Found this in glacial deposits in E Kansas. I understand that it is not a complete tooth, so I’m not expecting a miracle I’ve never found a tooth with whorls like this one, so I’m a little lost. As always, I appreciate the help!

I found this fossilised tooth in a junk shop. No idea of the source, but it seems to be a molar. That’s all I know. I’d appreciate some ideas please. thank you.

From the album: Neutache Shoreline
My first mandible with teeth. Complete incisor with nice colors. I labeled it as Ondatra sp. since differences between zibethicus and cinnamonius teeth/mandibles are basically nonexistent. Molar pattern on Muskrat molars are very similar to Meadow Vole molars. However, Muskrats are much larger than meadow voles, so Meadow Vole teeth/mandibles will be much smaller than muskrat. Here is a close up picture of the molar on this specimen: 4/5/24 #VL4© CC BY-NC

Another hunt recently with more E KS ‘glacial’ material. Posting this on behalf of my hunting partner. My novice guess is equus, but I’m not sure. If it is equus, got any species ideas? Thank you so much, I really appreciate the help!

Tooth Identified: Rare mega-marmot, Paenemarmota molar discovered
Jaybot posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Last month I posted an Id request for 3 molars, and two were identified as Peccary. Just to be clear, I personally did not find them, as I was requesting an id on behalf of others. The third tooth was left unidentified, and I was recommended by Shellseeker to contact a museum for help. If you would like to read the original post, and view photos, here it is: I eventually contacted the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and David Krause of their Paleontology department sent me this: ''Hi 'Jaybot' –– No worries. Thanks for getting back to me and for confirmation about the scale bar. The fact that your scale bar was in centimeters helps to confirm Kristen's (cc'd here) tentative identification that your tooth is that of a Plio-Pleistocene mega-marmot, the genus name of which is Paenemarmota. The largest species is Paenamarmota barbouri (close to modern beaver size) and your specimen seems to be in that approximate size range, although precise measurement is warranted. After Kristen's tentative ID, I reached out to one of our Research Associates here, Greg McDonald, who is another expert on Plio-Pleistocene mammals, who, in fact, has recently published on Paenemarmota (see attached file). He tentatively confirmed Kristen's identification and further identified it as a right lower third molar.'' Here is the paper he attached in the email: McDonald et al. - Paenemarmota from NM - 2022.pdf This is very interesting to me, and I figure that y'all might enjoy this as well. I would never have guessed mega-marmot I'll tag everyone in the original post so they can find this: @jpc@Danielb@Balance@Shellseeker@dries85@CDiggs@Harry Pristis Have a great day!- 4 replies

From the album: Fossils
One of my favorite Lee Creek finds, a nice seal jaw with 5 teeth. This must have been a fairly young individual because there is almost no wear on the teeth. -
Here are a few molars that I’m stumped on. They were all found In NE corner of Kansas in some Permian (edit: not Permian) glacial drift material. Molar #1: Going through @Harry Pristis’s album, to me this one resembles Tapir, but I am doubtful Molar #2 I have no ideas on this one, initially guessed peccary but I think that is incorrect Molar #3 This one has some of the root, although some of the top surface has been broken Thank you to everyone in advance! I try to ID our fossils myself, but these I can’t seem to figure these out. Have a great day everyone

I found this on the beach in Georgetown,South Carolina, USA. The beach is in the Waccamaw Geological formation & same area l found other Pleistocene megafauna ( mammoth & horse ). This tooth has smooth waved enamel sides, rough jagged crown & root with 4 holes. Any help with identifying it is welcome & appreciated.

I found this grapefruit sized (possibly tooth) getting washed up in the surf in Georgetown, South Carolina, USA. I have found what I believe to be Pleistocene Horse & Bison teeth on the same beach. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

We found this nice tooth on the Kaw River (Kansas) this past summer. Permian glacial material has been found there. When we found it, we assumed that it was from a camel. I’m not so sure anymore, as it has a stylid, and resembles a white tailed deer tooth we found, only much larger. Any ideas?

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.

I found this tooth in my family’s storage in North Carolina years ago and have always been curious about it. I was hoping someone here could help me identify what animal it belonged to and how old it might be, or at least point me in the right direction to answering these questions. I really know nothing about it, I don’t even know if it qualifies as a fossil or if it’s just a very well worn tooth. Thank you in advance for your help!

Found these on different sand banks along the Kansas (Kaw) River east of Lawrence. They are definitely fossils, and I believe they are some sort of tooth or molar, but I am no expert. Any ideas or positive ids appreciated! ps: this is my first post measured in metric in photos

We found a large molar in our flower bed after our landscaper dropped off some river rock. It looks very similar to a Bison molar from our @Harry Pristis sampler. The color makes me think it is recent but it feels almost as heavy as Harrys remineralized tooth.

I have this upper molar from an entelodont. It was sold to me as archaeotherium but I'm not certain if it's that or daeodon. Any chance someone has a second opinion? Found in South Dakota

Downloaded from Facebook. This tooth was found alone the banks of the Mississippi river. Is it just a very worn cow m3? I don't know if any other ungulate would have a stylid? It just seems oddly shaped for cow/bison to me.
