Hey guys, the storm up north is churning up some amazing finds! I'll be posting over the next few days my finds but I wanted to know your opinion on this very large vert. I'm thinking whale or mamm/masto. Let me know!

I found this in a stream bed in central Ohio. Looks somewhat porous like bone. Could anybody help me identify this?

I traded this piece in this forum few months ago, and i heard this is spinosaurus's neural spine. After i received this I searching and trying to match this bones with spinosaurus's neural spine and sail bone. They looks pretty similar with this piece but not perfect matched. So, I can't sure what is this bone piece is.. I hope i can identify this clearly. Do you have any idea of this pieces? +I feel really embarrassing about i wrote 'Kam Kam' on title... now i edit that. I feel i need to more study again It's almost 30cm long. And here is more details. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Yesterday, I just find with the high tides this vertebrae. It's come from the upper kimmeridge clay of Normandy in France. I know very well the marines reptiles of this age (sauropterygia, ichtyosaurs,etc...) but this vert look very different. Especially with the big furrow at his bottom. I think it's look like a Dino vert but i'm really not sure and I don't know bones of dinos. Could you give me your opinion about it? Many Thanks Carbon.

Out on a beautiful day with friends, returning to a location that had produced some good finds where I knew what I was finding. The river was up a foot since we hunted last and since my specific location was already pretty deep, I had to move and find another spot. The finds were "odd" .. lots of broken mammal teeth, few small shark teeth, and lots of scutes and bones. Example: Found a complete Glypt/Dillo osteoderm smaller than a dime and my smallest Meg ever. But this is an ID thread: 1st -- foot pad or hoof core??? 2nd... Antler or tusk tip?? Finally 3rd , a vertebrae with both processes broken off All guesses, requests for different views, suggestions appreciated. Thanks Shellseeker

My friend sent me a few photos of a fossil from Ganzhou, Jiangxi of China. It appears to be a vertebrae to me. Does it look like dinosaurian?

Hi y'all, Finally got around to cleaning up my finds. On Friday I managed to work in a half day of hunting with @David E. . After the big surge we had high hopes. We found a few Mos verts and I managed to crack a few ammonites out of the red zone. On Sunday I took out @Buffalo Bill Cody to an area in which we hoped to find some points. If you want points go out with me because I'll be sure to over look them and leave some beauty's for you. Though I did find a nice chunk of one. The search continues for a perfect point. Notice all the enchodus jaw bones on the right side.

Have not been out frequently this month, so here are finds from a couple of weeks back. These finds are small..... but outstanding!!! Any time, I get a couple of pristine and/or unusual fossils, I am ecstatic. I love the small Meg, but these outstanding posterior tiger teeth are a first for me at this level of quality.. I did not know they had so many serrations.... right out of a karst_clay like mixture.

So i mentioned I was going to do a Calvert Cliffs Annual calendar to highlight my best finds from each month. Well I took all the pics and sent it off to the printer they will be ready in a week. This way when i'm too old and senile to hunt anymore I will be able to flip through the old calendars to remember when things were found. So without further ado here is the first of many years to come!! JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER COVER

Myself and my hunting buddy (un_named) are certifiable. We went out hunting this morning with the airtemps at 41 degrees in Wauchula. Not being completely crazy, I had my 7mm friend with me. I found a great Astragalus (turns out to be modern cow), and a complete femur (ditto). We saw a large gator. I felt sorry to see it slip into the water as we passed. The gator was just grabbing some rays on the sand banks. I found a couple of Megs, 2 pieces of fossilized wood, numerous small teeth and then these 2. Without the root , I am not positive this is giant thresher. If so, it is my 2nd in 10 years and even missing most of the root, will get a place of honor. I do not find many of these either... I have been labeling these "sawfish"; other have called them shark vertebrae or sting ray vertebrae. 33mm in diameter. Any insights? Thanks for all comments. Jack

Hi Im prepping out this dinosaur vertebrae and I'm hoping someone can help with ID. Its from the Lower Createous. The bone preservation is very good and it's a nice black colour. You can see what I think are two pleurocoels showing. I think it's a theropod caudal but I'm just guessing. The other side and ends are still covered in matrix but I'll post additional photos when I've prepped more. Any help on the type of dinosaur and any specifics would be greatly appreciated Thanks Nick

Hello everyone, I got this vertebrae in Arizona at a small fossil shop for free with another purchase, the owner said it was acrocanthosaurus but me and a few others are pretty doubting, I’d appreciate any help

Hi, is the specimen shown in the photos a fossil vertebral bone of a dinosaur or whale? The fossil is from Madagascar. Thanks.

I possess three vertebrae from Calvert county (I think they are all from plum point which I believe is Calvert formation, miocene) all cetacean. One of them is strange to me and I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to these questions: •why does it have such a large spinal cord opening (pardon my lack of anatomically accurate terms) is this because of placement or species? I vaguely remember it being called a porpoise vert. • the other two possess a channel at the bottoms but this one dosent, why is this so? The first picture is the vert I speak of. Thanks!

Hi, I found this amongst rocks near the water at Lyme Regis beach in 2004. I assumed icthyosaurus but the curvature seems extreme for one. So if anyone can shed light on what this is, would be most appreciated as it's my most precious and largest creature find. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I recently found a bunch of vertebrae on a river in NE Kansas. I have found parts from deer, cow and bison here. I do not know how to distinguish bovid vertebrae as well as some of you all do, so I need your help. I will follow up with more pics.

Found in the mountain area just above Machu Picchu. Not sure if animal or human. Python, llama, panther? Haven't a clue.

Can anyone tell me what type of animal or species this vertebrae is from? I found it in the North Sulfur River near Ladonia, TX, which I think is in the Ozan Formation.

My most recent and most exciting acquisition, a giant partial vert from a tyrannosaurus rex from the hell creek formation of Montana. Nearly went into cardiac arrest that I was able obtain such a large specimen from t rex, so I thought I would share. It really fills up the dinosaur collection and feels like it weighs a ton, I think the dimensions are somewhere around 6.5 inchs or so long and 10.5 inchs tall if I remember, would've been alot taller if the process was still intact and I like how the giant pores are visible cause of the damage. Super massive piece, I was worried about it collapsing my shelve but it fits fine so far.

Can this be a spinosaurus sacrum?
Kutembea posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I found this fossil online a few days ago and might be interested in buying it. But I don't know much about the spinosaurus, I just have good knowledge when it comes to the teeth. It is said to be the sacrum of a spinosaurus, it is 13,77 inches (or 35 centimeters). 95 million years old and was found in southern marocco, in the sahara desert. Could it be a spinosaurus sacrum from a small individual or what else could it be?
