Fossil ID help: Brachiopod, Crinoid Stems, Dolphin tooth, Orthocone Nautiloid
Praefectus posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello. I'm working on organizing my collection and was wondering if anyone could help me with some identifications. Thanks for any help. I don't have any info on this one. I think it is a Mucrospirifer brachiopod. Can someone confirm this? Help with the species name would be appreciated. Thanks. These are crinoid stems. I don't have any further information. Does anyone know the species, where they came from, or the approximate age? Thanks. I think this is a dolphin tooth. It was found on the Ernst Ranch in Bakersfield, California. Can anyone help me identify it further? Thanks. Last, here are some fossils I collected when I was young. They were found near Thermopolis, Wyoming. They were found on one of the paleontology digs that the local museum hosts. I think they are orthoconic nautiloids, but I am not sure. 6 year old me was not taking good notes. Thanks for any ID help.

I found this tooth in a river in the Peak District in the UK. Unsure what it is. I also found an oddly shaped stone not far from there. Please find to follow pictures of the tooth. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to fossil hunting and don't know much yet. I have found lots of shark teeth over the last year, close to 100, but don't know what a lot of them are. The vast majority of my collection is #6 & #9. Those seem pretty common. I have found around 8 of #1 (the one in the photo is the largest), four of #2, two of #3, and around 5 of #7. Numbers 4,5,8,10 are my only finds like those pictured. I would love some assistance identifying these if anyone knows what they are. Please let me know if you would like close ups of any tooth. I would be happy to add some additional photos if necessary. All the best, etj915

Hey all! Hopefully the pics are decent enough. I found this odd looking rock at my feet while out fishing in a creek in South Eastern British Columbia in the East Kootenays region. Any insight or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was recently given a tooth collection a relative of mine has built up over the years and somebody on reddit said that I should come here to verify my ceratosaurus tooth, as he said it is hard to identify one. If anybody could check this out, it would be appreciated.

Just bought some fossils from someone who stopped collecting. There are some trilobites but one is without a label. Can anyone id this one? Thanks

New member. I am wondering what kind of fossil this is. The fossil is almost exactly 1 inch (2.54 cm) wide and the same long and one half inch high. It came from a beach near Jensen Beach.

Hello everyone, Yesterday I was able to go to an exposure of the Kalkberg formation to do some fossil hunting. It was a great trip and I was able to bring back some neat fossils. Most I have been able to ID, although I will post them later for confirmation. But I cannot say the same thing for a few of them as I am really confused as to what they may be. Here is the first, after looking through the Linsley PDF the only thing I found that was somewhat similar is the trilobite Oinochoe pustulosus but I am not sure that this is it. As always, any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Perhaps could somebody help to ID these bajocian brachiopods found last week in a Vendée quarry? Thanks the first on matrix,i think it could be Sphaeroidothyris with a not usual shape

I recently collected at an exposure of the Rochester and McKenzie Formations in Maryland. The ostracod typical of these formations is Kloedinella. While I did find a lot of those ostracods, I also found these two fossils. My initial guess is that they are of a different ostracod, Leperditia. I tried to Google to identify if Leperditia can be found in these Formations but I did not have much luck answering that question. What do you all think? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all, just got into fossils as a hobby, please see my introduction message i just posted. As a MD i have some knowledge on bone structure and shape, ofcourse not perfect with animals. I’ve several fossils found by my dad over the last 20y and myself last months. Literally in the backyard. (<< Town in Holland aka the Netherlands, Europe>>) Crucial in this is area is used for sand mining. This has resulted in a large lake, with depts up to 100meter (200+ft i believe. The water is fed by an old river, called ‘oude ijssel’. I will split this in batches, to keep things orderly. thank you so much A: Egg? Was one piece but dropped it. B: vertebrae of what? Looks like bone to me, the verbebrea part. With clear distinction to what i believe is soft tisseu with skin ( 1 side)

Sorry for poor image quality, this photo was taken through a microscope in order to get a visible picture. its only 1.5mm/0.06in long. This stunning little tooth was found in Bristol near the seven bridge, a long with a cluster of other teeth & bone, in supposedly 210 miliion year old rock were an ocean used to be. I was hoping this one could be identified due to its uniqueness.
