  1. I’ve recently remember that I like dinosaurs and fossil and got back into it again this time I actually bought fossils and have a small collection, on to the main topic, I was wondering if there are any things with information you would recommend. Example: sites, posts, studies, documentary, books or a place with news relating to new discoveries, fossil or paleontology, I enjoy facts or interesting information, If there’s something that you enjoy and think it’s not that big of a deal to others I would also like to know what that may be. Other Things I would enjoy: -learning more about the technical side of paleontology like why they name true bone with letters and numbers -Formation and what makes the fossil there unique if there is any -Scientific things like Taxonomy, genus and species (quite interesting in that stuff but can’t seem to find a place that compiles the information to an easy understandable thing to read, though I’m sure it’s not that complex) Any info is appreciated!
  2. I believe the rock is just calcite. I found it a few years back. It was only a couple feet from the water here on bay side of Samoa Peninsula across from Eureka, CA. There are big boulders for the break piled all along the edge of the water. It just caught my eye down between some of the boulders on the sand. Any info would be great. I find it really interesting and I was glad to find it. Thank you

    Seahorse fossil

    Hello. Happy to be included in the group. Thank you. I found a rock that appeared to have a fossil inside. Driving back to Toronto last summer we pulled off the highway at a rest stop in the mountains of Pennsylvania. I spotted the interesting piece in relatively new crushed rock that was placed along an embankment. I assume placed to to help with erosion. After a vinegar bath to soften the rock, I have been using my Dremel to carefully expose the seahorse. I presume the fossil must be very old to find it in the Appalachian mountains, but I cant find much information online about the fossil itself. Any info provided would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a few pics of the very slow progress to date. Regards

    Forest Gahn

    Would anyone have the contact information for Forest Gahn, Brigham Young University? I lost his latest info somehow and need to contact him regarding a crinoid that I am prepping. His name will not come up in the staff directory. Maybe he left the University?? Thanks, Mike

    Can anyone identify this tooth

    Went camping over the weekend with my Boyfriend, we both love the outdoors… Anyways I have a love for rocks and I was digging for a new rock when I came across this TOOTH:) Completely awesome but I collect rocks not teeth. So I’m looking for any information on this tooth I have. Thanks for the help and Completely awesome . Found in Bakersfield CA
  7. Hello everyone, I'm looking for a professor in this field or someone with any sufficient knowledge in the matter of question, what can we obtain from looking at a tooth of an animal? The purpose of the question is to learn and design an Image processing algorithm that shall do the work for non-experts who would find a tooth of a fossil. So far, I've come to know it is easy to determine if the animal is carnivorous or herbivorous. But I don't know how to do it myself yet. Any help?

    Shark tooth

    Got a shark as big as a cigarette box and found it no where near the water with a lot more fossils. Need information

    Reminds me of an elephant's foot.

    So I'm looking for any information on this beauty. It is part of my late husbands collection. Info: Location: Unsure but I'm guessing Texas because my husband never traveled outside of Texas. Colors: white/grey black Gold/copper (solid) Gold (semi-translucent) Metallic silver Dimensions: (approximate, please see pictures) Smaller diameter- 2.5 cm Larger diameter- 5cm Height-4.25 cm Width-3.5 cm Length-4.5 Key details: It looks like a elephant foot to me. On the smaller circle (top) it looks like there is a smaller triangular-ish circle. There is a opaque goldish/copper color on several spots , they seem somewhat like veins. On the larger circle (bottom) there is a semi translucent goldish color. It seems iridescent when the light hits it. Thr metallic silver color is on different spots all over it but seems to mainly be where there is a nick on the rock. When dry it is a white/gray color but when wet it has a yellow/tan-ish color. It is not magnetic. It sparked while I was cleaning it. I have added many pictures. If there is any info I missed or any pictures of the rock you may need, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you all for any help you can give and any info about it.

