From the album: Mancos Shale - Grand Junction, CO
Marine burrow. Found this down in the Mancos shale, loose. Possibly from the overlying Mesaverde formation. I have seen many burrows in the Mesaverde sandstone. -

I found this partial vertebra at the north Sulphur River in Texas last week while hunting with my son. I am pretty certain it is turtle but is there any way to identify it further? Thank you for any help.

Hi Everyone, I’ve been living down in Texas with my family instead of my usual location in Missouri, and had a free day to go to the North Sulfur River (NSR). I had no idea my family lived so close to such a fun location to fossil hunt. I had a great time and have been trying to find the identity of a few of the fossils I found. I know identification posts are generally individually done, but since they were all found at the same location I decided to group them into one post. Hope that's not too against forum rules. Anyway, I’d love y'alls thoughts on what they might be! All the following were found in the North Sulfur River – Ozan formation. Number 1: This seems to me to be a jaw bone, but beyond that I'm unsure. Two possible growth teeth. What do you think? Number two: Are these bacculites end pieces? Number 3: I saw in another post these were identified as mammoth enamel. Think that is what they are or just something geological? I have a few more I'll include in a following post...

I have this tooth from the KemKem basin in my collection. I have always assumed it is Spinosaur but having looked at it again I am starting to wonder if it is crocodile. Can anyone confirm the identification? Thanks, Daniel

A 15 minute stop in New Jersey and found these Cretaceous...
CityDweller posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Couple months ago I stopped by the Big Brook Preserve (BBP), a sort of well-known fossil location in New Jersey, about 90 minutes from New York City. It was very muddy so I didn't look around much, but what is great about this place is that it is a road pull off with parking on a nice county road. It was absolutely silent out that misty morning, with deer running about. I found these shells somewhat exposed in the dirt. These are most likely from the Late Cretaceous period (~105-66 MYA), this area was once a shallow marine environment. Today it is rolling hills, and BBP has a small creek where fossil hunters like to search. The shells display bore holes (from other animals) in them. The State of NJ hosts a very interesting paper on such Cretaceous fossils here: https://www.state.nj.us/dep/njgs/enviroed/oldpubs/bulletin61-I.pdf

Going through finds that haven’t been ID-ed yet from a trip to the Lance Formation. The find looks scute like, but I’m not an expert. It appears this maybe ID-able by its features. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what this is? All I know is it’s from Kem Kem. My best guess is some type of crocodile. What else even has all those nerve channels besides crocs and the spinosaur family? I think the shape(top&bottom view) looks similar to pancake croc jaws, and I’m pretty sure there were a number of others with that type of jaw, but I don’t know when and where they were, sooooo.......does anyone have any thoughts about it?

Tried the Manasquan River today and came up with this shark tooth which seems a little different than the makos, mackerel and goblin sharks I usually stumble upon. Any idea what species it may be?

I found this matrix containing something that reminds me of the fossilized fish tooth pictures that I have seen around on here. When I noticed this, I chipped this matrix section off of a larger shell hash plate containing mostly Turritella sp. and bivalves. Its original location is in Ellsworth county, Kansas at Kanopolis reservoir. Age of this matrix is Albian and it is from Kiowa formation-Longford Member. Length of this 'tooth' is about .25 inches/6.5 mm. Can anyone identify what it is? It is currently soaking in a bowl of water, I hope to remove more of the matrix off to get a better look at it. Do you have any advice/tips on how to do it without breaking the 'tooth'? As you can see it, it's very small and I have nearly no experience in prepping the fossils beyond the washing and brushing with toothbrush.
