richfossil Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hi there, I inherited a few specimens from my late grandfather and unfortunately did not know of the collections existence until after he had passed and as a result do not know any of history or where they were found/purchased. I would be very grateful for any information anyone could provide on any of the potential fossils. Thanks! Apologies for any issues in uploading as it's my first post. I also weighed the specimens if that's of any help: #1 (178grams), #2 tooth (2grams) #3 (116grams) #4 spherical specimen (224grams) #5 (89grams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I will take a stab at it. Although, without locality or age information it will be difficult to put anymore than a vague identification on them. 1. Bone 2. Mosasaur tooth 3. Petrified wood 4. ? ( moqui ball? ) 5. Mosasaur vertebra P.S. weight really doesn't help too much for ID purposes as items will differ with size, state of preservation, type of mineralization, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilsonwheels Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Could 1 be a hunk of Ceratopsian frill perhaps ? I have one that looks quite similar to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfossil Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks a lot for the input, I know it's a big tricky going off of just photos alone! Very interesting that it could be potentially be a Ceratopsian frill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
