Mary888 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This fossil sample has come from Kazakhstan~ Could you identify this fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Rugose coral. I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 @FossilDAWG @TqB Maybe something like Syringopora, or Siphonodenron??

FossilDAWG Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Do you know the age and source geological formation for the specimen? It is not a Syringopora, as the coralites have well developed flat tabulae. However there are many many possibilites and generally to distinguish them would require good thin sections showing transverse and longitudinal sections. Knowing the geological source could narrow down the possibilities considerably. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I agree with Don, we really need the age of the specimen. If Carboniferous, then it probably is a Siphonodendron (which certainly occurs in Kazakhstan). But there are other Palaeozoic possibilities (it is a rugose coral as Rockwood said). 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary888 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thank you, Rookwood, Tim (Fossildude19), Don (FossilDAWG), and Tarquin (TqB) for your help~^^* I've asked to him who has this fossil whereabouts in Kazakhstan this fossil has been excavated~ I will let you know as soon as he answers~ Another person has quite a similar fossil in a different rock~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Also rugose coral. You guessed it. I'm a generalist who gets things started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary888 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thank you again~^^* The first specimen might have been excavated in Chimkent (aka Shymkent), Kazakstan. ------------------------------- And I personally excavated these bone fossils in the shale of Jinju Formation in South Korea where early Cretaceous Sauropod bone fragment fossils were reported. Could you also identify these bone fragments as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Sorry,but I'm not seeing bone here. I suspect it may be an oddly shaped limestone nodule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary888 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well, at least two framents are definitely bone fossils which show the bone texture even though the photos might not revel that clearly... Anyway, thank you for your kindness~^^* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Still doesn't look like bone to me. Wait for more opinions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary888 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yes, definitely we need an opinion from a professional dinosaur paleontologist~^^* The specimen is protruding out of the shale~ And here is another photo of other supposed bone fragment~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Not sure I can be of any help I'm not seeing bone or anything diagnostic to make any determination of what it is. If it is bone it's to fragmented to determine what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary888 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 That is so true that these supposed bone fossils are too fragmented to be identified.... Hope somebody could give some answers or opinions about these~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope somebody could give some answers or opinions about these~ Troodon was your best shot, as he is our fossil dinosaur expert. You might consider taking it to a local museum or university.

Mary888 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thank you ~^^* I think I should show this fossil to one of the dinosaur paleontologists in Korea soon~ Have a joyful rest of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
