I compared this to other manatee ear bone fossils online and it certainly matches up but I found this yesterday morning on the beach in Lewes Delaware. Thoughts?

I found this in northern Michigan while out petoskey stone hunting. I’m guessing it’s a petrified mushroom. Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi there, reposting with more information. I came across this in the Canadian Arctic, Nunavut. Realizing that the Arctic was once tropical, I am wondering if this is a fossil from that era. It is about 3 inches in length. Thanks!

Anyone know what these might be? Found on beach in northeast Florida. For #1 - my first thought was maybe a tilly bone? It definitely has some symmetry.. I can almost make out a little face lol. For #2 - I was thinking fish skull plate? Not sure what kind. Thanks in advance!

Just have a curious mind and the more I look it over the more it makes me think it’s not a ordinary rock The edge is bladed just like a tooth is on one side 🤷♂️

Singapore Fossil Collectors 2023 End-year gathering!
-Andy- posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
2012 gathering 2013 gathering 2014 gathering 2015 gathering 2016 gathering 2017 gathering 2018 gathering 2019 gathering Hi everyone, the Singapore Fossils Collector had our annual meet-up again! I last stated in 2019 it'd be the last event at my place due to my new responsibilities with marriage and a new house looming. Little did we know that the biggest hurdle of all would be Covid And so for 4 years, all SG collectors gatherings were suspended. Much has changed. I am now a father, and I just got my own place 4 months ago! With my wife's permission, I finally got to host the annual gathering for Singapore fossil collectors again! This time, we even had friends from Malaysia and Vietnam joining! To be honest, my new place is still messy, and most of the labels have not been printed. Still, I didn't want to delay the gathering to 2024, else we might not get to meet our overseas friends, so I hosted the meet-up First up, a quick look at some of my cabinets: And soon, guests began to pour in: Some good trades going on! Group photos: Some of my acquisitions for the day: (For those wondering, these are mostly a mix of Malaysia and Vietnamese fossils. There are many copal from Malaysia that I did not photograph here) Thank you for viewing, and see you again next year! All in all, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and form new friendships, so all in all, I'd say it's a success! If any of you are visiting Singapore, don't hesitate to ring me up!- 8 replies

Hi I'm pretty new to fossil hunting, but it's something my daughter (age 4) has taken a real shine to. We were at Longniddry beach at the weekend having a look around and I found the pictured item. Wondering if it might be "something"? Really not sure, just feels and looks different to everything else we picked up. Thanks for your help!

Picked this up out of the Chesapeake Bay today 9/9/24. Measures approx 2.5" long by approx. 1" wide at the widest. This is from an area where in the past I have found 3" and smaller megladon teeth, eardrum fossils, and hundreds of other fossilized teeth, etc. Thanks for any help in identifying. (Apologize for the last photo it was a little blurry).

Can anyone identity this rock/fossil? It's heavy. I found it a few days ago in a creek bed in North West Arkansas. CMGPH_20240910_081512423.mp4

Let's see y'alls unusually/beautiful colored fossil teeth! Can be mammal, dinosaur, shark, etc. - you name it. While rarity of a species is always accounted for, often the beauty or color rarity of fossils is underappreciated. I think this will be a fun thread; here's my entry to get the ball rollin'. This is what inspired me to start this thread actually: An unusually colored 'Giant Beaver' incisor fragment I found in E Kansas Glacial material. These are almost always black. Have fun!

Is this Keichousaurus genuine or fake?
Interapter posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I bought it about a month ago. It's a very bizarre posturing I've never seen before, but I'm also scared sometimes because I think it might be a fake. If it's like being painted on genuine stuff, it doesn't matter. -
Wear facets on Theropod and Megalania teeth
Kohler Palaeontology posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello, I was looking at one of my troodontid teeth (Albertavenator curriei) and noticed some very interesting wear facets. I decided to look at some of my favorite teeth and/or the ones with the strangest wear facet and check out all their wear facets. I wanted to share them with the community. You can clearly see scratches of where the tooth entered the flesh, especially on the first one. Here's the first tooth, it looks blacker in person, the photo makes it look brown. Here's another troodontid tooth, there are marks on the wear facet, it is just harder to make out and this tooth was a challenge to photograph. I made this diagram years ago, all the others I made today. There are at least 2 prominent scratches. This diagram shows the puncture and pull method of most theropod dinosaurs. Puncture-and-Pull Biomechanics in the Teeth of Predatory Coelurosaurian Dinosaurs. Hope you all enjoyed, I will not be able to reply for next 4-5 days, as I am going south to Victoria to see the world's most complete Triceratops and Victoria the Tyrannosaurus on display at a museum, I will probably make a post about that when I can. Kind Regards, Kohler Palaeontology -
