    Invertebrate Paleontologist

    I am a new member from New York State and have been referred to join Fossil Forum by a very good friend of mine who goes by Darktooth. I graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 1989 with an MS in the Geological Sciences. My research has focused on Middle Devonian paleontology and stratigraphy of the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Moreover I have conducted research in the taphonomy and paleoecology of Silurian eurypterids in New York and southwestern Ontario, Canada. Most recently, I have been digitizing the Devonian fossil and lithostratigraphic collections housed at the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, NY. And most importantly, I am very active in field collecting, fossil preparation and giving presentations. Selected Publications Mayer, S.M., Baird, G.C. and Brett, C.E. 1994.

  2. Hi, I'm Chris and I live in Southern California USA. Southern California has many locations that have fossils from various periods and especially marine fossils. I typically look for marine and occasionally terrestrial fossils from the Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene periods. The Los Padres Mountains and Santa Monica Mountains are where I usually go the most but I also look at coastal areas and the foothills. I like looking up old research papers on paleontology and seeing if I can retrace the author's steps to previously known fossil sites. I also post often to the Fossil Forum Facebook group. -Chris. p.s. I tried uploading to the Collection here but had no luck. As soon as I get to the mandatory drop down menu to select type of organism, it won't let me make a choice and then won't let me continue from there. Using Chrome so not sure what is going on.
  3. Hey everyone, just getting started collecting fossils. Hoping to learn from everyone and maybe getting advice on unknown fossils and maybe new places in the US to go look for fossils. Thanks!

    Hi everyone, Today I decided to make an account for this forum after following the topics for some time. I live in Belgium so my limited number of findings are mostly pleistocene or neogene from the coastal regions. Looking forward to seeing a lot of interesting stuff on here!
  5. Hello - My name is Richard. I go by sunmadmurf. I come from a family of collectors. My father gave me the bug and I have collected (online) and from dealers foe 30 years myself. Here in Canada we can not go digging for fossils ourselves . In my province Alberta any fossil you find has to be submitted to the Royal Tyrel Museum. They will take it or decide if you can be the curator of the fossil. Recently I inherited our family collection, and there are many pieces that I have no idea what they are or where they are from. I hope to catalogue my collection. Personally I do not know a lot and the next generation knows even less. In advance I would like to expess my thanks for any help recieved on this forum. Thank You, Sunmadmurf

    NW Illinois newbie

    Hi I hope I’m doing this right. I live on a small farm in northwest Illinois just south of Wisconsin. Half my place is a wetland with a creek running through it; it has changed very little since the first plat of the area was drawn in the mid 1800s. I find a lot of fossils and quartzy and other rocks/minerals and I’m here to learn more about what I find. Thanks!
  7. Dinodads

    Hello!

    Hi all, I have always had an interest in fossils and I am currently working on a project through my college, sifting through microscopic materials, and trying to identify them. Our college just upgraded to better equipment which is making our job a lot easier! I collect fossils, and hope to be able to go out and find some over the summer. I do have a certification in southwestern archeology, and can try and look at anything that might be man made, but anything outside of the southwest I cant guarantee.
  8. Hello guys , I am a fossil collector , who wants to learn more about prehistoric live , fossils and how to identify them . I Love this Forum and wanted to become a part of it , because I found Here so many informations about fossils , which I couldnt find anywhere else . I Hope , I'll have a great time here 😊

    Hello All!

    My name is Brandt, 63 y/o, and call home Augusta, GA. Totally a novice and have spent a lot of time walking South Carolina beaches. Other than shark teeth, I have found many interesting and yet unidentified fossils, so I will post pics of my finds in the coming weeks and I look forward to any feedback or ideas. Already got some help on my first post! Looking forward to interacting with TFF!
  10. PaleoStories

    Hi from Germany

    Hi all, I was invited by a fellow fossil enthusiast to join this forum, after being active on the largest German fossil forum "Steinkern.de" for about a decade now. I'm a geologist by profession. but actually more a paleontologist by training and passion. My scientific interest is mostly on vertebrate paleontology, but as a collector I'm interested in a broad range of things, from geolocical and paleontological oddities, to rare specimens from historic locations or just really anything from any time period that has an interesting story to tell (hence the username). My 'core' collection is focused mostly on own finds from the Triassic and Jurassic of Germany and adjacent areas, but since I moved to the western part of Germany, there's an increasing number of Devonian and Carboniferous finds in my collection. Last year, I had the amazing opportunity to join a dinosaur dig in Wyoming and to meet many new friends in the US, so it was about time to join an international forum, too. I'm looking forward to many interesting discussions here! Xaver

    Amazonite???

