Fossil Collections, Anyone?

Come and discuss the subject of science - specifically biology, geology, and related subjects in those fields! The whole forum is dedicated to the actual research that the field of paleontology uncovers about our natural world all the way from the beginning, to now, and hopefully someday even beyond.

Fossil Collections, Anyone?

Post by Dinos4Ever »

Anybody here have a collection of fossils? I have a couple of little pieces that I've picked up from the ground:

But my pride and joy is the Trilobite imprint I carted home one day as a kid:

I’ve got:

3 Ammonites, 2 Trilobites, copious amounts of shark teeth, a slice of mammoth tooth, a Plesiosaur tooth, two Spinosaurus teeth, a Carcharodontosaurus tooth, a Dromaeosaurid tooth, a Sauropod tooth, two pieces of amber, a Pterosaur wing bone (forgot the name, I have it somewhere. Found in Morocco), a Tricerotops tooth fragment, two hadrosaur bones - one Edmontossurus and the other Hypacrosaurus -, a Sauropod bone, a gastrolith, a (believed to be) Rex one fragment but identification of species is tough, two egg fragments and coprolite.

Not a fossil but also one alligator tooth (in the corked vial).
