Hi everyone. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to share a find. I was searching for knappable material along a river in a limestone rich area of central Pa and I found this. It seems to be limestone or chert with tiny teeth or strangely shaped quartz crystals. I can’t be sure so I wanted to share and see if anyone has an opinion. The inclusions feel sharp and are pointy unlike any crystals I’ve ever seen. Thanks for taking a look.

Hi all, I'm relatively new to the fossil world. I've purchased a small number of dino & meg teeth so far from a few (3) dealers but looking for an expanded list of reputable dealers of this sort of material as I build my collection, especially dino (teeth, claws, mostly.) I know public discussion of dealers here is a bit of a no no so hopefully some of you can PM me with any recommendations? Or alternatively, any to be avoided if you feel like sharing this privately also. Mostly interested in better quality specimens, so not ones that have undergone significant repairs/restoration, or which are in poor condition etc. Cheers

Of all the megs I have seen in person and in videos or pictures, I noticed that almost all lack any prominent curvature. Even the posterior teeth lack curvature. Are the megs with curvature a different age than the straight ones? Just wondering what peoples thoughts were.

I finally took a trip to the North Sulphur river last week. There have been a couple good rains so I was hoping that would uncover some stuff. The last couple of trips in 2021 were terrible. All muddy and picked over. This trip was still pretty muddy and little in terms of quality mosasaur material. However I went low and found a lot of smaller material. I wonder if the recent muddyness of the river is due to the lake construction or if the river just hasn't had enough rain lately? Is picture 2 an enchodus jaw? I believe the pictures of item 3 are of a really chipped piece of mosasaur tooth. Still never found a whole one this color. Are the pictures of item 4 pachyrhizodus? I have seen people say these are really small mosasaur but I have always doubted this. Any way to identify item 5? Maybe xiphactinus? Item 6 are the few decent mosasaur pieces i found. Is the second one a phalanges bone? Any idea about 7? It is heavily fossilized so i was thinking cretaceous but the shape makes me think of more recent like pleistocene. And my final question. Is item 8 coprolite? Im terrible at identifying the stuff. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Plant or animal? Irregular part with bi lateral teeth found in Yucatán
BigNick posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all! I found this today on the beach in Yucatan and can’t figure out what it is. It feels like bone and sounds like bone but the teeth are some what flexible. The teeth pattern and shape is irregular and one side seems to have been chopped off. Two local fisherman didn’t have a clue. I’m also not sure it was an animal by the way the teeth originate centered and think it was part of a plant. Does somebody have a clue? Thanks in advance! Niek

Howdy, I bought a mammoth tooth that was clear-coated on one side. Unfortunately, there are dozens of divots in it that I think are caused by the clear-coating. They're quite deep as well. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Got them from Java Indonesia. The seller claimed they are "tiger" teeth. Can someone tell me more about them? Bigger one is 4cm smaller around 3cm.

Tidying up my old shell collection, I found shark teeth that were given to me as a child. I have no indication of where they came from, but they look similar to fossil shark teeth I have come across on some sites. Could someone be able to help me identify them? This reminds me of a Squalicorax teeth This other could be Rhombodus binkhorsti? And those are the other two Thanks every one for the help!

Dinosaur, Reptile, and Amber Collection UPDATE: Shelf #3!
Mousehead posted a topic in Member Collections
Things are getting pretty serious over in The Fossil Zone, so I cleared off a few books and replaced them with fossils. Who needs to read, anyway? Feel free to ask questions about particular pieces. Whole collection: The turtle skull is real, but the surrounding matrix has been stained by the preparator for better visibility. Some here might recognize the new claw that arrived broken in the mail There is a Vinctifer comptoni fish on the back right, along with a negative Grallator footprint, which I can't seem to find a good way to display. New additions here include a croc/turtle egg in-matrix, a Campo del Cielo meteorite, and a few various claws. There's also a piece of the Roman Colosseum, whose origin story I should not divulge. A complete Psittacosaurus foot joins the family. To its immediate left is a Triceratops frill spike. My best-prepared fossil here is the Ichthyosaur rib plate on the right – just incredible work. The little Knightia in the front reminds me every day I need to get a really good fish fossil soon. Amber Time! My favorite time. Rarer inclusions are a mushroom, pill pug, a gigantic damselfly, triple crane flies, a large millipede, caterpillar, a bloated tick/mite, moth with perfect wings, and a small lizard claw. More amber! S-shaped Centipede, multiple termites, a gecko tail, a big fuzzy bee (middle center), and my favorite... ...the back half of a lizard stuck to a leaf on the bottom right. Nice view of that killer centipede here as well! I'm gonna need a new shelf soon, but space is limited here in this tiny NYC studio apartment. Thanks for looking, friends!

Hello, everyone - I found this in a creek in Texas this morning. Initially I thought it was a large tooth, but on closer inspection, it seems like it might be a fossilized palate? With three rows of small teeth? Very odd, but I'm sure one of you will have a simple answer. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Specifics: Solid rock. Seems to be fossilized. Not a modern bone. 6.75" "Long", 3.25" "Wide" and 1.5" "Thick." In this particular creek I've found several Mosasaur (or marine reptile of some sort) vertebrae. Modern bones. Two arrowheads and a spear point. A rock fishing net weight. And innumerable Exogyra fossils. Lots of smaller, fossilized "snail" shells and clams. Nautilus chambers and small pieces of (and whole) Ammonites.

Aurora NC Fossil Festival - “Pits and piles” location?
fossilsrock posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I’m heading to Aurora tomorrow and they mention the “fossil park” with “pits and piles” but I can’t figure out where that is exactly - near the museum? Does anyone know?
