Sarcosuchus is one of the biggest crocodiles ever to live, reaching an upper bound of 31 feet (9.5 meters) long and roughly 4.3 metric tons (4.7 short tons). It lived during the Early Cretaceous, 133 to 112 million years ago in what is now South America and Africa. youtu.be/qBHHeIVvuPw
The seller is calling this a Triceratops tooth from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of New Mexico. The identification is completely wrong. Triceratops comes from the Late Cretaceous of the Hell Creek/Lance Formations of the Western US and Canada. By the way, this is a rock.

Found in southwest Manitoba. Possibly in the Pierre Shale Formation (upper Cretaceous). Can anyone identify?

Found near a mudstone/siltstone/shale formation that has been exposed by water. The rocks that fell away look like they contain other small plant fossils in them (similar to the bottom-left rock in this photo), along with a small piece of what looks like petrified wood. I'm not an expert, so it's possible that it's actually all glaciofluvial deposits as the surface geology would suggest.
This rock/fossil has an iridescent coating on the one side, with small ripples crossing it, and two larger but more subtle ripples/indents at a slightly different angle. Could it be a clam of some sort?

WIP Drawing, can anyone guess the dinosaur from this singular picture? Hint: The dinosaur ‘lived in what now is North Africa during the upper Albian to upper Turonian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 112 to 93.5 million years ago.’ Y’all better not look it up 👀

Any ideas what these fossils are? Found northwest of Trinidad Co. near the base of the Spanish peaks. I believe they are from the Raton Formation and not the Trinadad sandstone, but im not 100% sure of that. If the formation is correct is should be fron the Paleocene or upper Cretaceous.
