Fossil

I’m asking because I have a piece of limestone with tiny parts inside it that don’t look like the rest of the limestone

It is extremely rare for soft-bodied invertebrates like snails, squids, octopuses, worms, starfish, jellyfish, etc to fossilise, though this hasn’t stopped us from finding fossils of them. I don’t think I know of any fossils of slugs though, so I’m curious if we have any yet. If there are, I doubt we have many of them for obvious reason.

Velociraptor mongoliensis

Philovenator curriei

Some random dromaeosaur

Dromaeosaurus albertensis

Dont remember which one this was supposed to be lmao

Alaskan troodontid

a silly sketch

And another silly sketch

Velociraptor mongoliensis

Most articles I'm seeing are about a month and a half old, but this was technically discovered in 2018, so here's hoping this isn't a duplicate post. Just thought it was cool af tbh.

An agate was mistakenly placed into the Natural History Museums' mineralogy collection but is now considered a 67 million-year-old titanosaur egg.

This little specimen was found in a volcanic plain and was smothered in lava after being laid. Evidence from the thin outer shell indicates that it was once pressed against other eggs (probably in a nest) and buried under volcanic rock before it was encased in lava. Burying their eggs was a nesting behavior consistent with Titanosaurs since they could use the geothermal heat to incubate their eggs, this is also common among modern turtles, crocodiles, and

Once the embryo had died, over the course of millions of years silica-rich water seeped into the egg, crystalizing into the pinkish agate pictured above.

It wasn't until Robin Hansen, a mineral curator at the Natural History Museum, visited a mineral show in 2018 that he realized the agate stored at the museum looked pretty similar to another agatized dinosaur egg that was on display.

Thoughts? I love learning about dinosaur nesting habits tbh, it's the coolest thing.

The set includes:

2" long Trilobite Fossil

Green River Fish Fossil (Knightia)

3" Ammonite Fossil (Douvilleiceras)

Fossil Spinosaurus Tooth

Mosasaur Tooth in Rock

Otodus Tooth in Rock

Polished Orthoceras Fossil

Gastropod Fossil Cluster in Rock

I've lived here for my entire life and had no idea this existed lol.

(Not my picture cuz all of the pics i took have my selfies)

I'm not completely sure where or when I got this. All I know for sure is that its a fossilized fish that's about 5 centimeters/2 inches in length.

Like I already said, I don't remember where or when I got it, but it's probably from Wyoming or Colorado. If I were to guess, I would say it's Knightia Eocena or Knightia Alta, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Fossil Pokémon CAN be found in the wild and because this is set in prehistoric times,they aren’t rock-something

Here are their new types

Aerodactyl is Dragon-Flying

Omastar is Pure Water

Kabutops is Steel-Water

Armaldo is Water-Bug

Cradily is Grass-Water

Bastiodon is Pure Steel

Rampardos is Steel-Dragon

Archeops is pure Flying

Caracostta is still Water-Rock

Aurorus is pure Ice

Tyrantrum is pure Dragon

And the galar fossils are now their own pokemon

Stegonic

(Stegosaurus+Draconic)

Dragon Type

Wattorap

(Watt+Raptor)

Electric Type

Dunkassault

(Dunkelosteus+Assault)

Water-Type

Behemosa

(Behemoth+Mosasaurus)

Ice Type

I know it ain't Possible but imagine if it was.

To be honest, I'd just build a hybrid of the two.

It Probably look like ^this^ but just the bones or something different than that.

I found a picture of a living allosaurus skeleton and this is real so don't tell anyone im kepping it a secret so bye

What fossil of a dinosaur do you wish you had?

Personally I wish I had a Heraresaur skull because of the evolution of their jaw.

Longosuchus

Length: 9 feet

I have no clue where it is from as i bought it at a local fossil and mineral store and it was in the unknown fossil shark tooth bin