I have a few more but didn't wanna overwhelm with pictures.

    Endochrus? (Enchodus)

    I purchased this as an Endochrus Spine Section. I have since tried to find more information on the species, but a Google search only returns online listings, and no information pages. As far as Google is concerned, it seems the species doesn't exist. The whole piece is a little over 4 inches across, almost 5 at it's largest point. The vertebra itself is maybe 2 inches long, and almost 2 and a half tall. I have no information on it's origins. It was pretty cheap, so I am not freaking out about all of this, but I WOULD like to know if anyone has heard of an Endochrus, and if so, what is it? If not, what might be a more accurate name for this? Thank in advance. ::EDIT:: The seller has informed me that the locale is the Atlas Mountains in Morocco

    Fossil Hunting in Winder Ga?

    In April I am heading to Winder GA to visit my Daughter for my birthday, we will be going hunting to some of the gem mines. Anyone have a good easy to access creek for fossil and shark teeth hunting? Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thanks Deb PS. I still have issues knowing the best place to post this. what topic to use?
  13. I've found five Petalodus teeth and have been spending a lot of time reading research papers on them. I got the idea of trying to get released photographs for the 16 holotypes of named species within the Paleobiological database. I got the 16 named species from a list here: http://fossilworks.org/?a=referenceInfo&reference_no=42606 Petalodus ohioensis was easy enough to find, Yale publishes some of their collection online. Unfortunately the one in their collection is only a cast. The original may be lost. This paper has a few, including ohioensis. Taxonomic validity of Petalodus ohioensis (Chondrichthyes, Petalodontidae) based on a cast of the lost holotype – K. Carpenter, W. Itano Here are the 16 I am trying to get. I've asked permission for allegheniensis and I have ohioensis. I need to see if there are holotypes for the other 14 and which collections they are stored. I would love to create a public open web page that shows all 16 (if they exist). Petalodus acuminatus 1836 (Agassiz) Petalodus allegheniensis 1856 (Leidy) Petalodus arcuatus 1870 (St. John) Petalodus curtus 1870 (Newberry and Worthen) Petalodus davisii 1889 (Woodward) Petalodus flabellula 1889 (Woodward) Petalodus grandis 1883 (Davis) Petalodus hastingsiae 1840 (Owen) Petalodus hybridus 1875 (St. John and Worthen) Petalodus jewetti 1957 (Miller) Petalodus knappi 1879 (Newberry) Petalodus linearis 1838 (Agassiz) Petalodus linguifer 1866 (Newberry and Worthen) Petalodus ohioensis 1853 (Safford) Petalodus proximus 1875 (St. John and Worthen) Petalodus sagittatus 1843 (Agassiz) I am going to continue down the road, but figured I would raise the issue here. One road block is that some of the original teeth may be described in non-english research papers. Thank you!

    Legged Snake Article

    Article: https://scitechdaily.com/new-fossils-of-ancient-snake-with-hind-legs-reveals-tantalizing-details-of-evolution/amp/ Enjoy!
  15. Hello I present an interesting question that I'm not to confident to answer myself and am seeking help from the more knowledgeable. Since it seems like (from what I had seen) iron concretions can at rare times preserve certain fossils or traces in one way or another such as molluscs, brachopods, and such. Due to this would it be possible for material such as turtle shell scutes or maybe even croc scutes to turn up in such concretions in one way or another? (the pics are just snipets of general info that I came across online)

    Fossil ID

    Hello, we are new to this forum so hope we posted this in the correct place. We found the fossil in the photo below in the East Fork of the Little Miami River in Claremont county Ohio. It was just laying there complete In clay in shallow water. It is about 2 feet in length. The underside (not shown) has remnants of what appear to be feet. To help it crawl. We are not sure what it is, anything about it, or if the size of it is common or extraordinary in length. Any information you can offer would be most appreciated Thanks in advance, Linda&Tim in Cincinnati Ohio
