Below are some of the slabs/slices/limb casts of petrified wood from my collection. I'll post more pieces in latter replies. I especially like very colorful pieces and unusual pieces like Teredo bored pieces or pieces with fungus. I have hundreds of close-up pictures. If you would like to see close-up pictures of a particular piece, reply to this post with the number/numbers. If you want to see close-up pictures of some of the petrified wood pieces from this thread, check out my TFF thread at the below link: 1 Petrified Wood botryoidal agate go

Hi everybody! This my dinosaur collection. This is my Hell Creek and Judith River shelf. It's a bit empty but I'm working on getting more fossils. I also have a replica Triceratops skull that I had 3-d printed. This is my tyrannosaur tooth fragment from the Hell Creek fm of Harding County SD. I'd gotten a bag of micro-matrix from hell creek and I got some ossified tendon fragments A partial Pachycephalosaurus? caudal vertebra from Harding County SD A jaw fragment from an indeter

Proposed model laws to restrict fossil collecting on private land in the US
DPS Ammonite posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
A recent article by US law student, Bridget Roddy, published in a Texas A and M law journal proposes model laws severely controlling fossil collecting on private land in the US. Be on the lookout for states trying to implement these or similar laws. Aside, a good way to read articles is to read the abstract/introduction and summary/conclusion first, then look at the rest. On page 505, she says, “This model law would (1) vest all paleontological resources on state-owned land to the state; (2) allow the state the opportunity to take possession of fossils found on private-

Hi everyone, first post here after a trip to the Outerbanks (Corolla), North Carolina US. Found washed up on the beach, approx. 11 cm long. I can’t find anything here on this forum or various googling that looks exactly like this. Based on what I’ve seen as a total newbie, I’m thinking either coral or worm colony or sponge - your thoughts are very much appreciated!

...especially Europe - North America. I read very often here on the forum about the high costs of sending parcels from the US to Europe. I am very interested in the real price of that. In the different direction, the price for sending parcels, for example, from Austria to North America is: Up to 2 kg: Euro 25.29,- Up to 4 kg: Euro 37.64,- Up to 10 kg: Euro 71.64,- These are the prices of the federal postal service (www.post.at). At the moment, you have to multiply the Euro with about 1.13 to get the price in USD. Would someone

Where in the US can one find shark teeth that predate the cretaceous?
TRexEliot posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I'd really like to put together a collection of shark teeth of my own finds from as many geological periods as possible. It seems that it is pretty hard to find older teeth, however, so I am hoping people here might be able to point me towards some locations where I might be able to find jurassic, triassic, permian, or even carboniferous shark teeth. Not asking for anyone's secret spot, but general areas/formations would be great to know about. Thanks in advance! -
Hi everyone! I found these at the Big Brook Preserve in Colts Neck, NJ in May of 2020. This was my first fossil hunt so I'm pretty sure I was at the wrong exact location but I was nearby. I found them directly in the creek and had to use a sifter. This was also after a rainstorm. I'm not sure if anything here is a fossil, but I figured I'd ask the experts! Please let me know if you want closer pictures or other angles of any of them. Thanks for taking a look! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Ok so to start off with this, I’m going to post my finds from a recent trip to the outer banks of North Carolina. I was very disappointed to be going to this location at first, because I had no idea of its fossil significance. I wanted to go further down south where the sharks teeth get huge, but the cases further down for Covid 19 were very high and I didn’t want to risk catching the virus so the whole group (who were all my neighbors) decided to head here instead. The first day on the beach, I found a lot of fish fossils (including those vertebrae’s) but it was the second day that was the be

Greetings everyone! I'm hoping someone might be able to help ID something that is not in the best of condition/shape. It's quite unusual from what I typically see/find here in Eastern NC - at first I was thinking the root of a whale tooth but it's not like any I've seen/found myself before. So, I'm hoping someone might be able to give direction if this is a tooth root or maybe even a small tusk root, possibly? There is only a tiny bit of enamel present on the tip where the tooth would be and the texture on the "inside" is somewhat similar looking to what I'd see in whale or maybe even a sliv

juvenile triceratops pelvic bone???
Compy posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello again, while looking for more preserved dinosaurian remains I found this: It is from a bequest/inheritance so little is known by the family selling it except that it was bought at an auction in the US and properly declared to customs. It was told to be a pelvic bone of a juvenile triceratops. It measures roughly length: 25cm, width: 18cm, width: 8 cm and the weight is roundabout 2.5 kg. If it is a real pelvic bone to me it looks very worn or in a bad shape. What puzzles me is the black part of rock you can see in the bottom right corner of some pictures... -

Hello everybody, I'm looking for the official excerpts of laws that stipulate that a fossil found on a private land in USA is the property of the landowner who can legally keep it, sell it or export it. Do you know where can I find these documents ? If I'm right, the fossils found in US are not considered as cultural heritage. It that right ? Thanks for your help, BR, Yann

Hi sometime later this year I will be going out West in Alberta, B.C and Saskatchewan. And I will be going down to Montana for 2 days to collect fossils since I can’t really do that in Alberta. I am wondering would I be able to bring those fossils into Alberta and then fly with them, and take them back to Ontario? Thank you!!

Hey! I have kind of an odd question. I am purchasing a fossil for a friend as a birthday gift -- between a tip of a mammoth tusk, or a section of mosasaur jaw with teeth. What makes this unique, however, is that we are traveling to the British Virgin Islands (from the United States) for said birthday and I would like to be able to gift the fossil on the birthday instead of waiting until she returns home as we live in different states and I would only be able to ship it to her house and not be there. I am concerned, however, about bringing the fossils with me on the trip as I have

So I have a kind of big problem and really hope anyone from the US can help me with that. I've ordered some fossils form an US onlineshop. It's a big online shop from Washington I'm pritty sure everyone knows. It's selling fossils worth thousands of dollars and has daily updates with fossil from all over the world. I won't name it, because I don't know if this is allowed, even though I don't blame the shop in any way. If you want the name -> PM me. I already ordered two times at this shop. Shipping to Germany was no problem and the package arrived as planed. Ve

Looking for Living Fossils for summer camp
I_gotta_rock posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
I'm running a paleontology camp this summer in Delaware. We can' actually do much digging because there are no fossils at the camp site. We do, however, have living fossils around that the kids can meet. I'd like to introduce the kids to the living fossils and show them the evidence of their ancient ancestors. We have snapping turtles (common and alligator), an alligator, horseshoe crabs, access to ginkgo leaves and magnolia, pileated woodpeckers aplenty, and triops kits are easy to come by online. Anybody have any fossils of these that they could part with? I have mostly marine fossils I can -
I think we have all seen the crabby beauties that @RJB and @Doctor Mud have revealed from their Stony Concretion prisons. Now I want to get in on that action, but I don't (currently) have a passport for a trip to NZ. Any sites in the US anyone knows of?
