These are fossils from the early Campanian of northwestern New Mexico, collected on BLM-managed land as part of the Menefee Expedition. The Menefee Expedition, which has run yearly since 2011, is a multi-institutional effort combining the talents of the Southwest Paleontological Society, Western Science Center, Zuni Dinosaur Institute for Geosciences, and formerly the University of Pennsylvania, permitted under the Bureau of Land Management in New Mexico. Fossils collected as part of the Menefee Expedition are prepared and stored at the Western Science Center in Hemet, California. If you'd like to watch the day-by-day of the expedition, be sure to check out the Expedition Video logs on YouTube! Baenid turtle shell- my find! Dinosaur limb end- my find! Large croc tooth, likely Deinosuchus- volunteer find! Leaf and stem- my find! Gar scale- my find! Dinosaur tibia- volunteer find! Brachychampsa tooth- my find! Bivalve, which I think is a unionid- my find! Crocodilian tooth in matrix- my find! Finally, a dinosaur toe bone- volunteer find!

I went with the Delaware Valley Paleontological Society to a few spots in Central New York last month. Cole Hill Rd. in Hubbardsville has several outcrops on private land where the owners are willing to share with fossil hunters. We scrabbled up and down the scree - Whee- and found our fill of trilo-bits, including one Dipleura cephalon covered with druse calcite, plus oodles of brachiopods, nautiloids, straight-shelled cephalopods, gastropods of all different shapes, and bivalves. I learned a tough lesson that afternoon. Always wrap your specimens as you go. Not only will they keep from breaking, but they are easier to find when your bucket tips and tumbles down the hillside across countless tons of scree There were lots of pained faces around me as I hunted down the things I'd already found.. It took me half an hour to recover everything I could, but the best ones managed to make it home. Dilpeura trilobite cephalon Another trilobite cephalon, found by someone else in the group. This one is covered in sparkling calcite. Crinoid holdfast? with Ptomatis rudis gastropod unknown, probably nautiloid Cornellites fasculata bivalve Palaeozygopleura sp. misc. unknown brachiopods If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them. This spine-shaped object is about 6 inches long. I'd discount it as variations in the rock color, but the left end is curved outward from the matrix. Worm trace fossil. They made carpets of these on the sea floor.

I am on vacation in SW Vermont.. Last evening, I had dinner with my niece and friend. She has an interest in fossils (I gave her many as presents and she has hunted the Peace River a couple of times.) A while ago, her friend was at a Flea Market and from a cardboard box labeled "New York", he got a number of rocks that contained fossils for her. That is all I know....and I am certainly no expert on fossils in rocks from the Northeast....

Looking for help identifying any of these fossilized shells and internal casts. All found in southeast Florida, Broward/ Miami-Dade counties [Pleistocene Miami Limestone/Oolite]. Maybe a few found more westward in the Tamiami Formation [Pliocene/ Miocene Limestone] Thanks. Fossil Shells.pdf

I found these Devonian bivalves (?) at the Milwaukee formation at estabrooke park in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I think the first one could be a bivalved arthropod like an ostracod and the second could be part of a brachiopod. Any help is appreciated! Thanks. Sorry for lack of scale! I just put one in my rockhounding bag.

Hello everyone, I'm happy to be back with one more of many questions I will have. This was part of the bins of rocks I inherited. I mentioned on my last post they came from my neighbor and family friend growing up and the man who sparked my interest in fossil science but did not reveal his identity out of respect for his surviving daughter but after speaking with her she said her dad would be honored and said absolutely. My neighbor growing up was Dallas Lemmon and he was a professor of geology at Western New Mexico University for many years and is the one who left me a few bins of his collection.

Picked this up at a dry land site some time back and forgot about it. While going through my fossil boxes recently, I re-found it. It came out of the Tamiami Fm. near Sarasota with a lot of other Pliocene/Pleistocene material. There seemed to be some Miocene mixed in there as well, so I am not sure where to start with this one. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks!

Hi all - I found this in a creek in Central Texas. Looks like a rudist to me. There’s a good amount of detail visible on it, so I was wondering if anyone might be able to ID it down to genus (or species)? Thanks so much!

Found some (what i presume are) bivalves on the same hunt i found my ironstone! I decided to post them separately cause i wanna be as active as possible without overcrowding anything. They’re a little over 2 centimeters, my estimate at least (i’m terrible at math and not familiar with the metric system so bare with me-)

From Burches Ferry, outside of Pamplico, South Carolina. Wondering how far down it can be taxonomically ID'd. Found in association with many belemnites. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I visited a beach in the Netherlands and I collected some things that I thought had the chance to be fossilized. I want to ask if the next specimens in the pictures I will post are fossilized seashells, modern ones, just rocks? And what kind of seashells they are in case they are fossilized. Thank you! I will post them separately in the replies.