    I just learned about this site and need help assessing a fossil I have. Is this Amazonite? How do I determine its value? Bottom piece is 8.5” L x 4.5” W x 1.5” H Top piece is 6.75” L x 3.5” W x 4” H Total weight is 9 lbs 3 oz
  12. DokDeino

    Halloha!

    Greetings! I am Dok Deino, a Paleontology student from the Midwest. I'm new to the field, but not new to being a fan of fossils and pre-history. I've been fossil-hunting as an amateur for years now, so long that many of my old treasures now decorate my mother's rock-garden. I have a BS in Geology, with a Bio minor, and I'm looking to go into fossil preparation. Unfortunately, much of the experience I could have gotten back in college was unavailable, thanks to a certain world-wide event that had the world on hold for a few years. So now I'm trying to make up for lost time via volunteering my time at my local university, building up a portfolio before applying at dedicated prep labs. My username is short for Doktor Deinonychus; but I am definitely not a PhD, at least not yet. It's just a fun name. I have a Youtube channel under the same name, dedicated to teaching people about geo/bio/paleontology and counteracting pseudoscience. Pleasure to meet you, everyone. I hope to learn much from my time here, and to pass that knowledge on to others!

    Hello from North Carolina

    Hi all, I'm a biologist (herpetologist) who recently moved back to coastal North Carolina. On a recent trip to visit family in SC, finding shark's teeth on the beach rekindled my childhood fascination with fossils that I think was one of the sparks that led me into biology in the first place. Sad to learn that some of the places I was able to explore in my youth (like the phosphate mines in Aurora) are now closed, but I hope to be able to learn from you all and explore as time permits. Thanks!

    Shark Teeth from Venice FL. ID Please?

    Here are my finds. Some may or may not be shark teeth due to being so eroded they simply had the shape, but it was still a really fun haul and if anyone knows what the larger one is, I'd be thankful. We saw it looked similar to Bull? No serrations, so hard to tell.
  16. HipDipster

    Hi! Nice to meet you!

    Hi! I'm a 23 year old prehistoric/fossil lover who's been casually collecting fun things for the past 4 years or so. I've stayed around the MD/VA area for that time and I've dabbled deeper into the more technical info about these and many other types of fossils but I really want to get more into it. I love learning about these old species and how the earth and it's contents have changed so much over so many years. I hope to discover and learn a lot more! I actually do have some fossils that i need help with identifying, if anyone can help me! just for curiosity's sake 1- i really have no idea what this is 2- i think this is a half of a vert, from the patterns, but to what i dont know! 3- i initially thought this was some kind of knuckle bone. it was found the same day as 2 4- i dont want to get my hopes up and say this is half of an osteoderm, but I saw some pics and they looked similar? ive been wondering about it for years! 5- these two i found pretty recently, and they kind of look like they could be from the same species? I dont know what kind of bones they are though. Thank you so much!

