Hello! I saw a jaw fragment for sale from the kem kem beds, it's identified as crocodile. I've seen picsc of crocodile jaws before and that they have like a pitted texture, I don't see that very clearly on this one, but since this is out of my expertise I want to ask you guys who has more knowledge. Could it be something else like a spinosaurid?

Small jaw found in Southeast Texas. Looks consistent with the other Pleistocene fossils I've found in the area. Since everyone was able to help with the other jaw, I figured I'd give this one a shot. Thanks for any help!

Yet another Mosasaur jaw
snolly50 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Here is another Mosasaur piece. Please comment, as to its qualities. What jaw positions are represented?

Hi everyone! This has been kind of a labor of love for me for the past few months. About a year ago I acquired a wholesale lot of 1000 Squalicorax pristodontus for use in little fossil collections I make to sell. As I was going through them I noticed the differences in shape and on a whim that turned into a labor of love thought "I'm going to see if I can make a composite jaw of this species". I checked around and couldn't find anything on a reconstructed jaw from S. pristodontus so everything is my own approximation by comparing all the teeth to each other to look for similarities is angle and proportions, similarities to smaller Squalicorax that have been reconstructed, and similarities to the modern Tiger shark (which in my opinion and I think I saw this elsewhere as well has the most similar teeth of any modern shark to pristodontus) to figure out how many teeth where in a row and where to place them. The project took on a life of it's own in my down time and here is the end result. Anyway, I was hoping to get some feedback on it.

Hello friends! I found this piece of Prognathodon anceps jaw for sale. Do you think is real? I appreciate your comments! Thanks

This jaw fragment was found when washing clay that I brought from Carniol. Cretaceous, Aptian, Gargasian. On Reddit it was identified as Saurian and I was hoping (but doubting) a more accurate identification would be possible. Really happy with this find anyhow. more information about Carniol and my trip there

Seller says its Kem Kem. I don't think it is, because it looks like a mosasaur, but I don't think there are any Kem Kem mosasaurs. I don't think the matrix looks like Ouled Abdoun either. It looks like Goulmima to me, so am I right that it is a Tethysaurus jaw? Thanks.

Fighting a sinus infection but made it out to the river today for a brief look. Southeast Texas gravel bar. Mostly Pleistocene, but older fossils are theoretically possible from exposures up river. Didn't find much since the river is up, but my most interesting find was this jaw fragment with some teeth intact. Since the biting surfaces are so worn, I'm having trouble with an ID. Is it possible to ID this based on tooth size/shape/location in the jaw? Or to at least narrow it down more so I can refine what type of teeth I should be comparing it to? Thanks. --Brandy

I bought this a long time ago. The seller only said that it came from Morocco and was in the Cretaceous period. I guess it might be a crocodile jaw?

Hey all This has popped up on a local auction site, I have a couple of Enchodus fangs and a caudal fin in my collection and this jaw section would be a nice addition - if it passes the scrutiny of the experts! Is it Enchodus? Can you spot any repairs? I would assume based on the very fragile nature of the jawbone this is in the original matrix? The ad doesn't have much detail - I've added the only 2 pics supplied --------------------- Enchodus partial jaw fossil from Khourigba, Morocco, North Africa. Upper Cretaceous Period - 90 Million Years Old. Jaw itself is 5cm in length. --------------------

Some more Moroccan unknowns
Earendil posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi again! If you saw my thread from yesterday, you'll know I bought some Moroccan fossils for dirt cheap that turned out to be pretty nice. I went to the same dealer today and bought three more for the same price. I suppose I will start with the worst (most suspicious) first: I saw this vertebra and liked how it looked, so I bought it. I'm totally fine with spending $20 for a vert recreation, too, so no big deal if it's fake. What makes me suspicious is the place where it's chipped, it looked like there was paint flaking off. I guess I'm asking, how much of it is real and what is it supposed to be an imitation of? Okay, next is a Globidens tooth and root in matrix. A little beat up, but still cool: Lastly, a weird jaw that I have no clue about. Like I said, I'm not a vertebrate guy. One of the teeth is banged up and looks repaired, but I thought it was cool anyway: Well guys, thanks for looking, I hope you'll find them as interesting as I did! And I said I'd tag @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon, maybe you can help.

I just returned from a dig near Baker, Montana. I found this part of an Edmontosaurus jaw with the teeth replaced by siderite. I thought it was a rare replacement. If important, the KT boundary was very visible on this ranch. The section is about 3 inches by 3 inches.

This fossil is listed as a Baryonyx tooth with possible jaw underneath. What do members here make of it? Is it possible to tell whether it's a jaw or not alongside the tooth? Formation: Wealden formation, Hastings.

I’m getting kind of a rhino feel from this tooth but I’m just not sure. The shape of this jaw seems really strange.

Another Mosasaur jaw real or fake!? Or somewhere in-between?
PhishermanPhil posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there! I'm new to the forum. I recently picked up a mosasaur jaw, my first fossil. Question is it real or fake, I started doing the research after making the purchase.. Comparing it to other examples, it's somewhere in the middle. It doesn't look totally manufactured, but it also kind of looks to good to be true. Opinions?

I have never found a jaw like this. The only thing I can find that is similar is tapir which would be pretty rare for this area. Found in south central South Dakota. Miocene

Real triceratops bones? Or not?
Josesaurus rex posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I would like to know if someone can help me identify if precisely these remains correspond to triceratops, or to some indeterminate ceratopsian at least. They all say they are from the Lance Formation, with no county, state, or anything. They are different types of bone, which I will detail below. 1. Sect of the jaw 2. Section of the upper jaw 3. Mandibular sect 4. Ungual, foot claw I await your comments, and thank you very much in advance.
