Hey, i got some mammal teeth ID vibe going thx to @citronkitten's post. I'm kinda in the dark about these two teeth. As they wash up on the Schelde river shores in Antwerp i'm not sure on their age tho. Both look like front teeth to me. 1. 2,9cm x 1,3cm x 0,8cm 2. 2,6cm x 0,8cm x 0,6cm Thx in advance!

Next grouping is mammal teeth! Hoping to get confirmation on these few; my others are quite similar, so once labels are confirmed I can positively identify the rest, as well. I will divide this into multiple posts - 1 per tooth - to hopefully make it easier to read. 1. camelid? Palaeolama mirifica

Can anyone identify what these might be? The 1st one is 1 of hundreds found identical to it but of different sizes. There seems to be serrated teeth like a very fine saw blade on the edges of the spike shaped rock.. They are all exactly the same. And the other 1 looks like the head of like a turtle or something. You can actually see a tongue inside the mouth. It looks like it suffered an injury & its head was smashed in . Looks to have skin on the outside & a bone inside the neck. Also teeth inside the mouth. Its for sure some kind of creature. Just don't know what. Thanks in advance.

Looking for some experts on these attached images. These are just ones I can’t figure out. Scale in metric. I had a successful hunt at the end of 2023. Soon I’ll be adding a photo album of this and some of my other finds from various locations. Overall, I found Ageleodus pectinatus teeth, Hyneria lindae teeth and scales, Megalichthys mullisoni scales, Langlieria radiatus scales, Holoptychius sp. scale, acanthodian fish spine, Phyllolepis rossimontina armor, Turrisaspis elektor armor, and plant leaves and stems. EDIT: Location - Clinton County, PA.

Today I went to a pretty famous and professional fossil shop in the UK, which had a quite big collection of various fossils. To my supprise, they also had a number of dinosaur teeth, including species such as Carcharodontosaurus, some Tyrannosaurids such as Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus, as well as several teeth of Suchomimus and Spinosaurus. Especially the teeth of the latter were actually not as expansive. [prices removed as per forum rules - staff] Now, I have to admit that I am a bit sceptic. When I look on the wikipedia page of Spinosaurus, I read that only a handfull (namely 6) partially complete individuals have ever been found. Furthermore, they list a number of other known specismens, which "consist mainly of very fragmentary remains and scattered teeth". However, when I google, I see that spinosaurus teeth are not only available in this little shop I went today, but apparently can also be bought online, in hundreds of different places (amazon, ebay, etc). They are literally everywhere and very abundant. So how is this possible? Some possibilities: 1) Teeths are indeed very common and wikipedia just refers to fossils in which also parts of the bones have been found. 2) All these teeths one can buy are actually just "prints" (like gibbs prints or whatever) and it is simply assumed to be so clear that it is not mentioned in the shops/online markets. 3) Most of them are fake (although I don't believe this, since the shop in which I found some of them was quite well-known and professional).

Need help identifying this jawbone I found in the banks of St. John’s River, FL near mill cove
FossilFisherman posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi this is my first ever post so apologies for the atrocity that is my attempt at using tags lol, I found this guy on the banks of the St. John’s River FL by mill cove, i know its a jawbone, but to what i have no idea, could be mammal or marine, because there are lots of Osprey Bald Eagles and other birds of prey in the area. Any help is much appreciated! I also think it’s some sort of predator due to the shape of the teeth.- 8 replies

Found these teeth from Batesford Quarry which is late Oligocene to middle Miocene. I am confident that they are C. Hastalis but would appreciate a second opinion.

If you know anything about modern white sharks, how big are teeth of this size? The size is 58mm. How big was this great white shark? Are great white shark teeth of this size large?

Primate fossils are very rare. I would really like to see what primate fossils TFF members have in their collections or have collected and donated. Mine have been personally collected, and have been donated, and are posted below. Let me start this post with the nicest primate fossil that I’ve seen, to show what is possible to find. A Messel researcher from Germany, to whom I’ve sent thousands of squamate specimens for study, sent me the below Messel book gratis last year. This is a book full of incredibly preserved specimens from plants, to insects, to mammals, to birds, to reptiles, to amphibians, to fish. Some very well-preserved primate fossils are in this Messel book, including an incredible Darwinius masillae articulated specimen shown in the below picture. After showing that incredible Messel primate, my primate specimens, which follow, seem pretty meager, but nevertheless are of scientific value. First, three primate teeth that I found in anthill matrix, from anthills situated on exposures of the Big Cottonwood Creek Member of the Chadron Formation (Latest Eocene-early Oligocene), from my sons’ M&M Ranch in Nebraska are shown in the below picture within a figure, as well as the cover of the publication that they are described in. Because the researchers were not able to assign the teeth to a genus (see the text in the red box in the below picture) I intend to recollect anthill matrix in the same 3 areas where the teeth were found in hope of finding a more complete primate specimen (at least a partial jaw with a premolar, molars) so the species can be identified. Secondly, a partial omomyid primate jaw, which I found in the Eocene, Nanjemoy Formation of Virginia, shown below in a figure from the paper that the partial jaw is described in (see first page of the paper below). Also note the two excerpts below from the paper. Due to the extreme rarity of this specimen, it is extremely unlikely that I could find another specimen that might be positively identified. From the paper Title and Abstract: "First Fossil Primate from the Atlantic Coastal Plain" From the paper DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: "Considering its geographic separation from other known North American, as well as European, omomyids, it almost certainly represents a previously unknown species. However, in the absence of premolars (often the most diagnostic teeth in omomyids) or any other anterior teeth, or obvious derived molar traits, it would be premature to create a new taxon for this fragmentary specimen." I am really hoping for and looking forward to TFF member primate posts to this thread. Marco Sr.

I haven’t been tooth hunting in a long time, so I’m scanning through sand from Matoaka beach, Maryland. I’m hoping to get out this year. I always love finding skate or Ray teeth.

I recently found this partial tooth in Florida and I really think it’s dire wolf. It looks exactly like the upper carnassial dire wolf teeth online. The only measurement i have is that the thickest part of the enamel from top to bottom is 17mm thick, not accounting for wear. Can you guys confirm/deny? Thanks! filtered-3F76D20A-199B-4B93-8957-ACB17287FC39.mp4

Distinguishing Borealosuchus and Brachychampsa teeth
Othniel C. Marsh posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Is there actually any means of distinguishing Brachychampsa and Borealosuchus teeth, particularly those from the Hell Creek Formation? Insofar as I can see Brachychampsa teeth tend to more globular than those of Borealosuchus, but I have noticed that some Brachychampsa teeth, particularly those closer to the back of the jaw, can be quite elongate, so is there an identifying feature besides shape?- 2 replies
