Jeffrey P started following Bone or rock in NJ Cretaceous stream?
-
There are many stones in the New Jersey Cretaceous streams whose structure suggests bone. If it isn't totally obvious that it is bone, I toss it. I do bring a number of specimens home of which I'm not sure so I can scrutinize them in better light and magnification. Most turn out to be nothing, but once in a while I'll realize I made a great find.

Is this real trilobite? Is this just fantasy?
LeoMD posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys! First things first, I've been following this forum (and this section inter alia) for a good year, I simply love the community, so I decided to join it and actively participate instead of being just an external viewer. I'm not a fossil expert, but I'm willing to learn and I'll do my best to improve. But I guess that since this is a fossil lovers community, it's fossils what you want to see. Well... I inherited from a granduncle of mine a LOT of minerals -geodes, crystals, nuggets etc- and fossils (I hope I can show you my collection over time), including ammonites -guess that guy litterally LOVED ammonites- of all shapes and sizes, dinosaur, shark and mammoth teeth, amber with insect inclusions and many many other things... including trilobites. The largest trilobite I got is this: it's a 27x17x4cm piece, not the best I've seen in my life but still pretty good IMO. No idea of where he got it, nor when, not even how much he paid for it. Still, I'm pretty sure it's a fake. But before officially confirming that my granduncle threw his money away with this, I'd like to ask you a second opinion. Thanks for your help, I'm sure he would really appreciate it (pretty sure atm he's resting in Paradise, surrounded by his beloved ammonites). (if you'd like to see more photos, just ask) -

DdWhat bone is this? It looks like the vertebra that attaches to the skull, which I thought was the basioccipital bone, but looking it up i see that the first vertebra is called the atlas, not basioccipital, which has me very confused? I looked a few places and haven’t found the connection between the 2(no pun intended:) Is the basioccipital bone PART of the atlas? I didn’t think there was anything between the skull and vertebrae. As far as the bone in question here, this IS the vertebra that connects directly to the skull, right??? ..whichever one It.

It would be awesome if it was a siphuncle, and Camroseras (or similarly large Orthocone) may be in the area. More research is needed on my part and it definitely gives me a starting point.

I thought that as well. They seem too uniform to be a burrow, but I don’t know what other trace fossil would be cylindrical. Some are definitely filled with crystals.
