I found this tooth today at my usual spot at in Summerville SC and I found this tooth amongst the sharks teeth that was very strange to me. The most similar thing online I’ve seen to it is squalodon due to the wrinkly enamel, accessory cusps, and two roots. However, they seem to be extremely rare or nonexistent in this region. I would love to hear any thoughts or opinions on the ID of this tooth. Thank you on advance!

Found this large fossil tooth at the Kaloot beach, The Netherlands while looking for fossil shark teeth. Tried cross referencing it to the local database and I think it might be a European Bison...but I'm not sure. Maybe some of you guys can ID it! It's about 10-12 cm tall (rough estimate), two deep grooves on top. Bottom is hollow. Quite worn, you can see the internal bone structure in several places. Sides are smooth. Would love to hear what you guys think!

I found this in a phosphatic nodule from the Mecca Quarry Shale (Middle Pennsylvanian) of Illinois. It's pretty jumbled, perhaps as a result of digestion. My first reaction was that this is the base of a fish tooth, but I am not positive. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I received this Allosaurus tooth from the Morrisson formation in Wyoming USA. It is tiny (13mm). I was wondering if it was from a Juvenile specimen or just a small adult tooth? Is there any way of telling? Thanks for your help. Regards.

Hello, I found this Elephant? tooth a few weeks ago. The sourounding area is very salty, so I assume that's part of the reason there are gypsum crystals on this fossil. I would like to expose more of the tooth, but I am afraid I will harm the fossil, since they dont come off easily. Should I use any specific techniques?

I'm thinking it's a camelid incisor. The guy I got this from over the weekend says he is not sure where it's from, the other fossils that are in the same collection where local pleistocene mammals and shark teeth. Obviously this tooth stood out to me as it is a much lighter grey than what's uasally found on the beach in that area, although not uncommon. Would just like to know if anybody can confirm camel or have another suggestion based on looks?

Hi, I received this teeth recently from another forum member and was wondering what others think. These teeth were acquired at a German Fossil Show and were apparently found near the Chinese border. I think they look kinda like Carch teeth. Let me know what you think. The first tooth is 1.1 in long and the base is .3 wide The second tooth is 1.22 long and the base is .5 wide

My best guess on this will probably be bear-dog since they were fairly common in this area. It doesn’t seem like this tooth would be at the end of the jaw like a normal canine tooth so I’m not sure where it falls into the jawline. This is the first one of these I’ve ever found so I’m kind of excited about it. Found in north central Nebraska. Miocene.

Ok, trying this again as I mistakenly hijacked @BellamyBlake excellent thread by bad tab shuffling! Sorry! anyway.... heres is what I started with. Managed to get five coats of white spray paint stripped off. As you can see this is a pretty poor cast.

Just got back from the fossil fair at Sanford Civic Center in central Florida, had a great time and brought back some great specimens. There's quite a variety here, but I have quite specific geographic/geological data for each piece, so I'm excited for some opinions. After some careful deliberation, I've decided to make separate posts for each specimen, as I want to thoroughly inspect each piece rather than half-haphazardly glance over all of them. The tag with this fossil reads exactly: "Osteoborus cyonoides Late Miocene- "Hemphillian Ogallala Group Hemphill Co. Texas 'Coffee Ranch Fauna'" Apparently Osteoborus is a synonymous taxon for Borophagus. How does the tag hold up? Thank you very much for your time, much appreciated. NOTE: ruler is in cm, this tooth is quite small.

Hello So a while back I came into the possession of a Columbian Mammoth Tooth. As you can see it's in need of a clean and maybe preserving, which I have never done and so I'd like some advice. Feel free to treat me like an idiot as I have never done this befor. P.S. I cannot upload anything to the Gallery section either.

I found this tooth while prepping some of my fossils from the American Fossil quarry near Kemmerer, WY. This is actually in the same plate as a partial stingray that I've been trying to piece back together! I didn't even know the tooth was there until today, weeks after our trip to the quarry! It is very hard, shiny, and completely 3-dimensional. Has some ridges running longitudinally from the base (visible in picture), but these fade out and the top half is very smooth. No serrations. 1cm long, 2-3mm wide. Some quick googling makes me think Crocodile Tooth - there is a picture on FossilsForSale.com that is pretty much identical, and is listed as a crocodile.

Hi TFF! I picked up a horse tooth recently that I believe is a Neohipparion eurystyle. It is 21mm x 20mm x 34mm and found somewhere in south Florida. Can anyone confirm for me? Thanks! @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis

Found at the beach Outer Banks North Carolinia. Any help would be appreciated. It appears to be a hollow tooth or portion of a jaw line of some kind. It is 3.25 inches long, 1.75 inches wide, and 1.75 inches tall

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!
