I sure hope someone can help me! We have TONS of fossils where we live, but we've only ever seen the shell type ones and NEVER something like this. Perhaps these aren't fossils, but we sure think they are - we just have no idea what they may be. Any experts out there that can help with identification? We're in Northern CO along the foothills.

Hello everybody. My name is Svetlana, I'm from Ukraine and I'm new here. It's a pleasure to join your community; hope you will accept me. I want to show you some of my findings today I can only provide such photographs - there is a lot of material, and its definition and high-quality photography are only ahead. All finds are from Devon of Ukraine. Red tiles - shell fish, mostly Podolaspis Lerichei; green tiles - Tentaculites, Howellella bragensis. I wish you all the best in 2021! Best regards, Svetlana

Hi Everyone, I was going through my old photos and I came across these.: A collection of fossil fishes in the American Museum of Natural History Hall of Vertebrate Origins. Normally when there one tends to gravitate towards the two enormous dinosaur halls, but this room is my favorite. Sorry, I don't have any IDs on any of these. Feel free to step in and ID them. Hope you enjoy.

Receiving this gorgeous but mysterious specimen is from Upper Pennsylvanian limestone dated around 290-300 million years ago from somewhere around Kansas City. Looks like a tooth to me and my best guess would be orodus? But I have little experience with Pennsylvanian shark teeth in general and especially from this area, also cannot find a comparison elsewhere online. Any help will be appreciated.

On Sunday I took a trip to the Natural History Museum in London. I queued up before it opened at 10am and even before then there was a long queue. I have not visited this museum since I was a child and spent an entire day there (10am to 4.30pm - a long time). I was surprised as it is a lot bigger than I remembered and there was so much to see. This place has the most wonderful things and is an incredible place to learn. The museum showcases a Baryonyx, Sophie the Stegosaurus (the world's most complete Stegosaurus) and more! The moving Trex and Deinonychus are also really realistic in the way they move. If you like your dinosaur teeth, the Megalosaurus and Daspletosaurus teeth are out of this world! There is something for everyone in this museum and I would highly recommend that you visit here if you have not already! A lot of the dinosaur specimens are casts taken from other museums but they are still cool to look at. I had taken the photos on my SLR and due to the size of the photos I had to reduce the quality of them to be able to post on the forum which is unfortunate but it's the only way otherwise the photos would take a really long time to load. There are more non-dinosaur related photos that I will be posting at some point later on but may take me some time to pick out. Enjoy the photos from this section of the museum!

First photo is a Priscacara, I had to give up a larger, two piece one to get this one in the trade. I found three small Phareodus which I traded for a bigger one I found, that may go 16 inches, I need to get a better picture of that one. The Diplomystus is the largest one I have ever found at this quarry, hopefully he'll be 16 inches when prepped. I had found a 13 inch one earlier in the week, and I hope I get him too. This one cost me a large mioplosus, but the trades are always fun. I got some other good fish in the trades too, but no pictures yet. Jim Old Dead Things
