Hyneria lindae Large tristichopterid fish tooth My first complete tooth from Hyneria without significant feeding damage. Largest one too, unfortunately broke apart when getting it out, but was able to salvage and glue together the major pieces. Catskill Formation Fammenian Pennsylvania -

From the album: Misha's Late Devonian Fossils
Arthrodire placoderm bone Unknown species Found near the boundary of the marine Catskill and Lock Haven Fms in light gray colored sandstone Unfortunately the bone was very weathered and fell apart while splitting down the matrix, this is what I was able to piece back together.

Hello, I found a trilobite and a fish jaw(?) at a nearby flea market. The person who sold it to me had no geological information. Enchodus? I'm simply looking for any information that can be provided. Thanks.

Found this today 7/21/23 around Westport, Washington, USA beach.

Found this tooth in the vertebrate layer on my second Whisky Bridge (Lutetian, Eocene) hunt like 6 or so months ago. I just assumed it was a fish tooth, so I didn't put too much research into it at the time. Found it again while packing today and now I'm wondering what it is. I can't find any similar Eocene fish teeth in my Googling. Now that I have some marine croc teeth under my belt, I'm starting to wonder if this could be one even though I've never heard of croc material from the site. The tooth is about 9.5 mm tall and 1.5 mm in diameter on the base. It has deep striations that are densest and most uniform on the lingual side. The striations persist on the labial side, but are less dense and deep. It has a sigmoidal curvature labiolingually and two prominent cutting edges. Feel free to tag anyone who knows a thing or two about the site! @jkfoam @Jared C @erose @JohnJ Thanks!

From the album: Misha's Carboniferous
Cardiosuctor populosum Coelacanth late Mississippian Bear Gulch Limestone The matrix of this specimen is a bit unusual and not typical of what I've seen from most other Bear Gulch fossils, does anyone know why this might be? I'm assuming it might be a specific layer within the Lagerstätte which is also rich in Coelacanths as the only other fossils I've been able to find online in similar dark colored matrix from Bear Gulch with the same type of preservation are also Cardiosuctor specimens. The dark color of both matrix and fossil make it a bit difficult to distinguish some of the features, but there's some good preservation of skull elements, the vertebral column, fins and some scales around the specimen. generously gifted to me by my friend @Dean Ruocco- 1 comment

A large fish from the Ashfield Shale SW of Sydney, Australia. The nodule it's in is really annoying to work with, it fractures vertically in most cases so lots of smaller pieces are missing. Unfortunately the specimen is pretty poorly preserved so I labelled one of the photos with what some parts may be, please feel free to correct me if any labels are incorrect. Also, it is difficult to photograph the details well due to poor contrast between the fossil and matrix, so hopefully these photos are adequate (I may readjust some soon). Thank you for any help! Skull Pectoral fin? Caudal fin Pelvic fin? Dorsal fin? Possible fin from the lower middle part of the body

Friend found this today in SC. Any ideas?

Hi everybody. Just finished up this little pycno yesterday. Cute little bugger. Less than 2 hours of prep for this little project. I used my new Zoic Velociraptor air scribe for this. A tool I've fallen in love with. Fixed up the crack that ran through the fish, squared up the rock with my tile saw and smoothed the egdes with my table belt sander and Waaaa Laaaa! I was not going to keep this at first and have decided to thin the rock in half and hang it onto one of my fish walls. Already have a spot for it. I also turned this small project into a video for youtube but it wont be out for a week or so. RB

So, some of y'all know I am obsessed with finding a mosasaur tooth. I found a new spot in Travis County that yielded some nice Eagle Ford stuff (ptychodus, scapanorynchus and ptychotrygon). It's probably a fish tooth, but MAYBE it's a tiny mosasaur?? I have consulted an "expert" (hehehe) we all know and love @Jared C and says 65% mosasaur. What do y'all think?? It's 1/4 inch.

Big Brook, NJ, believe this is a Xiphactinus tooth, but wanted to confirm
TRexEliot posted a topic in Fossil ID
Tooth has flat facets running most of the length from the crown to the tip, a hollow crown, and is just under an inch long.

Hi forum, sorry, it's me again. After 4 hours of preparation, from an initial 2x1cm of exposed orange surface, this thing popped out i have no idea what it is. the dark part looks pretty wrinkled while the lightest is smooth. My immagination sees a fish head, but i'm not an expert of the Solnhofen area. Also i have exposed the rock a little randomly so i won't be surprise if there is something else below. That's exactly the point where an ID will be very helpful to proceed with preparation and details exposure the rock was collected in a Solnhofen quarry (150m years old). the length is about 5cm Thanks a lot best regards Paolo

A couple of days ago we had a quick trip just south of Sydney to show a researcher some potential temnospondyl tracks, but on our way home we had a quick look in some road cuttings for fossil fish. Many fantastic fossils have been found in the nodules which are common in this area, such as xenacanths, temnospondyls and various fish. This time, we were lucky enough to find a big nodule with quite a large fish inside, although it's pretty poorly preserved. We only had time to remove the skull and some of the front part of its body but I hope to get back there soon to remove the rest of the nodule. The nodule was really crumbly and broke into many pieces, so I had to spend a long time trying to fit it all back together once I got home. Here is what I have so far (not including the counterpart which is even more fragmentary): This image shows the skull (left), and some nicely preserved scales (top right) and part of what I believe to be the pectoral fins (far right): A close up of some scales: A nicely preserved bone from the rear of the skull which is on the counterpart: The site:

Both of these verts have been identified as Pachyrhizodus and were found in the Niobrara Chalk of Gove County, Kansas. Needing a second opinion.

I've been working off/on with this fish for months now. After all the work of getting it put/glued back together and put onto a backer board and then the spaces inbetween the slab and the backer board filled in with concrete patch, then squared up and worked all the edges to a nice finish, it was finally time to begin work on one of the actual fish. The quarry owner does not know the species of this fish, so my good friends, I will ask you. I'm just hoping there is enough uncovered to be able to tell? What in tarnation is this fish? and thank you for any and all help. RB

Here are some Before & After photos of the 2nd and 3rd fish at practiced prepping, and 1 coat of butvar. I sent 7 fossils off for professional prep and haVE about 35 full fish I'm going to do some art projects with and hang in a wooden frame. I used a razor blade, Q tip, and safety pin.

This is one of the fish we found in Green River WY last week it looks distinctive from the others maybe Phareodus?

Was jogging on trail in NE Kansas today near areas we found Crinoids, brachiopods, fusulinids prior. The hole in this rock caught my attention. Looking closer, it has the shape of a jaw and it looks like teeth. It reminds me of the shape of a Xiphactinus jaw. It’s probably nothing. But what if ? Whether it’s “just a rock” or not, there are some shapes on this that looks like teeth or bone joints. Does anyone see anything in these pictures? my 6 year old daughter says, “it’s never just a rock Dad”. What are your thoughts???

I found this tooth when I was looking for Shark Teeth on an island outside of Wilmington on the Intracoastal. This is the first white tooth I've found in that area so I'm guessing its not as old as the shark teeth I find there. From research, I think it may be an alligator or a fish tooth? Would love some insight. Thanks!

Lincolnshire Limestone, Oolite Group, Middle Jurassic, Bajocian Im not sure what to make of this, was thinking maybe fish fragment. Particularly puzzled by the circular pattern. I've dampened it with water to help it show more clearly in the photo. Scale is mm.