    New fossil

    Hello, I am new here. I am looking for information on this concretion I found.
  19. @Gary Stradling and I had an incredible visit to Ghost Ranch yesterday. This is a large dude ranch/convention center/museum about an hour and a half north of where I live, on the highway from Abiquiu to Chama, New Mexico, in the extreme southeastern part of the Colorado Plateau (Chama Basin). I believe it's the type location for Coelophysis bauri; in any case, the mass kill beds of Coelophysis here are pretty famous, and there are a number of other fossil quarries in the general area, including some that were fought over by Cope and Marsh during the Bone Wars. They have a small but very nice paleontology museum, and a permanent paleontologist on staff, Gretchen Gürtler. Perhaps because we came on a winter week day during COVID slowdown, or perhaps because Gary is just such a charming guy, she ended up giving us the grand tour, including her workshop and latest work. It was a real treat. Gretchen, Gary, and bones. The slab she's currently preparing. This is part of a mass kill of Vancleavea, from the Chinle Group (most likely Rock Point Formation). Various paleontologists have been working on this slab for almost two decades. There are at least three distinct animals in this section. Left of the pointing finger is the palate of a Vancleavea skull, and you can see scutes of its armored skin at upper left. A skull, with orbit just above and to the right of the center of the photograph. Teeth along the jaw in the lower part of the photograph. The full slab again. You can see a string of vertebrae. This section came out of a much larger slab on display in the museum. You can see the work tool stand in the background. This museum seems to have a tradition of letting visitors see the work of the paleontologists close up -- visitors can come right up to the surrounding wall and see the slab and (at the right times) the paleontologist and her students working on the slab. Complete Coelophysis in death attitude. I was aware that the dead tendons tend to contract and pull the skeleton into this curved shape, with tail and neck curled back. I didn't know, until Gretchen told us, that the contracting tendons have such force that they can partially disarticulate the skeleton -- pulling the jaw off, for example. Pes of a Vancleavea in the big slab. The sharp bend is the ankle joint. There is still some debate whether the animal walked flatfooted or on its toes; there are at present no trace fossils from this area to tell us. Alas, there is not an equally striking manus from this slab. Display for Vancleavea Pesky reflection. Gretchen opened the display for us to get a better photograph. The skull at left is a metoposaurid, a temnospondyl (amphibian). A phytosaur. Looks a lot like a crocodile, doesn't it? But it's not that closely related; in fact, birds are more closely related to crocodiles than this critter. It's considered a good example of convergent evolution. Yeah, and the mask. That's where its nostrils were. This critter inhabited very much the same niche as modern crocodiles. The hospitality we were shown was incredible. An absolutely wonderful visit.

    ? Worn mammoth partial

    Hello all! I am a new member and this is my first post. I found this piece snorkeling in near shore waters of the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida. Could it be a mammoth tooth fragment?
  21. Hi! I am new to this site and would appreciate some advice on the Punta Gorda area. We will have about 4 hours there before heading to our vacation rental. The rest of my family wants to relax by the hotel pool, but I want to see if I can look for some shark teeth! We will be close to Shell Creek, but won't have access to a boat or kayak. Is it worth it (or even possible) for me to walk a stretch of creek shoreline in search for sharks' teeth? I am a rookie collector that has been casually combing the beaches of Venice and Manasota Key for teeth over the years. I don't have a smidgen of the knowledge that many of you do on this site, but I do have the enthusiasm! Thanks for any insight you can provide!

    Greetings from Peyton, Co

    Greetings from Peyton, Co! Semi new to the state and definitely new to fossil hunting. I look forward to learning from y’all. On a recent camping trip to Pueblo, Co I found a a few more, and way more detailed fossils. The shell is beautiful, but I’m particularly curious what animal the long bone with a single tooth may have come from. Any ideas? Many thanks!
  23. Hey guys. I am a new member and currently an 18-year-old freshman college student. I am currently going through basics but as a kid, I loved dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. I recently have thought about changing my major from biology to paleontology. I am a fossil collector and hope to collect hundreds of examples of prehistoric life. As I said I'm a fossil collector but a novice at it. I know relatively what a given organism is but I want to know, if possible, the species. If they are completely unidentifiable, no worries. I might add that all of these fossils did not have locations of where they were found except the starfish which was found in Morocco. I'm making a log of all my fossils and want to know the genus of each individual one. I have linked a google drive folder with all the images of the ones I would like identified if possible. Feel free to message me with any questions or just to get to know me. I'm open to making friends with fellow lovers of life. Thanks. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m0QB8pmy-snZYujwb6Fy06flKsRxQK3E
