Dinosaur Hadrosaurus or Therizinosaurus egg fossil
Antonin posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I have the opportunity to buy this set of 12 fossilised eggs. I shared several pictures. They seem perfectly real to me, but I would appreciate your expertise on authenticity! Thank you very much, Antonin [Seller verbiage removed]

Hello, Everyone; I found what appear to be several interesting rocks on the beach in Venice, Florida lately and decided to see if they arouse the interest of the panel here. I’ll start out with one that I first thought was a shard of mammoth/mastodon tooth. Upon turning it over I was intrigued by the black, toothlike colorations.

Does anyone know of a full list of all fossils + names that have been found in Kentucky?
colebiederman posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello, I am new to the forum and trying to educate myself on my home state's paleontology and geology. I am wondering if anyone knows of a site that contains a list of all fossil species that have been found in Kentucky. I read on University of Kentucky's website that 4,000 species identified in the state, but cannot find a list. If anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction, that would be amazing. Thank you! -

I took my son to the Chesapeake and Delaware canal spoil piles at reedy point a few weeks ago and found these two small pieces. They stood out but I’m not sure if they’re actually anything interesting or not.

I have decided to start a thread showing pieces from my collection. I usually post in the "mailbox score" thread, but have found that my additions get lost in the volume of postings in the thread. So my collection will be in my own thread.

Hello all, it’s been a long time since I’ve last posted. A lot has changed, and I’ve been getting the fossil hunting bug again. (No pun-intended) You know what bug I do not want to catch? Ticks. I’ve already seen 3 this year, thankfully none on myself since I’ve been avoiding brush and tall grass. Yet the fear of catching a tick-born-disease is keeping me from fossil hunting. I am going on a fossil hunt out to a spot in western Pennsylvania this Saturday with my fossil club that I haven’t been to since 2016. I’m excited but also nervous about ticks. In the past there wasn’t a ton of brush there, since it’s a dam spillway in a park. But I went during the fall then, and as I remember ticks weren’t nearly as much of an issue then as they are today. Do any of you have any tips to keep ticks off of me this trip? I’ve read about DEET and permethrin sprays, and I am still unsure. I have two cats, so I am also worried about the toxicity of permethrin and other anti-tick substances. I will probably be wearing jeans and long sleeves to protect myself. Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone help!! Anyone able to confirm of this is a bird fossil. Found in Hornsea on the East Coast, caught my eye as it looks like a bird to me. I have a few pics below, dry and wet also against a tennis ball for size. I will be taking to Manchester Museum, a friend of mine sent me this group so thought I'd ask! Anyone else able to advise me further, total novice at this 🤔

Since the topic i am searching for as apparently vanished, ill make a new one . I recall a topic on here a couple of years ago on someone having a wooden cabinet and storing their fossils in it. The issue was the wood apparently was out gassing, and damaging the fossils as a result . Does anyone else have insight on this and what kinds of wood do not mix well to store or display fossils in?

A Fossil A Day....keeps the blues away! Or something like that... I started an Instragram account (jamielynnfossilquest) and am posting a fossil a day, so I figured I should do that on here, to REAL fossil enthusiasts! I'm a few days behind, so I will start out with a few more than one a day but then it will settle down to One Fossil (but I will admit, I'll probably miss a few days, but I'll double up or whatever.) I'll start with Texas Pennsylvanian era, but will branch out to other locations and time periods, so expect a little of everything! So enjoy A Fossil A Day! Texas Pennsylvanian Fossils: Nautiloid Agathiceras ciscoense Brachiopod Neochonetes acanthophorus Trilobite Ditomopyge sp. Gastropod Straparollus sp. Bivalve Astartella vera Cephalopod Brachycycloceras sp, Brachiopod Cleiothyridina orbicularis

Found this lovely piece in Barrington NSW Australia. It has many crinoids, brachiopods and molluscs in it. I'm particularly interested in these white brachiopod specimens. It looks like calcite (I'm too scared to scratch it to check). They are all over the rock and some of them are half filled with calcite showing that it potentially goes really deep. Potentially a full outline of a brachiopod in calcite. What do you guys think? I've included some microscope pictures to help. Also is there a way to prep them out of the matrix? I believe the matrix is limestone. Is there an acid that WONT damage calcite? I do have a dremmel engraver with palaeo tips as well. Any tips would be very much appreciated

Hi there, a girlfriend of mine has recently brought a property in Peachester, Queensland. This property was previously owned by a geologist, as well as a archaeologist, (... something along those lines ) who had a couple truck loads of "rocks " dumped at the property, for whatever reason. They've since run out of money so they sold up and hit the road.... my friend and I are discovering some amazing things but we have no idea what most of them are - please help... this is just taste of what's there...
