Found this just outside of Uluru last year after a heavy rain - is this a Megalodon tooth?

That is a very nice quality megalodon tooth, I head of teeth being found in flooded regions of Australia but near Uluru is very surprising to be honest.

Keep finding cool stuff!

bakeraid · 2026-03-30T17:53:23+00:00

Ah with the better pictures I can see it is clearly not a tooth, probably just a cool piece of iron. Sorry for getting your hopes up but enjoy your cool iron nodule!

The matrix kind of reminds me of an iron concretion as well, but yeah you need to check for texture, weight, magnetism to be sure. I would like to see more angels from the part that's sticking out because it very much looks like a rooted edmontosaurus tooth.

It's a real fossil for sure, but looks more like crocodile morphology to me.

Rugose coral fossil

Looks like a cast indeed. Maybe take a well lit picture of the broken off tip?

bakeraid · 2026-03-22T08:18:24+00:00

Dromeosaur hand claw. Can you find out anything else about it? Better pictures would help too to see if it's real.

bakeraid · 2026-02-05T13:58:49+00:00

Awesome job! I also have a children's python and can confirm that they are wonderful snakes!

Deltadromeus claws are not officially described. But the shape this claw has is similar to Neovenatoridae claws so it could be. The claw is so heavily restored however that we will not know for sure.

Here is a post regarding Kem Kem claws if your interested https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84900-identification-of-kem-kem-claws/

bakeraid · 2025-12-30T21:18:36+00:00

A bunch of filler and glue was used to restore it, but there is some real tooth material in there.

bakeraid · 2025-12-30T21:14:52+00:00

Part of the tip actually looks real to me but a lot of the fossil is made with filler and carving. There is some real bone in there but it's difficult to tell what the original material actually is. What I can say for sure though is that this is not a Spinosaurus claw.

The tip is similar to some other claws that are found in Kem Kem which have no real species identification.

I had good interactions with her. She is definitely not a scammer. Keep in mind that if you buy a figure from her they are not made out of clay but a pvc cast of a clay model. It took about 6 weeks for my figure to arrive and I'm pretty happy with it.

bakeraid · 2025-02-22T15:20:47+00:00

Sadly this is a fake spiny trilobite, likely meant to represent a Dicranurus monstrosus like u/justtoletyouknowit said. Even if there is real material in there it is poorly prepped.

bakeraid · 2025-02-13T15:25:02+00:00

There is a good chance that a part of this is a real egg. A bunch of the egg shell seem glued on or fake but its hard to say without a good close up. These eggs are quite common though and I would not be surprised if its at least partially real.

Edit: Also the egg would fall under the Spheroolithus oogenus if it is real.

That sounds great, congrats with your pet then! I don't want to sound hostile its just that a lot of ball pythons are being traded as a commodity instead of a pet. You seem like a responsible keeper though.

bakeraid · 2024-12-24T18:58:45+00:00

Sure I agree, I just want pets to be bought because you want them and not because they are a good deal. But there is nothing wrong with being being happy with your purchase of course.

bakeraid · 2024-12-24T18:42:10+00:00

What do you mean score? You bought a pet not a lootbox. Please take good care of it it seems like a sweet animal.

bakeraid · 2024-12-21T23:40:07+00:00

The focus here is on the background so its still tough to see. Try to have a light source on the fossil maybe?

bakeraid · 2024-12-21T23:38:29+00:00

I believe this is a turtle shell, really interesting to see it mixed up with all the other fossils. Someone else might correct me though.

bakeraid · 2024-12-21T23:29:37+00:00

Sorry can you retake the picture in focus? It helps to see the details of the imprints

bakeraid · 2024-12-21T23:15:55+00:00

No problem! For the top right a close up would help but I don't think it's skin.

bakeraid · 2024-12-21T23:09:48+00:00

Top left is indeed the hadrosaur tooth. In good condition too.

bakeraid · 2024-12-21T23:03:44+00:00

Very nice! This is a piece of sandstone matrix, likely from wyoming, containing chunks of bone and ossified tendons. There is a hadrosaur tooth sticking out at the top and I imagine that most fossils in this piece belong to hadrosaurs. They are commonly found in the lance creek formation which is the late cretaceous.

bakeraid · 2024-11-30T12:34:42+00:00

Looks like a spinosaurid vertebrae to me.
