Hello, I am looking for some info on these three crusher shark teeth that I have. They were unidentified and without provenance when I acquired them, but based on the other material in the collection they were from they might be from the Pennsylvanian of Texas. There are 3 specimens and they range from 4.5 cm to 7.5 cm long in size. This is #1 and the largest: This is #2: And #3 the smallest: I had actually asked about these last year in this post, where @connorp suggested they might be from a genus called Fadenia. I wanted to get some targeted identification on them if possible, or perhaps get into contact with a paleontologist that could give a professional opinion. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have a set of teeth from marine sediment of campanian age from the middle east. After many tries to identify, I couldnt pinpoint them exactly. Some of the rays feel like Rhombodus, but they are not a perfect match... I would Really appreciate any help! Please note there are 6 ray teeth total, just different sides. Also the drawing has (some of) the general types I could distinguish. Thank you! Dolev

Any help would be appreciated

On a recent trip to the Peace River, I came across these two finds. Pretty sure the brown tooth is Capybara. The black tooth, I am stumped. Any help is most appreciated.

Hello friends, This week I received the following specimens and I would like to know which creature they belonged to. A) Bovine (?) B)...... (?) C) Equine (?) I look forward to your responses, you are the best!

So I’m back down at Holden beach doing some fossil hunting. I came back yesterday with some cool little finds. So I have identified this tooth as an angel shark tooth. I just wanted to know if finding one was rare, and is it in good condition? (Found off the North Carolina coast.)

Hello everyone! I have recently been working on a project which includes precisely identifying shark teeth from the Campanian of the middle east. digging in the literature just made it clear that its REALLY messy. There is one promising resource however - Henri Capetta's guide to all mesozoic elasmobranch teeth. Does anybody here have the book or know someone who may have a copy? It would be a TREMENDOUS help! Book: Cappetta H. Chondrichtyes II. Mesozoic and Cenozoic Elasmobranchii: teeth Handbook of Paleoichthyology 3E, second edition,Schweizerbart, Stuttgart, 1–193, 2012. Here are some images of the finds, Welcome to share ideas on them too Dolev

Show a few fossils, that are from the same state. Can we show all 50 States?
Rock Hound posted a topic in Member Collections
I'll start it off, with South Carolina. Left to Right: Otodus Megalodon Isurus Hastalis Isurus Desori Hemipristis Serra As a bonus; the day after I started this thread, I received some new specimens, and could have shown a representation of North Carolina fossils too. So just as a bonus:_(1).thumb.jpg.d0f9d38117e3ed88e3b5598079acc695.jpg)

Hi guys, I was digging in my backyard and found a lot of bones (at approximately 40-50cm). I think it’s from a wild boar but I really want to know if that is correct. 100 years ago my backyard was a Forrest en most likely a place for hunting thanks! (i hope this topic is in the right place)

At least 415 individual shark teeth; although many are very small and / or broken. None are pristine; but they are fossils, and all were found in a few hours, by little ol' me. I hunted until I was worn out, from walking and bending over to pick them up. A few tiny pieces of ray plates, too.

Neutron scanning results of suspected sperm whale teeth in concretion (10+ teeth)
mamlambo posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
A while back I found a concretion containing some rather large teeth. The area was a mid-Miocene coastal deposit here on the South Island of New Zealand. These were my largest teeth yet so I was rather excited, tempered a bit by the fact that it was in a very, veeery hard concretion. I got in contact with Dr Joseph Bevitt at ANSTO where they had a nuclear reactor and are able to do neutron scanning. The instrument is called the Dingo: https://www.ansto.gov.au/our-facilities/australian-centre-for-neutron-scattering/neutron-scattering-instruments/dingo Neutron scanning is needed as it would be able to penetrate this rock where x-rays would have a harder time giving an image with enough contrast. From their website: After getting a temporary export permit from Heritage NZ, I sent the concretion over to ANSTO where it was scanned and then had to sit in a special vault for the radioactivity level to get back to a safe level. The result of the scan was a very cool video (link further below) as well as a stack of TIFF images which can be used to reconstruct a 3D model of the teeth inside the rock! Crazy!! One of the frames from the neutron scanning result: I tried to create the 3D model myself but didn't have the necessary skills, and this is where Andrew Cuff stepped in. He spent hours creating the 3D model which he sent to me. I then loaded the 3D model of the teeth into Blender and combined it with a 3D model (made with a RevoPoint 3D scanner) of the tooth concretion. The result is that you can see exactly where the teeth are INSIDE the concretion!! This is going to make prepping it so much easier. Also, check out Andrew's fossil hunting and prep videos: https://www.youtube.com/@dinoskool/videos Below is an image but have a look at the second video I linked below to see it in 3D, the 2D image doesn't do it justice Here is the video of my finding the concretion, getting it scanned and the resulting video clip: https://youtu.be/BllRDIIsPbw A video of the 3D model fitted into the concretion digitally showing the position of the teeth: https://youtu.be/SIfSAO39I3M

Found this in the Hell creek formation in eastern montana. It measures 2 7/8” long by 3/4” wide. It definitely is not crock. Leaning towards paraxenisaurus. “Strange lizard”. It would be rare in the Hell Creek.

Hello, I bought a Mosasaur Jaw fragment from Morocco at a local expo, at first sight I thought that maybe it's prognathodon sp. but I would like to know your opinion. The jaw has 3 teeth that I could check that belong 100% to the jaw and the other at least seemed to have the same morphology but it's not possible to know if the belogned to the jaw or not. Any way, knowing this I thought the price was fair so I bought it. I have marked with red the teeth that for sure belong to the jaw so it can help with the ID. If it helps with the ID, the teeth have 2 edges, one on each side. On the other hand, do you think that the other teeth has the same morphology and can belong to the same species or even to this specimen? I know that I will never be able to know 100% sure if that's the case. Here is a close up of the 2 big teeth that belong to the jaw:

Hi all, The subject of these photos may not be very interesting--I assume they are cow teeth (though do tell me if I'm wrong). But I am curious about the approximate age. I found these along the north shore of the Thames in London at low tide. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, H

Authentic Acheroraptor tooth?
JessaB posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I found this listed as a 0.31” Acheroraptor tooth from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. I messaged the seller asking about the locality/specific area it was found in and am waiting to hear back. Does it look like a genuine raptor tooth?
