Found this in the Peace River. In the pictures it looks like a wet piece of wood. It’s definitely fossilized. I’m thinking petrified wood but the color doesn’t look like any prices I’ve seen before? Also, what type of sharks are the last two teeth. I think one of them might be a small meg. If it is, it’s my first meg!!!!

I posted this find in my trip report thread http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/95184-51319-oglesby-il-roadcut-pennsylvanian-shark-bits-brachiopods-and-more/ but I thought I would put it here too to get some more eyes on it. This piece is from the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Limestone member of the Bond Formation, collected on 5/13 and prepped some over the weekend. At first I thought it was the root of a shark tooth, but as I prepped and revealed the multiple "teeth" on top and the ratio of root to teeth it did not match up. That makes me think it is possibly a part of a jaw with teeth in it, but I have never found anything like that at this site before, nor have I seen any reported from this formation. Any ideas? The scale below is in CM.

Question about shark/fish teeth and casting Aquia formation MD
kate_rose posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, Here are some more of our findings from our 2 brief trips to Purse Park. I think the shark teeth are Odontaspis winkleri but am not sure. I have no idea on the small cream tooth other than its probably from a fish . . . (to me it looks surprisingly rodentlike though)?? And the hollow black bit which I initially took to be a casting from an invert burrow I figured can't be since it is hollow. Anybody have any ideas?? Thanks, Kate

Originally from the Midwest, I've been hunting for fossils for about 50 years and found about two "fossilized sea shells". And this was not from a lack of trying! I moved to Summerville, SC about three years ago for a job that included lots of travel. Now that travel is finished and meeting new friends in the area, I have connected with some kids that stumbled onto something that I think is big! Had I grown up in Summerville, I probably would have change my career to paleontology instead of Electrical Engineering. I am amazed at the finds here in my home town. I have taken my wife and kids including their friends to a spot that allows them to find Shark teeth (at a minimum) within 2 minutes of arriving to an area. My dilemma, I would like to know what these type of "dermal denticles" are. For every 20 shark teeth I find, I find one of these. Please refer to the attached pics. Thanks Matt

Well, "large" for what I have found around here anyway. Found in South Dallas, Texas. It was imbedded in a piece of Austin Chalk that rested right on top of the Eagle Ford Shale. I have found maybe 50ish shark teeth in the area but nothing even close to this size and preservation. I have never tried to identify any of the teeth, but this one intrigues me. Any ideas ?

If you love sharks and/or Legos, you’ll like this post. Today I want with my son and grandson to Brookfield zoo to see exhibit called “Brick Safari”. They have this temporary exhibit that consists of 40 full-size Lego animals. Here is my grandson standing next to a Mako shark. The last photo will tell how long it took to build this as well as how much it weighs and how many Legos were used to build it. They had animals there that were the size of baby penguins all the way up to a giraffe and an elephant. The whole exhibit was very impressive. And yes, my grandson’s face is painted up like a tiger. Lol

Hello, These are also from our hunt in the Aquia formation of Charles Co. MD. Sharks of the world didn't give me much insight. The only species that I noticed where the enamel extends out on to the roots like this is the extinct goblin shark Anomotodon novus. I definitely have some teeth from that species I think but these are substantially different. These are larger, more robust and the have the cool extended enamel and bumps/cusplets on the shoulders of the labial side. Any thoughts?? (ruler in mm and squares 1/4") Kate

Hello, I am new here and new to fossil identification. These are shark teeth from the Aquia formation on the Maryland side of the Potomac. They come from Charles County. I have shark teeth of the world and so my IDs are based on that and the internet. I think all of these are Stratiolamia striata based on the grooves. Ruler is in mm and squares are 1/4" on each side. The last picture with only 2 teeth nearly touching seem different to me in that the striations don't extend very far up onto the teeth (unlike the others where they cover much of the crown. I am not sure if S. macrota also occurs at this site?? They are supposed to have striation only near the root. I have more from this trip but limited time so it will have to dribble out. Thanks for your time, Kate

