Fossil shark teeth from Ukraine - What formation?
bthemoose posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I acquired some Paleogene fossil shark teeth from a Ukrainian fossil hunter/collector and was wondering if anyone here might know what formations these may have come from. They were found on an island in the Dnieper River near/just south of Kyiv. The collector didn't know the specific formation and described them as coming from sand alluvium. From what I can tell, these appear to all be Eocene species, though not being familiar with the local geology, I can't rule out Paleocene for the Otodus obliquus tooth at least. Any ID corrections are of course welcome as well! Otodus obliquus Hexanchus agassizi Jaekelotodus trigonalis Otodus aksuaticus or O. auriculatus

Dear friends, let me submit a sample from the alluvial sands of Kyiv, Ukraine. Please help me decide: is it a concretion or a fossil, and if it is a fossil, what could it be? May be, it is carbonized wood? As I know, Cenozoic deposits are possible here in Kyiv. In the Paleogene, the territory of Kyiv was covered by the sea (here the bones of the Basilosaurus were found), since the Neogene - land. I applied vinegar, and my sample does not respond Thank you in advance for the tips!

Kyiv at the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Archeological Museum. Mammoth shoulder.
Andriy posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
Hi! I visited the museum today (Kyiv Archeological Museum). And noticed the thing I had seen before (in 2017, in Vienna Natural History Museum). It's the mammoth shoulder in which zigzag ornament inflicted red ochre. This thing occurs in Mezin. The site is one of the better-known examples of Magdalenian culture in Ukraine. (sorry for the low-quality photos)
