Searching through some matrix I found this partial vertebra. Wish it was a bit more complete but maybe next one. This was found in marine sediment from near Richmond in Central Queensland Australia. It is from the Toolebuc formation witch is Cretaceous Albian about 98 - 100 million years old The longest length dimension is 6.5 millimetres so the animal it comes from must have been huge Also interested in where on spine this would have been situated if sufficient information can be gleaned for this partial. Thanks in advance for all input. Mike

Weird question i know, but i found this large coprolite from a Cretaceous inland sea site near Richmond in QLD, Australia and it is by far the largest single coprolite i have collected.

While sieving through some matrix I came across this unusual tooth The tooth is from the cretaceous, albian, marine matrix from the toolebuc formation in central Queensland Australia. at 10 mm long it is not very big but there are striations on both flat sides, making it unusual compared to the normal fish teeth that are abundant. The edge on one side appears to be slightly rounded and the other that is chipped is quite acute. Thankful for any leads Mike D'Arcy

Finally got out for a bit of a fossicking trip to Richmond in central Queensland, did not bring much back home but overall a good trip. I went out to get more matrix from the hole where I have found some Mesozoic bird fossils and drop off to the museum the couple of fragments found while sieving through last trips matrix. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-19/dinosaur-bird-found-in-outback-queensland/8453740?pfmredir=sm Saturday 22 April 2017 - Day 1: Drove 5 hours out to Richmond and after a quick lunch went out to the quarry and went to the spot where I had found 30 odd Ichthyosaur
