    Sloth and Camelid

    Years ago I frequently hunted an isolated productive site with a good friend on Saturday because he was consumed with a day job. I returned to that site today and had one of my more successful recent hunts. He just happened to decide to return to the same general vicinity today and we met and hunted together for the 1st time in 20 months. It was fun .. As fossil hunters sometimes do, we talked about those Glory days years ago, when the finds were numerous and hunting was easy.. I do not have time today, tomorrow to photo and discuss finds. But I'll show a photo confirming the finds and ask for an ID on 2 of them. 1st the Camelid tooth possibly with a pathology. I believe it to be a lower left m3. and there are only 2 choices in Florida. Palaeolama mirafica or Hemiauchenia macrocephala. 2nd is also a tooth, and I am thinking Sloth... I have seen a lot of Sloth teeth and pushed I would say Harlans. Is this tooth pathological ? Which end is the chewing surface? What is the semi_pointed thing sticking out the right side ? I always feel blessed finding unusual fossils... Jack

    Ray Plate? Recent?

    Hello. I found this on the beach today. I’ve seen similar posts that make me think it may be part of some type of ray dental plate. But since it’s not very black, does that mean it’s not very old? Also, is there a way to know what type of Ray it could be from? Thanks so much!

    Cutting my teeth on teeth identification?

    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Thanks to all of you who try to help the less educated such as myself (at least in this field of study). I occasionally come across the remnants of back-office dumpsters from ancient dental offices where mammals would go to get teeth pulled. Ok, joking.. but seriously, I’ve reviewed some helpful threads on tooth identification but I’m not confident in what I see. 1) do my photos give enough of a view to say with confidence what they belonged to? 2) can you help me identify these? Let’s count 1-6 starting with upper left. Don’t worry about identifying the hand, that’s mine. I think #1 upper left is camel. I don’t know about #2. I think #3 (upper right) is bison? Thanks in advance! These are all from Johnson County and Tarrant County TX. Mostly Tarrant County.
  4. Hi, Fellow Fossil Folks. Are any of these things more than rocks?

    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..
  6. 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.
  10. I think these are fossils but need someone to verify and possibly identify. I found these in a creek bed along the Little Harpeth River in Brentwood, TN. They were all within a 30’ area in the creek bed. Some may not even be fossils but figured I’d post pictures just in case they were. I’ve taken close ups of the first row and if I need to take some of the other rows I can. “A” and “B” are the ones I’m most curious about because to me they look like actual fossils. ”C”-“E” feel like a shell of some sort, like a turtle. “G” & “H” are cylindrical looking and sound like porcelain when you tap them against something. “T” looks like a finger and has ripples in the sides and is fairly heavy. Not light like a regular fossil would be. “U” almost feels and sounds like porcelain and I found it in the same area as these others. The last one is what I think is a turtle shell that doesn’t look to be a fossil but I’ll leave that up to you all to decide.

    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.
  12. 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?
  13. This is a strange piece. It looks somewhat like teeth. It has the appearance of sea anemones with the columnar bodies. I acquired it from a friend in Florida that digs in the Sarasota county area. I'm clueless on this one. It is heavy and dense. Is it simply lava?

    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 .
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. Hi all Some of you may remember that I used to (and still do) research on fossils from the Late Cretaceous chalk of Denmark... Now there are 2 main chalk sites in Denmark, Møns Klint and Stevns Klint. My work focuses on the stuff from Møns Klint, but in all honesty there's some spectacular fossils coming out of both localities. One thing that both Møns and Stevns have in common is that fossils of mosasaurs (giant lizard-like marine reptiles) are extremely rare, with only a small handful of specimens found every year. A few years ago, I went to the Geomuseum Faxe (south of Copenhagen) to check out one of the finest mosasaur specimens from the Danish Chalk. It's roughly 67 million years old, and was found by amateur collector Peter Bennicke at a small quarry close to the Stevns Klint cliffs. The specimen is preserved in a large-ish block of chalk (~0.7 metres wide). The whole fossil consists of about 7 or 8 teeth, and some small cranial and jaw fragments. Yeah. Mosasaurs are so rare in Denmark that the best mosasaur fossil is a small association of a few teeth and bone bits. These remains are from Plioplatecarpus sp., one of the smaller fish-eating mosasaurs. The find was considered so rare that it was declared as part of the "Danish Natural History treasure trove" (Danekræ, catalogue Nº DK-1048). The museum where the mosasaur is kept (on loan from the natural history museum in Copenhagen). The chalk quarry (Stevns Kridtbrud) where the mosasaur fossil was found. Here's the Plioplatecarpus specimen in all its fragmentary glory! Most mosasaur fossils in Denmark are in the form of single isolated teeth, so this find is especially cool because it's one of very few (2-3) specimens that consist of multiple associated bones/teeth from one individual. This one would've been roughly 4-5 metres long, and would have ate small to mid-sized fish such as Enchodus. By the way sorry for the not-so-great photo quality, it's kinda difficult to take good pictures from behind an exhibition case... Best-preserved teeth. Tiny little teeth... And a small scrap of bone, probably cranial. More bone fragments... So yeah, a few associated teeth and bits of bone - for something so rare, this one's pretty cool. Hopefully I can find something like that, at Møns Klint this time, when I go out for this year's fieldwork! Let me know what you think about this nice mosasaur specimen!!

    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!
