Paleoworld-101 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I'll pitch in a vertebrate entry: Ichthyosaurus rostrum fragment with teeth. Charmouth Mudstone Formation, Lyme Regis, UK. 195 million years old (Lower Jurassic). Found on December 17th. 2 "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Paleontologist Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I found this jaw in June but it has been with one Peat Burns until recently as he was making a cast of it. I believe it to be from an early camel, Poebrotherium sp. I also believe it to be from a young animal based on the lack of wear on the teeth. I have been doing prep work on it for the past week or so and am not quite done, but I wanted to show off a little Discovered June, 2017 Poebrotherium sp. Oligocene, 30-35 mya White River Formation, possibly Brule formation sub-unit Chadron, Nebraska 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFossil Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) I had a pretty successful December. I wasn't successful enough to put my photos and words in one post though! My effort for the invertibrate category is a Cenoceras sp. found on 8th December and prepped by my friend Mark and my vertibrate effort is an Ichthyosaur sp. paddle and scatter of ribs and verts found on 16th December. This won't be prepped for a while so is as found. Both Lower Jurassic from the Lias of Lyme Regis, UK. Approx 195myo. Good luck to all.

oldtimer Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Being close to the end of the month and loving competitions. I decided to submit my entry. This was found the first week of December in NE Oklahoma. Devonian to Carboniferous time. Just a small section was showing so I had to expose more. This is my first attempt with using an air scribe. It may not be the best and may not be done all the way. But it is something to share my accomplishment as a beginner. It looks to me like a Brachiopod and maybe one of the spirifer species. I know it can't compete with all the great finds and preps entered each month but last is better than not showing up. Date of discovery Scientific or Common name Geologic Age or Geologic Formation State, Province, or Region found Date found: Early December Name: Brachiopod indet. Age: Devonian/Carboniferous Where: NE Oklahoma Even had a crinoid stem hollow under the shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam28 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 My first mammal predator tooth as well as tooth in a jaw, seems to be from a unknown Pleistocene terrestrial predator based both on how it looks & plenty of turtle shell/ Glyptodon scutes nearby. Hopefully I can see Dr. Hulbert again at the coming up Fossil Fest in Tampa & get a better ID or at least likely candidates Discovered 12/24/17 Peace River, Pleistocene Unknown carnivore Partial Premolar/Carnassial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Slightly just on time, but here is my last-minute entry! Found this beauty during a trip with Cris & Kyle from Fossil Voyages (trip report on its way). Probably won't win the contest, especially if it is rivalling against that incredible camel jaw from @Cowboy Paleontologist !!! Congrats man, what a gorgeous specimen! Oh, and @Sacha John, Jeff sure made a good reccomendation! That is an amazing sand dollar. I'll have fun prepping the other one you found and then gave me once I am done sorting through all my material; thanks again for it!
