@ynot So mean :P

Fine:

-Two Megalania verts from the Pleistocene of Australia

-Associated set of verts and ribs from a juvenile Diprotodontid from the Pleistocene of Aus. One vert has a bite mark on the underside.

-Undescribed croc jaw from the Pleistocene of Aus 

-Unknown claw from the Pleistocene of Aus...no one has any idea what it is, though. I've heard croc, bird, and tortoise.

-Palorchestes sp. jaw from the Pleistocene of Aus

-Torynomma quadrata crab from the Cretaceous of Aus

 

Told you I had too many :P

To keep this thread going, here are items that I did not find personally.

 

From Alaska, possibly a fossil walrus tusk (age undetermined). The colors on this ivory are really beautiful. This has handed down from a fossil mentor of mine years ago.

The next is a Grallator print from Mass. Though the print is very nice, the nomenclature on it is the real prize for me. It was collected in 1941 by Micro Paleontologist Jesse James Galloway, who in 1916 was the Curator of Paleontology at Columbia University and later a Professor at the University of Indiana and Research Director of Paleontology at the Indiana Department of Conservation.

I had to ... my Christmas present to myself.  A ridiculous C. angustidens tooth from the Charleston, SC area.  The cusps are wicked cool ... the polish at the end that the seller added was meh, but overall it's sweet.

Whoa, there are some really cool fossils here!

Anyways I'm also gonna come in and show you my favorite: an unidentified lobster from Lyme Regis, UK (Lower Lias, early Jurassic).

This is the first "valuable" fossil I ever found, and it is with no doubt my favorite! I found it a few years back, when my love of fossils was just starting.

Deltadromeus agilis tooth
 

This one is a problematic id. There's no skull material yet of this enigmatic dinosaur. This tooth could be Rugops sp. instead. We see many teeth sold in fossil shops incorrectly labelled as Deltadromeus when they are more commonly Carch. Real Deltadromeus teeth are approx 1.5 - 2 inches long, narrow, and laterally compressed. Their serrations are also rounder and more uneven than Carch teeth.

I'll repost this picture of one of my favourite fossils.  Caridosuctor populosum, a coelacanth from the Carboniferous of Montana, Bear Gulch to be exact.

The color on that Mako is amazing! The yellow-ish color on the root, and the color of the blade, no wonder this is one of your favorites!

Nearly 2 years ago I had the grand opportunity to search a closed down mosaic phosphate mine with the Tampa fossil club (& apparently mosaic won't allow club hunts any more). Won't forget that day for the rest of my life, nor the weight of the moment when I saw the meg tip sticking out of the ground.

Nice meg! It is a great feeling when you spy a tooth hidden in the debris!

A good number of the teeth at the Ernst Ranch have that pinkish tint that the crown has.  The yellowish color comes from a small amount of residual bone bed matrix on the root.

Very cool!  And very skillful, that is not an easy thing to knit.
