  1. Crazy Squirrel

    Croc Jaw?

    Hello, found this at Calvert Cliff about 6” long. Is this a croc jaw? If so, upper or lower? Thanks
  2. Sonickmonx

    Croc Tooth

    From the album: Sonickmonx's South Carolina Finds

    Found this Croc tooth out of the Chandler Bridge formation in a retention pond. It's the only Croc tooth I've found somewhere and it's one of my favorite finds for sure.
  3. Ok, two fossils here. I think the first is a crocodile vert - found in the Aquia formation or Purse/Nanjemoy in Maryland. Is that right? Any suggestions on how to clean it or whether I should? Not sure what the other piece is, but I would guess it is turtle shell. Found in the same general spot. Can someone help with the ID? Thanks, folks!

    ID: Crocodilian or Mossasaur

    Hello! i found this in north carolina washed up on the beach. at first i thought it was croc, but now believe it may be mosasaur. thanks in advance ☻ IMG_4053.mov
  5. I wanted some coral for display purposes so I decided to see if I’d have any luck finding some at Flag Ponds today. I wasn’t expecting much of anything because of hitting it right after the weekend. I was pleasantly surprised with the results of my outing. I not only found plenty of coral I found my first porpoise tooth!!! I was also able to come back with a few nice shark teeth, ray plates, a croc tooth, and plenty of bone frags.
  6. When i found this pebble I wasnt expecting much from it. I thought it was just afew ichthyosaur eye plates When I started preparing it a partial small crocodile skull was slowly revealed. Here it is in comparison with my complete larger skull so you can see which part of the skull it is.
  7. I made it out to Purse yesterday to get some matrix for another member in need. I started out just a little later than I like due to some pretty heavy traffic. A simple 1 1/2 hour trip ended up being 2 1/2 hours. Once I made it to the beach I found a very low tide and got the feeling that luck was on my side. I went straight to gathering matrix for the member in need and loaded up on a bunch extra for some of my coworkers to enjoy. I decided to change things up from my normal day of hours of sifting and decided to run the matrix and extra equipment back to the truck and just spend the day with my backpack with a few essentials in it. When I returned to the beach I went right and just started looking along the water line. There were a few fossils here and there, but I wasn’t getting the pace that I wanted. I decided to start looking through the mounds of rock that was placed on the beach from the waves. I attacked the mounds for several hours and it ended up my best day out yet. I found plenty of sharks teeth and ray plates, about a dozen reptile teeth, a shark vert, and 2 Turritella molds together in matrix. It was the first shark vert I’ve ever found and first fossils that I’ve found in rock so it was pretty exciting for me!
  8. From the album: Texas Cenomanian (Cretaceous)

    Jaw with two teeth, cf. Goniopholididae Cenomanian Texas I initially assumed this jaw to be fish, but after failing to find any matching fish, I sent Mike Polcyn photos for his opinion too. He forwarded the photos to some colleagues who stopped their ID at reptelia indet. With the kickstarter of reptile, I got to work making comparisons to reptile micros from birds and crocs. Literature on both from the cenomanian is extremely absent, and most occurrences of cenomanian bird/croc teeth are just recorded but not described. After ruling out bird, I gravitated to crocs. The wide fluting on my tooth compared to the typical fluting/striations on croc teeth (and the absence of carinae) made it hard to find good matches, but I eventually found some good fits with early cretaceous occurrences of isolated, undescribed Goniopholidid teeth from Spain and Wyoming. Thus, final ID: Likely a juvenile Goniopholidid. This makes in interesting addition to my awareness of the diversity in the Eagle Ford formation.

    Kem Kem Bone Grab Bag

    Every year at the Denver fossil show it seems like I pick up some unidentified Kem Kem material. This is because for one it’s cheap, but also because it’s kinda fun to investigate this material. Here are eight pieces I picked up as a bulk set. I have some idea about identification on each of these but would love to hear other’s input. In the following pictures I have the top row being archosaur fossils and the bottom row being fish fossils. My guesses: 1. Caudal(?) vertebra centrum. Croc or theropod, but probably croc. 2. Croc dorsal vertebra 3. Croc centrum 4. Theropod pedal phalanx. Specifically, the distal-most phalanx of toe 1 (the “dew claw”). Narrowest ID I think I could guess we would be Ceratosauria indet., should probably be labeled as Theropoda indet. 5. Two fused fish vertebrae. Are these identifiable any more than this? 6. Gar or gar-like vertebra 7. Chondrichthyan fish vertebra. Maybe Onchoptistis numida? Can that determination even be made? 8. A gigantic ganoid scale. Any guesses just based on size? I’m unfamiliar with all the monster fish in this rock unit. Thanks :)

