Is this fossil fake?
KentrosaurusGeek posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey guys, I bought some things from a rock and fossil store recently. This bone was said to be a plesiosaur vertebrae but I’m having trouble figuring out if it’s a fake! I noticed some bone pores and matrix and it is heavy. If it is fake, I’m suspecting a cast? -
I finally took a trip to the North Sulphur river last week. There have been a couple good rains so I was hoping that would uncover some stuff. The last couple of trips in 2021 were terrible. All muddy and picked over. This trip was still pretty muddy and little in terms of quality mosasaur material. However I went low and found a lot of smaller material. I wonder if the recent muddyness of the river is due to the lake construction or if the river just hasn't had enough rain lately? Is picture 2 an enchodus jaw? I believe the pictures of item 3 are of a really chipped pi

I just took my friends out for a fossil trip their first time yesterday; where we could all get together and do something cool and introduce them to the fun pastime and interesting research I dabble in for my birthday. I should’ve known he’d have beginners luck but I was not expecting this find when he plucked it out from the water. They all had a blast and it was a beautiful day. Any and all input into trying to discern what creature it could’ve came from? The more the merrier! A couple other angles

Hii, I've received a bunch of fossils from my friend in USA. These fossils were all bought in a store (New York area). I understand this makes it harder to identify, but maybe one of you intelligent human beings are still able to figure it out haha This was sold as a shark vertebrae and it measures 30x30x10 (mm). Does anyone know which kind of shark it belonged to and which time period / era it's from? Thanks in advance!

How do you distinguish different vertebrae? What are the characteristics of sea creatures vs land animals? Then when a land animal what are the distinguishing features between them? Are there specific things to look at or for when trying to ID them? What is the characteristics you look for when figuring whale or mastodon/mammoth? What are the specific characteristics you look for when differentiating deer, horse, sloth, bison? And so on... thank you so much for the input here

Hi! I'm new here but not new to fossils. I have a rather large collection that I acquired over the years with my late husband. He was quite knowledgeable about the details of our collection which we shared in a mobile fossil program in the local schools and community. If y'all wouldn't mind, I could really use some expertise in identifying some of the obscure specimens in our collection. I'll start with these Vertebrae

Hi all, I was recently at Myrtle Beach and collected some fossils from around 4th Ave. N. where a drain pipe is being installed. I found my best Hardouinia mortonis and several nice Exogyra costata so I know the Peedee formation is present there, I am unsure of other formations, as I found these in a dredge spoil pile on the beach, however I did find some things that are a bit puzzling: The first item is a vertebra of some kind. What throws me off is that the cells are not filled in with limestone like the usual Peedee bones I find, I am wondering if this may be newer, maybe Pleistocene? Any

These Vertebrae are from Cretaceous of Morocco, Does anyone know what species these are? Thanks a lot!

My son found, what looks to us to be, a backbone in the rock, in the shallow water of a beach in Door County, WI. The first picture is the fossil in question, the others are other things we found interesting but less convinced they are fossils. I would estimate it to be about 15 to 18 inches in length. Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance for your time.

Found in the Yorktown foundation area of Virginia . My best guess is some sort of vertebrae from a whale but I’m a newbie so fire away! A couple of the pics are the same specimen just from a different angle. The last pic is fossilized just not sure if it’s related to all the rest. Thanks

Found in a creek in South Carolina with late Cretaceous all the way to Pleistocene material.
r00t2400 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hunted a creek which has produced fossils from the late Cretaceous thru the Pleistocene. Clearly a bit degraded but hoping for an identification. Is it a vertebra?Interesting pattern on the centrum. -
Found in NJ Cretaceous stream. Any suggestions? Looks like a partial vertebrae. Possibly Plesiosaur? Or even Dino?

Hi all, I have this little object. Just wondering if it stands out to anyone. Thanks all.

Hey everyone! I thought I'd share a few of my finds from the past couple months and get yall's opinions. Over winter break, I went back home to North Texas and did some searching around Ammonite Beach at Texoma and the NSR with my family. At Texoma I had a nice time hammering out a few ammonites, collecting teeth, and surprisingly finding lots of smaller, pyritized ammonites that I did not expect to be there. The NSR was a bit slower, but I at least got a nice Squalicorax as shown in the pics below. Since school has started, I've been down in Austin. I've been finding the usual stuff, but the

Hi, I recently bought these vertebrae, found in Niger. What could they be? Crodilian? Dinosaur? ...

Any ideas what type of bone piece this is? I am inclined to say it is a skull piece from a whale. It is heavy - seems too heavy to be a vert fragment. Found it in the Potomac near Stratford Hall and the Horsehead Cliffs. (VA/MD)

Hi everyone, I recently went fossil hunting for the first time near Izier in the Belgian Ardennes. I've found these 3 fossils (I think they are vertebrae) in a small river. When put together they are 40 cm long, about 10-15cm high and 10 cm wide. What animal do you think they are from?

Hi all! Lovely little something I acquired recently. Seller said Struthiomimus, just wanted to verify and see if anyone could provide insight on differentiating altus from sedens from potentially something else like Anzu, raptor, or Tyrannosaur. Measures 7.5 cm tall, 7 cm long, 3.8 and 4.2 cm wide centrums. Found in powder River County Montana. Was apparently found "crushed" and then repaired.

I have a few vertebrae I was hoping to get identified. These are 3 that I don't have any others that are alike. I tried to search online and the oval shaped one looks like possibly a Pachy but wasn't sure. These were all found on the Judith River Formation Montana, Hill County. first 4 is the one that I thought was Pachy, 2nd 4 I am not sure, 3rd 4 might be Hadrosaur?

I have seen this for sale, however the seller states that they don’t know if it is real or a replica. I’m thinking it might be worth taking a risk on, but the air bubbles in the bottom are a red flag. It’s clearly another layer to the top so I suppose it could just be something added to the fossil to strengthen the piece. I’m also thinking that such a piece wouldn’t usually be worth making a replica of. What are your thoughts on this; worth the risk at a low price?
