Finally made it out to the Peace River yesterday - the river is still a little high at most spots, but this winter has been too rainy to be picky about the gauge height. We found some small teeth and the usual minor things - broken mammoth tooth plates, antler, scutes, dugong rib, etc. We did find one oddball thing that I am fairly certain is a catfish skull. At first glance, laying in place, it looked like a snake skull, but on closer examination it appears to be a fish. I did some Google searches, but most of the catfish skulls I saw looked a bit different than this. Gar maybe? Eel? or ?

Birthday Fossils! Are they real?
Yasei posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey! I got these fossils for my birthday and I just wanna know if they are real or not? They are classified as fish fossils, Great White teeth, and petrified wood. These are all from my local gem shop which I bought many real fossils from before.

So a bit of newbie advice please I keep my fossil collection on an bookshelf. Exposed to the indoor elements (heating etc) as it was. Mainly fish and plants with a few Trilobites and Ammonites Am thinking mainly in terms of the fish and plants. Is there any chance that part of the fossil will flake off the matrix? Would some sort of lacquer spray offer better protection? If so, any suggestions?

Greetings! I have in my collection what I believe to be a baby Enchodus marchesettii from Lebanon. The fish is about an inch long and bears a close resplendence to my adult Enchodus. I was wondering if anyone else here has a confirmed baby Enchodus and could send some pictures so I could compare! I'll hopefully get around to posting a picture of it soon!

Hello, Could this little fish have been a bit painted or does it seem totally natural preserved? Thanks for the help!

Good evening, I'd like to ask if anyone knows if it's possible to find fish fossils in jurassic mudrock. As far as I can tell, it must be exceedingly rare in Slovakia.

I'm brand new to Fossil Forum, and can't afford the big splashy wall display fossils, so my "collection" is modest, but it's a start. I have three of these fern plates from St. Clair, PA, and two diplomystus fish fossils from the Green River formation in Wyoming.

I had a fun hike at the North Sulphur River Texas yesterday. I figured it would be picked over but I found a pretty remote spot with my 4x4. The one sawfish tooth I found in a small creek a few days before. Everything else is from yesterday. It was a great day for Cretaceous coprolite (Poo). @GeschWhat The one coprolite is full of fish verts, bones and fins.

Is this fish a composite?
Notidanodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi I thought this fish was quite interesting but as the seller provides very little information and I see lots of composite fish I wanted to see what you guys thought

I recently bought this fossilized fish online. I was wondering if anyone could identify the species and perhaps pinpoint the locality/formation. Thanks, Seann

This spring break (March 17th-23rd) my girlfriend and I are planning a trip in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado. It looks like most of the big dig sites are closed for the season, which was a disappointment for us to see. The tentative plan was to go through Kemmerer from Salt Lake (home,) and hit the digs sites there, go through Vernal to the Quarry and the Prehistoric Museum there, then to Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado with a possibility of hitting Price Utah and the Cleveland Lloyd Quarry on the way back. Without any of the digs open, it seems like we're just trying to find simple things to kill our time, but we'd rather be out doing more engaging fossil hunting or learning. Does anyone have recommendations for areas somewhere nearby where our travels will take us? Any suggestions for digs, museums, cool fossil shops, or even just pretty places to camp are all welcome and greatly appreciated!

I need help identifying the attached fossil. It is split into two pieces but can combine into one. It was acquired from a local estate sale so I do not know any details about it. Please help.

Hi, This Coccostius cuspidata is of interest. Not too expensive. Thoughts.? @Fossildude19

Greetings! I was totally captivated by this and snapped it up at our Gem Society Auction, a donation , and I have no information on it. Appears to be in a slab of shale? Imprint is about 3" long (pen next to it in photo 1 to show width of slab) Photo 3 is the backside of it. Any help appreciated - especially just to know if I was an implusive idiot to bid on this!

Tooth found on Sanibel Island, FL. Does not seem like a shark tooth, to me.
zofiava posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, my daughter found this in the ocean off of Sanibel Island, Florida US. We tried comparing it to shark teeth, but it doesn't seem to match any that I've seen. Hopefully someone here can solve our little mystery! Thank you for looking! I am going to attach the other photos in subsequent posts because I am getting an error that I am only allowed to upload 3.95MB, and each photo is only around 1mb so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I am after a bit of help please. I have a fish nodule with a crack that has separated. How do I go about repairing it? I can either attempt this myself. What glue/joining agent do I use? Is this straight forward? Bearing in mind I have never attempted this before. I would also be open to having someone knowledgeable do this for me. If it doesn't end up costing me a fortune. Does anyone in the UK know of someone reliable. I am at work. Will post photos later Thanks

Although we are currently in the depths of February, spring is just around the corner! With spring comes spring break and a week of digging!! One of the locations I am planning a visit to is Jamesville quarry in Jamesville NY. I would love to unearth some nice placoderm pieces. If anybody has info about the site, especially who to contact for permission, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hello everyone! My name is Mike. I have been somewhat obsessed with fossils, dinosaurs, and natural history in general from a very young age. I go to beaches on Lake Michigan in Michigan and Indiana during the summer, and like to find crinoid pieces, horn coral, and stuff like that. I also really, really like to take trips to Florida to fish, fossil hunt, catch lizards, etc. While in Michigan, where I live, I like to fish, hunt, fossil hunt, play video games, hang out with family and friends, and get tattoos a couple times a year. I am a senior at Western Michigan University currently. I took a class called Dinosaurs a few semesters ago and it was super cool. I've got a very realistic trilobite tattoo, got it a few months ago. I also have the Jurassic Park Silhouette rex, a realistic velociraptor skull, a realistic triceratops and centrosaurus, the mosasaur from Jurassic World chasing the shark, and a megalodon tooth with a great white swimming, very realistic. I have 11 others as well, but the ones mentioned at least somewhat relate to this site. I have some fossils that I will post for help identifying. My whole family likes to fossil hunt. I went to New York with family last May to find trilobites and other marine fossils at Penn-Dixie Fossil Park. Very cool place, and I highly recommend it. I'm planning on making a trip south sometime in the near future to find shark teeth and anything else around. Well, enough about me. I hope to meet some cool people on here and see some interesting finds!

Green River formation fish
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Are these replica or genuine fossil? They look like the same.

What kind of fish is this?
-
Made it out to the North Sulphur River yesterday and found a couple of interesting pieces of bone. One was a small jawbone that may be mosasaur but may be small enough to be from some type of fish, not sure. The other piece was one of the largest that I have found but is an odd shape and I am not sure if it may be from a mosasaur, most of the material from this area falls into that group? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hey guys! I was in one of my favorite Pennsylvanian spots in East Kansas finding the usual brachs and bryos when all of a sudden this popped out at me. Any ideas as to what it might be? I’ve never seen something like this in my area before. Thanks.

A freebie to me. Common I’m sure, but what is it? From Parachute Creek I think. Yes, committed the cardinal sin, no scale. It’s around 8cm. @Fossildude19
