Fossilized jaw, gifted to me by my aunt this christmas.
75millionyearsago posted a topic in Fossil ID
The jaw is pictured here- the enamel on the teeth does glint as expected, and there are fragments of shell throughout the matrix. Partially obscured portions of the left side of the jaw also show it was crushed as it fossilized, which all to me indicates the matrix is real. The jaw was sourced from Morocco by my aunt from a trusted seller she works with frequently, so i’m not SUPER worried about its authenticity. That said, if you think something is up, do tell! I’m led to believe it belongs to genus Enchodus, but the angle of the frontal tooth alongside the shortness of the jaw has me really unsure, and is leaving little inklings of doubt about it being real. i also attached a photo of an ammonite i am 100% sure is real but am hoping for a second opinion on my ID as an Agadir ammonite.

Trying to ID this fish from the Sannine in Lebanon and having a bit of trouble. About 13cms in length. The dorsal fin seems like a good hint, but haven't found a match for it yet. Anyone got any ideas?

I recently got this fossil fish from Lebanon, is it an ctenothrissa? Best regards Emil!

Here is plate with a big fish (sturgeon?) and a bird (unknow species, look like a cormorant!) from Liaoning Province, China. The bird even has its feathers preserved (if not painted). What do you think? Are they genuine? And what species if genuine?

Hi there. I found this on a field trip to a private quarry in Midlothian , TX (just south of Dallas). It was in limestone / shale in the ATCO formation, where there’s lots of shark teeth and fish bones. I’m pretty sure it’s been compressed as most of the shark spines I’ve seen are much more round and this is pretty oval shaped. Does anyone have any guesses as to species? Thanks in advance!

Hi - I was recently given some concretions from Mazon Creek in Grundy County, IL. to open. I have been able to mostly identify some fauna specimens using the Mazon Creek books. However, not able to identify this one using the book or searches on the internet. Looks like a gold fish to me. Any ideas?
