Nice! Love the sponge.

Brachiopods! 

Now we're talking!

It all looks great!

You have a world class collection!

Ditto!

Also the Tentaculites... I have a similar piece from Ukraine but none from North America yet.

Really cool specimens! Congrats

Hi Andy .  Really cool specimens. Do you have a macro lens?  I got a very nice Tentaculites from Hungry Hollow Canada form @Monica . I started photographing it though a macro lens for a phone and got some really interesting pictures.  It was like looking at a different world .

Softshell Turtle with bite marks (Anosteira maomingensis)

Sea Scorpion (Eurypterus lacustris)

My favorite is this sea scorpion, I've never seen someone who owned one so large! Truly magnificent.

Thanks again for the kind comments guys. For now the branchiopod's ID is:

Devonochoenetes coronatus
388.1 - 383.7 mya | Middle Devonian
Moscow Formation, Windom Member

It's all thanks to everyone who helped me build it up.

Yeah I love it too. Was real lucky to get one.

Two goodies I've had for a while but never got around to posting. Big thank you to @StevenJD and @Mtskinner for them!

Nice new acquisitions! 

[TyBoy]

Very cool and the bite marks are awesome.  Why did you ascribe the bone to cf Kritosaurus and not Hadrosaurid indet something diagnostic about it?

[PaleoNoel]

Amazing collection, so many great specimens!

The digger attributed it to Kritosaurus. I have no idea how he did so. Hence, I added the cf.

I haven't done any Moroccan teeth for a long time. First, here's my rooted Carch tooth

 

 

Carcharodontosaur rooted tooth

Carcharodontosauridae indet.

99.7 - 94.3 mya | late Cretaceous

Kem Kem Beds

Southeast Morocco (If anyone can help me narrow down this locality, I would be very thankful)

 

 

NOTE:

Riker box is 8.25 inches tall

Spinosaur tooth is a franken tooth. He's my first ever dino tooth so I give him a pass.

Raptor tooth may be a theropoda indet.

Deltadromeus may be a theropoda indet.

Good display tooths in riker boxes and very nice rooted carch tooth happy to provide that one for you

Thank you. I appreciate it

[Troodon]

Nice adds snd display.   Rooted teeth from anywhere are cool but those from Morocco are very hard to find.   You can change the ID on that sauropod tooth in the riker to Rebbachisaurus.  A lot of the matetial coming out is from El Begga

Thanks. How did you narrow it down to Rebbachisaurus? I'd always thought sauropod teeth from the Kem Kem Beds were very hard to identify down to a genus level.

They were until the paper that came out last year differentiated between rebbachachisaurids and titanosaurids.  The difference is quite easy to see and yours is faceted.  Now you can ID them as Rebbachachisaurid indet or  Rebbachisaurus garasbae if you think there are no other Rebbach in the Kem Kem.

 

I've updated my topic

Lovely rooted Carch tooth!

This ichthyosaur seemed to be a lost cause as he'd gone through grinding "prep" which takes away important surface detail. Thankfully, @steelhead9 was up to the task of prepping him to expose whatever bone detail was still present. I'd say he did a great job.

Mixosaurus kuhnschnyderi
247.2 - 242 mya | middle Triassic

That sure is a great improvement!
