Possibility of Getting Abelisauridae Fossils
JurassicParkCarnotaurus posted a topic in Questions & Answers
My favorite dinosaur is the Carnotaurus (hence the name) and I would love to have a fossil of one but I am aware that they are nearly impossible to come by. I was wondering if any of it’s relatives fossils are more common or easier to obtain. Thanks in advance!- 17 replies

A while ago I acquired these verts but never knew what they were. I can also see the obvious peicing togeather on the right one, but I sill think it’s all the same bone- correct me if I’m wrong. They are from the Kem Kem Beds and about 2 inches long. I also have more pictures if needed. Thanks in advance!

Please could someone advise me on the permission required to remove a fossil. At low tide on the North Yorkshire coast near Port Mulgrave I discovered 5 visible ribs and some verts exposed under seaweed. The fossil appears to be limited to this with no paddles or jaw etc but it is still my best find. The area to be removed is approximately 60cm by 50cm. It is located about 10 meters off shore and will be exposed again next week. I removed a rib in three parts and would be able to remove the whole plate with tools. Can anyone tell me whether I need permission to do this and if it would be ok to use a cordless power tool in the process. Best regards Steve

Trying to identify 2 Verts from the Peace River, Florida. Initially I thought that the 1st vert was shark. It is unusual. Hopefully someone recognizes the big circular "hole"... The 2nd is beat up a little, maybe harder to identify

So 2018 has been on a roller coaster of sorts. The east coast was hit with a prolonged cold snap to start the year which froze all the beaches up and most of the Chesapeake Bay too. So there was no hunting at all for the first week and a half of the year. The weather finally broke and i hit the beach i was luck enough to find a nice 2" meg/chub and the tripmaker was a pathological hubbell megalodon i was super stoked. Then the cold came back and once again the beaches froze right back up, so I was back off the beach again. The weather broke and all the ice went away and i hit the beach yesterday and killed it. Found the beautiful lower lateral meg that is just under 3.5", a couple nice makos, the 2 1/4' chub and a super sharp little meg. I also cleaned up on cetecean verts and chesapectens and an inner earbone it has been an up and down kind of month. Here is to a productive 2018. Hope everyone does well.

I find quite a few verts that are flat on both sides. How many critters, besides cetaceans are flat on both sides? Thanks.

Well I finally managed to prep my Plesi vert from Golden cap, Charmouth. The started so easy the matrix falling off them then I hit the pyrite, what a pest they turned out to be. Ended up pinging them a few times with the pen but happy with them.

Hello everyone! Saturday, I went hunting again at the Zandmotor. Even though it is only 25 min away by car from my house, I don't get to hunt there often. First off, a small introduction to the Zandmotor: The Zandmotor is a big beach extension between Kijkduin and Ter Heijde, and it is made by man. The fossils found there are mainly seashells (clams and cockles), which fill the beach, and also mammal bones, which most people search for (most just ignore the seashells, which leaves more for a seashell-lover like me ). Sometimes great white shark teeth are found too, but they are the only species of shark found at the Zandmotor (from what I heard); it's a mystery as to how the shark teeth got there. All the fossils date from the Pleistocene to the Holocene periods (so they are relatively young). The reason that fossils can be found there is because the fossils got dredged up from the North Sea, which is very rich in fossils; the case is similar for the Maasvlakte 2 and the Hoek van Holland, two other locations on the Dutch coast. The Zandmotor actually just looks like any other normal sandy beach, and many people just use it as such. In fact many people that regularly go on the Zandmotor ignore that fossils can be found! The Zandmotor is also a popular place for taking your dog out for a walk. Now my trip report: When we arrived, it was still rather cloudy, but at least it wasn't raining and there was little wind. We did put on our fat coats and were well prepared to face the cold. The small crash of the waves and the squawk of the seagulls filled the air. In the background, the harbor could be seen. Lucky for us, the weather quickly cleared up and gave way to a nice blue sky.

Haven't gotten much lately. A little rain and 10 days of killer wind and this is what I came up with. North Simi Valley...Miocene? Washed down from upper layers to deep sand. Silica sand and a little course sand. Amazing the tiny ones are even still visible...The sand it is in most likely fell 100' down the hill.

First time out to N. Sulphur. Had to hike almost two miles from drop in at ladonia fossil park before I started seeing anything, that place is picked clean. Pretty sure most of these are mosasaur bones, not sure what the specimen is in the last two pics. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Memorial Day on the Sulphur. Weather was great. Again, me & WFRR, went walking the river. The first 3 to 4 hours didn't turn up much, a couple of verts, various bone pieces, etc... Then I walked upon 3 partially exposed verts. I immediately threw down my backpack and started scraping away the loose dirt around them. By that time, RR was there helping. What an adrenaline rush. After about 45 minutes, we had found 20+ verts, some were just the knobs. Also, 5 sections of jawbone with teeth, most were broken off, a few loose teeth. There are several large pieces of bone that I believe are lower jaw & skull sections, a few bones that I think are from the front flipper, many, many small bone fragments. After we calmed down, the realization of just how much bone material was there, and how much weight there was, we thought about how far we were going to have to carry them. Oh well. We split the load, hauled it about a mile, what a beating. That's what friends are for, right? Thanks Randy! After getting them home and washing them, I was really amazed at just how much stuff was there. If anyone can shed some light on any of the bones, I would greatly appreciate it.

It was a perfect day to be out poking around in the rocks Nov 2, so my wife and I ventured out to the NSR to spend some time together. She found some great stuff (including a cool red zone echinoid). But my day was spectacular. Here is what I found: This pile includes sereral nice verts, a large plastron piece, artifacts, shark teeth, mammoth tooth shards, and a very impressive Mosasaur tooth. Here is a closer view of the vertebrae and a bone I have yet to ID (bottom left). A closer view of the Mosasaur tooth, a 50mm Goblin shark tooth (Scapanorhynchus texanus), a small but perfect lateral Cretolamna tooth and an unidentified tooth - possibly Plesiosaur or croc. A series of large to small Enchodus jaws. Next to them is a large flatened shark coprolite. A nice pile of artifacts - whole and broken. A couple closeups of some other verts. The one ont he left is definately Mosasaur, the one on the right I think is Plesiosaur. What a great day! Jon
