Hello everybody, My mother and I went to Melbourne for the first time (and this was my first time flying, getting an Uber and getting Uber Eats) to see the temporary exhibit of Victoria, one of the largest and most complete T-rex's ever found. This is the first time a real T-rex has ever came to Australia. And to see the permeant exhibit of Horridus, the world's most complete Triceratops, also the only real trike in Australia. The photos of both really make them look tiny, but they are GIANT!!!! I was super surprised to see (and be able to touch and hold) real dinosaur fossils from the Prince Creek Formation of Alaska!! to my knowledge, no private collector has any Alaskan dino material. As a country boy, I didn't like the city that much, but it was well worth it to see the fossils. Here is a great PDF that shows a lot about this site: beaumaris_fossil_book_museum_victoria.pdf (bayside.vic.gov.au) We went fossil hunting on Beaumaris beach, on an unfortunate time... there was loads of seaweed covering almost all of the ground the locals said it was the worst they'd ever seen it! so we couldn't get to the main site. and the low tide wasn't a very low tide. We did find some fossils though, tones of urchins (likely the genus Lovenia) I did find a couple of interesting bone-like structures that I would like to get identified. I know they just look like funny-looking rocks, but I've seen a lot of fossils from this beach that even I would think is just a funny-looking rock, so I really just picked up anything that remotely resembled something. Also, since the urchins have a bleached saltwater layer on them, should I quickly dip them in vinegar to remove it or not? I didn't do a no-background style photo, just wanted to make sure these are fossils first. Although, a lot of these are probably just ironstone concretions or nodules. I understand doing large photos like this is a bit inconvenient, but I need the photos to be the best quality. There are 8 items to be identified. The site was covered in seaweed and stank! we only had a couple hours there and the smell got to our heads. Bit unlucky. Over to the right, where it is just thick sludge, it was fairly deep, so the other side to find teeth was not accessible. No. 1 I don't know what any of these could be but maybe an ear bone??? No. 2 I don't think this is even a bone, it's probably ironstone, but it is hollow and kind of has a bone-like texture where the break is. No. 3 I found heaps of these along the beach, pretty sure they're nothing, but I don't know. No 4 Bone-like texture?? No. 5 Bone-like texture?? No. 6 Not sure, but maybe a bone?? No. 7 I really do think this is just a rock, but maybe it's not. Not really seeing a bone-like texture but looks interesting and has those holes which is probably geologic. No. 8 Just an ironstone blob or burrow cast?? That's all. Kind Regards Kohler Palaeontology

Hello, I recently found this in the Hell Creek formation in Glendive, Montana. I've been told it's rex, deinosuchus and edmontosaurus lol. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Discovered this piece lodged within a compacted, well cemented limestone unit with other fossils such as bivalves, algae and forams. Most probably of Maastrichtian age, limestone matrix formed during a marine transgression event. Specimen has a shiny coating on top exposed surface (enamel?), flaky in nature. Seems to resemble a tooth. Would like to further enquire on thoughts.

I spent two weeks in the badlands of the world-famous Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota this June with @Jared C after being graciously invited by the trip leader Harrison Duran. While there we made several amazing discoveries (check out the impending whopper of a trip report by Jared to hear all about it soon), but I also found a couple smaller things that I need some help identifying. This bone is one of them. When I first came across it I thought it might be a hadrosaur or ceratopsian ungual because of the silhouette, but the weird texture on the bottom and the ridge on the top seem to rule that out. Then I thought it might be an osteoderm of some sort, maybe from a nodosaur like Denversaurus or the rare Ankylosaurus itself, yet it doesn't seem to quite match any of the examples from those taxa that I've seen online. Any guesses are welcome as I've completely given up on finding out what this thing might be on my own! @ThePhysicist @hadrosauridae

The skull of this animal was found in the village of Zeglud, in the Udmurt Republic (Russia) by the local kids, back in ~2008. They later gave this skull to their school's principal. After some time, a man studying at the Udmurt State University saw this skull and brought it into the university's museum. Years later, the skull was extracted from the rock and identified as that of an undescribed species of Syodon. The latest news are from 2019, and the papers about the specimen were supposed to be published in 2020, but as of yet, nothing has seemingly been published. Photos by Alexander Bakayev.
