Hi there! In my excitement to open a box of fossils gifted to me, I mixed up a couple of labels - hopefully someone out there can help me fix my mix-up @piranha The labels are Paleolenus lanlenoisi and Yunnanocephalus yunnanensis - both from the Lower Cambrian of Yunnan, China. Photo #1: Photo #2: Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Just interested in the opinions of these Oviraptor Eggs I saw in a gallery They say they are from Nanxiong China, with minimal restoration. They look real to me especially with all the detailing on the shells and they are very heavy. The gallery seems to be reputable but I wanted to see what people on here thought.

Someone is selling this fossil at auction, saying they don’t know what it is, but it might be a lobopodian. Any ideas?

Hello, I have been offered a skull--from Ganzhou. Am I correct in that it is a Jeholosaurus skull? Or at least that it is an ornithopod. I checked photos and the overall blunt shape looks similar to Jeholosaurus. I will likely have other photos soon. It also comes with some crushed/badly conditioned bones. Seller himself is unsure of the species. I do see though multiple different skull shapes online which are labelled Jeholosaurus---ones with more elongated snouts, ones with this stubby snouts. Thanks for the help.

What is this thing? It looks like a platypus worm with spines coming out of its head. It’s from the Maotianshan Shale in Yunnan, China. What is it?

The collector who I buy my Chinese pterosaur fossils from gave me some info about Psitaccosaurus fossils since I inquired about one he had. I thought I will share it here in case anybody is considering thinking about buying one. He isn't a commercial seller--a collector who sells fossils he finds and on behalf of fossil collectors, who I hope it doesn't break the rules of discussing sellers to post what he informed me. Think it's useful for people to know "The Psittacosaurus fossil. Please always remember that you get what you pay for. Most Psittacosaurus are chucked together. It is impossible to get a complete one now. So, worker would keep all pieces and when they can make up a complete body, they will do it easily. We can't judge it just from the pictures." So, it seems that they are all composited over a period of time, to such an extent that it is very difficult to tell the difference. He also sent two photos which I have also attached showing composited Psitaccosaurus which, to my eye look very well done.

Hi Would love some thoughts on this. Not the best condition, but unusual. A fossil hand. 7cm long from.end to tip From a place called Aronqi, Neimemgu Province (Inner Mongolia) Jehol Biota. Arongqi is also called Arun Banner. The long finger is curious. I thought amphibian-- could it be frog foot? Thanks as always

I live in NYC, and it was a real treat to see a street fair pop up on Broadway after all this covid stuff. Looked like the city was finally back to normal, including rock shop tents selling crystals and fossils off the sidewalk. I wish I'd taken a photo of the fossils, but this seller had four Claudiosaurus fossils that were obviously painted onto the matrix with a bit of dremel work to give them dimension. Price tag: a lot. Gotta be careful out there, friends. I've learned to be so wary from you guys, especially @Troodon.

A tooth of early tyrannosauroidea members from northern China
Agent_Zigzag posted a topic in Member Collections
Greetings! This is my first share on this forum. I was looking through my collections, and one thing popped my mind was this tooth -- a tooth of Xiongguanlong baomoensis，which i found in 2014 but I could not give a very conclusive identification until earlier this year. I was lucky enough to travel along with a group of scientists into the Gobi desert in Northern China. That day we was traveling in the border zone of three different provinces, basically middle of nowhere. This basin is where most dinosaur from Gansu found -- including X. baomoensis, Auroraceratop rugosus, Lanzhousaurus magnidens, etc. I found two dozen of borken teeth on a random hill. In the beginning I thought those teeth could be either iguanadon, hadrosaurus or some crocodilians. After collecting them and bringing them back to Beijing, I went focusing on other real-life project (preparing for college, preparing for grad-school, etc.). It became a memory sealed in attic and lost until I was re-examining the crocodilian fossils I found from the same trip. Then my eyes fell on this tooth, which I recalled seeing similar teeth from the Lanzhou Geological Mesuem and labelled X. baimoensis. After a further comparing with other teeth from the same clade in museums in China, I am certain that this tooth could belongs to X. baomoensis. X. baomoensis is one of the most mysterious member of the superfamily Tyrannosauroidea, and only thing I could be sure that they could grow larger than the specimen preserved in Lanzhou -- for I found a large theropodian matatarsal from the same site and it's certainly larger than the skeleton they demonstrates. I put it somewhere in my mountains of boxes, please allows me some time to look for it.

