  1. Found this for sale somewhere, they are advertising it as a gar scale, but I don't think it is, although I could definitely be wrong. My first thought was maybe a scute of a crocodile, but I think that is also not it. Any ideas/ Thank you so much everyone in advance!
  2. Like the title states… we are stumped. Found on the Kaw River as well. Thank you in advance, all suggestions appreciated!

    Echinoderm plate

    From the album: Fossildude's Middle Devonian Fossils

    Echinoderm plate from Arkona. Possibly a crinoid calyx plate.

    © 2023 Tim Jones

  4. Hi An elderly friend asked me if I could help find out what this is. Any help would much appreciated. I don't know where it was found (but will check). It is about the size of a biscuit. thanks Giles

    Baby turtle fossil

    Would love some background on this. I've seen Green River Formation fossils with big turtles before but never a tiny little fossil turtle. Unfortunately I don't know the provenance or the age. Any ID on this one? The scale in the background is centimeters. Thanks.
  6. Hi, The seller seems to be upfront about a few of the fingers being enhanced and the matrix having been repaired/glued to some mason board or something. Any red flags about the rest?

    Help with Dogfish identification

    We just got back from the Denver show, and while we were there we picked up this really nice fish fossil plate from Lebanon. What makes it special is that one of the 3 fish is supposedly a Dogfish. Unfortunately, we didn't get much other information from the dealer, so I'm hoping someone here can help us out with a few questions: 1. Any idea what species this dogfish is, and is this technically a shark or is it a relative of a shark? 2. Any idea what the age would be? Thanks! -Brian

    Dunkleosteus armor/possible jaws

    From the album: Sharks and fish

    Front side of armor which I believe could be the edge of the jaws! It comes to what would have been the razor sharp shearing edge, greatly worn down now, though. I also believe it could be the jaw because of the clear vertical wear lines on the surface, from being sheared against the inner surface of the other jaw, which is how they kept the edges razor sharp like scissors. I have seen similar wear lines on placoderm shearing jaws, so what I believe to be reasonable observations point to the possibility(maybe even likely?)of being from the cutting edge of the jaws.

    Show us your Scutes!

    Scutes are thickened bony dermal plates that can be found on turtles, crocodiles, birds, and many other animals. Because they are made of hard material, they are more likely to fossilize and remain preserved for millions of years. My personal fossil collection, which consists of an estimated 7,000-8,000 specimens, contains only a few scutes, which leads me to believe they are a rather uncommon find. Of course, this could very well only be the case with the geologic formations that I have collected from. Perhaps scutes are plentiful at other fossil sites around the world. I will include a few examples of the scutes from my collection. I encourage any members who have scutes in their collections to share pictures and details on their animal of origin, location at which they were collected, and size. Hopefully we'll all get to see some incredible specimen and collectively obtain a better understanding of scutes! Thanks in advance to all who will share! Pictured, in order: Crocodile scute, Calvert Formation, ~1 in. Ray scute, Calvert Formation, 3/4 in. Ray scute, Calvert Formation, 1/2 in. Boxfish scute, Aquia Formation, 3/4 in.
  10. Hello I have some thin limestone plates that contain fossils. Some are only 1/4 inch thick. I would like to strengthen them with a plaster backing. Is plaster of paris the only ingredient you use or are other strengthening or adhesive agents used? Perhaps to help attach the plate more firmly? Help would be appreciated Thanks

    Show us your Hash Plates

    Hash plates are among my favourite of fossils and they are fantastic to photograph. So please add some of your beautiful photographs of your stunning plates. Properly one of my favourite Hash Plate. I found it in a river in Wales Uk when I was 16 and camping . It reminds me of the The Nazca Lines , Nazca Desert, in southern Peru.
  12. I’m lost on this one. It’s stone/fossilized with what appears to be a bone type interior. Found in Venice, Florida while snorkeling. Any help is appreciate.

    Scyphocrinites elegans

    From the album: My collection in progress

    Scyphocrinites elegans Zenker 1883 Location: Boutschrafin, Erfoud, Morocco Age: 420 Mya (Pridoli, Silurian) Measurements: 20x12 cm (plate) Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Echinodermata Subphylum: Crinozoa Class: Crinoidea Subclass: Camerata Order: Monobathrida Family: Scyphocrinitidae
  14. Dragonfly, purportedly originally from Jurassic Daohugou Biota, China. Preservation looks rough enough to maybe be real, but I don't know much about insects that aren't encased in amber.

    Graptolites??

    Graptolites Geniculograptus typicus (Hall) Genus: †Cryptolithus; Green, 1832 Phylum: Arthropoda Kingdom: Animalia Kope formation Upper Ordovician 450 million years old Carroll County, kentucky A purchased item, information on the tag.

    Osteoderm--glyptodont?

    Found this in South Texas sandy gravel matrix. Pleistocene era. It's pretty small. But could this be a glyptodont osteoderm? It doesn't look like the turtle/tortoise pieces I normally find. The seams are very pronounced, and the grain on broken places is very fine and not as spongy as the turtle pieces.

    Morning all!

    How's everyone's day going so far? It's not even 9am yet for me, and, already, I've smashed a plate and trashed my shoes... So I was just making breakfast, y'know, as, uhhh, people do, and, I dropped the plate... Oops? As you can imagine, this didn't go down well with the others in the house, and, it went down even worse when I started taking pictures of the break... It's not my fault it showed conchoidal fracture! I figured you guys might like to laugh at my idiocy, so here's the pictures: Oh, almost forgot about the shoes! So, they're bright white trainers (sneakers), and, uhm, it was muddy outside, and I wore them instead of wellies (rain boots)... Yay me! They're in the washing machine now, oopsie daisy... On a happier note, I've ordered an adaption cable for my dad's old Commodore Vic-20... That's right, this bad boy: Apparently, my dad used to code in this, in Basic - I learnt this fact years after I got into programming... Must run in the family! Feel free to share your stories, preferably featuring breaks so I can feel better about myself! Stay safe all, cheers
  18. Hello! Wanted to double-check the authenticity on this Hyphalosaurus fossil, or if it's been modified/composited in any way. Also, I know it's subjective but is this a nice enough specimen to consider buying?
  19. This looks authentic to me but I wanted to be sure. The fossils in the background of these photos kind of raised some red flags for me, especially the air holes in the trilobite mortality plate on the left. Ichthyosaur bones on a fossil plate, origin is listed as Posidonia Shale Formation, Holzmaden, Germany. Thanks friends!

    Prehistoric crocodile

    Found these partial plates in the sawmill creek I am curious to know what the long pieces in the top right corner are found them with the plates if anybody with more information could help please found in Summerville ,South Carolina sawmill creek

    North Carolina Puzzler

    Never seen one like this before, and after scouring my books I've come up with a blank for ID. Maybe a fish crushing tooth, or a plate, or even some loose teeth fused together? Possibly some kind of scute?? But from what, or am I way off base? What do ya' think? Collected from an Early Pleistocene, Waccamaw formation site, Columbus Co, Southeastern North Carolina. The site is primarily a shell bed, with some fish bits, and an occasional small shark tooth. Scale is 1mm.
  22. I recently purchased this along with a number of other fossils. The only drawback was that there was absolutely no information to be had on them, but I jumped at it since it was such a good deal. Now I'm hoping that somebody out there may have an idea what type of wood this is and where it might come from.
  23. From my farm pond dig site. Brachiopods with pyrite. 70 MM. 2 views, Allegan County West Michigan. Plus 2 more one week ago.

    Sandy Siltstone Plate

    This plate was in with a bunch of other fern fossils I picked up. What all can you tell me you see in it please.
