I found this specimen along with some other fossils during a fossil hunt. This vertebra is very peculiar and unique, due to its small size, and it’s composition. It is completely permineralized by hematite, making it feel much heavier than the average rock. It almost feels like a chunk of metal. Probably belongs to one of the endemic hadrosaur species of the Cerro del Pueblo Formation, such as Velafrons coahuilensis, or Latirhinus uitstlani.

Dear fossilfans, Could anyone have a look at this Oviraptor egg from China? Is it 100% real, and how much should I pay at maximum? Thank you for helping me out -

Is the new, biggest dinosaur Sauroposeidon?
Daniel Fischer posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello, today I heard in the radio about a new dinosaur discovery in Argentina, they only found pelvic bones but they say it may be the biggest dinosaur ever discovered. I immediately thought about the Sauroposiedon, which is the tallest dinosaur, but only known by 4 bones. These dinosaurs are both massive sauropods that are known only from a few fossils. I thought that maybe they are the same dinosaur so I looked at a map of the early Cretaceous, compared to a map of the world toady and saw that these dinosaurs lived in different places without any access to each other. But I still have hope, the map I looked at is not accurate at all. So I would like to hear your opinion's about this whole thing, and if you know of a good recreation of the early Cretaceous map, please tell me. The new discovery is in Argentina, and the Sauroposeidon was discovered in Oklahoma.- 3 replies

Heyy, I have this part of a bone. It looks like the proximal half of a femur? It looks a bit to straight to be a femur of a crocodile, anyone agree? Does anyone know to look in what direction? Measurements: 80x29x21mm Kemkem beds Morocco. Gr Yasmin

I have this piece, crocodile?, which I think is a part of a vertebra?. It looks like the are zygapophyses visable and I think the grove should be the neuralcanal. But I am not sure, con someone shine a light on it? Measurements: 70x60x36mm Thank you

I found this interestingly pitted piece of bone in Wyoming's Lance formation over the summer and my initial thoughts were ankylosaurian osteoderm. I've been wrong in the past with various Ceratopsid skull elements deceiving me, but I am hopeful to add this to my comparatively short list of remains from these living tanks. I'd appreciate any feedback from my fellow forum members. Dimensions are about 8 cm in length, 5 cm in width, ~3 cm in depth.

Hi dear all, i would like to have your opinion on this tooth for I am looking for a birthday gift for myself. ;-) Acording to the seller it is a Timurlengia from the Bissekty Formation in Uzbekistan. It was found in the Kyzylkum desert. I have seen some other Timurlengia from Uzbekistan here in the forum and they were much darker... What would you say? Thanks in advance!

I know the cretaceous period ended 65-66 million years ago but when exactly did it end? Did it end as soon as the meteor touched the Earth's surface? As soon as all dinosaurs went extinct? After a certain amount of species went extinct? There may not be a definitive answer but if it was up to you where would you decide where the end of the cretaceous meets the beginning of the paleogene?

Stabilized with Butvar B-76; repaired using an unspecified cyanoacrylate. Identified by Dr. Alexander Averianov as a sacral vertebrae of a juvenile Levnesovia transoxiana. The specimen is either from Dzarakuduk or an excavation near the city of Uchkuduk many years back.

Found in a wash of an Upper Cretaceous formation in the Four Corners area of the United States. I guess it is some sort of fossilized egg but would like a second opinion. In the formation, fossils from former terrestrial, aquatic and arboreal life is routinely found. The specimen is 6.3 cm long, and due to some compression at the time of fossilization is sort of shaped like a Brazil nut around its middle.

I'm trying to help someone ID this vertebra found in Gloucester, UK a few years ago. It's from a Jurassic site and I'm pretty sure it's a theropod vertebra but was wondering if anyone on the forum could help out? I have a theropod tooth from the same place which I might post soon in the hope of narrowing down an ID too. Thanks in advance!

Hello Here I have two bones. I think one is an ulna? Maybe turle, but I don't have any experience with turtles. It looks like a juvenil bone, I have the feeling that there should be joints but they are not there (not fused?). The second one I also have no exprience with. The cortical layer is so ridiculusly thin... It is so light and hollow, I don't know with what to compair it. Ulna? measurements: 131x32x18mm Hollow bone measurements: 97x30x20mm Thank you for any information

Guess who's back I have this piece of I think a left lower jaw from either a crocodile or dinosaur. If I look at the toothsockets they are for round teeth, so crocodile (looking at the size Elosuchus?) or spinosaurid. I am leaning more towards a crocodil. Size: 18x6x2cm Thank you
