Days in caves - Pleistocene fossils hunting - Southeast Asia
vietnamfossil posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone! This thread is dedicated to our Southeast asis fossil cave adventures and finds. One of the important sites for the Stegodon - Pongo - Ailuropoda fauna of the Pleistocene. This not only just fossils but also the Paleolithic and Neolithic found. Following this and I wil explain more experiment on IDyng the cave fossils and some basic things to know the age of them. Hope you guys enjoy it! This is my first trip in North Viet Nm. Cave entrance (usually Pleistocene cave have very small entrance) Just 15 minutes and I discovered a hominid tooth. It not my first time but I really love that moments. I use to found mammals before but just normal deer fossils. Looking for fossils into these cave deposites and cave breccia is not easy- 16 replies

The following pictures were found in a cave on my farm in central Kentucky. They were deeply buried underwater and rocks at the mouth of the cave. Water flows heavily from the cave and rocks had been clogging the waterfall so we were trying to clean the area up. Thank you in advance

At one point I stumbled across a picture of what seems to be some giant fossil in a cave. It was a national geographic photo. It could have been a whale bone or a giant coral. Not quite sure. It was the size of a large tree trunk, maybe a tree? Its in a cave/underground, black and white photo, national geographic image with many people around the large section of what ever it was. I cant find it in my history either. If this sparks any memories with any one or some one has this please let me know. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Not my find but noticed this one on Reddit. What do you think. Seems to be too much coincidence. My best guess a real skull covered in some deposits either marine or cave in origin.

Hi everyone! When I put some cave breccia into liquid of acid acetic and water and this one came out. It long and slim seems doesn’t fit to any mammals that I know. When I used hammer to break the cave sediment, it broken into 2 part. This cave contains a lot of fossil from Pleistocene but mostly found are tooth of mammals. This is the first time I tried acid to preparation if there bone or microfossils. so please tell me if you know something about this bone. Thank for reading!

I just thought I would share a few pictures of this amazing snake I was able to acquire from a good friend who is letting go of a few pieces of his collection. He is getting up in age and I was honored enough to be the recipient of a few incredible pieces. This snake was found in 1988 in a cave on private property in Oregon. It is Pleistocene in age and is believed to be a species of racer (colubridae). Enjoy Seth

This is a cave find I can't place. I think its a partial tibia, but from what family? The identification of this bone could help me with the time-line of the cave. Thanks

Hi, Even in this hard times of corona virus outbreak I couldn't resist the urge to visit again a cave that I found a few weeks ago, but couldn't explore it fully. So I went again and this last time I went in the cave I found a great number of bones scattered around the cave. I think they are probably modern, but it is weird because the cave isn't very easily accessible for animals since it has a few big drops. I found this tooth in a small ,,room,, which was barely big enough to squeeze in to. In that same place there were a small broken skull and many bones, but this is just one of the many places with such bones. At first I even thought that some explorers ate a chicken or something like that in there, but the bones are just too many and THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A CHICKEN SLAUGHTER FEST. I would be glad to hear your opinions on what creature is this toot from and if it is modern or ancient. The color I guess would suggest modern but i am no expert on how are bones preserved in caves and sadly I have no information on the age of the cave. I hope you are all fine and the virus never gets to you!

I found a cave recently, located about 30 feet above a creek on a hillside. Inside the cave I found a chunk of sediment, hardened into a sort of conglomerate. I split open the rock and inside found this. I have no idea what it is, thinking maybe a seed of some sort. Also in the conglomerate were crinoids and clam shell fossils, so this stuff seems old to me. I am located in central Missouri, USA and would really appreciate your help in identifying what this is. It is just over 1 inch in length (25.4 mm) and about 1/4 inch thickness (6.35 mm). On one side, there is a sort of indention that still has some of the conglomerate material in it. The side pictured is what I consider the front and is not the side with the indention and conglomerate, just to clarify.

Good evening, I was hoping to get an ID on this tooth I found in a karst region of Travis county, Texas. The tooth was found about 10 feet below surface (Jollyville formation) . About three miles away is a famous cave known as Fyllan cave, which has produced a diverse fauna that includes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and mammals from the mid Pleistocene. Thanks!

Hi there I recently purchased a cave bear paw and arm. It unfortunately cracked almost clean thru along a pin at the end of the humerus and a few piece broke off the head of the humerus. The seller said to use super glue for the repair. I am a total amateur. Is this the best thing to use? Any recommendations on how repair or what to use. If you recommend something other that super glue please let me know if it's something I can buy online Thanks!

Looking for a good Woolly Rhino cave painting image
aplomado posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I am looking for an attractive woolly rhino cave painting image, either a diagram or photograph. I want to print it 8x10 so it should have decent resolution, and I need to be free to legally reproduce it for personal use. I would like to use it for a fossil display background. Can anyone help? I already found the one below, but would like a better one if possible. -
