Total newbie at fossils and to this forum. Husband and I spent the weekend exploring the NSR in Ladonia Texas. Had so much fun and think I found some cool stuff. Definitely some teeth, some baculite? Maybe some petrified wood? Thanks in advance for anyone who is kind enough to respond.

Total newbie here, hoping for some help identifying my finds. Spent the weekend digging and exploring the NSR in Ladonia. I know I have some teeth and baculite. Any info will be greatly appreciated. 20201205_161611.jpg, 20201206_153351.jpg, 20201207_081104.jpg, 20201207_081130.jpg, 20201207_081212.jpg, 20201207_081228.jpg, 20201207_081251.jpg, 20201207_081329.jpg

Hey Folks, my presence has been a little light on here lately, I have been hanging around in TFF facebook as an admin and working on furthering my nascent paleo career. I hope you are all doing well, I certainly miss all my forum friends! I have been doing a little side project for a few months: writing Wikipedia pages for fossil Cartilaginous fish. It's one little way I can give back to the fossil community, so the next curious person doesn't have to go through the trouble of finding and accessing references and distilling information for obscure species as I have. It's also a task I find a little mindless and relaxing. Anyway, one problem I consistently run across is a lack of usable photos. While not strictly necessary, I think it is helpful to have a visual aid. Up until now, I have gone down the list alphabetically and contacted people to get pictures of teeth, but this is extremely tedious and I don't always get responses. So, I have a humble request! If you have shark or ray teeth from species or genera which do not yet have a picture and/or page on Wikipedia and you would be fine with it being used on one, upload a picture to Wikimedia Commons or post it in this thread and I can upload it. If you chose the former, let me know here so I can write a page on it or insert it into the proper article. If you chose the latter, it will be under my name (Mason Hintermeister) but I can credit you in the description. If you'd like me to do so, let me know what name you'd like to be credited as (You can PM me this information if you like). If you have fossils of species and genera which don't have Wikipedia pages which are not cartilaginous fish, I can upload them too and maybe even write a page for them. I'm not expecting a ton of responses here, but I like to think every new page and picture helps. Photographs are usually under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, a fancy way of saying the photograph is usable by anyone provided they link the citation and they do not alter the photograph. If you upload it yourself, you have other options and if you have me upload it and you would like to use a different option just let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hi all!! These were found along the Venice, FL beaches this past week (along with other items that like dozens of shark teeth, a sand dollar, lots of shells, etc). My extreme novice research says the common epochs here are Plio and Pleistocene (but spans early Miocene through Pleistocene epochs from what I have read), with the main formations being undifferentiated shellbeds, Caloosahatchee formation, Tamiami formation, and Fort Thompson Formation (although I've seen geo material reference others as well like the Peace River Formation, which I know is popular on TFF, but unsure whether it actually encompasses Venice Beach area). From reading the forums, it seems that Venice is already well known by members, so I suppose I am mostly writing out this info above you so all can correct me if I am wrong! Could anyone else identify any of these? I have a few guesses, but that is about it. Set A really interested me because of what looks like fossils within in them - maybe I am just seeing things though *I didn't put much focus on the shark teeth (this was just a group of the teeth found on 1 of the days). I am really interested to learn how to identify other items!

What do you think? This tooth is 3 inches long. It was found in private land in Wyoming, Hell Creek Formation

Rooted carcharodontosaurus teeth
Fotsirk posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi . I got some rooted teeth. I heard they are harder to find because it means the dinosaur died. So are these good Thanks

Hello! Help to identify it please? Is it Physogaleus..? Max size: ~ 6,5 mm. Age: Cretaceous - Neogene. Location: Western Ukraine Thanks!

My 29th trip to Big Brook and I decided to try to get there by an unnamed tributary I found on a map. Got to explore an area with little evidence of usage as shown by the paucity of glass and plastic. Overgrown and thorny and I think I saw my first bear footprint (photo below). Posted below are photos of what I think is an Enchodus jaw and two teeth and also what I think is a partial crab claw but much bigger than any I’ve found before. I also think I found my first arrowhead. Any info greatly appreciated.

Hello! Is it Dasyatis tooth? Length: ~ 1,5 mm. Age: Cretaceous - Neogene. Location: Western Ukraine Thanks!

