So I found this little thing last year, and haven’t been able to identify it. It was found in Sweden in a limestone quarry most finds are from the Creataous, local fossil hunters couldn’t id it ether, but some guesses was that it might be a scale or part of an octopus mouth. Thanks for any help! Eric

Sweden Marine Reptile Vertebra - Kristianstad Basin; Scanisaurus (?)
Kikokuryu posted a topic in Fossil ID
There wasn't a huge amount of information to go off of from what I found, so I was wondering if anyone here could help who is familiar with this material. I was not sure if the label and ID provided for this specimen was accurate or not, and the color doesn't seem to match up with the few specimens I've seen online which are more of a lighter brown to tan. Scanisaurus is maybe just used as a wastebasket term for most of what comes out of the deposit? Species: Scanisaurus nazarowi Age: Cretaceous, Campanian Formation: Kristianstad Basin Provenance: Northwest Skåne Province, Southern Sweden Just looking at the wiki, for plesiosaurids, there's Scanisaurus, cf. Elasmosaurus, and indeterminate polycotylids. Measurement is in centimeters.- 7 replies

A rangeomorph holdfast trace fossil from the Ediacara formation, Rawnsley quartzite of the Flinders Range, South Australia. This specimen is Medusina mawsoni, so called because it was until recently thought to be a jellyfish, but is now believed to be the attachment point of a fractal rangeomorph as Charniodiscus is the point of anchorage for Charnia sp. This one may have been the holdfast point for some species of Rangea. The diameter of the outer circle is 1.5 cm and the fossil is estimated to be 555 million years old.

Hi, Can someone please help me identifying this little fossil? This is the info I have about it: Size: 16mm Location: Närke-län, Sweden Age: Middle Cambrian Additionally, there are some other elements in the plate and I was wondering if they are of any significance or if they can be identified (attached close-up images of them as well). Thanks in advance.

Hi, We found this on the beach in Southern Sweden (Skanör). The whole stone is about 35X20mm, the fossil part about 12mm long. I'm guessing it's an imprint of something? I'm a total newbie in fossil identification, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello there adventurers. I found this quite a while back in the woods of northern Sweden. Pretty high up in altitude and not near any water. I know nothing about this type of stuff but I was interested to find out what it is. All I can really say about it is that it is a shell. I guess it’s pretty hard to determine how old it is or what it is but I thought I’d share anyway. Hope somebody can help!

Hello. I found this strange fossil a couple of weeks ago and I cant figure out what it might be, my guess is a part of some sort of coral or sponge. It was found in the eastern part of the Siljan ring formation in Sweden, the layer is possibly silurian or ordovician. Any clue as to what it might be?

At the end of August this year I travelled to Larvik in southern Norway to visit "Norges stein og mineralmesse". On my drive from Nässjö in Småland to Strömstad in Bohuslän i took a short detour to visit Taberg. Taberg is a huge iron ore mountain consisting of Titanomagnetite-Ovlivinite which is only found in Taberg, Sweden and Rhode island, U.S.A. The ore body was created 1.2 billion years ago and has survived both a number of ice ages as well as several attempts of mining. Today the mountain is protected by law and during winter the old mine shafts house hundreds of bats. Being Smålands fifth highest peak it makes for a great view of lake Vättern. Further up north I made a short stop at Femstenaberg. This rest area is found just before the exit to Skee and is only accessible if travelling north on the E6 towards Oslo. Right next to the toilets are the subfossil remains of a Balaena mysticetus that was found 72 metres above today's sea level, during the construction of the new E6 highway. The remains are dated through the C14 method to be around 14000 years old. Subfossil vertebrates are quite rare in Sweden, as far as i know you won't find one exhibited outside of a museum anywhere in Sweden except here. As the day was nearing its end I took the ferry from Strömstad to Sandefjord and got to enjoy the sun setting over the Oslo fields Syenites and Monzonites.

This is my sea urchin collection, most of them are in pretty bad shape, but I would appreciate if anyone know what type they might be? And if you believe that the one with stripes has been scratched or attacked while alive? thank you! And thanks for your patience with newbies like me! You guys are the best!

