I had went on a hike last year out in the badlands here in southwest Wyoming and stumbled across this turtle nestled up on a small peak. About a month ago, I took the same hike to retrieve what I had found ( horrible hike to pack a 50lb turtle on my back ha) and I was seeing if anybody might be able to tell me more about it by chance?

Hello. I have been working on properly cataloguing my old fossil material and was wondering if anyone might have any ideas about the origin of these two fossils from Point A Dam near Andalusia, AL. I know they don’t have many descriptive features but figured I might try. Based on shape, I think 1 might be part of a ray mouth plate, lost on 2 completely. Also, my apologies about the image quality; hopefully getting a phone with a better camera soon. Thanks! 1: 2:

Hello, I've been prepping this Diplomystus dentatus from the green river formation and I noticed something odd seemingly "inside" the ribs. At first I thought it was an extension of the pectoral fin, but it looks quite different and seems to be on the other side of the ribs. Any idea what this could be? Some sort of gut contents? PS. The fish is about 5 inches long

I received this piece without any data. Can anyone please confirm that this is from the Green River Formation in Wyoming, and maybe add more specific location/strat detail to that if it's possible to tell? Should I assume it is from the usual place in Kemmerer... and which layer? Or could it be from a different spot entirely? The ID of the fish would be appreciated too. Sorry about the crummy indoor pic... I tried to get the color balance close to reality.

Hello, Can someone help ID the insects and other stuff on this plate? It's from the Eocene Green River Formation of Colorado, and the whole plate is about 12 cm long. I see some winged insects but have a hard time telling if they are crane flies or potential dragonflies/damselflies. Thanks.

Hello, I recently got this unprepped Green River Fm. fossil fish to dip my toes in fossil prep, and was told it would be either a Knightia or Diplomystus. Is it identifiable at this point? I'm thinking it more resembles Diplomystus, despite the head being a bit crushed. This how it was unprepped: And here it is currently, about 8hrs prep using a blunt needle-like tool.

From the album: Eocene
Galeocerdo eaglesomei, Burleson Co. Lutetian, Eocene May, 2023 Finally found a beautiful Galeocerdo eaglesomei. Carcharhiniformes are not well represented in my mostly Mesozoic collection so I was really happy to find this guy. It came out in two pieces, but b72 did the trick for a quick fix.-

Striatolamia macrota, Burleson Co. Lutetian, Eocene May, 2023 Took one last trip to the bridge on the way to help my brother move out of his dorm. It was raining hard the whole way there, but the rain stopped as I got to the spot. Super muddy, but worthwhile to find some shark teeth freshly eroding out for this quick visit. This is my best example of Striatolamia macrota.-

Echinoid Eupatagus antillarium commonly called the Florida sea biscuit.... I have found many of these over the years but this one is the first one that I have ever found that may show signs of predation? What does everyone think? Thanks for you input!

Found in NJ Miocene/Eocene stream. It has weird grooves on the outside patina, and on the inside has corresponding grooves. It comes to a point as you can somewhat make out in the third image. Any ideas what it could be?

Hello everyone. I am after the ID of these solitary corals. Location: Eastern Bulgaria, Rhodope Mts, south of Kardzhali Age: Oligocene, did not manage to pinpoint the exact location on the geological map, due to poor quality map. As per a local expert, the horn-shaped coral is a Placosmiliopsis bilobatus and the age is Oligocene. The species is supposed to have polymorphy; some are roundish, while others form slightly the number 8. I found a topic on a Spanish forum but I fail to understand the key elements determining the species. Through the help of Google translate, I understood that I have to create cross sections (vertically? horizontally? I made both) but I do not understand what I should observe. (Spanish text in the end of this post) Additionally, as per minedat, the P. bilobatus is supposed to have gone extinct up to Priabonian. This is the reason I started searching since one fact is against the other. The horn-shaped coral is approx an inch in diameter and 1.25" height. The discoid coral has a diameter of 1.75" and 0.25" thick. Both were cleaned with toothbrush and KOH. @fifbrindacier said that @oyo and @HansTheLoser might be able to help on this topic. I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you! "Placosmiliopsis: columnella laminar profunda / Pattalophyllia: columnilla trabecular. Solo hay que cortarle a un cucurucho su rabito y pulirlo un poco (con una muela de afilar cuesta poco), para ver si tiene una columnilla en lámina continua o una columnilla también lineal pero por una amalgama de trabéculas.... como en las últimas fotos de los links que ha puesto Elotro... ....para mi que es Pattalophyllia." This what it is supposed to be Placosmiliopsis bilobatus. There are some noumoulites or other foraminifera on top of it. Horizontal section Vertical section The other type of coral, found at the same locality.
