Hi everyone. I received this ichthyosaur tooth from holzmaden, probably ohmden quarry, but I can't identify the genus. in the holzmaden area there are many species of Ichthyosaur. Maybe the most common is Stenopterygius. Can anyone help me identify this tooth please? Size approximately 1,5 cm

First up, I am not claiming that casts are of equal importance to the actual skeleton. I am annoyed however I come across arguments by anti-collectors that it is not feasible for museums to cast fossils in private collection. The recent rediscovery of the "Proteosaurus" casts should prove beyond any doubt that while a cast isn't on par with the original, they can still provide invaluable research data to paleontologists. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.220966 I hope that more paleontologists can consider partnering with private collectors and vice versa. I am sure the majority of private collectors would be happy to loan their fossils to museums -
Hello to all forum users! Glad to join you. I would like to share photos of some of my findings. Now there is an opportunity to post only a small part - the topic will be gradually supplemented. So, the finds of marine reptiles from the Cenomanian of the Cretaceous period of Ukraine. Several photos of the crown of the Ichthyosaurus tooth.

The photos below show two juvenile/hatchling ichthyosaurus species from Yunnan, China. They are from two different localities but are close by. As they look quite different, are they different species? And any idea what species they are?

This is supposed to be a Stenopterygius vertebra from Holzmaden, Germany. But is it? Could be a fish vert? (Xiphactinus audax?)

Hello! I have collected a large amount of material on marine reptiles. Origin - Cenomanian of Ukraine (phosphorite layer). After sorting through the material, I can offer 4 lots for trading. The first three are approximately the similar lots (small bones in phosphorites). 4th lot - also the bones of the Cenomanian, but mostly bony fish. If you are interested in such material, please contact me in PM. Have a nice evening -
Grey limestone and white chalk, Jurassic and Cretaceous fieldtrip.
Manticocerasman posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A new fieldtrip to the coast of northern France this Saturday. In the morning we prospected the beaches with Jurassic deposits whit a few friends. Not an easy place to look for fossils, but Natalie fond a large Ichthyosaur vert and I found a neat little echinoid in the shingle. At noon our local friends hat to go, so Natalie and I made a stop a little more up North on our way home. We went to the beaches at the chalky Cretaceous cliffs. Here we had a lot of luck, the sea had cleaned up the cliff falls that had occurred a few weeks back. In a short amount of time we managed to find around 6 complete Acanthoceras ammonites scattered on the beach. Time to hit the prep table again The jurassic ( Titonian ) site: The Cretaceous ( Cenomanian )site Prepping pictures will follow

Hello, I recently found a guy who has offered to sell me this complete Ichthyosaurus and a Keichousaurus and I was wondering if you guys see any Red Flags. It’s from China but he didn’t specify. I don’t see anything too obvious but I wanted some of your guys’s thoughts. Regards, indominus rex

Hi I would like to identify this vertebra I bought on an auction site. It is from France (Pas-De-Calais). I think it might be from an Ichthyosaurid allthough it is quite big and thick (8,5cm diameter and 4,5cm wide) My second guess is Plesiosaurid. Feel Free to share any details and thank you for leaving comments Thomas