Here are some finds from two trips in early November. Several ptychodus with one nice large one, a ton of shark teeth shards, a couple pieces of mammal enamel, and some unknowns. Im posting the shark teeth first and then will post the pictures of some of the others. Let me know what you think. Anyone know the species of the teeth in picture 1? I was specifically wondering about number 3 from the first picture. Pictures 6-10 are closeups. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Hello! Is it tooth of some bony fish..? I found some slightly similar teeth from family Diodontidae, but they were bigger and without "serration" between layers. Height: ~ 1 mm. Age: Middle Miocene. Location: Western Ukraine Thanks in advance!
-
Thought I’d share an example of the floating frames I use to display some of the teeth and claws that we find. Also used to display shark teeth and arrowheads. Pretty dang cheap and I like how they look. Online they are “floating frames” or coin display frames. All kinds of sizes.

Hello! Is it possible to identify this tooth? May be Synechodus? Height: ~ 5 mm. Age: most probably redeposits from Cretaceous or Paleogene. Location: Western Ukraine Thanks!

Please help me ID these shark teeth that were found on the west coast of Florida (near Venice) over the past weekend. My belief is that the top row could be Great White and/or Megalodon (very nice serration on the largest/first one), the second row is either Bull or Dusky, and the third row is Hemipristis (Snaggletooth). As for the fourth row... the jury is still out. I am most intrigued by the third/tiny one (from left to right). It looks different from anything else I have ever found. Very compact, lots of detail, and oddly shaped. Any ideas???

Please help ID any of these sharks teeth that were collected from the west coast of Florida (near Venice) this past weekend. Based on my research, the top two rows look like Sand Tiger and the bottom two look like Lemon. Would this be correct or are there any that look out of sorts?

Hello! Is it Physogaleus tooth. Length: ~ 6 mm. Age: Cretaceus - Miocene. Location: Western Ukraine Thanks!

Hello! I'm new to this forum and fossil hunting overall. I'd love some help identifying my best shark teeth finds so far (still holding out for some big ones). Especially the (partial?) on the top row, as it's very serrated and my biggest to-date. These are all from Calvert Cliffs, Matoaka / Long Beach area, and a couple from Flag Ponds, so all Miocene. (Please let me know if it would be helpful to upload any other photos or info.) Many thanks!

I made a trade with a fellow Texas fossil hunter - sent him some Central Texas goodies for some North Texas Post Oak Creek gravel. I was hoping to get a gallon bag to look through in my microscope.....and he sent me FIVE gallon bags full of just scooped up out of the creek gravel! So far I've made it through ONE and a half of those bags! It may take me the rest of 2020 and right on through most of 2021! So I thought I'd post some of the good stuff I've found so far. Starting it off with THE TEETH. There were some larger teeth, nothing great, no ptychodus, which I was hoping for, but the mini finds have been outstanding. I have tried to ID them but if I am inaccurate in any of them , please let me know! Here is Part Two: The most common teeth: Goblin shark- Scapanorhynchus Size 1/2 inch (13 mm) My favorite - Squalicorax Size 1/4 inch (6 mm) Pretty sure these are all Cretolamna but I am not completely certain. I know the top left on is Cretolamna appendiculata. Size 1/4 inch (6 mm) And then there are the shark teeth that do not look like your "typical shark tooth"! These are Cantioscyllium (Nurse shark) Size 1/8 inch (3 mm) (Top row shows front and back of one and bottom row is front and back of another) Another pair of really interesting odd teeth Top Row: Kiestus texanus (front and side) Bottom Row: Rhinobatos lobatus (front and back) Size 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) Hybodont Meristodonoides Teeth and an Enchodus Fish tooth Size : Hybodonts 1/8 inch and Enchodus 1/4 inch Finally. lots and lots of Sawfish teeth! I am having a hard time distinguishing between Ptychotrygon and Texatrygon, so I just put them all together: Size 1/8 (3 mm) except bottom right red one which is 1/16 inch 1.5 mm) Other Teeth - I think the bottom left round one is a Pycnodont? Size 1/8 inch More to come! Crab Claws and Vertebras and other stuff!

Hello everyone, So here we are, back in lock-down so an ideal time to review some finds. Just prior to the latest imprisonment I dashed down to Tidmoor Point near Chesil Beach for the day and grabbed some gravel to look through at home during the long nights. A few interesting items turned up and I wonder if anyone can help ID them please? The first 2 photo's show 3 teeth, the first 2 look to be from the same type of animal, the last evidently something very different. Do you think these were from (small) sharks or some kind of fish, (the divisions on the ruler are in mm). The last 3 photo's look like Merlins hat! At first they looked like teeth but now I'm leaning towards some kind of coral. Once again many thanks for any help you can offer - good luck in your fossil hunting! Best regards Keith
