    Florida Miocene Horses

    I went out on Saturday, hunting the Peace River. Did not find very much. It was one of those days when my hunting partner, digging 5 feet from me was finding excellent fossils and me , not so much. I was also feeling out of sorts most of the day, and that turned into a stomach virus that I am now mostly over. Add about 150 somewhat bruised small shark teeth, and the hunt was not up to par. There are always gifts from the river... I hardly ever find connected ray teeth in the Peace, This is about 50% of an noncommon find. The big lift for the day is that my friend worked in the Phosphate mines in the 1980s and still connects with old friends who did the same. One has some interesting items and traded some small horse fossils including 20 plus teeth that I got before I started hunting Saturday. I am truly blessed. A few toe fossils A Medial phalanx L 25 x 22 mm Another Medial, L 20 x 16 Both are too large to be a good fit for this L 29 x 15 mm Proximal phalanx.. Big thrill ,, these are my 1st Horse Phalanx at this size... and the quality is crisp because they were never eroded by water... Naturally 3 lower right molars, possibly /likely Nannippus This one has no protostylid , thus N. aztecus APL 14 x width 8 x crown height 27 mm This one has a protostylid and very small APL 15 x width 10 x crown height 25 mm, possibly N. westoni and then this one APL 18 x Width 10 x Crown Height 34 mm. I can not tell if it has a protostylid or not...and will leave to experts to ID tooth positions... I have another 17 teeth needing photos..
  2. I always hear that they are very rare; but every year dealers set up at numerous fossil shows in the United States, with huge boxes full of giant Meg Teeth. Regardless, they sure aren't cheap!!!

    Mosasaur Teeth ID

    I got these 3 new mosasuar teeth and can somebody identify them? Thank you very much!Sorry for the bad images.
  4. I got out for a little while this afternoon, and gave it the ol' college try.

    Two Different teeth for ID

    I have 2 different teeth, that I would like input on. The first one was listed as a Daspletosaurus, and was found in the Two Medicine Formation. The second tooth comes from Point Bar Deposit River bed.
  6. Hi again, everyone. Being the unashamed newbie that I am, I have some beach finds from around Venice, Florida that may be PORs (Plain Ol’ Rocks) or fossilized thingies. ‘Look familiar to anyone?

    Teeth? New to teeth IDs. Austin, TX

    I am very new to fossil hunting... this started all of a sudden after I basically tripped on a big Exogyra ponderosa in my local creek the other week, and got curious what else was out there. So I've just scooped through a bunch of gravel in Brushy Creek here and found a lot of little things that I wonder what they could be. 1. Tooth? (First two photos, front and back) 2. Smaller tooth? (Single photo) 3. Maaaaybe a tooth as well, or just an exceptionally pointy rock? (Last two photos) Thanks -- let me know if any other photos or info is needed. Next time I'll use a ruler .
  8. The dealer I know acquired a new batch, and I already have teeth from Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Abelisauridae. Are there any other rare teeth among these? I want to expand my collection. The color in this photo seems a bit dark; is it actually somewhat lighter?
  9. Hey there, It‘s my first post in this Forum, so it‘s time to say hello. My name is Philipp, born in Germany/Saxony. I grew up in the Erzgebirge and was surrounded and fascinated by mines and minerals when i grew up. On my current travel through Europe and Morocco the passion for Minerals and Fossils flamed up again. It’s hard for me not to think every moment about where I‘m going fossil/mineral hunting again so i don‘t annoy my girlfriend tooooo much ;) I’m currently in Morocco for a 3 Month trip to search for fossils and minerals. I was reading about the Mosasaur teeth in the Oil Shale Deposits near Bakrit/Timahdite and about some members visiting this area. I was wondering if someone can give me some locations where these teeth can be found. Looking forward to your answers Philipp

    Ptychodus IDs? Central Texas

    Hi all - found a small outcrop in an area mapped as “Eagle Ford Group and Buda Limestone undivided.” I filled a plastic bag with crumbly matrix and have so far found 2 Ptychodus teeth amongst other shark and fish teeth and fragments. Can anyone help narrow down an ID on these two? I’ve also included a photo of some of the matrix I gathered. Curious if anyone can tell the age or more details based on its appearance and the IDs of these teeth. Thanks!
  13. Hiya everyone I’m interested in this allocation of mosasaur teeth I know the roots are often faked so any help would be great.
  14. I had a couple hours to kill so I took a trip to Calvert Cliffs today. It is really picked over by this time of year. I found 7 ray plates, 3 small shark teeth(2 are broken), 3 crab claw tips, and some misc bone frags. I also brought back some matrix to go through and grabbed a little clay too. Does anyone one of breaking down the clay ever produces anything?

