Hello, I haven't posted anything to the Forum in ages as the job I had, had me gone all of the time and what little time I had I spent with the family. But, like so many other people who worked in the oilfield, I now have plenty of time as I was laid off. So, I have actually had some time to go out and look for stuff and have found some specimens that I have tentatively ID'd. Please correct my ID's and there are a few I have no idea what they are at all. Thanks for any help. Stephen This is a Squalicorax lindstromi, in 3 years of looking it is only the second I have found here in Wyoming.

This jaw section is from the Nebraska Badlands. Found near a Hyaenodon jaw. I'm no expert. Anyone know what this is from? My first tentative guess is three toed horse...Any experts?

Hi! I am planning on taking a trip to Summerville in a few months and was wondering if anyone had any good spots they could give me the locations of. I've never been there, and will be respecting the no-digging policy, but I have no idea where to go. There are a lot of videos on youtube of amazing finds! But I don't know where they are. If someone could give me some places, I'd really appreciate it Thanks!

From the album: Ursus spelaeus (Cave Bear) collection.
Ursus spelaeus teeth (molars, premolars and incisors) from the Dachstein Mountains in Steiermark, Austria. Pleistocene. -
I'm not having much luck in trying to identify this fossil tooth, by attempting to find similar images of tooth pattern and size. I have no information on where it was found, and the label only read "Fossil Tooth". The roots are large, and show some kind of apparent secondary mineral growth which gives them an abnormally rough appearance. The enameled crown measures 2.75" x 1.40", and the height when upright measures 3". There is loose, but trapped, bone, visible in one of the pictures, between four of the roots. If anyone has any suggestions, or recognizes the tooth, it would be appreciated greatly! Paul

This Is For You Tyrannosaur Lovers/Collectors/Experts
Raptor Lover posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Thought you tyrannosaur collectors and experts might like this article. It is about how they recently discovered that different teeth in T Rex's mouth did different things and had different serrations and tooth angles. It's really interesting. Check it out! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120318100451.htm -
Hi, and thanks for your time! I am wondering if the first three little teeth are Meg teeth. I wasn't sure especially about the light colored two. I have an appreciation for, and small beginning of a collection of, Megs. And as for the six in the last pic, well, I'm not familiar with any other type of tooth so can you please clue me into what types of teeth these are? Thanks again!

Opinion on fossil jaw
HeartandFist posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I purchased this fossil Globidens jaw fragment at a Gem and Mineral Show about a month ago. The crown of the tooth appears to be real, as does the jaw bone. Being cautious of Moroccan fakes, I made sure not to pay too much for the piece. While the individual parts appear to be genuine, I have noticed repair marks and markings that suggest the tooth may be composited onto the root. Any opinions or insight into the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Geoff

Hello there! These are some sort of vertebrate teeth, found in Big Brook Creek, NJ. They are presumably from the Cretaceous. My partners and I believe they are either Extinct Goblin or Extinct Sand Shark, but we wanted to be sure. Hope you guys can help! - B.

Hey everyone, I'm new to this but I was hoping to get your help with an ID for this fossil.. I found it and several neat things diving the Edisto River in SC this past weekend. Let me know if you need any better pics. Thanks - Kniero

I'm pretty exhausted so I did a very quick, preliminary cleaning of our finds. I'll add better photos of the fossils with the ruler over the next day or so to this thread. This is by far our biggest haul so far! Sorry for the poor photo. I promise to get better pics as I clean them properly over the next day or so (algebra exam tomorrow *shudders* so not sure how much attention I can give the finds tomorrow). MEGA thanks to Sharks of SC! edit: there is probably one or two that I will post on the ID thread if I can't find anything online - like the one that is on the top right....

