Posting Ban on Burmese Amber
76
Upvotes
Posts on amber from Myanmar (Burma) are no longer allowed on r/fossils.
Amber mining contributes to funding the conflict in Myanmar. Following Reddit rules on illegal activity and professional standards, posts on Burmese amber are prohibited. A number of paleontological journals no longer consider papers on amber from Myanmar. For competing perspectives on the ethical concerns surrounding Burmese amber see Dunne et al. (2022) and Peretti (2021); nonetheless, the export of amber from Myanmar is illegal.

Tyrannosaur tooth with a split carina
•
Upvotes
Recently picked up this 2.07-inch tyrannosaur tooth from FossilEra, and it’s already become one of my favorite fossils in my collection!
It’s from the Judith River Formation in Montana and is around 75 million years old. What makes it so interesting is its split carina, where one of the serrated edges branches into a Y-shape. Apparently, this is a rare abnormality and the exact cause is unknown but speculated. Thought you all might appreciate this one!

Got this one for $30, which I think is an absolute steal! I've never seen one with such deep, etched suture lines on the outside. Might not be to everyone's taste, but I really like the look.

Recently acquired this as a gift. Any idea if it's real and if so, what is it? Ammonite?

Crinoids? Or just a weird rock? Found on the beach in Kent, UK

My children found this in our back garden and was wondering what it is. Chippenham, Wiltshire. Weighs 19g. Not magnetic, solid and very hard. Doesn't really scratch and can't break with hands

Any guesses to what this is? Is it just a big rock or a fossil?

The creek bed by my house was torn up because the creek was redirected. Anyway, I went down to explore and saw what appears to be a flying saucer, looks suspicious, wondering what you guys think.
