Oh man I'm so sorry I waited till I was 100 miles away to post about it!! I've had it for about 5 years and is one of my most treasured possessions, the tooth itself is like a dentist removed it! It's 100% complete, the entire root is intact, you can clearly see like growth rings or the grain of the tooth on one side in particular, that distinctive curved canine tip that can only be Tassie tiger. I knew what it was the moment I saw it...Ive probably teased enough I'm very sorry not long to wait...i will post pics hopefully Monday or Tuesday next week. Really happy to have people interested in it cheers guys

Now I read your post over again I think I understand it is a DP4 Tooth, Thank you @Harry Pristis! -
This one is a little beauty. I like!
-
So would that make it a P3? I can't seem to find one that looks like these.
-
First I've ever found. What do you think?
-
Sorry, I'm not sure if it's metamorphic or igneous rock, but it's not a fossil.
-
Good point. Modern roots are good at finding cracks in shale.

Hi, Yesterday I found an unusual rock at our local beach and I think it might be a fossil. The lighter parts are raised from rest of stone. But being a beach rock it is quite smooth and worn in general. The size is about 5.8cm by7.7cm by15.3 cm. Banana in photos for scale. I'll also include screen shots of GPS cords and satellite of exact location I found it. Thanks in advance!

Anything wrong about this rooted Mosasaur tooth ?
LordWampa replied to Brevicollis's topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I think it's a real tooth with real crown still attached. But I don't see why this would be a beaugei tooth, I don't see any faceting. I think it's a prognathodontini tooth, so probably T. atrox. Let's see what others think. -
Spider, very nice. There are some known from florissant when you search in the net with "fossil spider florissant" you can see some RobertsEtAl2008_GSA_SpiderMorphometrics.pdf

The plant material looks like modern roots. You sure they are IN the rock, and not ON the rock? The first sure looks like a spider to me. Cropped and brightened:

Anything wrong about this rooted Mosasaur tooth ?
Brevicollis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I saw this moroccan Mosasaur tooth on auction today and im really interested in bidding for it. But before I do this, I wanted to ask for your opinions on it, if you see any plaster which im not able to spot here, and the exact species, as its labeled as Mosasaurus beauigei, but im want this to be confirmed or refuted. Its 11 cm in length , and it was found in Khouribga@Praefectus,@pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon

Fin Lover replied to FossilizedJello's topic in Member Collections
I love the odontocete teeth. I believe it's most likely not a squalodon in SC. Where in SC did you find it? https://coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2016/12/?m=1 -
The first one looks like Petrodus but I think they are only found in the Pennsylvanian.

Trilobite of the week #376 is Piltonia kuehnei of Mississippian age (Tournaisian Stage) from the Lemay quarry at Antoingi-Vaulx, Belgium. There is a lot of missing shell on this bug. I'd like a better quality Piltonia, but they are scarce.

Any tips on sifting without hurting your back?
Yoda replied to TRexEliot's topic in General Fossil Discussion
There must be some exercises that one can do to improve the strength of your back and core muscles, and reduce the chance of back ache. Perhaps a physio could help with that -
Is this Keichousaurus real?
Brevicollis replied to Js25's topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Its definitly real, I think a faker would just paint one on the surface, and wouldnt go that deep. But like on most Keichou specimen, the preparation done on this one appears to be not to be the best.- 2 replies
