  1. The winner of the September 2021 VFOTM goes to... Protohadros byrdi dentary tooth - Woodbine Formation, Cretaceous - Denton County, Texas Congratulations to @Captcrunch227 !!!
  2. I have a few pleistocene bones and large shell fragments that are fractured, and I'm unclear on the best way to repair them. I've read many topics on the forum about the importance of consolidation and materials to use, and I have materials on order, so I should be able to get started soon. But I'm a little unclear on the process if the bone is in two or three pieces. If you have a completely broken bone, should you consolidate the broken pieces separately first (i.e. in an acetone/butvar mix), then glue them back together with something like CA glue? Or would the consolidant make it harder to piece and glue them back together after they dry? Thank you, Brandy

    Leighton Formation Conodont?

    So, I have just found this highly-suspect fossil - my guess is a conodont. I saw it as I was examining pieces of shale, and thought it was worth looking at under the microscope. It seems to have the diagnostic features, even the transition of colors between the blue base and white tips. I was hoping for some of your options on it. If this is a conodont, it would be the first from this formation. My guess would be a Ozarkadina sp - it is a very common Silurian conodont here, and some of the elements look remarkably similar to my specimen. This specimen came from the very fossiliferous layers of this formation, and was found in association with multiple ostracod species (Kloedinia, Londinia, Hemsiella, etc.), T. elongatus tentaculites, and Nuculites corrugatus. This formation is Pridoli, Silurian. Thanks in advance for your help!

  7. Hey guys, First, sorry I've been absent from the forums. After the death of @caldigger I just kinda fell off from the social aspect of it all. It's been a weird year and some change. Covid has effected us all in some form or other, the planet is basically on fire, and politics is eating us from the inside out. I've literally lost friend, figuratively and metaphorically from all of the above. In the time of my absence from the forums, I have been fossil hunting. I've only shared my experience with people that are personally close to me, mostly @Bone Daddy. But, I figured it was time to re-enter the paleontological world. I've just recently secured a new job and before it begins a week off for just myself. Of course, I'm currently spending that time fossil hunting. I've only gone once, which was Monday the 16th of August. But, It was very successful from the word 'go'. I arrived at my white river site fairly early at 9 am. I underestimated the heat of the day, and this particular site has no shade. I was only able to hunt for about 3 hours before my old age surrendered to the heat. In this three hours I found what I think to be a brontothere jaw. These are notoriously brittle, and this site makes no exception. In fact, my horse and kingdom for any of my fossil sites to produce a stable fossil! Anyway, as I arrived I noticed there was a section that I had somehow overlooked in my previous excursions. I immediately headed out that way, and found several chunkasaurus bits and bones...a few big verts, which I always love to find. I began to find scraps of a brontothere tooth, which is fairly common in the area. As I gave a closer look, I found a whole tooth. This is a blessing and a curse considering i've found 5 of these teeth in the area and only managed to obtain 1 of them in salvageable condition. I began the painstaking process of extracting this brittle tooth, while looking around for other pieces that may have been scattered through the ages. I noticed that there were more and more pieces of tooth uphill from the initial discovery. This was odd to me, because usually downhill from the major discovery is where you will find bits and pieces of it. I followed the trail which lead me to the beautiful jaw section. I managed to extract the jaw in 4 or 5 major pieces, but as you can tell from the photos, there is a lot of work to do. Although it is in several hundred pieces, I'm very pleased with the condition of it all. Anyway, here are the photos. Cheers Just replying to follow.

  12. Hello, Since all those covid restrictions I haven't got the opportunity to go look for fossils outside of Belgium. So most of our trips from the last year are almost exclusively in the devonian. To get a little change of this I was hoping to find some unprepped vertebrate material, it dousn't have to be complete and I am not afraid of some puzzel work, but the pieces need to be recognisable. I can offer a multitude of different fossils for trade. ( Ammonites, spiriferids, shark teeth, sea-urchins,...) Natalie

  17. Hello, a friend of mine found some kind of large fossilized creature in a cave on Sand Mountain in northeast Alabama. It was buried in red clay. The rocks containing fossilized bone are broken into many pieces; he has collected hundreds of small to medium sized pieces and there are many larger ones still at the site. Most of the creature is still there. The rocks are a sandy yellow color and unusually light weight. I washed one of them (#28) and there was a lot of tiny bubbles forming in different places, showing that the rock is porous. Three of the pieces (see pic below) he assembled into a complete joint. The creature may have been 20+ feet long, and I would guess it's a sea creature, given that the imprint of a seashell is found in one of the fossil rocks. The complete archive of images is here: http://grow.game/files/fossil-pictures-lowres-2021-05-26.zip These are pics of only 32 pieces of the hundreds he's collected. Notes on individual images: #20 appears to be some kind of iron ore. It's unusually heavy. There is another piece just like it also. Could be a clue to the geology of the site. #27 note the shell embedded on one side. #28 looks brilliant orange because it's still wet after washing some dirt off. This is the one that was bubbling in different places.

    Weird vertebrae

    I found these two vertebrae together in the Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta. I’m wondering what they might be? I’m suspecting rather Champsosaur, turtle, or juvenile theropod. Any insight into the identity of these two elements would be great, thanks! @Troodon
