    I would say yes! I think we need a land owner, a small group and a few loads of fun. Plenty to share!

    More goodies from my pile. I think I need to start selling some

    Possible Vertebra in Upstate NY

    Honeymayoon posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Found this on the shore of the Hudson River near Albany, NY. Hoping this is a fossil protruding out and not just a rock! Thanks🙂 IMG_1056.MOV

    Guess it will be a bit expensive to deliver to New Zealand
  6. Kimber
    I think I've figured it out. It's called Bank Run Shell Roadbase. Sold by the truck load.

    Wow, there is some beautiful stuff in here for sure! Do you know where it comes from? Sometimes these spoil piles really produce the goods.

    Well that is much cooler than I imagined. Thank you for the help.

    Thoughts on this vertebra? Found in a box of bison bones from Sherburne County Minnesota. Anoka Sand Plain materials - roughly 6k years old.

    Hello, I recently went to Savannah, Georgia to fossil hunt on an island on the Savannah river. I found a very diverse assemblage of fossil vertebrate material which included shark and ray teeth, fossil dolphin material, bone fragments, and even a baby Megalodon tooth, the last thing I found before we were to head back. I found at least 61 fossils but here are my best examples:

    Needs ID Possible Tusk Outer Bark Fragment.

    dbrake40 replied to dbrake40's topic in Fossil ID

    @Shellseeker - Thank you so much for the detailed answer! I also sent some photos of this to Dick Mol (Sir Mammoth) or the Netherlands. He indicated that it does seem to be a piece of the outer layer, and stated that "visible in the cross-section, is cementum and not dentin (ivory)" So to me this indicates that the outside of a tusk has cementum layers. I am going to e-mail him back and see if anyone has ever published on the topic. I think the photo you provided, below, shows these layers best.

    Your mystery item is an orthocone. You can see the septa and siphuncle.

    Suchomimus Tooth?

    M3gal0don_M4n replied to Barykeri's topic in Fossil ID

    Definitely a suchomimus. Great quality!

    Thank you ! I stumbled into the pot of gold. It was crazy luck. Who knew a truck load of dirt would be hiding so many treasures.

    I'm also very impressed. Quite the awesome collection. A number of those fossil shells are truly magnificent. Love the crystals too. Big congrats and thanks for sharing.

    Fossil Geode

    Harry Pristis replied to Bootsuki's topic in Fossil ID

    I think these geodes continue to grow in size as long as depositional conditions are right. That is, as long as SiO2 continues to be available and the limey matrix remains soft. Quartz crystals are incidental, forming in any void in the geode.

    Hi everyone. Here is a trip report from a recent visit to the Liberty formation in Indiana. I almost exclusively hunted the "butter shale". I made a 3.5 hour drive from Illinois and hunted for approximately five hours. Feel free to drop some IDs if you know them offhand. this is my first time hunting this area so im relatively unfamiliar with the flora. Here is a picture of most of my finds before cleaning: I'll start with the trilobites. I did not do as well as I had hoped in this department, but I did manage to get a few. My best trilobite was about 75% complete and only about half an inch long. I somehow managed to lose that little guy along the way, as he wasnt in my bag when I got home. As for the trilobites that made it home, here are some pieces: Next are some brachiopods. I just want to say how happy I am to have found this first one. It is in such good condition and I love the shape of it: Here are some more images of a few brachiopods I cleaned up. This does not reflect all the brachiopods I found, but shows a good representation of what is present in this formation. Here is one of many horn corals just because: And here is something I do not have an ID on. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks for looking. If I return back the this site, my fingers are still crossed for rolled trilobite!

    Is this a Horn Shark heterodontus anterior tooth? The tooth has the main cusp and two lateral cusplets with circular base. Small in size – 2mm across. Found in the Upper Eocene – Ocala Limestone Formation – location in Sumter County, Florida. Thank you.

    I found a few more pieces of what I thought was crocodile at first but now I'm not so sure. Then started thinking could be drum fish part but the photos I seen looked a bit different. So thought I'd ask. They are from north carolina. #1 (top) #2 (bottom)

    Hey, I happened to have come into contact with some nice folks in Northwest Missouri and they were wondering what finds they were collecting off the local river near Iowa but on the Missouri side. They have found Mastodon and mammoth bones/teeth along the same river but as I am a Pennsylvanian invertebrate fossil hunter this is out of my expertise. I could only give basic answers and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on IDs and ages. Some images I took while the rest were taken by them. Ill start off with this highly weathered Mammoth/possible mastodon vert (Dont know if Ids can go further on if it's Mammoth or Mastodon): I posted this elsewhere and was suggested Cow Humerous with butcher marks? Modern Horse Mamilary? https://ibb.co/KV54V87 Bison or Cow Scapula? not sure on age Bison Atlas vert? ??? https://ibb.co/LZ4gSgn Modernish jaw? Edit: Sorry these were meant to be on another post, I assume this is a badly weathered stigmaria Root cast? still weird whatever it was. Not removing it here as some people might have already seen it.

    I’ve become very interested in biogenic agate. Below are pictures of two agate slabs that I received this week from Indonesia. These pictures show the myriad of inclusion colors and shapes/structures, which I believe are the direct result of a large number of different bacteria types at work in these agates. Red Moss/Plume Agate Slab, Garut, west Java, Indonesia (68 grams 2.875x1.625x.375 to .5 inches): Moss Agate Slab, Ternate, North Maluku, Indonesia (77 grams 3.25x2.25x.25 to .31 inches): Marco Sr.
