Got this jaw/skull piece at a shop recently that was labeled Hyracodon. I don't think it looks like Hyracodon, but I don't know what it could be. Any ideas?

I have just received this morning the latest issue of the French magazine 'fossiles': P. LEBRUN, with the participation of Philip and Marion KRÜGER, presents a major subject, from page 5 to page 33, richly illustrated. (I attach the files of the front cover of the magazine and the abstract in English) article fossiles001.pdf article fossiles002.pdf

It’s been a few years since I’ve posted, good to be back- I’m looking for unprepped material! I’m just a hobbiest who enjoys the prep work as much or more than the collecting. I’m not an expert by any means but I’ve done a handful of large green river fish, a few mammoth tusks, an Oreodont upper skull, and a few other miscellaneous specimens. One of the most enjoyable prep projects I did was a small oreodont upper skull that was in grade A condition, but since then (years ago) I cannot seem to find anything similar. I am most interested in any unprepped white River specimens, ideally skulls, turtle shells, etc. as long as they’re in grade A or B condition- I’m not an expert at reconstruction. I’m also interested in some of the larger and more rare species from the Green River formation. A large and complete Mioplosus preferably from the 18in layer would be great, I’ve only ever done one of those before and it was sadly around 30% disarticulated. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! nick

Hey everyone! I need to prepare some White River fossils and I was wondering the best preservation method for larger bones, such as oreodont skulls, etc. Any response is appreciated! Thanks!

Hey everyone! I have a lot of fossils that I need to prepare from the White River Formation and was wondering what the best air scribe is to prep that type of matrix. The matrix can get very tough to breakthrough. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My stepson Josh found this today while hunting in the White River Formation (Colorado) - it's a big vertebra that was sticking out of a hillside. This formation is Eocene-Oligocene. Can anyone help ID this?

I was wondering if anyone could help ID two strange parts of this partial Leptauchenia fossilised skeleton. I've been prepping the bones out of the matrix (which is only a 15%-20% skeleton), but the skull is incredibly complete with all teeth. I've put a photo showing the bones I've identified against a reconstruction by Sinclair in 1910, but there are two strange objects I can't ID. These are of a texture that look more like teeth (than bones) and even seems to have some enamel-type gloss. They are more "claw-shaped" however and the skull isn't missing any teeth which is why I'm confused. The high gloss, smooth finish is whats confusing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What say you?

Right up front, I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I left the vertebrae in place so these are the only photos I have. This series of 8 vertebrae were found weathered out in what I believe to be Whitewater, Brule in the general area of Interior South Dakota Badlands. I would love to have an ID!

New member, 1st post. Lifelong collector, recently re-enthused after finding this in South Dakota during a hunting trip. Take pity on the new guy and my first attempt at fossil photography. Would love to put a name to this!
