I’ve been working on getting all of our shark teeth properly identified so I went back to a few teeth from the Demopolis Formation. These are from the Frankstown location in Mississippi. The first one up is right around 1” and the little cusps are what initially confused me. Is this a Cretoxyrhina perhaps? I found some images of Cretoxyrhina with cusps that looked similar.

We got a lot of 20 shark teeth from the Demopolis Formation, Frankstown location I believe. I basically separated them by those I think are Goblin teeth and those that I think are not lol Pic 1 I believe these are Scapanorhynchus teeth. Pic 2 and 3. My best guess on this one is Paranomotodon. I am very unsure of that ID.

Dr. Feldmann has just verified this specimen as Cretacoranin testacea. Quote "It is not a lobster, it is a raninid crab, Cretacoranin testacea. I am attaching a paper in which it is illustrated. It is really a very nice specimen." I will include the paper as soon as I can figure out how to upload it without exceeding my posting limit(?). I would like to thank all the TFF members who participated in making this identification possible. I hope the below photos will help anyone else who may have a specimen in need of identification.

This scapula fragment was found along a Mississippi creek. It was found in close proximity to a well mineralized deer jaw. The cup portion of the scapula measures about two inches. Does anyone know what animal this may of came from? I believe it's from the pleistocene epoch.

found in a hill area of central MS in a field, sorry I can not remember county or city... when searching with MS Gem & Mineral club, we are talking about about 5 hours from coast area. I do know it is an oyster but was wondering if anyone had any idea the possible time frame of age.

Hello everyone, I was wondering what the Maximum size for a late Cretaceous Cretalamna was? I have this tooth from Mississippi which clocks in at 1 29/32” (with root chipping), and can’t find much information as to the largest size that the genus reached in the Cretaceous.

Hello from Mississippi! I've never posted on here before but I need some experienced eyes to help out with this ID. I found this tooth fragment at the w.m. browning cretaceous fossil park near frankstown last time I went sifting down there. It's been bugging me that I dont know what it is. Def not like the shark teeth you find there so that leaves croc? or mosasaur? Or something else? Its hollow and looks like it would have had a slightly curved cone shape if whole. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

ID request for fossil found near Alton Illinois along the River Road (Hwy 100)
JamesMcD posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all, Last Saturday I took my 7-year-old boy on a fossil hunt along the River Road (Hwy 100), NW of Alton IL. He found the item in the attached images somewhere near here: Google Map Location The longest dimension of the smooth "bit of whatever" with the porous / speckled texture is about 9 cm. I've tried various keyword combinations with google images, and haven't been able to find anything similar. I imagine it's something common and I'm just not describing it correctly. Does anyone recognize what this is? Thank you very much for any help. My kid will be very excited to find out what this is. James
