Found this tooth in the peace river on my last trip, wasn’t completely sure what it was. Im thinking it could be whale or predator. I know its in pretty bad shape but would be thankful if anyone knows what it is. thanks

One of the few things I collect are capybara fossils. One of the other things are mammal verts and large shark verts. But of all the capybara teeth I have I have never seen a vertebra from one of them. Does anyone have any that I can see?

Dug this out of the sand in the Peace River, FL. After a few hours of searching images of various teeth, I can't find anything that resembles it closer than a human molar. Hopefully it isn't just that! Any help on the ID would be appreciated.

Hello, I have this piece from the Pleistocene-aged La Brea Tar Pits of LA county, California, USA. Alongside the beetle, it has several bones embedded in it which were just described as "mammal". It's possible that more than one species is represented. Can I get a more precise identification for them? Or would I need further prep for that? I know next to nothing of vertebrates but my understanding is that for long bones, the bone ends are most important for identification. Thank you.

Hello TFF, I found this tooth in the Peace River near Wauchula several weeks ago and I just can’t nail down an ID. My thoughts are raccoon or opossum. Thanks for any help!

Hi! Sorry if this is out of sudden but recently i came across a landslide and i found this fossil fragments, i have been struggling to identify which animal could they belong, the place is between 2 formations (early pleistocene-late miocene) and while is not in north america, we do share some extinct fauna (Pleistocene-miocene mammals), i hope i can get some hints (some have told me they resemble a rib fragment but i am not sure).

Fossil vertebra -
Got back last night from a paddle on the Peace River and these are some of the unknowns I was hoping to get some help with. I am still totally new at this and my best guess for number 1 was maybe part of a manatee tooth?roughly 1/2 inch in length and height 2. some sort of mammal tooth possibly with missing inner enamel ? 3. some sort of vertebrate; its the smallest one I have ever found , curious about what species it might be from. Also it's so cute ! ( have yet to see anyone else on the forum think fossils are cute , but this thing is adorable )

hippopotamus gorgops tooth Found in Indonesia? I heard that it was found in the Solo River in Java, Indonesia. Is it true that it is a Gorgops hippopotamus? Did the Gorgops hippopotamus live in Indonesia? Are fossils found in Indonesia?

I found this in the dunes near the beach in an uninhabited point off the coast of South Carolina in Charleston harbor. The US army corp of engineers periodically dredge the harbor to make it deeper and dumped the tailing at the tips of islands which is where this was found. The area is where people go to hunt for meg teeth, and you can also find many pieces of fossilized ice age animal bones. Occasionally, bits of stone tools are found there too. Anyway, I’m wondering what animal this might be. More importantly, it looks like humans may have processed it, but I’m not positive. 1. The hole through the middle of the bone is cleanly drilled, straight, and symmetrical all the way through. 2. The bottom is perfectly flat as if it’s been cut and ground down against something. The rest of the bone is not weathered in the same way. The outer edges of bone on the bottom are polished all the way around. 3. The mud/dirt on the flat bottom filling the pores in the bone is also perfectly flat and fossilized in place. For mud to fill the pores, the bone would have needed to be cut flat prior to fossilization. 4. There is evidence of wear around the hole that’s hard to see in the pictures (along the top of the bone, along the inner edges of the hole on both sides). The wear spots match where a string would go if this were tied to something. Does anyone have an idea what animal this is? Could a natural process could have created both the hole and flat bottom? Could this be evidence of paleo indians processing the bone?

Hello everyone Below are pics of two pretty well preserved toe bones found on dredge spoil islands near Savannah, GA. These islands dredge up modern to Miocene era fossils. My guess is these are from two different medium sized Ice age land mammals. For the sake of description, the one on the left can be called the larger brown toe bone and the one on the right the smaller black toe bone. Thanks for looking. Hopefully there is something diagnostic in appearances to help with ID.

I found these four vertebra in Gainesville creeks and I am wondering what is the best way to go about identifying them? Any tips? I assume they are generally whale/dugong/porpoise

I found this short, curved, piece of enamel that looks similar to an un-erupted tooth or tusk. The biting surface is rounded, so I can't get a good feel for what it might be.
