  1. Hello everyone! I'm here seeking for help with the ID of this Mosasaurus rooted tooth. It comes from Ouled Abdoun, Morocco. The seller said that it's a pterygoid tooth. If you think it is correct, what are the distinctive features to recognize species and that it is a pterygoid tooth? Thank you so much!
  2. Hello all, I've been a fossil admirer for many years and finally pulled the trigger to get a few pieces of my own this week at the Denver show. Regrettably, I didn't do any research into fakes beforehand - didn't even cross my mind, as this is an organized and seemingly reputable event. I bought two trilobite fossils and one brittle star. Each was from a different vendor, all of whom were from Morocco. When I started doing some reading to try to confirm their species after I got home, I found many resources about fake fossils including this forum. I now suspect that all three of my fossils are fakes, as I can see what appear to be pinholes from resin bubbles on them. I've attached some photos. The larger trilobite I got from a guy who had tons of different-sized trilobites in various positions on different bits of stone, and it has visible cracks where it's been reassembled. However it seems to have clear pinholes across its head. The brittle star seems like the most obvious fake after learning more about fakes, given the color and shininess plus the couple of pinholes. I'm not really sure what to do at this point - I still admire these pieces and find them quite beautiful. If they're casts of real fossils they retain some of their interest for me. But it feels really bad to have been duped, potentially three times, in my first foray into fossil collecting. I have half a mind to go back and confront the vendors (I paid two of them with zelle and have their names and information) but I'm not sure what would be gained. Is there some way I could notify the venue so that other buyers don't get swindled? Curious to hear people's thoughts on whether these are indeed all fakes, and what you would do in my place. Currently I'm leaning towards considering it a lesson and keeping them as pieces of art, but the bad taste does linger. Thanks for your time!

    Serratolamna ascheronii tooth sets

    Ive been trying to "assemble" a "set" of Serratolamna ascheroni. I have based the dentition on a blue shark/Hemipristis dentition. I would like some advice about, the difference in uppers and lowers. In the pics on the bottom row I have tried to show the two versions I think are viable. The left is Prionace, the right Hemi based "set" Which one looks right? Open to advice, critique, or refrences.

    Eramiasaurus?

    Hi guys got a few teeth I’m not sure on here I would appreciate some help, thanks! 1. Carina only on one side so it’s one of those palatal teeth? And compression suggests eramiasaurus? But could be T. Atrox 2. slightly prismatic but compressed so Eramiasaurus? 3. Compressed so eramiasaurus again? thanks again guys @Praefectus @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon
  5. Hello everyone! I'm here seeking for help with the ID of this Mosasaurus jaw section I recently bought. It comes from Ouled Abdoun, Morocco. I don't know much more, and I'm just becoming crazy reading that there are more than 18 Mosasaurus species from Morocco The seller didn't commented on the ID, but he said it may be an Eremiasaurus. What do you think? Also, do you think that the bone on the bottom left is the left side of the jaw? Thanks in advance!

    Trilobites ($$$) ?

    I have had these fossilized trilobites for many years and would like to know what they are worth… I’ve come across similar listings ranging from [prices redacted]… this seems to be in better condition than most?
  7. How does one reliably differentiate Moroccan Pterosaur teeth from similarly elongated fish teeth? Are there any grooves, striations etc I should be looking out for under a loupe? (Image credit: AJ Plai, http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php...)
  8. Hello! Good morning to all my friends from my favorite forum ! Unfortunately my English is not very good, but I would like some help, please, for this fossilized tooth. I know there is no publication of any fossilized skull, and unfortunately it is rare to find publications on the fossils of Moroccan teeth ... But I believe this tooth does not fit with a Carcharodontosaurus. By the morphological characteristics, it fits more with a Dromaeosauridae family. What do you think? Hugs to all!

    Dino vertebra unknown

    I ended up with a fossil with almost no id. (I need to avoid fossil shows; where I can yield to temptation) It is reported to be a Moroccan dinosaur vertebrae. If anyone can make a educated guess as it its species, age and formation, based on its preservation and shape, I would greatly appreciate it. It is a rough oval 14 cm by 10 cm and 9 cm in height
  10. Hey everyone! So recently I purchased some unprepared Moroccan trilobites. I am having a very hard time preparing them and am making a lot of mistakes. And I was just wondering if these maybe are not the best for practice for a beginner, or is it just me? Thanks, @fossilhunter21

    Moroccan marine reptiles

    Hi guys I have quite a few teeth that I would love to be able to identify let’s start with mosasaurs I think 1. 2. 3. I recall these have a new name past globidens? 4. 6.

    Moroccan bone

    Hello everyone! Would anyone be able to identify this bone from Morocco ? Thank you
  13. Hello, I have found these trilobites online and would like to know if they are real. 1.- Paralejurus rehammanus, Emsian Devonian, from Khebchia fm. 2.- Cheirurus (Crotalocephalina) gibbus, Middle Devonian, El Atchana, Alnif. I had to cover the name of the seller from one of the images. Thanks!

