It is From the lower jurassic And it comes From Luxemburg

Recently, I found many fossilized bones, including a lower jaw, buried in clay next to a riverbank in Greece. I surfed the internet to get more information about that place and discovered it was very close to another site on the same river where Miocene bones were found (about 50 species, mainly mammals). I cleaned the jaw bone and then noticed that the teeth were missing, and I couldn't identify whether it was a carnivore or a herbivore. I would appreciate it if anyone could recognize any characteristics and maybe find what animal it belonged to. (In the known locality there were found rhinoceros, apes, turtles, hyenas, gazelles, lions, saber-toothed cats, other felines, various species of giraffes, bovines, bears, deer, horses, boars, primitive elephants and chalicotheres)

I've wanted to make a video about some of the jobs in paleo for a while now. I was lucky enough to interview 12 professionals from across New Zealand, Australia, the United States and UK about how they got started in their roles. I tried to have a mix of different roles but I have only scratched the surface! I would love to hear about other potential careers I could highlight! Edit: Here are the links to the different segments in the video: 01:10 Sophie Kelly (just completed masters) 04:54 George Young (just completed masters) 06:56 Adele Pentland (PhD candidate) 17:02 Felix Marx (Curator vertebrates) 22:23 Alan Tennyson (Curator vertebrates) 27:06 Cheng-Hsiu Tsai (Associate professor) 32:18 Andrew Cuff (Postdoc researcher) 37:52 Nic Rawlence (Associate professor) 44:54 Carl Mehling (Senior museum specialist) 57:08 Mary Chitjian (Archeologist) 01:04:27 Keely Sweeny (Fossil prepper & business owner) 01:09:57 Al Mannering (Fossil prepper)

Hi, Everyone. We found some more odd fossils yesterday and I decided to put a few out for identification. I added a shot of all of them together next to a centimeter ruler for size and comparison, the rest are individual items. One looks an awful lot like a pecan, but turned out to be a brown, striated stone. As always, I’m here to learn. Thanks. Jon

So I haven't posted for awhile. It is not due to me not going out. But less of a needful thing to post I guess. Anyhow. I figured I would toss some photos in here as I sit and wait, hahaha! Many of these are purchases of some very cool fossils! I hope you enjoy!

Found on the beach in my hometown (Charleston, SC) a few months ago-
DoubleD843 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Upon first glance I was thinking potentially trilobite related, however trilobite’s caudal region typically tapers down/smaller. Secondly- I noticed that the gray striations area of the fossil seemed to have once been completely intact circumferentially around the black porous portion. Needless to say- I am stumped!

Myliobatis Latidens(?); Eagle Ray- tooth plate? **bonus points** anyone able to ID the rock/mineral as well??
DoubleD843 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Initial thoughts after doing quite a bit of research- Eagle Ray tooth plate. Not 100% sure on this. As far as the specific rock/mineral containing the fossil….perhaps rose quartz? Totally a shot in the dark here. Would appreciate any feedback!

North Carolina Megalodon

Is this tooth legit ? I believe it is from North Carolina. I understand that it’s not in an amazing condition but is it real ? 0A1D9369-7446-41B6-9D01-AFEC8BDE6077.mov -

I found this rock hiking along side a small creek in northern Ohio in Erie county, only a few miles from Lake Erie. The brown piece is not magnetic. The rock seems to be limestone which this area has a lot. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Michael

Hello from Bear DE USA

A customer/friend of mine has bought a nice meg tooth and a bivalve from me for his boss for Christmas. He would like to get him a fossil book for a gift now too. He says one that covers marine and land would be good. Something to spark his imagination but also to learn from. He is looking to spend £30 to £40 on it, any pointers would be good please?

Hello Everyone.. New Member From San Bernardino CA
HideousCorrectness posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hello! My name is Elaine Scott. I am a new member to the forum. Exploring the mountains in the high desert and rock/fossil hunting is a hobby of mine. I have a small collection of interesting items. Some of which I will ask for help identifying, I look forward to feedback! I see there's soo much content to explore on this site I'm pretty sure I'll spend the next several hours (and many more in days to come) scrolling through it all. I hope everyone has a great day! -

Hi, can someone recommend me some good fossil prepping tools on Amazon for under 200 even if it’s an air scribe with a compressor, total under 200. Please attach pictures if you can thank you:))))

I recently found this partial tooth in Florida and I really think it’s dire wolf. It looks exactly like the upper carnassial dire wolf teeth online. The only measurement i have is that the thickest part of the enamel from top to bottom is 17mm thick, not accounting for wear. Can you guys confirm/deny? Thanks! filtered-3F76D20A-199B-4B93-8957-ACB17287FC39.mp4

Hi, I have several recent finds, all on one property, here in N. W. CT. These finds are new to the area, and I first want to show photos of petrified wood, I have found here, in several different varieties,including different types of rocks making them up.

Are these rocks fossils ? Thanks!

Is there anyone else on here who collects large shark vertebra? I am mainly interested in the ones from the USA. Although I have a bunch of ones from Morocco and all of them, or at least, most of them are over 4 inches.
