Hi, I’m new and from Canada. Just recently found some love for fossils, pretty excited to learn a little bit more about them.
-
I found this bone when I was vacationing at the milk river, AB. I found it on a cliff ledge, under about 9 feet of sand. It feels petrified compared to other fossils I have, and it looks like the toe bone of a theropod.

Hi there, just wonder if this is a fossil I found it in Edmonton, Alberta in a ravine by a small little stream. Sorry for lack of information, quite new to fossil hunting, thank you for understanding and any response is appreciated.

I hammered this free from a chunk of ironstone. Ironstone matrix. I thought it was completely round like a marble nut the more I inspected I see some traits that this is a designed specimen with a symmetrical pattern and some unique patterns. Any ideas?

Hello to everyone! My name is Oleg, I live in Calgary in Canadian province of Alberta. I am a 3D artist by occupation, but recently I have decided to try myself in paleoart, as I have been interested in paleontology, fossils and prehistoric animals since my childhood. I cannot say that I am an experienced fossil collector, but I do enjoy fossil-hunting as I live in the unique place: you drive for one hour east and find yourself in the Dinosaur Country of Red Deer badlands; you go west - and you find yourself on the bottom of Cambrian see in the middle of Canadian Rockies. I hope to meet new people that share common interest in paleontology, also would be looking for critique and advice regarding my paleoart I am going to post here.

Hi guys, I recently made a trade with someone for some theropod teeth fragments from Alberta, I was just wondering if their was any chance of possibly nailing down what these teeth came from other then theropod. As always many thanks guys, GK

Hi folks! Thought I might try leaning on the expertise of the forum gurus - I've owned this tooth for a few years and would like to hear any opinions of what the specimen should be classed as. It was sold as Daspletosaurus Torosus, but I'm aware of how hard it can be to label Tyrannosaur teeth (or just leave them as 'indet'). The tooth originated from Alberta, Canada. As it isn't the clearest to see, the denticles (which are very fine and equal in size on both sides) on the anterior edge curve off to the right (viewing the tooth face on), whilst the posterior serrated line is straight. PS: Apologies for the quality of photos too...my phone doesn't enjoy photographing anything magnified.

Hiya! Wentout today to look out for fossils for the first time. Stumbled upon what seems to look like some type of vertebra on a river bank? Not entirely sure if it's a fossil at all, since there were lots of deer bone fragments in the vicinity too. Looks to be a little older though?

Hello, everyone. I am new to this site, and like everyone here I am fascinated with anything old that comes from the ground. I have discovered a location of the banks of the river that has more bones than I know what to do with, I dont know how old, what it is (mammoth, dinosaur, deer?) but, they are petrified, heavy and lots of some crystal formations. Any help in identification would be helpful. I can go to this spot and carry out 60-100 pounds of bone every visit. Well maybe not now as the ground is covered in snow lol. Please, please see my other posts.

Fossil tyrannosaurid tooth found last weekend. 2nd largest one I have found and largest in the area by at least an inch. Formation is belly river group. I believe i is out of dinosaur park formation layers and possibly mix of oldman and foremost formations. I'm thinking gorgosaurus or daspletosaurus???
-
Hey, just curious if anyone might help out on this ID. Hysperonychus? Sourornitholestes?

Hi, I found this little gem in Southern Alberta. Any ideas about what creature it looks like it might belong to?
-
So I have posted some of the amazing petrified bones I have found from a special excavation site. I do not know what dinosaur it is, but it is huge. These were found off of a riverbank, in Edmonton Alberta and I have hundreds from the same site. I believe one picture is of a horn? Maybe another is vertebrate from a back? Any input please. Here is 2 more

I am new to this so excuse my lack of terminology. I am looking for help identifying what this is. I picked it up next to a excavation sight that I have pulled hundreds of bones from. I have also found many primitive stone tools in the same location. I found what appeared to be a primitive tool. Upon closer examination I have discovered the top half covered in a leather like impression. I am not certain that this is a tool, or a bone but I am under the assumption that this is a impression of skin on this object. Any information will be helpful. I will be posting pictures of the amazing bones I have collected in hopes of identifying what dinosaur I have. This was collected in the north Saskatchewan river, just off of the shore.

Hi i was hoping someone could identify this tooth from near Medicine Hat AB. I found it along hadrosaur spitters and turtle carapace fragments. Lots of fossils in the area but this is unique.

Hi everyone. I'm new. I've been finding lots of fossils over the last 3 years so I'm glad to join the discussion -rod

Baculites from Littly Smoky River, Alberta
JustPlainPetrified posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Another very successful trip to the Little Smoky River this year north of Valleyview, Alberta. River levels had finally receded and we were lucky to be one of the first to pick the banks for exposed baculites. They are mostly fragmented and I have yet to find a complete specimen. No matter the size their colours are brilliant from silvery white, blues, reds and greens. The shimmery colour catches your eye when they are wet and at the waters edge.

Hi, excited to make the introduction (and nervous), and start my first posts here on the forum (and anywhere ever for that matter). As a rock hound and father of two boys living in Calgary all google searches for alberta fossils brought me to @Canadawest posts and trips. Amazing stuff! Thx Canada west. Currently a rookie with a ton of petrified wood (large, up to 4ft by 2ft and tiny, 1-2" - amazing for terrariums) and shells from the shores of sylvan lake. Looking to make my first trip with the kids to the badlands in hunt of a tooth or some Dino bone this summer (any tips appreciated) Here's a small selection of some shells I have found. Thx all!

Exciting new fossil in the Peace Country By Derek Larson, Dino News & Views Daily Herald Tribune, July 6, 2017 http://www.dailyheraldtribune.com/2017/07/06/exciting-new-fossil-in-the-peace-country Yours, Paul H. -
Hey everyone. So I am new to fossil hunting. Like completely new. I am taking a geology class and one of my assignments includes going fossil hunting! So fun. I have gone out twice and feel like I'm having no luck. However at the last minute I came across this. I am really not sure if it's just rock or something more. Since I am completely new at this hoping someone can help me. Thanks in advance for any insight.

As above. After the silly Alioramus(?) locality mistake I made, I have taken on the colossal and necessary task of auditing all my locality info. Here's an area that has me stumped. Does anyone know if there's any late Cretaceous dino-bearing formations in Drumheller besides Horseshoe Canyon?
