Hi forum, while waiting for the preparation of the fossil in my other topic i started cleaning a new piece, collected in the same quarry, Solnhofen (DE) i collected it because it showed the classic depressions typical of the presence of a fossil underneath, as you can see in the first picture while digging, it keeps popping out teeth (and i'm really happy about it). can you please tell me what animal it is so i can search some pitures online and better understand the shape below the rock before keep digging? i know it is still dirty, especially on teeth, i still have hours to work on it thanks a lot Best regards Paolo

Hi these what look to be possible prints Were found on our property in east tennessee on a rock that is in our backyard. I am just wondering if this could possibly be any type of fossil footprint? And if it is possible what could it possibly be? Any opinions or insights as to what this could possibly be would be much appreciated and I thank you all in advance.. Oh and I need to add that I am also posting pictures of a cassette we made that shows detail a lot better than what the pictures could because it's so hard to see it in the rock. It is about 14 inches long and about 6 and a 1/2 inches wide at the longest and widest parts. If you look closely you can see definition of what looks to be claws and the actual print cast that we took doesn't have the middle toe. Because the middle toe wasn't connected with the actual print. It was like it was stuck in, but separate like it was lifted or something, if that makes any sense.. So there's a third toe in the middle, that isn't being shown on the cast. But you can see it on the pictures.. And one last thing to note that may be of importance, There is another print that's tiny, but it's exactly like the big one that's right with the big print.. So we didn't know if maybe this was possibly a mother and child print. If so, the little guy got one print in as well. Thanks again for any opinions or insight.As to what these could possibly be and have a wonderful day!

Is this complete, composite, reconstructed or fake? I am thinking definitely not fake, but always better to have second opinion. It is from Tiouraren formation, Niger. The sooner I get a reply the better, as it goes in 3 days. If needed, I can give more photos.

This was found in a dried up creek bed in Arizona, near Tombstone, Arizona. At first I seen the crystals sparkling and thought, "cool an old 'Hag Stone'. ...in the desert???" On further inspection it kind of has a distinct shape. Also the hole look much like sinuses in a skull, possibly bird.

Hello all, After a family vac in Georgia I am driving up up the East Coast by myself. Looking for any tips on places to find Megalodon teeth . I've heard some creeks in South Carolina can be good . I obviously don't expect anyone to give away their honey hole but if anyone could point me in a direction of something recently productive I would be extremely appreciative. I've done the boat ride I Tybee several times with mild success but nothing great aside from having over 300 counted misquote bites during one visit. At any rate I like to adventure and have always wanted to find a quality Meg tooth. I'll be dropping the wife and kid at the savannah airport and heading north. I'm not married to SC if someone has any suggestions I'm open. Thanks to anyone in advance. Brandon -
From the album: Missouri Conulariids
Hello! Here is another Conulariid I've been meaning to post for some time now. Visible nodules are present in what would have been the gastric chamber when they were alive. I believe this is a secondary effect from when the animal died and the phosphate-rich sediment went into its systems. I believe these would normally be found in the Muncie Creek but this one eroded out of the reincorporated Muncie Creek in the Paola. -
Real or fake brachiosaurus phalange
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, Im planning to buy this phalange supposedly from brachiosaurus. I asked the seller how it ended up being identified as a brachiosaurus and he said that it's because it was found in a digsite where there was nothing found there beside 2 partial brachiosaurus skeleton. This fossil was found in the morrison formation size= 6 inch wide 6 inch long 5 inch at the tallest point weights around 24 lbs/11kg

Found this specimen in a dry riverbed near Holden Utah. There are many circular and oval like depressions throughout. Looks similar to pine cone shape and indentations or stigmaria roots. Any thoughts? Cheers. Appx. 3.5” x 4.5” @ 1.5lb

From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period
This tooth most likely belongs to the Raytown Limestone member of the Iola Limestone formation. I found this during late March/Early April. I call this my first Peripristis tooth as I happened to find one 2 hours away from this locality a few days ago. I will upload that one later.- 4 comments

Hi forum, i recently went to Solnhofen quarries (DE). I found some cool pieces and an amazing little shrimp! This one piece instead is something a little new to me. It looks half bones half cartilage...i can't tell. It should be something fish-related but i can't tell, it can be something totally different. I'd like to know which part of the body it is to better understand how to continue preparation wihout damaging it. The big middle bone looks strange, very thin and transparent on the border and more thick and orange/brown in the center. same as the cartilaginous part in the left. no clue i report some flash/noflash picture also in different angles. the sand around is a little dark because it is wet. the total uncovered length is about 4cm Thanks a lot Best regards Paolo

I found this rock in Michigan, USA. I was wondering what this strange looking fossil is. If it is a fossil. My original guess was a horn coral fossil, but I’m not sure.

I can’t figure out what this strange looking fossil is.
Maximus the rock hunter posted a topic in Fossil ID
This fossil looking thing is very weird. It seems as if it has white scales on it, and squares all over it. Even weirder is this stair case looking thing on the other side, probably by corrosion. But it looks like it has a cubic lattice structure but I don’t know. This was found in the USA, it was found in Michigan.

I found a few more pieces of what I thought was crocodile at first but now I'm not so sure. Then started thinking could be drum fish part but the photos I seen looked a bit different. So thought I'd ask. They are from north carolina. #1 (top) #2 (bottom)

Hi there. I found this about 30 years ago in the Kananaskis area of Alberta. I believe I was told that is was a horn coral fossil by a colleague that I worked with, when I worked at the Calgary Zoo. Can someone verify this for me? Thanks.

Please help me identify these fossils in a beach rock. Found on the central Oregon coast.

Posting some of the fossil was finding from Florissant thought was nice. Been having fun looking through shale, hopeful will found more later. #1 (Thinking it maybe moss) (it was to bad the better/darker half was paper thin and broke to pieces but this was still nice) #2 (Thinking its seed or fruit) ( like the first photo to bad part broke off) (next photo is second half is full) #2 (second half thinking seed or fruit) #3(nice little insect) #4(nice weevil) (second half was glued near first) #5(nice insect)

Alright everyone, let's hear the reason behind the screen name you chose. Surely there has to be some good ones. I will start with mine "sixgill pete" So, those of you who know me, at least digitally if not personally know my name is Don, not "pete". My favorite teeth have always been cowshark teeth, especially the Hexanchus or sixgill cow shark. One day about 18 years ago I was at some piles of material from the Lee Creek mine (Aurora) on private property with my grandson Nick. Normally in the piles if you find a cowshark, it is Notorhynchus (sevengill). Well, that day I had found 2 sevengills already when I came across a decent sixgill tooth Hexanchus gigas. My first sixgill. Root was not complete, but a decent tooth. I looked at my grandson and said I got one a sixgill tooth and his reply was "Papa for now on I'm going to call you sixgill pete when we are fossil hunting. So it kinda stuck. And, he still does at times today, at 24. So what is your story?
