As it looks like I won't be able to make it back out to Charleston for quite a while, I was wondering what the fossil hunting scene looks like here in Texas. I've heard that there's some miocene material to be had around Galveston and Bolivar, and I've heard about the Eagle Ford Formation and Post Oak Creek, but I haven't come across a whole lot of information. I do know there are some invertebrate fossils along the Brazos, but I'm not super big on snails. I'm in the Houston area, so a day trip down to the coast is definitely feasible, but I need to do some more research before I commit to mak

Finally got a good picture of another find from our Mineral Wells Fossil Park outing. Looked at other pictures of Petalodus shark teeth, and it has similar features. It looks like a tooth to me....but I don't know.

I purchased a large (3.35"), partially exposed Moroccan Otodus obliquus tooth in matrix a few months ago with the intent of prepping it out and, hopefully, revealing a complete tooth. Having never prepped a fossil before, I consulted some TFF threads for suggestions on tools, before ultimately settling on a pocket scriber. I neglected to take a photo of the original fossil before I did any prep, but here's one from the seller: When the tooth arrived, I scraped a small amount of the matrix away, but I didn't get all that far before setting the tooth aside on

The tooth below is listed for sale as Cretodus crassidens from the Carlisle Shale in Montana. While there might be some very slight wrinkles on the labial side of this tooth, this doesn't look like the typical lingual or labial enamel folds that I would expect from Cretodus, so I'm wondering if it might be from Cretalamna or something else instead. @siteseer, @ThePhysicist, @Anomotodon, any thoughts on this one? The slant length of the tooth is 22 mm. Photos are from the seller, slightly cleaned up by me.

Hi. I am over the moon with this find. I usually find only find 10-20 teeth on the beach each summer. I have only found 3 teeth all summer on the beach. Mainly because I am spending more time with the kids than searching. But tonight was low tide…. Three steps into looking….. so excited it’s 1 inch and perfect!!!!!

I found this on the beach at the surf side northern tip of Hatters Island, North Carolina (Outer Banks). Anyone have an idea what this might be? My first guess was shark tooth but not quite sure now I've seen more samples. Also, any idea what the small dots are that kind of form a triangle? Thanks, I'm just starting to get into this hobby.

Hubbell (juvenile) megalodon, likely from the East Coast. I don't understand the hype surrounding megalodon, but this one was cool enough for the collection. It has good preservation, and the tip is spalled-off from feeding. -
Big Brook , NJ - Shark Fragment tooth. Serrated on both side of triangle. No defined curvature. Pulled many teeth from the brook for some reason having issue identifying this one.

Moroccan theropod dinosaur tooth and other fossil ID help
Lando_Calrissian_4tw posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all! Soooo I just recently made a trip to my local mall, and the upscale mineral/fossil shop there had a bowl of assorted cheap Moroccan fossils for sale. As far as I could tell they were of Cretaceous marine origin, most of them being goblin shark and Cretolamna teeth. However there were a few interesting finds, including a small theropod dinosaur tooth!!! You bet I paid my $0.50 for that sucker =p Also, I found some sort of jaw bone, an unknown shark tooth (pathological?), and a possible fish skull cap maybe? I’m going to post them to the Fossil ID page for some help, I don’t know my Moro -
While my prime focus is essentially learning how to accurately describe Nature in the precise language of mathematics, I've always been intrigued by natural history - it's actually what started me on the path to physics. The sort of interrogation that paleontology practices provoked me to think and question even further, down to the fundamental science which makes it all work. Collecting fossils has brought a large amount of enjoyment to my life, and is often a welcome distraction from what can sometimes be straining work. The knowledge that I accumulate along the way is also part

A quick half-day trip to a few new sights yielded some exciting finds for me. I'm not well versed in Eagle Ford fauna but here goes! There were many of the boulders comprised almost entirely of oysters and bivalves: I was mainly looking for teeth and had no idea I'd find an ammonite so I was surprised with this find. On of the reasons why I love fossil hunting so much is that you never know what you might find out there! This heron flew in literally 6 ft behind me as I was inspecting the creek bank. I heard a whoosh and turned

Hi. All these are out of the ordinary finds for me and I need some help with IDing. I think I know, which means I am wrong and need help. Thanks as always for any feedback. 1. 100% retile tooth. It stinks that it is all beat up but I will take it! I am thinking croc but maybe plesiosaur 2. I believe this is a reptile toe bone? Anyone know what type? it a little over a half an inch

Moroccan Parotodus parasymphyseal and Cretolamna biauriculata?
ThePhysicist posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi y'all, I picked these shark teeth up from a local rock shop. The first is definitely a symphyseal/parasymphyseal tooth but I'm not sure if it's from an Eocene Parotodus or Otodus. I lean towards Parotodus because of the narrow crown and its significant curvature. The second I think is a Cretolamna biauriculata. The symphyseal is about an inch ~ 2 cm in length. @siteseer@Al Dente@MarcoSr@Untitled Parotodus sp.?: Cretolamna biauriculata?: -
I got a few NSR shark teeth and this one has me stumped. It’s small at 6mm and not complete but I think an ID is possible given it’s unique features. It has distinct folds and the cusp has an odd bend. I was wondering if it could be a Cretodus tooth of some odd position. That’s my best guess at the moment. I don’t think it’s Goblin or Sand Tiger. Ozan Formation NSR Texas.

Found these in a creek in Maryland. I’m most interested in identifying items 1-4 but let me know if you have any ideas for the rest too. I think 8 might be the edge of a turtle shell because it’s wedge shaped. Item 7 looks like a rib to me.

I recently was given this shark tooth and I have tried to ID it myself, but I have had no luck. Thanks in advance! Ps. I can't remove the first pic for some reason, and I have no idea why it glitched.

Another Eagle Ford Group Texas find. The texture and color differs compared to every other tooth found, but it has a shark tooth shape. Thanks in advance.
