Hi all , new to this site, but thought would take advantage of your collective knowledge. The other day we found this rock/bone fossil while walking on Lyme Regis beach, Jurassic coast, Dorset, UK. We thought it might be a plesiosaur rib or part of a paddle bone?. Any help gratefully received. Thanks

I bought this ammonite fossil a few years ago at Blautopf, Blaubauren Germany. I cannot identify what species it belongs to, can please somebody help me? Blautopf is on the Swabian Jura's southern edge. According to my research, the Swabian Jura is made of limestone which formed during the Jurasic period and many fossils have been found from that period in the area, so this ammonite must have lived during the Jurasic. The main fossil in the first picture is a little less than 5 centimeters long. Next to the fossil there is another fossil, which is about a centimeter and a half long and looks like the outer part of another ammonite's shell. Above that smaller fossil is a third one, twice the size of the small one, which could be a part of the same ammonite with the small one. Also, the fossil looks kinda shiny, could this have been done for preservation purpuses or maybe be fake? If you also cannot identify the ammonite's species, can you please help me narrow down my research, for example by suggesting me an atlas or something similar with a list of ammonite species that have been found at Blautopf?

I found the fossil attached a while ago in Tyrol, Austria. More preciselly, in the valley of Brandenberg in which many beautiful fossils can be found (mainly gastropods and ammonits). I am having a hard time to identify the fossil below and I am also not so experienced. Could i be a crown of a crinoid? The size of the fossil is around 8cm. Unfortunately, the stone is very porous and it almost falls apart.

Hi everyone! Archaeologist here, looking for help with an Ammonite ID 😄 My dad and I found these two Ammonites near Sherborne in Dorset, UK. If anyone is able to tell me the species/age, I would be so grateful!

Someone recently gave me a beautiful fossil tooth from the Jurassic Coast as a gift. More specifics of the Black Ven Cliff between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, UK. Can anyone help me identify this tooth?

Hello again, Does anyone recognize this fossil? Found in late Jurassic rock of the Boulonnais, France. Partly marine and terrestrial conglomerate. Its symmetric and the underside is flat. I feel its either some sort of scute or a steinkern or imprint of something. But of what? regards, Niels

I found this in the Lehigh river in Lehighton, PA while kayaking this summer. Im not sure what it is or if its possible to be a dinosaur egg. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. The state of preservation of Magila is mostly poor, which becomes understandable when you consider that Magila was a burrowing crustacean living in the ground. Therefore, a more calcified carapace was not necessary. Only the exceptionally wide claws are mostly well preserved. These probably also served for digging. Diagnosis from Garassino & Schweigert 2006, p. 22: “Carapace cylindrical laterally flattened; deep cervical groove strongly directed forward; one or two carinae weak in antennal region; rostrum short and edentate; antennal spine well developed; pereiopods I-III chelate; pereiopod I larger and stronger than pereiopods II-III; pereiopods IV-V achelate; uropodal exopod with diaeresis.” Line drawing: References: Garassino, Alessandro & Schweigert, Günter (2006).

Hello everyone! My friend just found this one on the river bank. I just look at the formation there that is from early Jurassic. But about this species they didn’t find before so it not on the fossil list. As I just think this is Psiloceras because it look very similar to that species in Uk. Do you have any idea about this fossil please help me! Thanks

Hello everyone. I am sorting out some old finds in this lockdown period. This one was found in the Boulonnais area, North of France. Upper Jurassic, mainly marine sediments. I have always assumed this is a humerus or femur of a sea reptile with missing joints. Plio- or plesiosaurus. There is a big muscle attachment. Can anyone confirm or not? Regards, Niels
