Wanted: Crocodile teeth (STH stuff to trade)
gigantoraptor posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hello all Up for trade I offer this nice set of Shark tooth Hill teeth from Kern County California. In return for this set, or individual teeth I would like to get crocodile or crocodile-like (alligator, Phytosaurs...) teeth from as many various locations/species as possible. This group of animals is a bit underappreciated I think, but last time I lend some fossils to the local school, there were some crocodile teeth among them and the kids really loved them and that surprised me a bit. Anyway, I hope I can expand my crocodile collection a bit. These teeth are available for trading: Upper row: Allodesmus tooth, two unknown whale teeth, Desmostylus tooth, Allodesmus canine (glued) Lower row: Dolphin ear bone?, Rooted Allodesmus tooth, Rooted whale tooth. I already got: Still undetermined species from the Hell Creek Formation, USA Phytosaur teeth from the Chinle formation, USA Geosaurine Metriorhynchid, from Painten, Germany Unknown species from Unknown formation or location in Argentina Multiple species from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco Sarcosuchus imperator from the Elrhaz formation in NIger. Machimosaurus sp. from Portugal. Yet unidentified tooth from France (Self found). Might be crocodile, might be other reptile. Alligator teeth from Florida USA. What I really want: Big croc tooth from Java, Indonesia Pallimnarchus tooth or jaw piece from Australia Razanandrongobe tooth from Madagascar Kaprosuchus tooth from Niger Deinosuchus tooth from the USA Croc crowns (+6cm) or rooted croc teeth from Kem Kem. Crocodile teeth from Dinosaur bearing formations throughout the USA Canadian croc tooth. I'm also interested in other crocodile teeth, depending on country, or condition.. Size isn't really important. So far, on a map, these are the countries I got crocodile teeth from: Who, oh who could help me to paint this map more red.

Hello, A few days ago, me and my dad had to travel to London to get my American passport renewed at the US embassy. Afterwards, my dad headed towards the cafe to get something to eat as I took a stroll along the thames foreshore. I quickly realized that there were a lot of bones and teeth scattered along the shoreline, at the time I thought they were pleistocene, but now that I've looked online it seems to me that they're "medieval", apparently the tudors and georgians habitually tossed dead animal carcasses into the river. Even so, some of the teeth I picked up were very heavy and I couldn't help thinking that they could be pleistocene. Is there a possibility of them being pleistocene or is it all wishful thinking on my part? I reckon photo 2 is a bison tooth although am not sure. Photo 3 looks like two sheep teeth. The jaw seems to be from a domesticated pig (so probably something the georgians tossed into the river) and I believe the canine in the last photo comes from a dog. Can anyone ID the rest of the teeth and whether they are pleistocene or not? Thanks Here are the photos, hopefully they help:

I have spent many hours this week scouring all the great meg photos and data on the site, however I have a very large plaster cast of a meg tooth that the Dean wants prepped, restored and made ready for a board meeting in two weeks. Good news is I can make that happen. this is a poor detail cast and has had sloppy grinder work done it in addition to at least three layers of badly applied spray enamel. Good news is I have it in a xylene/toluene/dichloromethane bath to strip the paint and preserve the plaster. bad news is I’m having trouble properly scaling the serrations on my practice runs with monster clay. I’m trying to perfect the technique before I start the apoxy work on Sunday . wondering if anyone could provide some serration macros with a millimeter scale from a meg tooth in the 5-8 inch range, I’d be forever grateful. I’ll post a step by step in the proper part of the forum when I start the actual project.

Hey everyone, How do you tell the difference between the teeth of theropods from the Morrison formation, such as Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, Marshosaurus, and/or Ceratosaurus? Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

Small jaw segment with teeth (Ischyromys?) White River Formation
Opabinia Blues posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, this is a small jaw segment from the White River Formation (Poleslide Member of the Brule) from Weld County, CO. This is one of a few jaw segments I cannot white identify. It does not look like the Leptomeryx jaw segments that I have collected (and indeed is even too small to fit that genus), and the shape of the teeth to me do not look like they belong to an Artiodactyl of any kind, so my best guess based on picture browsing is Ischyromys but I could be very very wrong here so I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hello folks. I’m in Cape Cod on vacation and although I know I won’t find any fossil shark teeth here I HAVE to collect something so I walking the beach picking up rocks and shells and hoping for shark teeth or some marine bone. I did find these teeth on the beach and hoping that someone (Harry ?) can identify them. Don’t have a ruler but 2-3 inches long. Thank you all