Hi everyone! I recently acquired some dolphin & shark teeth, but they weren't ID'd so I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me out if possible. The first are a set of small dolphin teeth found in Hoevenen, Antwerp in Belgium (Miocene, 15 - 10 mya) And I was wondering if they could be ID'd to down to genus? I've read Eurhinodelphis is a common find and that there are quite a few more named and unnamed species to be found there. The other fossils that I hoped to be ID'd are 5 tiny shark teeth from Oosterzele (Lede formation), Belgium (Eocenen, Lutetian, approx. 44 million years old) I've searched this website as they has a database with I believe all the species found there, but I am not confident and skilled enough to ID them properly. http://users.skynet.be/belgiansharkteeth/Lede formation/Oosterzele set.html My best guesses are that the first 3 teeth belong to the same species and the most common at Oosterzele, which are worn down Otodus auriculatus teeth. As for the other teeth I don't really know, so I really would appreciate some help and input. Thanks in advance!

Water was a little high but I found a few things at the North Sulphur River Texas.

We just got back from Florida and found a TON on teeth on Manasota Key beach. These are some of the interesting teeth we found that I can grab quickly. Any idea on what they are? I couldn't find a tape measure for scale but they are all roughly the size of a thumb nail. Thanks!!

Hi so Iv'e posted a picture of this tooth before but I thought it was a great white but now after seeing other teeth on instagram I'm not sure. Is it a Great White or Carcharocles Angustidens and depending on which one it is than what does that mean for my hunting spot and what it has to offer in the future gravel I dig up?

5/13/19 Oglesby, IL Roadcut- Pennsylvanian shark bits, brachiopods and more
deutscheben posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A week ago today, I took the day off work to hit one of my favorite sites, a roadcut above the Illinois River in Oglesby, Illinois. This cut exposes the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Limestone member of the Bond Formation and produces abundant brachiopods as well as occasional other fauna including gastropods, cephalopods, coral, trilobites, and shark teeth. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too warm, when I pulled up. The cut is a somewhat unstable slope of cobbles and boulders of varying size, almost all with at least some fossils in them. To get up to the slope, you have to hop across a small ditch with running water. I have a good sampling of the common brachiopods from here, so I am looking for unusual fossils when I go now. I was very happy to quickly find a piece of trilobite as I started to search the rocks at the base of the hill. (I will put pics of everything I brought home in a response post) One interesting find that I was not able to bring home was this Linoproductus brachiopod with some shell preserved and a really pretty dendritic pattern on it- it was very delicate and firmly embedded in the middle of an ~80 lb boulder. I was able to stay for 4 hours, and I felt like I gave most of the site at least a quick look. I am very happy with what I found- I was able to check off many of the rarer things I was looking for, including shark teeth, a trilobite, cephalopod material, and a brachiopod with spines attached, as well as some nice crystallized brachiopods. I will post all of my finds below.

Hi all, I recently went on a trip to Brownie's Beach in Maryland in search of Hemies, and I came home with some pretty good little teeth and a few decent sized ones. However, there was one tooth that I found I could not identify. I am not really sure what shark it belongs to, it sort of resembles a sand tiger but the root is very robust and thick. Im more or less lost as to what it could be. Wishful thinking, but I thought it might be a baby megatooth shark or a mako or something along the lines of that. Its a long shot, but I thouht i would ask to see if anyone else could Identify it, haha!

Picked up this beautiful pathological Cuban Meg Tooth a couple days ago. It measures 5.25” with a killer twist.

Looking to get an ID on this little guy...is it just an extremely worn sharks tooth stripped of its enamel? Whale tooth? Porpoise tooth? Found on the beaches of Wilmington, NC, in dredged material. It was definitely something at some point in time!

Hi there! This is my first post at Fossil Forum, hope this information could help in getting some help to identify this fossil. It was found at a quarry in Vallecillo, Mexico (northeast part, less than 100 kms from Laredo, Texas). The fossils found here belong to the the Vallecillo member from the Agua Nueva formation, aparently from late Cenomanian to early Turonian. The full length including the separate vertebrae is aproximately 29 inches or 74 centimeters. The longest tooth is aproximately 1.4 centimeters long. I was only able to post a single picture, hope it helps.

Found a few of these teeth on the beach (dredged material) in Wilmington, NC. They seem awfully small to be whale teeth. Anyone?

Looking to get an ID on this little guy. I’ve found one or two before this one. Some kind of back plate perhaps?