Hello. Needing help to ID this strange fossil. Found in a quarry i Scania, southern Sweden. Lowermost lower campanian. Sandy biocalcarenites. Nearshore enviroment. The quarry have produced a number of rare, still unidentified fossils both marine and terrestrial. Findings of mosasaurs, marine crocodylomorphs, aquatic birds, flying reptiles, bony fishes, sharks and also neaceratopsian dinosaurs have been made in the quarry. I have sent pictures of this fossil to a local expert at Lunds University but it´s still unidentified. The brown bone seems to end in a hard white beak but on both sides there are also a sharp thin triangular dark brown "tooth" somewhat like the side cusps on a shark tooth. The left one is missing. Greatful for any help

Hello, I am new to this community and fossils/bone identification in general. Hope you can help me with identifying a part of the skull I recently found (or at least I think it is a part of the skull). I found the bone recently (May 2022) close to a beach in Malmö, Sweden while cleaning up the beach with my colleagues. I would like to make a nice display stand for it, and I'd like to have something other than "Unknown Species" on a tag. I suspect what I see here are the eyeholes and the nose on a skull bone. First I thought it was a bird of some kind, or some other reptile. But looking at skull pictures online, I cannot recognize anything. Maybe a fish, since it was found close to the beach? I suspect it's impossible to find out the exact species, but at least the genus or the family would be nice. Cheers, Nikola

Found this bone of what I think is a jaw from a fish. Åsen locality Scania Sweden. Upper lower Campanian. Nearshore/deltaic enviroment. Greensand. Bone is 6 cm long and has a row of small "sockets" for teeth? Fish teeth found on the location is Enchodus, Protosphyraena, Pachyrhizodus... other finds include Tylosaurus, Clidastes, sharks, rays, turtles and chimaerids. Happy for any help on ID.

Hello! This topic will show my personal finds from the Ignaberga Quarry, Sweden. Ignaberga is a quarry in Skåne County, Sweden. It is in the Kristianstad Basin. The age is Upper Cretaceous. Santonian to Maastrichtian. But most of the outcrops are Lower Campanian in age. The environment was a warm to subtropical shallow inland sea with an archipelago and small Peninsulas. I will be updating this thread with pictures of my finds. Enjoy & regards - Adriano

What i know of there is three supposed megalodon teeth found at two different occasions at two different locations in sweden. The first one that i came to know of was when i visited the museum of natural history in gothenburg. In one of the exhibitions i found this some years ago. Roughly translated the label tells that it was found during ploughing of a meadow at Bellskar Nordgard near Backa church, Hisingen. I was quite confused and mailed the museum asking for more information. They asked for a photo of the tooth and after i had sent it they never got back to me with any answer. The fog thickened one day when i came across these in the collections of jonkopings museum: https://digitaltmuseum.se/021028254584/fossil These two were found during construction of a house in Anderstorp, Smaland. They were found separated from each other by 70-80cm at a depth of 95cm. The stratigraphy was made up of 25cm sand followed by a layer of clay. They are both around 10cm wide and 12cm long. The Swedish museum of natural history in Stockholm acknowledges that the find is suspicious based on the location. My conclusion was at first that they were bought and "found" in means for attention. But then again we don't get any information as to when they were found. The ones in Anderstorp were donated in the 70's but they could have been laying around in box for decades before that for all we know. Another idea i had was that they might have been thrown out of a "cabinet of curiosities" but then they shouldn't have been buried in 1m of sediments. As the one in Hisingen was unearthed during ploughing it might have been buried as deep as 30cm. My last idea at the time was that maybe somehow they were transported there in glacial sediments from Gram in Dennmark? Today when writing this post i think i finally stumbled upon the answer to their origins. Jan Johanssons mentions in short the Anderstorp findings as probable "Florida manure" on his website "sveriges fossilmuseum". What this means is not explained, but i guess manure was imported at some point and it contained these teeth and probably other fossils as well by accident. If this manure was used in more locations i would bet that there's more fossils to be found. That's unless they've already been destroyed by ploughs. If there's anyone who know more about this "Florida manure" I would love to learn more.