Hello! This is a canine tooth (that has been split in half) that I collected from the White River Formation (I believe Poleslide Member of the Brule) from Weld County, CO. I think it is a carnivore’s canine rather than simply an Oreodont canine just due to its size, but I could be wrong there I suppose. My best guess is Daphoeneus or similar due to its shape, it does not look like Hyaenodon to me, but again, could be totally off there. Pictured is the tooth’s lateral surface, interior (because it was split when I found it) and the “cutting surface.” Thanks!

From the album: Aurora/Lee Creek Mine Micro Matrix
This assemblage came from one cup (about 340 ml) of micro matrix from Aurora Fossil Museum. Oddly, they are generally much larger than most of what I found in the rest of the matrix. They are all from either the Pliocene or Pleistocene. See album description. -

I was recently reorganizing my fossil collection and thought I would share some pieces I collected during Paleontology field trips in undergrad at Alabama. I'm glad I took thorough notes at the time! The demopolis chalk is a popular formation for finding Exogyra/ostrea/pycnodonte shells and shark teeth. We visited a site in Tupelo, MS many times for surface collecting. Some of the cool pieces I found were many fragments of a mosasaur jaw (top pic, top 2 slots), a Squalicorax kaupi tooth, a scyliorhinus(?) tooth, bony fish vertebrae, and bony fish teeth. I was told the dark fossils at the right of the third picture might be ray plates, but I'm not sure. Turritella in pic 1 are from a different formation.

Not sure what these Crushing tooth plates belong to (Solved: Fragments from Metacoceras Sp.)
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location: Missouri Timer period: Paleozoic (Might be Pennsylvanian) Formation: N/A Hello! My friend recently gifted to me a few fossils and he brought to me an interesting tooth/crushing plate and asked if I was familiar with it, and unfortunately I was not! He mentioned what he thought it could belong to, but I am unable to recall what species. Some information I was told was that his mother actually found his specimen at a location a few years ago and I was unable to get a picture of the location or check it out due to a busy schedule! My friend's specimen (he took home): Around 5-6 cm The one he gifted me: (backside) Roughly 2.5cm long ( The plate fossil itself) Images in their natural size (not compressed): https://imgur.com/a/ZWA47Mf.jpg.6f1807591999b8a486215e42bbd71232.jpg)

New to the forum and having fun searching for fossil teeth at beaches. Went to Topsail beach, NC a week ago and found these (pics attached). They look like teeth but do not resemble any that I've seen in pdfs or pictures of fossils expected in NC. They vary in size and directional angle. The "top" of the teeth have mostly a rounded surface and the "underside" have angular cavities. I'd appreciate any thoughts on what they are. Even if they are nothing special, I had fun doing the search and will continue to do so!

These were found on Manasota Beach over the weekend. Is the shark tooth a mako? The other two we have no clue. Thanks so much.

Hey all, I recently got into hunting for sharks teeth in March when COVID hit. My fiancé’s father gave us an old shadow box over the weekend and I pulled out some of my favorite teeth to display in it from some of my hunts. Before that I just had them in mason jars. All of the teeth were found in Charleston, SC from March - September from 3-4 different spots. I just snapped a couple pictures, but I can provide more if there is interest. As far as organization goes... - Row 1, 2: Megs; Angys - Row 3: Great White teeth - Row 4, 5, 6: C. hastalis; Makos; Parotodus benedini (on row 4) - Bottom Left Corner: Alopias Grandis; A couple small Alopias teeth - Bottom Center: Sand Tiger teeth; my largest Carcharhinus sp. (Possibly Bull Shark?) tooth - Bottom Right: Upper and lower Snaggletooth teeth - A few Tiger Shark teeth above the Snaggletooth corner I hope you enjoy looking at some of my finds over the last 6 months or so!

The part of the jaw is from village Mladen, Sevlievsko, Bulgaria. The jaw is found near Jurassic fossils. I'm not sure from what it is and I'm not sure if it's a fossil. I don't know from where are the tooths and like the jaw, I'm not sure if it they are fossils.