    Kem Kem Mystery Vert

    Hi all Was wondering if anyone can identify this vertebra for me. Comes from the Kem kem beds in morrococ my guess is either Croc or spino. Thanks in advance,
  11. Hi, I took pictures with the jaw by different angles. May I know any opinion from you, please? Thank you
  12. OK, I have read the posts about croc tooth versus mosasaur and croc versus alligator. Based on what I read, this could be a mosasaur tooth given the sort of “prismatic” ribbing and lack of any carinae or at least the lack of the two that are equidistant from each other. Anyway, I’m not an expert but would love some help from those more learned. Check out the pics. This is basically from the Calvert formation - but more specifically Horsehead Cliffs area from the water. Thanks for looking!

  14. Good evening, The seller from Morocco sent me some more boxes again. I hope to find phalanges of Spinosaurus in these boxes. May I have some advice from you, please? Thank you so much.

    Anyone know what this is?

    I grew up going to the SC coast with my mom(actually lived there the first few years of my life). I've never lost my fascination with searching for shark teeth(my profile photo is my mother, my deceased sister, and myself at a very young age, looking at our former home in Garden City, SC), and it's known within the group of friends that my wife and I vacation with. Point is, I found this last year at Carolina Beach in NC. I pride myself on a keen eye, but I initially thought it to be nothing more than an ironically accurate shaped piece of wood. I kept it none the less, and "white-lied" to the other couples with us in our airbnb that i was confident it was a tooth. I forgot all about it until about a week ago. After a little research, I'm pretty sure it is, in fact, a tooth. But, I'm leaning towards a reptile. Again, I'm an amateur, just hoping someone can give me an answer. Thanks in advance.

    Couple Aquia trips

    Two recent trips to the Aquia formation along Maryland Potomac River yielded some pretty nice finds. First trip started slow just finding your average sand tiger and goblin shark teeth but by the end scored a few Otodus; unfortunately they were all worn with feeding damage but the largest at 1.95” is still quite the find. The two small Cretolamna were nice additions to the haul as well. Second trip the water was very high, even at low tide but I had they day off work so I wasn’t going to waste it, and I’m glad I went. Again all my Otodus have some damage to them but the bigger one measuring just under 1.7” even with the missing tip is a great tooth and one of my best Otodus from these locations. Top it off with two crocodile teeth and a nice shark vert and it turned out to be quite the nice hunt even with the high water.

    red and heavy bones: Kem Kem?

    We have a few unusual bones we got many years ago from a collection. Should be Kem Kem. But, I am unsure. They are bloody red and very heavy. I think it might be, because in one hole I see sandy sediment I know from Kem Kem But..., what do you think? both are approx. 8 - 10 cm long
  18. Hi, I know claws from the Kem Kem are very hard to identify since not much is published on them, but this is a small 2.1cm claw from the Kem Kem with a curved shape that makes me think that it might be enough to determine if it is theropod (as listed) or croc or even turtle. My gut tells me it is likely to be croc or turtle, but I think some members here might have claws just like this in their collection, so thought it would be worth asking.

    Deltadromeus vertebrae?

    Came across this Vert from the KemKem region. Looks like a regular croc or crocodylomorph vertebrae to me, apparently he is very convinced it's a "deltadromeus" vert. Anyone that can help clear this up

    Kem Kem tooth Crocodile?

    Here's a tooth I bought at the gem show back in the days when Moroccan vertebrate stuff was starting to appear at Tucson and other shows. I've been meaning to show it to people for years. It's from the Kem Kem Beds (Cenomanian), Taouz area, Morocco. It's about 61mm long with cutting edges that appear to be slightly crenulated rather than finely-serrated. It's oval in cross-section on the root end but the crown becomes blade-like toward the tip so it is somewhat labiolingually compressed. I assume it's a crocodile tooth but thought it might have a small chance at being from a dinosaur. I'll hit up the "Kem Kem regulars" for comment but am interested what others say as well. @Troodon @Haravex @LordTrilobite Thanks, Jess

    NJ Plesiosaur or Croc tooth?

    Found in NJ Cretaceous stream. The root hole and lateral? striations on the tooth is what made this stand out. Any thoughts on possible plesiosaur or croc?

    Can be Suchomimus tooth?

    Hi everyone! I got this tooth. Comes from Niger. Could it be Suchomimus? or is it croc? Thanks!
  24. Got out early to Douglas Point on the Potomac river, unfortunately the water was high, rough, and dark. Didn’t find much but I managed the biggest and most complete ray plate I’ve ever found and a decent croc tooth with some great umber color to it!
