Hello! I have seen this. The seller assures that it is completely natural and is not polished. What do you think? Is it a good piece? Thank you very much

Hi All, I have the opportunity to acquire this specimen.... just curious to know everyone's thoughts? Anything I should be wary about? As far as quality is concerned, where do you think this rates on a scale of 1-10 (10 being museum quality/exceptional track, etc., and 1 being an entirely genuine/original track but a very poor example). I'm still learning about dino tracks.... Thank you so much!

Hello, I have had a long interest in fossils and have acquired a small but very nice quality (at least in my opinion) collection over the years. I've recently become interested in dinosaur tracks/footprints and would like to add one to my collection. The thing is, I can't seem to find any anywhere that don't have staining/coloring applied to them. I understand that this makes them "easier to see" but to me it's kind of strange and detracts from the fossil. If the imprint can't be seen on its own, I don't really want it... The painting just looks a bit silly to me. I've only come across one so far that doesn't have staining on it, and it's this one here (I've included a picture below - the track itself is apparently a bit over 6 inches). But I don't know what to think about this one since the matrix seems cracked and repaired very heavily and the price is still seemingly very expensive (at least to me). I would be very interested to know anyone's thoughts on how you approach dinosaur tracks. And if you have thoughts on this specific example, I'd certainly be open to hearing that too. Thanks a lot!!

I got this from an expo today, it was collected in Gill MA and supposed to be Anomoepus. The rock is about 6 inches by 4 inches. I'm not remotely familiar with tracks so hoping someone here can verify it. Pictures are with and without flash, let me know if you need other angles or anything to ID. Thank you!

I found this near the 476 turnpike where they tore up all the ground and exposed the New Brunswick Formation. This formation is triassic. I went to a dump site where the construction company took all the rock. Is this possibly some sort of trace fossil from a lizard or sphenodontid? (If you neer to see it better flip your phone or device upside down)

from Brazos River west of Houston Texas in a sandstone cast? I am not holding my breath on this one could this be a partial track?

Real or fake

The Green River Formation is one of the most well-known fossil sites in the world, occupying present-day Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. This Lagerstätte has been noted for its well-preserved fish fossils, as well as numerous invertebrates, plants, and sometimes even reptiles and birds. Green River fossils are Eocene-aged, at 53.5 to 48.5 million years old. Thankfully, not only are Green River fossils attractive, they also remain affordable to the casual collector. Allow me to present my humble collection. Crocodile tooth Borealosuchus sp. Southwest Wyoming Water bird tracks (possibly sandpipers or plovers) Presbyorniformipes feduccii Vernal, Utah Bird feather Aves indet.

I found this in Austin Texas near a gravel bar. Any thoughts?

Hi! My friend went to a museum and sent me a picture of this fossilized footprint. He said that they don't know what it is from. Does anyone have an idea?

Hello, this is a part 2 of my last thread with some of my other finds that I've found this at a site in new jersey where some footprints have been found from the Late Triassic/Early Jurassic, I am unsure about if these are footprints of sorts, any help will be appreciated thank you!

Hi It is horseshoe crab track fossil?

I stumbled across this today on a hike in SE Colorado. At first I wrote this off as just a neat natural shape in the rock but after closer inspection it has my curiosity peaked. the darker yellow area around it is also raised about 1/4 in. What do you all think?

Hi I was wondering if this footprint looks legit to everyone. It's allegedly a imprint and outprint of a Anchisauripus. I won it in a auction but I don't have it in hand yet so these are the best photos I have at the moment. Does it look like the real deal or should I be concerned? Thanks for any help

Hi, Last month I was browsing an estate auction, saw this footprint and without knowing anymore, since the price seemed reasonable I bought it.... I mean, never seen a "dino track" available. At least something new in the collection. The old man i bought it from, told me that if he remember well, he geot it from "someplace in the northeast" (a 80 something year old kid who was downsizing all his home), that´s all. If someone has an idea of where it could come from and what it could be I´ll appreciate it. Luis

Hello Please could you tell me what made these tracks? They are imprinted in the rock and on close inspection the track is a continuous line with horizontal lines rather like a worm has on its body. The imprinted trail meanders randomly across one square metre of rock. You can see the width of it compared with my finger in the image. It is on the Northumberland coast in England on a beach that has remains of petrified trees from prehistory. If the tracks were made by a type of prehistoric worm - what is the name of it, when would it have lived and what would its environment have been like? Thank you very much.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me identify this. Found near Corry, PA (NW PA) in a stream bed. Bedrock in the area is U. Devonian & Mississippian, rock type is SS or conglomerate. I realize land animals were not present in the Devonian, so I'm thinking its Mississippian. Is this a track fossil or something else? If it is a track, does anyone know what could have made it? It seems like something relatively heavy may have depressed the sediment (I tried to show the depth with a dime), and it wouldn't just be a twig or leaf.

Hi all, sorry if this topic has already been made, but I couldn't find any threads teaching how to properly paint out fossil trackways. Basically I have a piece of Green River matrix with some bird tracks on it. As the depressions are very faint, i intend to darken the tracks the same way people often do for Grallator trackways. Any recommendation on the paint or material or method used? Thanks.
