Another member of the forum generously helped me out with some suggestions. Just looking some final opinions before I finalize for the trip. Next week I’m going to Portugal and looking to possibly find some jurassic dinosaur material. I was thinking of going to Torres Vedras or Peniche for that. I was also told Lourinha Museum was a must see. Looking forward to that. To see footprints, I heard the saurpod track trail at Cabo Espichel is pretty cool too. Anybody have any other suggestions? Especially on where to find Jurassic dinosaur material, and the best way of getting to the places mentioned above?

Saw this on the NEWS. Frilled Shark, caught off of Portugal. Interesting teeth. Does anyone have any of these teeth fossil or otherwise?

Hello guys. These gigantic gastropods (?) were found 30 years ago near Lisbon. In a dry river. Not too much geological information to provide. The green mineral was found adjacent to the specimens. The three specimens where meters apart ones from the others. They have a brown/orange/white mineral associated in some parts. Can anyone help with the ID, please? Thanks in advance, Miguel P.S.: the Calymenid is just part of the same collection and it is, of course, from Morocco. No relation with the other fossils.

Hello, I need help to identify this tooth, found by me in a Jurassic formation in Portugal. My first thought it's Pterosaur. I wait for your opinions. The tooth have 1cm. Thanks, Filipe

GSAILL raison d' etre for this post : -classic locality -an in-depth analysis -I might be wrong,but for those who collect at/near/in this area,there's a lot of useful information in this thesis VERY NICE WHEELER DIAGRAM

This one is from Arouca, Portugal and it seems an Harpidae. Someone knows the correct ID, please? Thanks in advance, Miguel

Hello, I found this tooth in a jurassic formation (tithonian) in Torres Vedras - Portugal. It's the first time I found a tooth like this. I don't know if it's croc or maybe pliosaurus?

Dear microfossil hunting colleagues, in a sq-inch on the seafloor and the water column above dozens or thousands of microorganisms usually live and lived. In fossil rocks and samples microfossils if present do not come alone but as an assemblage of different species and many specimens. These assemblages represent the environment in which the specimens lived. Besides of the micro-organisms living on the sea-ground there maybe many planktonic ones living in the water column above. When they die, their shell/remnants sink to the seafloor and intermingle with the remnants of those, who lived on the bottom. Please find in the image an example of my work on a Miocene sample from Quelfes, Portugal. It is just a start as many more species can be found in this material. Nonetheless is already tells the story of a nearshore Miocene and nutrient rich environment. I strongly recommend you to work on your samples likewise. WORK ON THE ASSEMBLAGE ! It is the true fossil record. Picking just the big, nice looking specimens is a man-made fabricate, which gives a misleading idea about, what is really there. Respect nature as it is and appears. Get a microcell with 10 or more holes and put the assemblage sorted by morphology in it. Then you have a true picture of the assemblage, environment, and geological time of the material. Have fun with your assemblages ! Foram-Mike

Hello everyone! I'm new here so please forgive me for making any mistakes or for not thoroughly reading through other topics/sections before posting here. I went to Portugal with my family almost 3 years ago and came across a few interesting sea shells on top of the cliff leading down to the beach. I'm always intrigued and fascinated by things which have a lot of age or have a story to tell. Can anyone say or estimate how old some of these shells/fossils are? Some look a lot older than others. Edit : So it only seems to allow me to upload up to 3.95MB. One image alone is 3.5MB. Will post again with the other pictures.
