I got these teeth a few weeks ago from my sister and I don't know what they are. I think they are mammalian teeth but I'm not too sure. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello, This is my first post I found this forum while looking for help id'ing a large chunk of an unknown crystal like substance I found kayaking. Backstory... (Photos at bottom of post) Today I was kayaking in coastal waters in northeast Florida. This is saltwater, marshy, lots of pine, Cyprus, cedar trees on higher ground. While paddling near the bank I noticed a strangely shaped rock and decided to check it out. About 3/4 the size of a basketball with 2 holes similar to those in a bowling ball. Used a pair of needlenose pliers to inspect before I put my fingers in (plenty of things that could be living in there that I didn't want to interact with). As soon as the pliers made contact I could tell it was not rock, more of a glass feel. With some prying (attempting to free from muddy bottom) a piece broke off and immediately I was certain it was not rock, but the piece did not sink like glass. Also it smells like pine sap if that helps.

I am working on a personal project that Google has chosen to not help me with, so I figured that someone here on the forum could help me. I am trying to find out what animals died at the beginning of the ice age because of the ice age, Google just tells me animals that died at the end of the ice age (mammoths, mastodons, sloths, etc.). I'll need any help I can get. Thanks!

I'm trying to find new fossil hunting sites. I know that hogtown creek in Gainesville has some areas where you can find small megs and horse teeth, but I am not sure what parts of the creek they are in. The only area in hogtown I have been too has only centimeter or less long teeth, though there are hundreds. Does anybody mind sharing any sites in hogtown or just in Gainesville in general. Feel free to PM me or tell me what forum I should have put this in (I know it's probably not this one) thanks!

Hi everyone, Collected this one quite a few years ago and have always been curious about its odd material and color. It's quite smooth and does not look like any of the other fossils I found there. So i'm curious if anybody knows what this material is and perhaps how it is formed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Found in a freshwater spring in Florida. I was skeptical at first but after looking at it for a while I’m curious.

Hello! I have a question. Recently I have started to purchase fossils from closed locations and countries that are now closed for fossil collecting. Can anyone tell me any good closed sites that I can purchase fossils from? I barely know any. I only know about these closed sites / countries. Chile Brazil Lee Creek Mine Bone Valley? I'm not sure if it is closed. Hopefully someone can tell me some good closed sites. Age and country / area does not matter Thanks Cheers - Adriano

Hi all, I was in Italy on the Amalfi coast this past week, and stumbled across what I think may be a fossilized tooth. It looked cool so that’s why I picked it up. I could be wrong and it may be nothing. I’m hoping someone here can help me.

Found in Dahlonega, Georgia. Original origin (if different) unknown. Before I realized it was a fossil, I had aggressively scrubbed the stone with a denture brush in hopes of cleaning off the deep dirt stains. It worked, but I'm not sure if it damaged it at all. It doesn't look noticeably damaged, if it is, but I figured I'd bring it up. This rock is *most likely?* limestone & quartz but I'm not terribly confident in that answer. Any help GREATLY appreciated!! The fossil appears to be a mix of star shaped and column shaped indents, with what appear to be shells as well. There may be more (as there are a lot of similar indents that look more like closely packed dots) but I'm not sure. P.S.: If anyone has tips to safely remove the iron stains, let me know! I'd rather preserve the fossil than remove the iron, but I figured I might ask.

Big spinosaurus tooth with Pathology and serrations?
JorisVV posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Here by my new Spinosaurus Aegypticus tooth from Taouz, Morocco. It is 4 1/2 inches. The colors are less common than your regular Moroccon Spinosaurus teeth. It has 0 restoration done to the tooth, and the quality is very high. Which I find special about this one. Noticed some slight patho and serrations on this tooth too? Could someone explain the patho perhaps.- 3 replies
