    Vertebra Fossil from Maryland

    Hello! I found this fossil vertebra on the Potomac River in Maryland. Can anyone identify what animal it’s from? Thanks! FullSizeRender.MOV

    Sacrum vert - Peace River

    Hey everyone! Found this sacrum vertebra last weekend. It measures 4.3 inches/109mm x 2.5 inches/63mm. I know it’s mammalian, I know it’s a sacrum vert, and I know it’s from a somewhat larger animal, but that’s about it. Any further direction or IDs would be awesome! @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis @Brandy Cole

    Vertebra--Bison or Equus?

    I found what I believe to be a lumbar vertebra, and I'm having trouble finding good comparison examples between equus and bison. I think those are my two most likely candidates. Do equus lumbar vertebrae have the foramen that I've circled in red below?
  5. Hello, I purchased a beluga whale vertebra fossil as a gift and I am trying to figure out the best way to display it. I want to put it in a cloche but I would like to secure it to the base somehow if possible. I found an example of one on display on what looks like a brass rod (picture attached) and I like the look of this however I have some questions about how to do this: - What is the best way to drill into a fossil like this? - What is the best way/adhesive to affix the fossil to the rod to ensure it is secure? - Is there a lot of risk of breaking the fossil in doing this? - Is there any alternative/less damaging way to have it "floating" in the cloche like this? Alternatively, the vertebrae stands fairly well on its own and I could have it just sitting on the base. However, I would still like to secure it somehow if I go with that, is there a recommended way to do this? I'm open to all feedback and suggestions on the best way to display this in the cloche, I'm sure there are things I haven't thought of or just don't know about. I have included pictures of the vertebra sitting up, what the bottom looks like, and laying down so you can see the size. Thank you so much for your help!
  6. I was finally able to take a trip to the NSR in 2023. We had a good 11 foot rise so I was optimistic. My whole goal this trip was to find a point, I couldn't find one to save my life, I however did find a few cool fossils. I don't know if i just don't have the eye for it or if i am just looking in the wrong places. The last two pictures are of an item im not sure about anyone have an idea? Possibly a set of fused vertebrae with the two end ones broken off? The haul The vert The mosasaur thing The in-situ And the I don't know what this is

    Some New Acquisitions

    It's been a long time, since I have posted anything. I'll try to contribute, now. Best pictures I can get with a cheap phone, and not being able to be very still, myself. I took many duplicate photos. Sorry. I acquired these 6 fossils today. The Theropod tooth has visible serrations, when viewed with a common magnifying glass.
  8. Saw this indet. vertebra with fused armor plate for sale and would like to know what it's from, is it crocodile or maybe turtle? Never seen anything like this before, is this common? Location: Kem Kem, Morocco Size: 7,5 cm (2.95")

    Plesiosaurus vertebra ID?

    This Plesiosaurus vertebra is coming my way soon and I was wondering if anyone can ID whether it's cervical/dorsal/caudal? Also I would like to know what the two 'holes' are on the underside of the centrum, I can't remember seeing that in other vertebrae. Locality: Morocco, Oued Zem, Phosphate mine Size: 150 x 110 x 82 mm (5.9 x 4.33 x 3.22 inch) Weight: 528 gr (18.63 oz)

    ID/info please!

    I thought it was a pen cap when I saw it found at peace river. I know it’s a vert, but could you please help me learn which animal it came from? The condition is the best I’ve seen.
  12. Just purchased this partial vertebra. It's described as a dorsal vertebra probably belonging to a Carcharodontosaurid or maybe an Abelisaurid. Location: Taouz, South Morocco Geological Formation: Ifezouane Fm Age: Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian stage Size: 18cm I know it's probably hard to ID exactly since it's not complete, but any opinions?

    Show Us Your Hypurals!

    When I saw a fish hypural for the first time, I didn't think it was real. But, now, these obscure bones are better known. Who here has a fish hypural to show us? Here's one: "The bony structure (often fan-shaped) that chiefly is composed of the expanded, flattened and partially fused hemal spines (ventral extensions of the vertebrae), and that supports the caudal-fin rays in most bony fishes; when counting vertebrae, this composite element is treated as a single vertebra and included in the count. Amia has 10 hypurals, Salmo 7 but in most teleosts the number is reduced or fused into a single structure, a urostyle."

    Vertebra identification please!

    Here is a vertebra from my small collection. Again, it belonged to a fossil collector here in the UK but I don't know anything other than that. All I've been told is that it is a C2 vertebra but I'd love to know what it belonged to. Many thanks!

    Eotyrannus?

    Hi all, Does this vert from the Isle of Wight look like Eotyrannus? Thanks,
  18. While walking though a wash after a heavy monsoon flood, I recently came across this bone sticking halfway out of the sand. I live in southern Arizona and heavy seasonal rains carry tons of debris from the mountaintops, all the way down through the city. I obviously have not cleaned it up, as it still has some fibers stuck to it. It is very weighty and quite large. I'm guessing it's maybe a cow vertebra, but honestly I have no idea. Also, I cannot get over how it resembles a really cute smiling face with spiky hair span widgetspan widget

    Plesiosaur or fish vertebra? SD

    4 inches diameter. Probably from Pierre shale or niobrara formation. not mine. Thanks!
  20. I found this yesterday beachcombing At Otter crest, just after high tide " King Tides" This Beach is between depoe Bay and Newport Oregon.. I also found 8 agatised gastropods and 2 agatised mollusk's.. but my question is what this belonged to?.. I'm sorry I only had a centimeter or inch to measure with... So I chose the centimeter.. the closest thing I can find online seems to be a Vertebra.. it is completely mineralized and in the light glitters like Crystal. I rock hound quite a bit, but this is out of my privy... Lol can anybody give me more information?
  21. Recently went to Melbourne to go snorkelling for whale and Meg teeth and came home with some not bad specimens and saw some quite large vertebrae

    Texas vertebra - from what?

    Found this vertebra today...I think it's a thoracic vertebra. Not sure which one. It's pretty beat up....fragile as heck. Reminds me exactly like the camel (camelid) leg bone I had found that was the same color and was very brittle. Leveled out this has a pretty decent angle. Glad to see the spinous process mostly there but this vertebra is missing probably all the important key identifiers. It's about an inch and a quarter at it's widest on the spinous process...it has a significant groove or notch at the base of it...also there is a facet on the left of where the spinal canal is but I don't see much of where a body would be to it. Seems to be another facet underneath same side. Anyway.. would appreciate your thoughts. Please please please let it not be horse again.

    Phytosauridae?

    Hello everyone. There is such a vertebra in my old collection. The label is "Phytosauridae".The information is only:Bull Canyon Formation,New Mexico,USA Is it Phytosauridae ? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
  24. Picked these up at tidmoor point near weymouth convinced they were vertebra under torch light, now I'm thinking they might be stones.. both convex on one side and rough to the touch. Smaller (first) is about 20mm across, larger is about 50mm. Thanks for looking.
