Hi Everybody, I am trying to ID some fossils for my friends from the Royal Peacock Opal MIne. They have these fossils for display only at their gift shop but they are not really sure what they are. These are all miocene age fossils, Humboldt County, Nevada. I think the foot and the teeth are from some kind of small horse. I have no idea about the jaw with the teeth. Picture 1: Articulated foot bones from a horse? Picture 2-4: Jaw section from unknown mammal Picture 5-6: Bovine tooth, horse? Bison? camel? Picture 7: Bovine tooth, horse? horse? Bison? camel? Any IDs would be appreciated, Thanks, Jesse

Found a lot of new fossils this past weekend. I typically collect shark teeth but I am trying to learn about other fossils a little bit now. I’ll post 3 pictures of different pieces because that is the max allowed to post. I’ll also try and post more pics in the comments if I can. Where are my smart people at?!

I found this piece this past weekend. I’m not sure what it is..? Possibly fossilized bone but the consistency is so hard it looks more like a mineral to me? The middle is a beautiful tan, almost shiny metallic color at the right angle. Anyone know what it is?!

Can anyone identify this for me? I would think it was a crocodile scute, except Ive never seen that shape before.

From the album Sharks and fish
The shark relative is genus of eugenodontia holocephalid from the Carboniferous-Pennsylvanian age Anna shale formation, Carbondale group, found in different Illinois coal mines. I dont know(yet)which mine these were found in. This unidentified species is of the "vorax-serratus- crenulatus-heinrichi" or "E. heinrichi group", with the teeth being more of a standard triangular shape, as opposed to being thinner and pointed at a forward angle as in the "E. minor" group http://www.thefossilforum.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=501751 -

From the album Marine reptiles and mammals
2 unidentified mosasaur species' anterior end of premaxillary bones. One with teeth broken off just beyond the skull, and the other has 2 remaining teeth, with the rest broken off at the level of the skull. the larger fossil was found in the phosphate mines of Khouribga, Morocco. ive since lost the information for the smaller fossil, sadly. -

From the album Marine reptiles and mammals
Unidentified Cretaceous crocodile species, suggested by multiple people, to appear to be a Dyrosaurus, came from the second phosphatic layer of a phosphate mine(what a shocker!)around the suburbs of Khouribga, Morocco. Original teeth, not replacements. Have gone through and cleaned up the base of some of the ones that had some sand around them. -

Hi, I am new to this forum. About 15 years ago my grandmothers brother gave me a fossil, he said he found it in a mine when he was a miner. Since then it has been stored in a cool dry place but I occasionally admire the fossil. There are two fossils, both consist of 5 parralel rows of small blunt teeth that are in very good condition. I have always wanted to know exactly what they are, any help is appreciated. Cheers

I have been drawing dinosaurs for a long time, and i´m getting better with each drawing, i thought that i would show off some examples of the work i have done, so here it comes: Unexpected Visitor Two Laevisuchus are scared away by a larger Rajasaurus in cretaceous India. Diving Giant A Spinosaurus swims after its favourite prey, Onchopristis (Still need to get a fossil of that one ) in cretaceous North Africa. Evicted! A Velociraptor is scared away from its home by a Therizinosaurus in cretaceous Mongolia. Clash of the Titans A Tyrannosaurus faces off with Triceratops in cretaceous North America (The T.Rex´s leg got a little weird here). Commisions I´ve also done several commisions, most for Keith Olsen´s Dinoworld franchise (here: http://dinoworld.freeforums.net/index.cgi) which aren´t meant to be accurate at all, so here they are, Compsognathus and Kaprosuchus: Please tell me what you think of them, and if there is any particular prehistoric animal that you would like me to draw. /Sebastian
