In general, how rare are Rooted Mosasaur Teeth?
Rock Hound posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
How rare is it to find a Mosasaur Tooth, with the Root Preserved? -
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

Traditionally in early January one reviews where one is, and sets goals for the coming year. So as the topic says: What are your palaeontological goals for 2023 ? For myself: I don't get out collecting much. So I would like to go into the field at least once this year. Also, I seem to have added Ammonites to the list of fossils I concentrate on. I want to add a few more, and of course do the research surrounding that.

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.

My mom found this in the Black Forest in Germany when she was really little. This was over 60 years ago. Could it be a fossilized mushroom?

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!

Another Tool For Those Who do Not Have Fancy Prep Equipment
minnbuckeye posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Our Rock and Fossil Club participates in an event called "Day at the Quarry" where children (and adults) with interest in Geology and Paleontology spend an afternoon in a local quarry learning about its operation as well as collecting minerals and fossils. Inside the main tent, one of our members was showing off a collection of crystals for the visitors. In addition, he had brought one of his prep tools to clean out the interior of geodes that the children broke open. It was a textile cleaning gun which shoots a high velocity stream of water, great for cleaning both textiles and rocks!! I was so impressed with its ability to clean, that I ordered one immediately upon arriving home, at a cost of around $50.00. It is visible on the center of his table. As mentioned, it is high velocity and can actually injure your hand if in the way of the stream of water. Here are two examples of its use on brachiopods. What a difference! Takes just seconds. No pin vice can clean out the crevasses as well as this device!!! Though I must divulge, it does NOT remove all of the matrix stuck to some fossils and occasionally will destroy a fossil due to too much pressure. So it is a learning curve in deciding when to use it.

Looking for Nileus trilobites for Trade
Newbie_1971 posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Any nileus trilobites for trade? -
Found this coral head today where I’ve found other agatized coral in the Tampa Bay area in FL. To me it looks suspicious, it has a slightly blue color around its edges and has some botryoidal formations on the outside. It’s not super lightweight though, so I don’t think it’s hollow (or completely hollow). Does this look like it’s worth cutting? Is it likely to have any voids or botryoidal formations inside based on other agatized corals you guys have seen? recorded-478291984396.mp4

Hey guys, any idea what shark this belongs to? It was found on a South Carolina beach.

I am going to start a thread and just add to it as the days go on. Instead of posting alot of threads for each hunt. If that is ok. Jumped out after work today and within 5 minutes I found a slightly damaged whole Flexicalymene. I slowed down a bit today and believe I found another cheek plate, this time loose. I also am adding photos of other finds today, along with a shot of that small trilobite I found the other day, and a new purchased trilobite that was delivered today.
