Real keichousaurus? Quality of preparation? Complete?
mr.rod posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello all, I'm interested in these keichousaurus brothers. The seller has reserved the matrix for me, and I would love to understand some things before I buy. Better first ask to avoid bad surprises later ;-) Hope some of the experts here can support me. My questions are Is it an original/authentic fossil and not a replica? Guess it is original ;-) The quality of preparation seems to be below average? What is this untypical light-grey cloud around the right brother? Cheap prep? It looks a bit flat to me, not really 3d-look bones, is this from erosion? Is it complete or can you see any enhancement, paint or retouch been made? Thanks a lot everyone in advance. mr.rod- 22 replies

Why is this Stone so flat and sharp on one side? Is it natural or man made?
Golfer posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals
Why is this stone so flat and sharp on one side? Is this natural or man made? Found in a pile of dirt dug from the earth by a utility crew in Queens New York. See size in photo. I feel a thumb and finger hold on one side. It is very sharp. Thank you. -
My backyard has a large area where it's mainly rocky, meaning you can't really dig. Separating it from the "nice" grassy side of the yard is a hill. My daughter and I have found fossils there of bivalves and snails. I've attached some pictures of what I found today. But my question is regard to these tiny, circular, flat pieces that seem to cover the hill (first 3 pictures). I'm thinking they're a fossil of some kind, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help?

Cretaceous Eagle Ford concretion that caught my eye, one part of this disc has what looks like strange sutures but this would be one flat Ammonite if that's what it is so I'm stumped.

Hello guys! Please help to identify if this is a "fish" (it could be one of the very first ) . It is most likely Ordovician. Found in shale block - mud stone Between Montreal and Laval. This is the block: And this is a closer view:

My recent trip to the Maquoketa Formation of Iowa produced a brachiopod that baffles me. It appears to have both shells but it is extremely flat. Help needed with ID!!! Mike

Need help identifying what appears to be a tooth or bone of some sort. Found in the far northeastern part of Iowa (almost South Dakota) about 8 inches deep in the sandy shore of the Big Sioux River. The left and right side appear to be very slightly broken off, as well as what I would assume to be the bottom.

This object came with the whale bone I posted about recently. I'm not sure if it's biological or geological so I figured I'd throw it into the room & see what happens. 8.5 cm long x 4.5 cm wide x 8 mm thick (roughly). Flat with a slight curve. This was the shape when found. I sanded the broken part for better internal views. Pics labeled 4, 5 & 6 are closeups. 4 being the break running from side to side, 5 being the break running lengthwise & 6 a closeup of the outside surface.

Does anyone know what kind of rock this is? It is about 1 to 2" long, about 1" wide, aND 1/8" thick. Medium green in color with subtle white and bluish striations. Appears semi porous, no shine, not beach glass. Small white fossil embedded. This is my first post. I live part time near the northern tip of North Topsail Beach, NC and found this stone there. I have found many shark's teeth, ray ramps, and what I believe to be fossilized bone fragments there. I hope to be a worthwhile, contributing member eventually. In the meantime, I plan t learn from you. Thanks.

Hey guys, i found this bone in southern alberta, i was curious to know what it could be. It is nearly impossible to identify i know, it is a small chunk. But what i find odd is that it is such a flat bone. Smooth surface on either side, the marrow still within. I just done know what sort of bone is this flat
