Good evening folks. I am requesting a verification/confirmation for a tooth I purchased over 10 years ago listed as Platybelodon, Miocene, Gansu, China. It measures 7cm long, 4.2cm wide and 6.3cm tall.

Hi, This skull (photographed on display at a museum in China) is labeled on Wikimedia Commons as Zygolophodon, but it's unclear what species of Mammutidae it represents. It could be an Asian species of Zygolophodon, or it could be Miomastodon gobiensis or another Asian Miomastodon species. Anyone curious what species the skull represents?

Late Cretaceous marine sites in China
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hey Would anyone know of Late Cretaceous fossil sites in China that are similar to 'typical' Late Cretaceous marine sites in Europe/North America? Like places where one can find ammonites, sea urchins, shark teeth and mosasaur fossils... Thanks for any help! Christian -
A new pterosaur, Luchibang xingzhe, is reported from the Early Cretaceous of China It's represented by an excellently-preserved, nearly complete juvenile skeleton. There are even patches of soft tissue! This specimen gives more insight into the anatomy and ecology of Istiodactylidae, an Early Cretaceous pterosaur family known from China and England. Here's the paper describing the specimen (full text, no paywall): https://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2020/2931-a-new-istiodactylid-pterosaur And here's a post written by one of the authors (Dave Hone), describing all the twists and turns they went through to get the research published: https://archosaurmusings.wordpress.com/2020/03/10/ten-years-in-the-making-of-luchibang/

Some fossils from Middle Cambrian Balang Formation, Hunan

Archotuba sp. (7cm) Anomalocaris frontal appendage (size: 3cm) Tuzoia retifera Walcott, 1912 Isoxy auritus Tuzoia sinensis Pan, 1957 (size: 4cm) -
This large mosasaur tooth was imported from Morroco to China. It's pretty big but I found the root a bit strange, the root looks like it's carved from the matrix, is the tooth/root real?
-
I believe it’s a feeding appendage. I’ve been told it’s an anomalocaradid feeding appendage, but i don’t remember any of the anoms iv seen having anything quite like that. I can’t remember ever seeing it in context, although feeding appendage definitely seems right.

This pair of coelacanths is from Luoping, Yunnan. Is it a Luopingcoelacanthus species? It measures about 28cm in length.

Good evening folks. I have an unidentified fossil plant from Yunnan (suspect), China and is lacking any additional information. The plant leaf/stem section is 30mm wide x 35mm tall. Hoping someone in TFF knows what it is.

I once in awhile check out the auction sites just to see what is posted. I do buy things once in awhile but very rarely. Today I was checking out some fossil fishes from china. Lots of the common fish, Lycoptera davidi being posted. All looked really good! Too good! I used that magnifier thingy and took a closer look. To me it was painfully obvious that the fins were painted. Buyer beware!!! and good luck RB

Good morning folks. I am requesting confirmation or correction assistance concerning this tooth described as Konobelodon(?) tooth, Miocene from the Linxia Basin of China. I am wondering if it could be a Amebelodon, Platybelodon or Choerolophodon. Help please.

Good evening folks. I just received an order of fossils from China and haven't opened it yet. Took it out of my mailbox with a rag (which I immediately threw away) and put the package in a large baggie. The fossils did not come from an infected location but I have no idea about the shipping trail / process. The only thing I know about viruses is to avoid people and things that might have been exposed. Am I being overly concerned?

I went to a construction site near a big lake (Dian lake 滇池) at Kunming, China (Although this city is famous for Cambrian fossil) This place is going to construct some apartments. A lot of workers pass by without realizing they are trace fossil. it's geological map is: from https://www.osgeo.cn/map/m02db the location is around: from IOS's map So it suppose be from Quaternary, right? (but I am not sure if lake trace fossil can produce trace fossil like below) And I found some trace fossil: and some other stuff i am not so sure: and last picture is ripple mark If it is from the lake, that would be a nice vacation place in summer!
