Hi all - found these two today in an area that had some new spots exposed due to erosion from recent rains. I found this vertebrae and another fossil (I think?) close to each other. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all Can I please get an ID on these 3 fish fossils? All are from the Green River Formation. I want to say Knightia eocaena on all 3 but I'm not good enough to be totally confident in that ID. Can the small fossil be ID'd on the last fish? Scale is in cm. Thanks in advance!

From the album: Misha's Carboniferous
Acanthodes bridgei Acanthodian fish Late Pennsylvanian Marlin Quarry Hamilton Kansas I believe this is a juvenile specimen as the squamation is only developed on less than half the length of the body and this is a pretty small specimen. The preservation on the fossil is amazing as the scales, spines and details of the head are beautifully preserved in high detail. Specimen purchased from @connorp- 1 comment

Some of the first few fossils I ever collected came from Lompoc, California in the Monterey(?) formation. They definitely fueled my passion for fossils and prehistoric fauna. Anyway, I was wanting to make sure I've got my IDs right for some of the stuff I've collected. #1 This first one is probably the largest piece I found. Is it a pectoral fin from a large fish? #2 was really neat to me. It's a vertebra with what looks like the ribs still attached! #3 And this piece I'm not sure about. It looks like a skull piece from a fish #4 Looks like a mostly complete fish! It looks like its mostly missing the tail and I'm not sure what genus or species it is. It's seriously tiny though. I've got both halves of the head which is cool too. The detail is so small that my phone is having a hard time picking it up unfortunately

Four weird little pieces from Gainesville fossil hunting. Guess for 1 is maybe turtle? 2 is very dark and was hard to capture the detail on top even with a dslr and flash, maybe a fish part? The bottom two both appear to be some type of teeth to me, whether that’s crocodilians or cetacean I’m not sure. I’m not even certain they’re identifiable!

Found the fingernail looking guys in the peace river - someone guessed they might be pieces of parrot fish beaks - any guessed are appreciated.

Unknown fossil from fossil display set bought from National Maritime Museum of China
LDNewts posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone, I found this really weird fossil from a fossil tooth display set of prehistoric fish and reptiles that I bought from the National Maritime Museum of China. It says that it belongs to Cretalamna appendiculata, but I searched it online and found out that the teeth of Cretalamna appendiculata looked really unlike what I have. Does anyone know which creature does this piece of fossil belong to? P.S. The display set says that all the fossils are from the phosphate mines of Morocco Picture one is the piece of fossil that needs identification Picture two are tooth fossils of Cretalamna appendiculata

Trading two small teeth from Protosphyraena of Australia
-Andy- posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hello, I'm trading two small Protosphyraena teeth. Here are their info: Protosphyraena sp. 84.9 mya | late Cretaceous Molecap Greensand Formation Gingin, Western Australia These two teeth have a value of 20 USD in total. I am trading them away for any other fossil with roughly that value. Thank you for your interest.thumb.jpg.e6b6f2a69ca565c3f7296534ce3641fc.jpg)

Hello! I recently found a fish vertebra while digging with my local archaeology club. Can anyone help identify it? - It was found in the city center of Gouda, The Netherlands - Based on other finds we can roughly date it to between 1500 and 1700 - It was probably quite a big fish; the disc is 2 cm. across

Wondering if these tiny fish fragments can be identified? These are about the size of a grain of sand about 8-10,000 years old ancestral Lake michigan.

Hi. Everyone thanks. Need some advice on some large 40+ lb clusters of fossilferious agate

Hello everyone and thank you for letting me join the forum I believe I had joined before and I couldn't find my account for some reason it's been some years so I guess it got deleted and also I'm using my phone because back in January the apartment building I lived in burnt down and I'm staying at this motel which happens to be on a gold mine for fossils Well my question is this on the formations of the fossils in the limestone mainly the hotter limestone which is probably the older one like the green and the greenish blue and the gray I have several large pieces that look like they you know might be fun to do but I'm wondering on which way to approach it I got to get some vinegar and some baking soda and some Lodge tubs probably at the dollar store and let him soap for a few days and also I mean what's inside these formations I mean would there be like any like crystallization from the act because there's a few of them that which are crystallized which would be agate I think I'm not sure I'm a tool and die person so I mean this is new to me so please bear with me Also when I was collecting these you'll see by the pictures I mean I got a few of them because like I said I'm stuck in a hotel and only thing to do is walk up and down the river and I found some triangular ones which are also extremely heavy and I think they're also like the green Crystal type ones inside I'm not sure has anybody seen these before and they have some pretty good fossils on them on the outside in depth are about probably a half inch into out you know and on the smaller one just seems to be like guidelines on how do I guess clean it I mean that's kind of odd so to speak I mean it's like paint by number well if anybody has any input please let me know thanks again for the joint I'll try not to add so many pictures next time

I found what I thought was a tiny piece of jaw (11 mm long and 5 mm thick). My rookie guess was rodent, fish, or something else small. The hole/socket size is consistent with a piece of rabbit jaw I have, but the holes seem to be a different shape (I think...my rabbit jaw still has teeth in it). However, the rabbit jaw is smooth bone on both sides and this one is smooth on one side but has a pattern similar to a pharyngeal grinding plate/mill on the other side (which I didn't notice immediately). So, is it a grinding plate that happens to have holes on the end, or a jaw that happens to have this pattern? Thank you!

Just need to double check that this fish fossil is indeed Leptolepis Bronni, as the seller states. Thank you all.

Hello, I just signed up here because I am looking for fossil data on the Cenomanian North African hybodont Distobatus nutiae. Information on it has proven to be elusive and I do not have the means to access the article in which it was first described. I am particularly interested in information relevant to the potential size and diet of this species. While I'm at it, in my research I've also noticed that hybodont reconstructions even of the same genus (such as Hybodus) are variously reconstructed with either one or two pairs of cranial claspers. Is it clear from the fossil data how many pairs of cranial claspers male hybodonts were equipped with? Did it vary at the family, genus, or even species level? Hopefully this is the right area of the forum to seek this information, thanks in advance.
