Recently purchased this squid from the Tucson show. Looked a little off to me compared to the photos online but still bought it on a whim. Does it have any significant touch-ups or fakery? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I recently got this section of fossilized squid pen of the giant squid Tusoteuthis longa, from the Cretaceous Niobrara Chalk of Kansas, USA. It measures about 7cm long. After receiving it I realized that it seemed rather unstable, with small "splinters" flaking off like a fragile piece of wood. I hear it is recommended to consolidate vertebrate bones with something like Butvar B-76, but what about something like this squid pen? I don't know what the material even is. Does anyone have experience preserving these? Thanks.

I've always been fascinated by the Cretaceous sea and its myriad of terrifying carnivores, many that would've made Jaws look meek. After watching BBC's Sea Monsters, I made it my goal to compile a box of sea monster fossils. I started this journey 10 years ago, and finally completed the box recently. Allow me to present my Predators of the Cretaceous Sea collection, and take you on a journey to the most dangerous sea of all times. The box measures 20.25 inches long. Inside are 24 unique predator fossils. I will introduce them from left to right, top to bott

Looking for information on a historic Jurassic squid fossil
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I was recently skimming through one of William Buckland's papers (in Geology and mineralogy considered with reference to natural theology). In the paper, he discussed (and illustrated) a squid fossil that had been found by Mary Anning, in the Lias/Jurassic of Lyme Regis in 1828 (see pic below). Would anyone happen to know in what museum this fossil currently is? Taken from Buckland (1837), plate 44'', fig. 1. -

Has anyone seen anything like this? Just looking for any helpful info.

I'm guessing it's a squid of some kind, but I didn't think they split diagonally? Pictures to come.

Thought I would share this new piece we just got. Belemnite is fossilised squid over 100 million years from Coober Pedy, South Australia. Photos:

I just got an awesome coprolite. I generally hate those things, and would never pay money for one, but I came across this one and it has so many visible identifiable remains, I couldn't help being really impressed. Ive always wanted to see a coprolite that had clear remains in it. Sadly they're much smaller and harder to see in person than in these pictures, so I can only use these display pictures for the time being, until I take a magnified look. There's clearly fish scales, seemingly from different types of fish, and apparently squid hooks and such. I'm excited to find a good illuminated ma

I found this yesterday in my searches at the Montour fossil pit in Danville pa. I think it is a squid but wouldn’t mind help identifying it. The third picture is the opposite side of the rock. Thanks everyone!

From the album: Marine reptiles and mammals
Cross sections of the stomach, full of squid/cephalopod hooks and beaks, of an early Jurassic ichthyosaur (Stenopterygius quadriscissus). One slice has the animals ribs, the lighter tan objects, around the stomach, while the other is entirely of the stomach contents. -

Does anyone have, or have seen, small marine reptile's stomach contents? I'm specifying small because what I'm wondering about is of those that eat primarily and mostly squid. Ive been trying to find pictures, but I can't find anything thats close-up enough to see any details at all. Just like from a full picture of a full-body ichthy plate, which is way too far out to see the apparently stomach contents. *i don't mean corprolites, but actual impressions of the stomach contents

This is a very recent find from the Cahaba River Valley. One person on the Facebook page identified this as a belemnite. Is this the general consensus? To my knowledge I have never seen one. I have a regular paper clip for size reference.

A few Belemnites I found. I am quite proud of the large piece even though it is not complete. -

This is a Belemnite I found in Holzmaden, almost complete but missing the tip. I have not prepared it yet but quite a nice little fossil. -
Hi folks. Been scratching my head over these for years now. Can find nothing similar through searching the web. A museum in Berkeley Springs, WV has loosely similar and call it squid, but not really close in appearance. The end of these are almost perfect taper and radiussed end, almost like machined. Some have a small stipple dead center on the rounded end. Some have shallow grooves but some (most) are as smooth as glass. A local suggested they were filled holes left by worms of sorts. Thanks for your time and attention. Regards, Rocky

Hi all, a friend recently offered an interesting fossil to me - an octopus from Lebanon. Now, as some of you might know - Lebanon does have octopus fossils, though they are very rare. This fella here doesn't look outright fake at first glance, but I don't know if he's real either. I don't know many Lebanese experts, but when I showed it to two, here's what I was told. Expert A - It's real, but the tentacles are painted Expert B - It's just a squid painted to look like an octopus Now, painted tentacles is annoying, but at least it would be a -
Acanthoteuthis speciosa Wagner in Muenster, 1839
oilshale posted a fossil in Coleoids (Belemnites, Squid)
Acanthoteuthis is now considered as a member of the Belemnotheutida, a suborder of the Belemnitida. The ink sack suggests that this species lived not deeper than 200m. References: Dirk Fuchs, Sigurd von Boletzky and Helmut Tischlinger (2010): New evidence of functional suckers in belemnoid coleoids (Cephalopoda) weakens support for the 'Neocoleoidea' concept.