    Trilobite buy??

    Bought a couple Trilobites from different dealers in Quartzsite Arizona. Hoping to get better info then what I was given. One has a faded label, the other nothing. First one supposedly came from an old collection and has an old label stating "Astropyge, Alnif Morocco. Size 1.5 inch 2nd one has no information. Know its from Morocco (at least very sure) Size 2 inches I know they're not perfect but at least from what I could tell they both look real. They both have decent eyes. Thanks for looking

    Moroccan Jaw

    Guess who's back I have this piece of I think a left lower jaw from either a crocodile or dinosaur. If I look at the toothsockets they are for round teeth, so crocodile (looking at the size Elosuchus?) or spinosaurid. I am leaning more towards a crocodil. Size: 18x6x2cm Thank you

    ID Moroccan Trilobite

    Good evening! My name is Max, i'm writing from Italy and i'm new (just did my presentation) This is my first topic... I want kindly ask you if it is possible to make an identification of the following trilobite. I tried to make the best photos i can with my cellphone (unfortunately i don't have any other cameras ). I give you also the information that i have on this trilobite...but i doubt about the taxonomy... Phacops rana africana Jbel Zguilma (Foum Zguid), near Alnif, Morocco Emsian, Devonian Lenght: 6.0 cm Wide: from 2.5 cm to 3.4 cm I want to say already thanks to all of you! Enjoy your weekend!
  18. I have here a 5" Spinosaurus tooth. The claim is that it has some repair to it using glue, but that it's all one tooth as opposed to a composite. If that were the case, I would be fine with it. However, I have my suspicions that it's a composite. I'd appreciate some more eyes on this!
  19. Hello! I recently saw this crocodile skull fossil at a rock shop. I understand that there are many fake croc fossils from Morocco, but I'm having trouble identifying this one. I don't see any obvious signs that are present with bad fakes, but I'm a real novice at fossil identification. Are there any red flags I'm missing? For reference, the skull is approximately 11" x 4".

    Theropod (?) vertebra

    Just bought this vertebra. Small thing, just about 4,5 cm in length. Added a 1 euro coin for size reference. Obviously the spine on top and sides are gone. It was sold as a 'unidentified' theropod (caudal) from Ifezouane Formation, Kem Kem. I was wondering if people here could come to a better ID. I suspect it might just as well be crocodilian but to be honest: I'm fine with whatever it turns out to be. Didn't pay much for it anyway. So, is this: - a dinosaur or croc? - theropod - species (?) Would love to hear your opinions!

    Books about Moroccan Trilobites?

    When or is there a book available for sale specifically on Moroccan Trilobites??
  22. I am looking for some nice, decent prized Moroccan dinosaur fossils. I can't really find any decent sellers online though, I would really appreciate it if someone could maybe PM me some contact info! Thanks in Advance!
  23. So I bought this Trilobite from what seemed to be a very reliable place, although no information was given about the species or age of the fossil, just that it came from Morocco. I’m new to fossil hunting and by no means am an expert however I heard that Moroccan Trilobites have a habit of being fake. I myself am fairly convinced it’s real, due to the fact it’s quite detailed, however as I say I’m no expert so it would be good to have someones input. If more pictures are needed please let me know. Also if you know what classification it is I’d like to know that too.

    Huge carcharodontosaurus teeth

    Hello! I am looking for buying these two great teeth of carcharodontosaurus. The seller assures that they are not restored. I think they are of good quality and have good enamel and good serrations. Do you think they are of good quality? Is it possible to get better pieces? Thank you very much for your help. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N__GZroIEmRJ2VHlUzf8YvgeQbacdhfr/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_Ft6XS2bwSgrG63tuUipBwDKM4fC-w-d/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Na_iaYfJz7w-OK8S6pqLRmp0Y8DDSmRn/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IT7SQNWcuU746VL6rGoVF_ZJrq-qotla/view?usp=drivesdk

    Love at First (Trilo)Bite.

    Greetings, experts and seekers of expertise and knowledge. I posted an image of my first trilobite, along with a mosasaurus tooth and some images from the Ventura Rock, Gem, and Fossil Show, which took place last weekend. I posted it in Member Collections because it appeared to be the best spot. However, it seemed to have very limited views and comments, so I'm posting in the world famous I.D. section. I'm relatively sure that the little trilobite was correctly labeled, but it would be nice to have comments on that from the experts. I checked it against some images at trilobite.info, and it would seem to be from the order corynexochida. Admittedly, I'm very new to scientific naming, etc. Based on the time frame and physical appearance, it looks like corynexochida to me. It also looks like it is indeed a thysanopeltella (Scutellum?), as it was labeled. So is a scutellum a member of the order corynexochida? I guess I'm just looking for confirmation on the labeling, and of overall condition, prepping, etc. I realize that I could be all washed up on most of what I just said. I claim nothing but ignorance. Many thanks in advance. Cheers.
