Hi all, I could not resist and took another shot on my quest to obtain a Dakotaraptor tooth. Here the tooth in question this time: It was found in the Hell Creek Formation, Garfield County. Measurements are: CH 1,41 cm - CBL 0,68 cm - CBW 0,3 cm - denticles per 5mm are 22 mesial and 19 distal. Note the slight tilt of the denticles towards the tip of the tooth. It's the best fit I have found so far, what deviates from the dePalma description is the shape of the base, it has a pinch, but I would not consider it rectangular. As a side note, it looks exactly like the base of Acheroraptor teeth I have in my collection. But, I am not an expert Thanks for taking a look!

Is this a fossilized tooth of some kind? I found it at the beach in Northeast Florida

Picked this up last week in the Peace River, FL. When I took it out of the screen I gave it a quick look and thought it might be a ray barb (was distracted by a nice dolphin periotic in the same tray) and stuffed it in my pouch. After getting home and taking another look I saw enamel and what I take for an angled bite surface. I have looked through my reference materials and searched on line but have yet to come up with a match. I am thinking land mammal but have not ruled out some type of cetacean. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, found this at Big Brook NJ and trying to determine if it's possible a Mosasaur or Croc tooth or stone/other. It's about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2" long. Thanks for any info!

Is this Megalodon Fossil Real
John Allison posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I picked up this Megalodon tooth fossil in a fossil shop in Orkney. I’ve had it for little under a year now and am only just now considering it’s authenticity. To me it seems legit, mostly due to the condition of the top and I cannot find any evident tells of casting. Anyone with more expertise able to give me an answer? See pictures attached. Thanks, John. Additional information: Price - £75 Size - 4.7” Weight - 5.4 Oz / 156g

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can help me to identify an interesting find. It is a remarkably tooth-like 'rock' that I uncovered while digging my garden in Hampshire, UK, last year. As you can see from the photos, it features striking, alternating stripes of white and bluish-grey around the base. As the 'tooth' narrows, the stripes abruptly stop and the texture becomes plain, though the pointed tip is different again, being white, quite sharp and crystalline in appearance. When I found it, it was covered in a softer, sandstone-like material that I carefully removed with a wire brush to reveal the shape you see now. Sadly, my layman's search has revealed nothing convincing so far, so I'm wondering whether it's just a tooth-shaped rock. Hence why I'm now turning to people who actually know what they're talking about for a definitive answer. Thank you in advance for your expertise and time. EDIT: Forgot to attach the all-important size photo! Now attached.

I was going through my unknown fossil bits and thought this looked like the main cusp of a cow shark (Paleocene). My problem is....I can’t remember if I found this at Douglas Point or at flag pond (this is my only fossil that got mixed up)

Hi everyone, found this in a new jersey cretaceous creek. Looks like a partial enamel something but I'm not exactly sure what it can possibly be from, it interestingly has some very defined ridges on the least worn side. Very hard to catch the clearest pics to show the sharpest definition but I tried to get the best I could. Maybe this can be a clue to a potential id. Pictures of it with whiteish background are upside down.

Not too long ago I got some sort of tooth from a seller at a show. She inherited it from a family member (her mother, if memory serves) and believed it to be a megalodon tooth, but she doesn't specialize in fossils in the slightest, and it doesn't 100% look like the megalodon teeth I've seen before, plus I don't think she did extensive research because if it is indeed a megalodon tooth then I think I bought it for quite the steal. I've bought from her before, and I trust that she's not being maliciously dishonest, but I definitely want a more expert opinion. I'm certainly new to this realm and before took the seller's word for truth, so I definitely have no idea what it is, but the shape seems like a shark tooth maybe, and some of its features look pretty dang real to me so I don't currently think it's a straight-up fake fossil? Anyways, let me know what you guys think -- I tried to take pictures from a few different angles and closeups on details that seemed important, but again I'm new to this so if you've got some tips on that then please share! I can't wait to learn about whatever creature this belonged to

Found this at Calvert today. Was about to toss it aside as a rock, but I thought it might be a tooth. Possibly a crocodile tooth or just a rock pretending to be a tooth?

Cleaning (purple) carbonate from tooth fossils
giftedsifrhippus posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Many of the fossils collected from the Bighorn Basin are coated in this nasty purple-ish carbonate material. I've tried soaking it in a dilute acetic acid but it's not very effective. Would dilute muriatic acid work? Or would it react with hydroxyapatite? -
Can anyone help us identify this tooth that we found near Bakersfield? We are hoping it's a baby megalodon tooth. Our other thought is that it might be a snaggletooth shark. Thanks for your help.

Hi all! Most of you will know me as an invertebrate person, but, recently, I found something that may change my view! I was splitting some Jurassic Cotswold limestone, and I found a tooth. A tiny tiny tooth, which I believe to be a shark(?). In other chunks of the matrix, I found scales, and other hints to vertebrate life. It heavily fluoresces under UV light, and has these gorgeous lines along the flat crown. To the bottom right of the tooth, there is a partial mold of a brachiopod, which is pretty cool! Ancholme Group, Callovian - Oxfordian (166.1 - 157.3 mya). As a sister question to the ID, I would like to know if I should dissolve the rest of the matrix I found it in, to find more teeth from the same creature? If anyone could help with either question, I would be much obliged! Thanks all!