So I came across these spinosaurus teeth and I have some questions/concerns. I don't have great knowledge for identifying fake teeth and would like some help with these. IMO they look real, but on the upper tooth I'm not sure if the left side has had some fabrication done. From some basic online comparisons, that part of the tooth should be the root and no other spinosaurus tooth online has this much build up of matrix. I'm leaning towards it being leftover matrix which hasn't been removed because I do see some of this material on the tip of the tooth, but I would like to be sure and see if its something to be concerned with.

Does anyone know of any good Southern California fossil shows/ fossil dealers? Looking for theropod teeth. Thanks -
Can Anybody Help Me Find Some Dinosaur Teeth?
Bahariasaurus posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey everybody, BEFORE YOU JUDGE - this topic isn't as amateurish as I've made it sound with my hilariously vague title. I'm conducting a bit of research about dinosaur dentition in comparison with bird beaks and the evolutionary relationship between the two for the Natural History Museum - however, before I'm assured access to their collections I'd rather like a few dinosaur teeth in hand to conduct some tests, measurements etc on. I have a nice Bahariasaurus tooth, a raptor of some description and I think I'm getting a Triceratops one for my birthday - but I need a reasonable cross section for this to be a scientific discussion, e.g. a tyrannosaur tooth, some much smaller, perhaps insect-eating dinosaur teeth and maybe even an Iguanodon tooth if they're about (as they were one of the only chewing dinosaurs). I'm not so much trying to collect these as I am trying to study them. As long as most aspects of dinosaur diet are reflected then I'll have a good basis for my discussion - so flesh slicing, bone crushing, fish eating, insect eating, plant stripping, leaf/stem cutting, chewing perhaps and any other areas I've missed out. My question to you guys - are there any websites with a pretty good selection at not a terrible price about which I might have missed? I'm not terribly adept at finding such sites and the sooner I can get my hands on some good specimens the better. Thanks in advance! Robbie -
This first tooth was found in southeast Alabama and reminds me of a porpoise tooth that I've seen before. It's 1-3/4" long and 1/2" wide. It was found in an area where we find everything from goblin to mosasaur teeth. Any thoughts as to what it is would be greatly appreciated!

The Spectacular Case Of The "crystal Cave" Megalodon Tooth - A Classy Example
Fossil_Rocks posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Given the enormous number of repaired Megalodon teeth, which we must endure, and in honor of the new sub-forum here, I thought this might be a good time and place to revisit a classic case. It all began with a simple, but hopeful question, put to the membership here, last year. The item below was the item in question.

Ok fellow hunters and collectors, I have once again the need for your advice. I was in coastal SC few days ago and found these bones, teeth?, and a vert. I am hoping someone can help me ID this joint, and other items. There are a couple that look more like claws than teeth, however that is why I am asking you knowledgeable folks for your expert advice! And it looks like I may have found another type of mouth plate. They all came from the same ditch. Your help as always is greatly appreciated!

One thing that it seems we do not take as seriously as we should is transitional shark teeth. Scientists have, for centuries attempted to condense specimens into individual species, calling those that do not fit in "odd" teeth and focusing on their neat little groupings. What we forget is that this only represents certain points on the graph, with an infinite amount of possible points in between each! This post was created to allow our community to commemorate and share their best transitional shark teeth specimens from any species, even if those are not confirmed. It is these seemingly extranneous teeth that hold the real answer to evolution. Show us the best transitionals and suspected transitionals you have!

Hi all! My daughter, husband and I were on Caswell Beach, Oak Island in NC. We were searching for shark teeth when we found this molar that I marked as A. It appears to be a mammal molar in a partial jaw bone...we were super excited especially as we have never found anything like this before. The next day we drove to Southport. A small town on the Cape Fear river only a couple of miles away. We were super surprised and excited to find the molar that I marked as B. There is a small local museum (they are extremely nice and I highly recommend visiting it if you are ever in the area...it is even free!) we took molar B there and they told us that they were not sure what kind of animal it came from but have occasionally seen other mammal molars come out of the Cape Fear. If you have any idea I would love to hear it. I can take more pictures if needed. Thank you so very much!!
