Just found this bone out of the eagle Ford group in north central Texas. 86-90 mya. I'm guessing it's mosasaur or turtle? One end is broken off. 4 inches length. If so can we get a bone ID from it? Limb bone? Thanks for any help.

I came across this tooth in a scud box that a friend of mine had. He hunts the same creeks in SE Alabama that I do and the creek that he stated that the tooth was found in cuts through the middle of the Blufftown formation. The only thing I can think that it could be is an Otodus and Im flat out curious what y'all think. It's definitely a one of a kind piece from our area though, regardless of what it is! It's 1-7/16" long and 1-1/8" wide. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Another weekend find, looks like a broken Vertebre - it's got a different shape to it, seems more oblong than round based on the shape of the half I have. Rick noted looks sort of like a Plesiosaur vert? If anyone can ID it from what fragment we have, that would be AWESOME and much appreciated! Let me know if you need more photos. Found: Greensmill Run, Greenville, NC. In a hole with an array/time span of things from cretaceous to native american artifacts (enchodus teeth, crow shark, shale bone, great white, giant white, modern tiger shark teeth and pottery.

Finally made it out to the Sulphur. It's been 9 months so I was eager to get a big hunt in. Pulled an all dayer, 10 miles in the mud. Was quite a workout and I'm still sore. We haven't had a big rise in a while so I wasn't expecting much but I ended up with a decent haul. Favorites are the jaw sections and coprolite. Looking forward to spring storms hitting soon

In January 1999, two new choristoderans - aquatic living diapside reptiles - from the Jehol biota (Early Cretaceous of Liaoning , China) were described by the "Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoantropology" (IVPP) and by the "Beijing Natural History Museum" (BVC) under the names Sinohydrosaurus lingyuanensis Li et al., 1999 und Hyphalosaurus lingyuanensis Gao et al., 1999. It turned out that both institutes independently described slab and counterslab of the same individuum. H. lingyuanensis is the valid name, this description was published slightly earlier - just by a couple of days. This is a hatchling, adult Hyphalosaurs can reach almost 1.5m in length. Hyphalosaurus is often faked and sold under the designation Jurassic Nothosauria. References: Smith, J. and Harris J.

Hey guys, I saved these from going to the landfill or being ground up and used as fill. A large stock pond was being dug on a friends property and I grabbed these when I saw them. I have had them since about 2012. I believe they're pieces of an ammonite or ammontites. I'd really like any info anyone can give me. And yes I have read up on google but it's difficult to to google something that you're unsure of, ya dig? (Fossil pun)

Hey guys, We found this tooth today sifting in the brook at Monmouth Co. It's pretty beat up, but we're hoping to get an ID on it! Thanks!

Hi. Very new to collecting. Tried to find an image match for this but i can't. Probably a fish, just can't id. Any help appreciated.

Took advantage of the mid-60's sunny forecast Saturday for a drive down to Ramanessin Brook in NJ. Nothing special, seemed to be mostly fragments and there were lots of footprints along the banks, but it was still enjoyable to be outside enjoying the winter reprieve. Tiny sawfish (Ischyrhiza mira) rostral tooth, front looks good, but back is busted up (scale = quarter inch squares) Tiny ammo fragment (front & back)

8 mile NSR hike trying to get past all the footprints. I had a great day. I found a nice variety of Pleistocene and Cretaceous fossils and all kinds of artifacts. I really like the partial Mosasaur / Pleisosaur scapula with shark feeding marks. The Mastodon tooth enamel has some great color. The Ammonite septum that size is pretty rare for NSR. 2 Mosasaur teeth in one day always makes my day.

Mosasaurus Fossil Tooth Root Bone
BadlandTraveller posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Recent auction post labelled 'MOSASAURUS FOSSIL TOOTH ROOT BONE'. I'm a little new at this so bear with me but - The root bone looks real but the teeth look placed. Is it a red flag that one tooth curves to the left while the other curves to the right?
-
any help on these please

Long 10 mile hike at NSR and some meager finds. The weather was beautiful so I didn't mind. I found lots of Pleistocene tooth enamel. This particular area of NSR I seem to find more Pleistocene material and points than Cretaceous material.

Hi all, This small vert comes from Khouribga, Morocco. At first I thought it was fish, but now I'm not sure; it could be reptile. Does anyone know what it could be? Fish/reptile/something else? Please try to be as precise as possible, though I know it's hard. I don't know whether it's Cretaceous or Paleogene either. What do you think? Just give as much info as you can about this little mystery! Best regards, Max

I acquired some lobster concretions while in Quartzite and was asked to show the prep process, so here goes. I picked out what I thought was the best 3 and tossed the others aside. This is # 3. This has a very nice tail end but appears to be very flat/crushed otherwise. As long as its there and complete it can still end up being a very good specimen? Doing 3 lobsters at the same time is going to take quite a bit of time but as long as 1 or 2 and even 3 work out, it will a ton of exciting fun for me. We'll see. All this could take upwards of 120 hours if things to work out?

just seeing if this is crab or something else and if the other is something as well,thanks for help
