What is this? Is it real?
M3gal0don_M4n posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Whenever I look at Keichousauruses these always come up. Are they real? If so, what are they? Something has always seemed off about them. -

Aloha. here are two 3d printed models I showed before. The Turtle is selfmade, the Spino not so. I took the time to paint them and quite like the result. Pondered to give the Spino the reddish colour one often sees with fossils from kem kem, but decided rather to colour the "matrix", which is in fact a piece of treebark. Best regards, Jan

This was also found in harrison county wv. I played with the lighting on the first pic to try to see it better. I was just wondering on what it was exactly. At first I just thought it was a fish head. I don't know for sure. Please what do u think?

Help with Bone ID and Turtle Shell, nice shark teeth photos
hokietech96 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi. Miss everyone. Hope all well. It’s been way too long. Went out twice last month in northern NJ. Felt so good to be out in the creeks in nature and get away from all the life snarge. Two finds I need help with and some nice teeth I found. Hope everyone is well. Miss everyone! -
My finds from the other day on the beach at northern Amelia Island.

I’m trying to get better at identification so I labeled the pieces with what I think they are but some I can’t figure out. I would love some guidance if anyone has any input! Thanks Fernandina Beach Amelia Island Florida USA- 3 replies

Greetings, I am working on my next display and am trying to sort through the various pieces of turtle shell. I have attempted to divide and label them as much as I can, using references I will post. This is my first attempt at turtle shell and have relied entirely on examples and available resources, so any correction/confirmation/explanation would be most appreciated. On my paper (in case it's unreadable - tendonitis flaring up so handwriting quality going down), the upper half of the page is carapace, the lower half is plastron, the left half is softshell and the right half is hard shell. I included a composite image which has better focus on each quadrant (terrible lighting today), and a larger image on which I wrote my attempts at further identification. References: This whole thread: This image (location directly on image): This image was very helpful: And these hand-drawn diagrams I found to be most accessible:

Hello everyone, I just finished preparing what I think is a turtle coracoid but I'm having trouble narrowing down the species of it. It has lovely coloring that makes up for being a partial bone and was not a bad prep except for the very then bone at the edge. It measures 14.3cm long 5.4cm wide and 1.9cm thick at the articular surface.

I noticed the fossils of more 'modern' reptiles are not commonly shown/displayed (partly because I think they are fairly common in the U.S. and not viewed as too spectacular), so I thought we might do so here. I'd love to see your croc/alligator and turtle material, especially from various locations!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Got a few IDs to confirm and a couple to check before adding to my shadow boxes. Depending on answers, I might have to re-open one and squish a piece in. These were all collected from the Peace River with FRE guided tour on 26/12/23 (as in previous posts). side note: I took these photos through my lighted standing magnifying glass and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked! I will definitely be continuing with this moving forward. Please excuse the very scratched measuring lines on the stand; proof of why it's important to wear eye protection and a mask during fossil preparation! 1. I think these are all turtle spurs. The last two images are the same object, but wouldn't fit well into a collage.

Hi all, a family member found this 30 years ago near Anza Borrego in southern CA. Looks a lot like juvenile tortoises I've seen in the area. I'm aware that fossil testudines are known from the area, but 1) is this one?, and 2), is a family, genus or species level identification possible from this partial specimen? Thanks. (The ruler is in inches. The specimen itself is about 9cm x 7cm.)
