This is being sold as a noasaurus leili tooth from Patagonia. How does it look? It measures 1inch and is it ID’ed correctly? On a scale of common to almost impossible to acquire where is it? Thanks in advance.

Hola folks, Just picked up an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny tooth from the gift that keeps on giving; Morocco. It was sold as a juvenile Spino tooth, but I'm thinking there's a better chance of it being croc? I liked the look of it, so bought it anyway. Location given: "Hamada gu Guir, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco." Not sure if you can pick out from my crummy photos, but there are definitely denticles present on the carinae, running all the way from tip to base of the crown. There is also fluting present on both the labial & lingual sides of the tooth, running the full crown length. The cross-section appears to be roughly oval, though could be considered circular (it's hard to tell with the shape of the base). Denticles most noticeable in this one: Profile of denticles can also be (kind of) clearly seen on the right side of the tooth here: And a couple more shots: With the lingual curve and denticles, I'd assume croc from this part of the world, though I've read that labial/lingual curves can be found on Baryonychidae....if only haha! Any input on narrowing down exactly what it might be would be much appreciated.

Hi I have built a case on all the Rocks I have shown and tried to send to you.and I get shut down at every corner.I am looking for the open-minded out-of-the-box thinker these are real fossils I have found and truly believe they are. This is all connected to the stone flaky all the lines run into the hard part of the gray area lines to all different sides of this decaying Rock like tooth

Hi new to the forum I found this many years ago walking along a beach not sure what it is or best ways to maybe extract them as there is a few of what you see throughout the rock.

Hi, I was wondering if this tooth could be from a Pliosaur. It is from the Goulmima area in Morocco. It is 8.8cm in length and some of the striations remain near the tip (the size is what makes me think Pliosaur). Thanks.

Question about Mosasaur tooth
Savvas posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, my name is Savvas and I am new to this forum, I am a collector of ancient coins for years and just yesterday I got my first fossil (trilobite) and I am really excited! My question is about a tooth of a mosasaur I found in the same store in my town that I got the one that bought yesterday, a good store for science gadgets and things like that, that sells some fossils but it is not their speciality. I have read some things about the teeth and know that the crowns are most commonly original, butmany times the matrix and the root is faked for artistic purposes, so the one at the store is a tooth not very big nor small, inside a matrix and has a root too, the root is small, the price is 40 euros. So I understand that without seeing it you can'treally tell, but can you please help me understand what are the signs of a fake one and of a real one so when I will go there to buy it to know what I see. I would really appreciate your help on this matter. Thank you kindly for all your help! -

Hello, I found this tooth of a marine reptile 2 years ago in the Bathonian ( jurassic ) deposits of Thin le moutier in France. Is there any one who could give me an idea of what kind of reptile it might be? the tooth is 3mm long Thx, Natalie

hi all, Here are three teeth from the Pliocene Yorktown at LC. When found, I was told "pilot whale", which hasn't helped much. I do believe that they are from a tooth cetacean though. Could anyone hazard a guess as to genus/species? thanks in advance

hello, many of you will have seen recent posts about this tooth. Alarmingly rather than help me to improve my services to you the great fossil community by helping me to rectifying my mistakes by supplying me with a more professional opinion of what this tooth might be sadly it was seen to be more of an exercise in ridicule at my expense. Therefore here is a chance for those peoples to redeem themselves with an apology by helping to correctly identify this tooth! Background... This tooth was bought as part of a private collection at the recent Tucson show. Sadly alot of the dinosaur material that I purchased had no to little identification apart from the formation with which it came and/or some vague location details. When I bought the collection I was privileged that @troodon was there to look over some of my purchases for me which I am very grateful for. This tooth was in this collection however the label that accompanied called it an Chirostenotes tooth from the two medicine, Teton county (with I presume is in Wyoming state). This was all the information I have. Hence why I stupidly did not question the validity of the identification and do more home work on the tooth before posting for sale.. my bad. However I recognised the tooth as being rather different to all the other teeth I had seen from my travels from the two medicine formation. Assessment so far... It clearly (now that I know) not a chirostenotes tooth nor an oviraptor tooth. (would have been pretty rare if so right! haha) to me it does not look tyrannosaurid. to me it is HUGE (measuring 2 cm long) for the usual raptorial teeth you see from this location. but clearly it is a theropod tooth. For me there is nothing to let me not think that it is from the two medicine formation. the collection came from a very reputable source and I was told that many of the teeth were found by the original owner. Conclusion... SO WHAT IS IT? Thank you for your time in looking at this post and for maturely assessing this tooth for me. Dealers can only improve their services if their knowledge base expands and their knowledge base improves to do this they need guidance from time to time. best wishes and look forward to your debate. fossils-uk

On Tuesday I was at a site near Sara’s, Florida collecting shark teeth and dugong bones. I met a nice older woman at the site who collects at 3 different counties around Sarasota. When I was leaving, I gave her some Mazon Creek fossils and a few Mississippian fossils that I collected from Anna and Vienna, Illinois. As I was about to drive away, she called me over and gave me this whale tooth that she stated was collected at a different site. I am just looking for and other info on this tooth. @Boesse can you help? Thanks

Hello fossil enthusiasts! To identify this fossil, I'd love some help. My uncle had it, and now that he is passed, it was sent to me. He did not leave much information on it, and now we are all curious. He had a note with it that said "W. US LATE CRETACEOUS, DROM / TYRAN". I did a lot of research. It does look like the tooth belonged to one of those animals, but I am having difficulty figuring out which one. The lack of formation does not help. Could anyone here be able to weigh in on whether it came from a dromaeosaur or tyrannosaur? Or maybe some other dinosaur? His and my guess could be way off. I've read a lot of @Troodon posts so I could figure it out (without success), and would love for him or her to weigh in. Of course, all are welcome. Thank you!

Hey everyone, Wondering if this looks to be a Majungasauris tooth. Seller says it came from th Maevarano formation in Madagascar. Measures at 1 1/8 inch long

Hi all! I found this in the North Sulphur River this weekend in a large gravel bar. My first thought was that it was a Globidens Mosasaur tooth, but I’m just not sure. It’s approximately a half an inch diameter, has striations on the underside, and a hole in the center. The top side has been flattened, which if a tooth I am assuming is the chewing surface? Completely fossilized. No enamel. I would appreciate any input! Thank you so much!

Hey guys, I have purchased another small theropod tooth from Hell Creek fm. This one is a little bit bigger (0,8cm) and seems to be more slender than the tooth identified by @Troodon as Dakotararaptor. It will be harder to ID since the serrations on the mesial edge are present, just quite worn. Mesial edge count will be tough and rough... The serration count midline for the distal edge is 6/mm. Thanks for any input and don’t hesitate to ask me fore more pictures. Kind rgards .

Hello again forum! I found this tooth eroded out of a cliff on the coast in Santa Barbara county, California. I'm fairly certain it is an upper m3 molar of an Equus but have been unable to determine the species or age of it. There is some matrix cemented onto the tooth face that I tried picking off but it is quite hard and wasn't being cooperative so I stopped to not damage it. Anyone have any leads that could point to it being either a Pleistocene or just older modern tooth? Or tips on how to remove the tooth face matrix without giving it a root canal? Thanks very much!

Found at a beach in Florida today. I'm pretty good with teeth. Have never found one this thick and fat. Even the side is flat with enamel. Any clue? Thanks!