    American Mosasaurus and others

    I recently received some American Mosasaurus (and other) teeth. I would like to identify this, but that is proving difficult. Hopefully we can figure it out together. Tooth number 1, maybe Mosasaurus missouriensis? length: 1.5 centimeters Origin: Tombigbee river, Monroe county, Mississippi, USA Period: Eutaw formation, Cretaceous
  16. This is the first serious fossil hunting I’ve been able to do in a very long time and it was awesome! I stopped here on a whim for an afternoon on a return trip from vacation and it was absolutely worth it. Despite being poorly equipped (I literally threw together a small sifter with stuff from the hardware store and a staple gun), I think I came out pretty well! Definitely going to have to make a return trip sometime, I think the conditions were less than optimal this time around. It seemed like the water level was higher than usual because of the hurricane, so I think a lot of the usual spots were inaccessible. I wore my Tevas and am incredibly lucky not to have lacerated the snarge out of my feet/legs - there’s an insane amount of broken glass in the creek. I would definitely bring waders next time.
  17. Hello all, Earlier this week I went for my last fossil hunt in Al Ain (forever....or at least for the foreseeable future). I was specifically looking for shark teeth, and I am happy to have found some! I suspect this one to be a Jaekelotodus, which I have found previously. This one appears to be a tiger shark, or even a hemipristis, although I cannot be sure. Unfortunately, the tip is missing.
  18. I didn't realize I had the back side of the ray teeth, facing up? I guess I got in a hurry?
  19. Thankfully, Morocco offers Theropod Teeth at reasonable prices. They are quite attainable. These 2 teeth, were sold as; Spinosaurus Sp., and Carcharodontosaurus Saharicus. I am aware, that the Spinosaurus tooth has likely been repaired. I believe the Carcharodontosaurus tooth, has not. Hopefully, these id's are correct?

    Fish jaw with teeth

    I am once again asking for your expertise! This is one of the nicest fossils I’ve found, considering fish jaws and teeth are not that rare - but finding a jaw with teeth inside doesn’t happen that often at this beach. It was found at the Zandmotor beach in the Netherlands. This beach is known for Pleistocene mammal fossils. Fish vertebrae and teeth are also common, which may be way older than Pleistocene. I posted this fossil on Reddit some time ago too, but wasn’t able to get a conclusive answer. Someone suggested it might be amiid, but I don’t think amiid are found here. Could it be esox lucius (pike)? The total length is just short of 4cm. Unfortunately I had to apply paraloid before desalination, because the fossil was already starting to fall apart.

    Donated Fossils - Need Help IDing

    I work at a college in Southern California. We've had a lot of donations recently to our science department and some of those donations include fossils. I was able to identify some of them, but there are a few that I am having some trouble with. Some of the other fossils that we received are: Sand dollars, clams, oysters, worm hole casts, a sea cow tooth, a shark tooth, crinoids, brachiopods, scallops, gastropods, and bryozoans. Very few of these fossils included where they were found. The two labels we received said that the sea cow/shark tooth were found in California, as well as some of the sand dollars. Aside from that, I do not know where the fossils were found or what rock layers they were found in. Below are pictures and descriptions of the seven fossils. The above pictures I believe are teeth. In the research that I have done, I think they might be crocodile or alligator teeth. The one on the left is slightly curved, but the one on the right is more straight. Both have four "layers"; a thin outer layer, a second (also thin) layer, a thicker third layer, and then a fourth layer that fills the middle. The surface is bumpy rather than smooth, which is unexpected in regards to teeth. The base (~1cm) is wider than the top (L: ~.5cm, R: ~1cm). Both are about ~2.5cm from base to top. The fossil on the left has a broken tip so it might be longer and more curved than it appears and the base is also broken on a diagonal. I have no real idea what to make of this fossil, but I am thinking that it might be a plant fossil. The top is ~1.5cm in width and the bottom is ~2mm in width. From top to bottom, the fossil is ~3cm. There is a ridge on both of the horizontal "limbs" as well as a half cm ridge starting at the slight dip at the top. What is visible of this fossil appears to be circular and ringed with smaller, inner rings and outer, larger rings. The diameter is ~1.5cm. A few of the other fossils that were donated were crinoids, so I was thinking this might be in the same realm as that, but it is so much larger than all of the crinoids that we were given. I am thinking that these might be clams because we were given an abundance of clams, but I am not certain. The one on the right has small, white crystals (possibly quartz) on the bottom of it. I tried to get a picture of the crystals, but they were far too small. I understand that this is super vague and might not be a lot to go on, but any help would be appreciated!

    Help ID Fossil

    Hello, A family friend passed away and left me his rock, mineral, and fossil collection. Much of it was labeled, but there were several boxes of odds and ends that I’ve been working to identify. I believe this is fossilized bone as it’s heavy for its size. Forgive me if this is just bone. I don’t know where this is from, but my friend collected in CA primarily in the 70s through 80s. Most of his stuff was from local shows around that time. Any ideas of what this might be?
  23. I am tempted to bid on one of these, I haven't got a a portuguese tooth yet. I was wondering if anyone is able to narrow down the species. Tooth 1 14.5mm x 6.8 x 3.7 Tooth 2 - 6.5mm x 3.3 mm, x 1.9 mm thanks for the help
  24. Hello!!! On this topic, I would LOVE to see everybody's mosasaur fossils!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's my Halisaurus (probably) tooth fossil!
  25. I hunted for 6.5 hours; at a paid access private property on May 7th, 2023 in Bowling Green, Florida. Pictured here, are only the Shark Teeth I found that day. There were a bunch of other fossils found; but most of the people there, were mainly searching for Shark Teeth. Especially, Megalodon Teeth. My picture here, is an example of what Shark Teeth may be found; if one doesn't get into the Megalodon Teeth, with much success. I believe I counted 160 Shark Teeth, in this photo. Fortunately; i also found lots of Mammal Bone, and other types of Fossil Teeth that day. I found a pile of stuff.
