    Bajocian fossil

    Lincolnshire Limestone, Oolite Group, Middle Jurassic, Bajocian Im not sure what to make of this, was thinking maybe fish fragment. Particularly puzzled by the circular pattern. I've dampened it with water to help it show more clearly in the photo. Scale is mm.
  2. I've been researching again large reptiles of the Paleocene (66.0-56.0 Million Years ago) and Eocene (56.0-33.9 Million Years ago) eras recently and I've come across something interesting - the sudden emergence of giant sea snakes in the Eocene. The Paleocene did see some large snakes, including the largest known snake in the fossil record the Boa relative Titanoboa (which grew up to 12.8-14.3 m. (42-47 feet) in length). But the sudden appearance of large sea snakes like Palaeophis colossaeus (which grew up to 12.3 m. (40 feet) in length) during the Eocene perplexes me as I've been struggling to find any large (or at least fairly large) sea snakes from the Paleocene. That is except one possible contender named Vialovophis from the late Paleocene as described in a Scientific Paper from 1997. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alexander-Averianov/publication/235806050_Paleogene_Sea_Snakes_from_the_Eastern_Part_of_Tethys/links/5437db850cf2027cbb205006/Paleogene-Sea-Snakes-from-the-Eastern-Part-of-Tethys.pdf I'm just a bit curious why this? Did these sea snakes evolve such gigantic sizes only during the Eocene and why?

    Corals?

    Merhaba arkadaşlar. İngilizce bilmiyorum. Türkçe yazmak zorunda kaldım. Özür diliyorum. Bu fosiller hakkında bilgisi olan var mı. Hello guys. I do not know english. I had to write in Turkish. I apologize. Does anyone know anything about these fossils?

    Fish fosil

    I found a very beautiful fossil. like a fish fossil
  5. I noticed this fossil in the limestone at the base of the great pyramid whilst on holiday. Reading online there are quite a few Nummulites in the rock of the pyramids themselves but not much information on larger finds and unlike the quarried and transported stone of the pyramids themselves this was seemingly part of the natural giza rock forming base around the structure. Im very much an amateur at this but out of pure interest I was wondering what you all may think of it?

    Large shell fossil ID help please

    Hello, I wondered if someone can help me identify some fossils I found, please? I am completely new to fossil hunting and don’t know very much at all yet. Yesterday I found 3 beautiful shell fossils half way up a mountain called Jebel Hafeet in the desert of Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, Middle East. Is it possible you could tell me anything about them please? I know the mountain used to be under the sea millions of years ago (the ocean was called the Tethys), so I’m guessing the shells were sea shells, not land shells. They are filled with lovely clear crystals. They also have very small circular fossils on them, I have circled the fossil circles in red in one of the photographs. I have no idea what those are! The shell fossils are very heavy and are the size of my hand. (Roughly 12cm x 10cm / 5”x4” ) Any information you can give me on the shells/crystals would be much appreciated. Thank you so much. Kind regards, Caroline