Greetings everyone! I am a fossil hunter and a graduate student from Beijing, China. Most fossils I collected is from the Mesozoic sediments in China, composing dinosaurs, crocodilians, turtles, fishes, invertebrates and plants. I do possess some other fossils, including mammal teeth from cave sediments in Southern China. The following picture is a fragment of a theropodian dinosaur from Yunnan, China -- not a recent photo, dated back to 2017. Nice to meet you guys.

Another Keichousaurus! What do you think? :)
Cap Spaulding posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys I'm new here! Hope to find everybody well! I just want to ask for your feedback around a specimen of Keichousaurus I'm nearly to buy. What do you think? Does it seems real and legit to you? Many thanks for your kind feedback. Cap

Hello Am I right that these are bird teeth? Yixian, China, Jehol Biota. Dawangzhangzi Bed. I have looked at pictures of Hell Creek bird teeth and they have a similar, triangular shape and two points at the bottom, which makes me think bird. Though, at almost 1cm it seems large for a bird tooth. From what I can see, Yixian birds are much smaller. And this tooth is even larger than Avisaurus. If not a bird, could it be a fish? Though, again nothing described seems to fit.

Hello, Anyone able to help with a China tooth? It is from GanZhou, Nanxiong Formation,. It is in shakey condition, unfortunately. 6cm, with a tip missing. Unfortunately, condition is a bit poor and serrations (if any) are buried. in matrix still. But, perhaps the shape is familiar. Any help is appreciated.

Dear forum, I've visited recently the magnific endless expositions of the Naturistorisches Museum Wien (Vienna natural history museum). Almost all fossils were identified here, but there are some that don't. Usually I don't photograph the latter ones but this one was exciting for me as it belongs to a group of insects (still extant) that I like a lot. The fossil come from Liaoning, China. Size is about the same than modern-day Bittacus. Any suggestion of genus and species, please? Thanks!

Hey everyone, Via via I've bought this partial dinosaur raptor skeleton from the Jiangxi formation, China. Comes from an old collection. There is no more information than it being Jiangxi formation, and it exists of multiple pieces. We've got some bones, a claw, and a row of teeth. The big matrix with the claw and the partial skull + bones measures about 14 X 13 cm. Would anyone have a clue on the species of this Dino? If there is any more information you'll guys need, let me know

This Sinrapter is from Liaoning, China. It looks like it has been preserved very well. Any idea if it is a genuine one?

The sales description for this insect was mosquito, but I don't think it is. Looking in collections (insects) it has resemblance to stonefly. can someone tell if i'm right? or what inscto could it be? 1 ctm Upper Jurassic. Daohugou Formation. Inner Mongolia - Ningcheng - China. @oilshale

So, the fellow who I get some of my China pterosaur teeth from has offered me this fossil among a few other worn/battered/partial teeth. He can't place it--says it is possibly a tooth of some kind. It is Jurassic age, from GuangYian City, SiChuan Province. Unfortunately, he doesn;'t know which of the two formations from there it is from. There are two--Shaximiao which is a terrestrial formation and Zhenzhuchong which is mainly marine but has had prosauropod (Lufengosaurus found there). Unfortunately it is in quite a poor condition--but I am hoping someone may recognise it at least similar to others, so I can get an idea if it is a hadrosaur, prosauropod etc. I am wondering if it could be a worn and battered ornithopod tooth--there are a few from Shaximiao.

Sweet Chinese Jurassic Fossil Cockroach from NJ Fossil Show
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I just posted on some fake fossil insects out of China at a show. It seems only fair that I post on an inexpensive nice find I got at the show from the famous Daohugou site in inner Mongolia in China. They are sold as both positive and negative. Check it out. Just remarkable preservation.

I went to a local fossil show and saw some highly priced insects too good to be true. They were. Some were done quite well but my $15 30X loupe (magnifying glass) really made the fakes obvious. I took these pics at the show. Pic 1 is presumably a Neuroptera on matrix. Pic 2 is the same Neuroptera though the loupe and you can see it is an obvious forgery. It has been painted. Pic 3 is an obvious painted insect on a piece with 2 cretaceous Lycoptera fish, raising its selling price at least 50 fold. The abdomen in this case is especially badly done. Pic 4 is a different kind of fake, it is an Odonata that has been finely printed onto the matrix. With the loupe, I can clearly see the pixels of ink, but I couldn't get a convincing picture at the show. Walk softly and carry a big......................loupe. sorry, pics are not in the order I uploaded them, but you can figure it out
