Little shark teeth make me happy. Today we got two Synechodus teeth in the mail. Paid for 1, got 2. 

 

Synechodus lerichi

Cretaceous

Kazakhstan

 

I don’t have the formation in front of me but they are nice teeth. We should have our Jurassic Synechodus and Paraorthacodus teeth from the UK before Christmas

My latest acquisition, an Ichthyosaur communis. Needs a little work.

Wow, that is very nice.

Can't wait to see what it looks like after  you finish it up.

Stunning.

Hi guys,

Haven't been on here in a while, so here are a few of the things I have acquired over the past few weeks.

Along with these I also have St.Petersburg fossils that I will post later as I don't have pictures of them yet.

The first image are some neat ammonoids preserved in hematite, love these guys although I do not have a precise ID for them.

Next is a cool Hexagonaria sp. That I was able to get for really cheap.

Then some cambrian brachiopods from Utah Schizambon typicalis.

And finally an Ellipsocephalus hoffi from the Czech republic.

Very nice indeed. 

I really must get hold of some of those brachiopods, they're great. 

The goniatite could be Prionoceras from the Erfoud area of Morocco.

Or not.

I think kdfossils might have some on online,

They are pretty neat.

Hello everyone,

As promised here are my new friend from St.Petersburg:

1. A pair of incomplete Illaenus trilos, but one has a pretty pygidium and the other a very nice thorax.

2. An Asaphus trilo just as complete as the two before it.

3. Another Illaenus but this one is deceptive, the image makes it look similar to the others in size when it is truly a monster, it's about the size of the first three put together, would have been my largest trilo if it was complete.

4. The last Illaenus, this little roller is the best preserved of all the trilobites the only damage I see is a part of the "cheek" is detached on the left and most of the eye is missing in that same place.

The last two are pretty little cystoids

Me too, the second has really cool detail on its surface.

Agreed, very beautiful, but I adore the shape, presevation and colour of the first one.

We decided to discuss Abelisauridae more in our programs so we got this nice .75” Kem Kem tooth to augment what we already have. An inexpensive way to add some Theropod material.

Fantastic fossil John. Excellent acquisition.

a good sized 7.2” Trike piece that will get a lot of use for us. It was a bargain too which we love !

Nice batch of acquisitions... I've got a Utah Cambrian brach and of course the Ellipsocephalus, but still need to get me one of those St. Petersburg trilo and a cystoid. I've seen them around but haven't managed to pull the trigger yet.

Any idea where the Hexagonaria is from?

I am guessing it may be from Michigan but it came with no label and the seller didn't know much about any of the fossils he had.

[ziggycardon]

I didn't really have much time to post them yet, but this is my last haul from a fossil fair a week ago!  

 

A slab with some Stenopterygius ribs & vertebra found in the Posidonia Shale in Dotternhausen in Germany (Jurassic, 183 - 179 mya)

A Echinocorys sp. found in Lixhe (near Liège), Belgium (Cretaceous, 70 - 66 mya)

A Mesacanthus pusillus found in Achanarras Quarry, Caithness, Scotland (Devonian, 385 mya)

A Manticoceras intumenscens found in Lompret, Belgium (Devonian, 365 mya)

A Balteurypterus tetragonophtalmus found in the Bagovitsa formation in Ukraine (Silurian, 427 mya)

Multiple Phacopidina sp. trilobites found in Bretagne in France (Ordovicium)

A Cretalamna biarticulata tooth found in Khouribga, Morocco (Cretaceous, 70 mya)

A Squalicorax pristodontus tooth found in the Sibbe quarry (a closed quarry in the Maastricht area) in the Netherlands (Cretaceous, 70 - 66 mya)

Multiple Neohibolites minima found in Wissant, France (Cretaceous, 113 - 100 mya)

2 Igdamanosaurus aegyptiacus teeth found in the phosphate mines in Khouribga, Morocco (Cretaceous, 70 mya), the same slab also included the Cretalamna tooth and it also has a Enchodus tooth, a small prognathodon tooth and a few fish verts in it

And a slab with mutiple Ginkgo adiantoides leaves, found in Sentinel Butte formation, Morton County, North Dakota, USA (Paleocene)

I had a big batch waiting on me today after being gone a week.  Posted the other 3 cool deliveries in their own posts but I will put my 2.2 inch Mossasaur tooth here.  It's not spectacular, but I liked the size of it.

[connorp]

This is a cool one for me. I have never seen a gastropod from Mazon Creek before (probably just haven't looked hard enough), and saw this nodule with two of them listed for only $12 and snapped it up real quick. Sold as Strobeus cf. primogenius.

Wow! That's wonderful. 

And bargain of the week too!
