different croc species, even from just half a dozen from a certain location, by most individual bones, like humerus’/arm/leg bones, and individual verts? I know experts can definitely do so if they have the bone in-hand, and proper tools, but in THIS situation, through just pics, there’s not much that can be done unless there’s something that stands out, like unusually large size or something, is there?

Two Daspletosaurus species present in the Judith River Formation?
dinosaur man posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi I heard there are two Judith River Formation Daspletosaur species, an earlier one and older, is this true? Because the Daspletosaurus specimen Sir William being an older species from 79 to 77.5 mya and possibly D.torosus, D.honeri or another new species being the younger Daspletosaur species from 77.5 to 75 mya. Or is it just one Daspletosaurus in the Formation?- 6 replies

I bought this large semi disarticulated thysanopeltis trilobite on a bit of a whim. It arrived today and overall I'm quite pleased. I'm wondering if anyone can help point me to a species or can comment on the level of restoration. I believe the majority of the spines on (its) right hand side of the pydium are carved and painted. There's probably more restoration elsewhere (I expected as much when I bought it) but it's hard to tell. Any other opinions would be appreciated. Unfortunately I don't have any locality information, and as it was labeled as a cornuproetus I doubt the seller knows too much about it either.

Hi I found this and am wondering is this a new species of tyrannosaur I don’t think it’s albertosaurus libratus because it is in a collection with gorgosaurus libratus and albertosaurus sarcophagcus so if it was albertosaurus libratus there would not be any specimens named gorgosaurus libratus there are other specimens then just this tooth too any information? Thanks.

What species of Tyrannosaur did this tooth replica come from?
dinosaur man posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi I found this with the rest of my fossil replicas and was wondering if it could be a Rex tooth or another type of Tyrannosaur tooth. I don’t know if I can post this here or get an ID on it since it’s a replica but I got it at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Canada it’s a replica of one of there specimens. And I just wanted to know what it could be since it seemed strange to me on how skinny and long it is, Thank you!! -

Hi all, So the Cerastoderma genus has (in addition to a few other fossil species) two extant species: C. edule (common cockle0 and C. glaucum (lagoon cockle). Both of these species appear (both fossil and modern) here in the North Sea, and their Eemian fossils are common finds at the Zandmotor. Now I have always been told, and read in most of my books, that the difference between them is that: -> if you draw a vertical line from the umbo downwards, C. edule is pretty much symmetrical while C. glaucum will have one side more stretched out. As can be seen in the picture above. Pretty straightforward. Plus, this is what I explained in one of my old Instagram posts: But, while searching a bit around, I just now saw on the Wikipedia website a picture of a symmetrical cockle that they claim is C. glaucum. And WoRMS also has some pictures of some more or less symmetrical cockles for the lagoon cockle! So I am very confused... What is the difference then between the two species? Looking forward to your answers! Best regards, Max

Hey! This might be the wrong thread/topic but here it goes. I recently started collecting different species of trilobites. It would have been interesting to see what species others have collected and whether you can refer to some species in a medium price range that is worth collecting. I have a desire to compile a list for myself with different species that I can follow. Someone who has / knows about fine trilobites that are worth collecting? These are the species I have collected so far: - Flexicalymene sp (morocco) - Flexicalymene retrorsa - Coltraneia oufatensis - Hollardops mesocristata - Hollardops sp. - Ductina vietnamica - Elrathia kingi - Different phacops sp. - andalusiana cambropallas - Some unidentified species (will be posting pictures, some of you probably know) Thanks!

Hello, I found this tooth on a beach in New Zealand (north island) in 2006. I am wondering what it is from? It is about 10cm long by 6 cm wide (at top), and all white as can be seen.
