Got back last night from a paddle on the Peace River and these are some of the unknowns I was hoping to get some help with. I am still totally new at this and my best guess for number 1 was maybe part of a manatee tooth?roughly 1/2 inch in length and height 2. some sort of mammal tooth possibly with missing inner enamel ? 3. some sort of vertebrate; its the smallest one I have ever found , curious about what species it might be from. Also it's so cute ! ( have yet to see anyone else on the forum think fossils are cute , but this thing is adorable )

Zarafasaura oceanis (=Plesiosaurus mauritanicus) vertebra?
Psittacosaur9 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone! Final thread for today. I'm going to start posting fossils individually, to gain more traction on the forum. I'll post a few fossils I am worried are fake or composite today, then repost any fossils I have yet to receive identification for with higher-quality images in about a week. Anyways, I purchased this Zarafasaura oceanis verterbra, which was labelled as 'Plesiosaurus mauritanicus', from a museum reasonably cheaply. It looks and feels real to me, but I feel a bit paranoid and would like a second opinion. Do others on the forum think that the verterbra is real? Thanks for all the help!

I am pretty sure the larger two are vertebra but not sure about the third. No clue what creatures they are from. Appreciate the help as always.

Hey all, I acquired a large box of bones from the Kem Kem beds of Morocco. I don’t have information on them besides that. I suspect a large number of these are crocodilian, but there’s an assortment of other things as well. All told there’s probably 60-90 bones in the box, so I’m going to avoid putting too many in a post. All measurements are in inches. set A: set B: set C: set D: set E: Thanks all for any help!

It's from Kansas and is Late Cretaceous age.

Just picked this up for my granddaughter from an online estate auction. No idea where or when it was found so no help there. Hoping that someone here can identify it.

Authentic Kem Kem Fossils? Composites?
eurichhhh posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! I'm a new member and I was hoping I could get some second opinions on some Kem Kem fossils I'm thinking about purchasing. I've only collected American species, and have been recently interested in bones out of the Kem Kem beds. I've stayed away thus far because of the stories of composite fossils and Frankenstein pieces, but I've come across a couple that I thought were interesting and fairly priced. Was hoping I could get some other thoughts before moving on any of them (wanna make sure they aren't composites or areas of fill look weird). I've attached pictures of three specimens I'm looking at. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 1) Spinosaurus Vertebra 2) Spinosaurus Rib I think this one is what it is, prep work doesn't look the best, but just wanted confirmation I guess. 3) Carcharadontosaurus vertebra (transverse processes) I was wondering if I could get help on confirming the id on this one, not really sure what carcharadontosaur vertebrae are supposed to be like. Centrum is missing, not sure if that's important for the id.

I found this fossil in Eastern WA (Pasco, WA, Benton County) in areas of the flood basin near the white bluffs in the hills along the Columbia river. It's from the Ice Age as my father who is a geologist said thats the era it's from with the layer of earth, and he was thinking it would be maybe from a camelops, bison, giant sloth or some other medium sized animal. But as I was looking at pictures of bones of these animals I couldn't figure it out. None of the vertebre seem to match this one. I'd love help ID-ing this fossil vertebra please. If you need better images please let me know, I've used a ruler in some of the pictures.
