britishcanuk Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Some sweet Palaeocarcharodon teeth showed up today, here are my favourite two. I especially like the top one, it reminds of Otodus, I suspect it is a fairly early example of the taxa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 These came in the mail for me today! Have always wanted some Bolivian Trilobites. All are Eldredgia venustus. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

jpenn Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I acquired this Madagascan Coelacanth inexpensively and received it yesterday. A humble piece, the nodule only preserves the anterior half and I can't identify it any further than family cf. Whiteiidae with my limited material but I'm still thrilled to have it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxmendoza Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Another of my former teeth that I was fortunate to re-acquire. Stegosaurus stenops tooth from Bone Cabin Quarry West. Late Jurassic Albany County, Wyoming 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple pig teeth from Florida and a beautiful 4 1/2" Araucaria Cone from Argentina. I think those are actually peccary teeth. Pigs and peccaries are different groups of mammals though they are related (not sure if how closely has been determined). There was a time when one dealer had a lot of these, He glued them to little plastic posts attached to lucite stands prompting a friend to refer to them as "pig on a stick." My friend bought some and then resold some. I think I still have a couple. I think they were from the Haile Quarry, the "Hog Heaven" site where the Xenosmilus holotype was found. The peccary teeth, easily the most common fossil there. show some nice color variations Your teeth look like they could have come from there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 My first time "finding" fossils in the Mailbox Formation. This is a group of trilobites I got from @MarcusFossils. Arrived safely (thanks, Marc!). This is them in a group. I'll be posting individual closeups in my trilobite gallery. With the exception of the one Ordovician trilobite in the mix, these Cambrian beauties now represent the oldest trilobites in my collection, so it was good to fill in a bit of the Cambrian gap (since it was highly unlikely I would be getting to collect in the Cambrian anytime soon). From left to right: Labiostria westropi (Unit "H" Formation, McKay Group, BC, Canada - Cambrian), Redlichia mai (Wulongqing Formation, Guanshan Biota, Chengjiang County, China - Cambrian), Colpocoryphes rouaulti (Traveusot Formation, Guichen, Îlle-et-Vilaine, Brittany, France - Ordovician), Parabolinella sp. (Unit "H" Formation, McKay Group, BC - Cambrian), Wujiajiania sp. (Unit "H" Formation, McKay Group, BC - Cambrian). - I hope I got the IDs right! EDIT: @piranha has kindly informed me that there is still some debate over the first species nomenclature as to whether it is Labiostria or Aphelaspis. I will be going with the accepted taxonomic name until if/when that changes. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
