I found this lying on a dirt road, in the Western Cape, South Africa. I looked at dozens of pics of mammalian teeth, and the only one I could find that looked similar, was a hippopotamus tooth.

OK, so I am from Kentucky. I don't know anything about paleontology but I love collecting geodes and other rocks. I like any that are unique. That said, I am here to show this rock that I don't think is really a rock. It feels different, kind of like a rock but not a rock, and is lighter than a rock would be. It did withstand 4 days in the tumbler though. so I am going to try to include a picture. Please let me know what you think!

I found this grapefruit sized (possibly tooth) getting washed up in the surf in Georgetown, South Carolina, USA. I have found what I believe to be Pleistocene Horse & Bison teeth on the same beach. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi TFF friends, Went to Cadzand for the first time and found this mammal tooth. Not an expert at all, looks like a carnivorous mammal tooth, maybe a molar? Thought about pinniped tooth. Does anybody know what it could be? Many thanks by advance

Hey guys, this is my first time posting. I got this fossilized tooth from Morocco the other day and what I want to know is which species it belongs to? Thanks!

Today, as I was unpacking some boxed up fossils, I noticed one of the Peripristis teeth I had collected last year looked a bit different. I then compared it to some of the photos I had taken and uploaded of it back in September when I submitted it to the FOTM contest. The tooth has definitely changed some color. When I prepped out the tooth, it had a much more vibrant white/ blue coloration to the tooth, especially toward the tip of the crown. My question is what causes this? Does oxidation change the color over time? Im not too knowledgeable with teeth, and I haven't observed this with other teeth I've collected before. September- Now- As found- before prep showing less red coloration

Hey, Over the weekend, I took a little beach vacation to Port Aransas and I found some cool stuff. From what I know, the South Jetty is known for its pleistocene era fossils so I'm hoping that's what some of these are. 1. This one is probably a long shot but it kind of reminds me of a bone. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't though. 2. Now I do know that these are ray teeth, but I was wondering if these are modern or actual fossils. 3. I'm not too sure if this is a fossil either. It reminds me of a fish spine though. 4. Originally, this was complete, but sadly, on my way back the top broke off and got lost. Like the last one, this also reminds me of a fish spine. 5. Probably the find I'm most excited about. This reminds me a lot of a mammal tooth from the pleistocene era. Now I could be 100% percent wrong and it could all be high hopes but if it is, that's pretty cool. Thanks for the help!

Hey, So a while back me and my family were working on an excavation project for a house and accidentally managed to breach the cretaceous formation. I found a bunch of cool stuff and I was hoping someone could help ID some of these finds. I'm a total new guy when it comes to this so I would appreciate the help. These finds were found in Central Texas about an hour from Austin. 1. My best guess this is some sort of bone but to what animal I do not know. 2. This is another thing that appears to be bone that I found. Again, unknown. 3. I think i actually have an idea to what this is. I was thinking a jaw piece of a fish maybe enchodus? 4. This is probably the weirdest of the bunch. I had to keep the dirt on it because it was breaking apart. This looks like some sort of bone as well. I didn't bother cleaning this one too much because it was so fragile to the point where I actually had to glue it back while prep so it might not look like much. 5. This one to me looks like a piece of a tooth of sorts. I couldn't quite get a good picture but there is little serrations on the tip. I got a bunch more stuff such as shark teeth and other smaller bones that I would like IDs on as well but for now these will do. Again, all of this stuff was found in the same place. Thanks for the help!

I just got a package today of fossils from Morocco. Most were just your common mosasaur and otodus teeth, etc. But this one just doesn't look right. Can someone please help me identify it? It looks like a rather wide Otodus tooth but has a prominent ridge running down the middle. It also has a very large root and the tooth sits on quite an angle from the root. Appreciate any help. It is 2 1/2 cm across at the root.

This tooth measures 1.65" and was found in the PeeDee formation. The genus/species of mosasaurs found in SC is contentious, so I will refrain from identifying it with any specificity. -
Found Myrtle Beach, January 2023. This poor thing is battered beyond my recognition. Could it be part of a horse tooth? Doesn't look like any I've found but not sure what else would be this big. Just a little enamel left. Kind of shaped like a dolphin tooth but way, way bigger than any I've seen. So I'm at a loss. Thank you! Paula

Hi all, I recently bought this partial theropod tooth form the Lourinha Formation (Portugal). Height ~1.1 cm. The distal serration density is 8-8.5/5 mm, the mesial serration density is 7.5-9/5 mm. Crown ornamentations are present and I think also interdenticular sulci. I looked at an old post of Troodon (see below). Are there any other known theropods from this location, besides Torvosaurus, that have a crown serration density < 9/5mm? Any thoughts?

North Carolina Megalodon
KisekiFossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Is this tooth legit ? I believe it is from North Carolina. I understand that it’s not in an amazing condition but is it real ? 0A1D9369-7446-41B6-9D01-AFEC8BDE6077.mov -
It was discovered in the Chattahoochee River in the United States. I wonder what kind of alligator it is. Could it be Deinosuchus?

I found this at Holden Beach NC the other day. I was completely intrigued with how shiny and smooth some of the surfaces were. Almost toothlike. Then on other side very much like a rock. I had posted this on the fossil page on reddit. I received alot of feedback. Lots of people weighing in saying mastodon tooth. I thought I'd try here to see if I could receive some help in gaining a definitive id. Thanks so much!!

Hello all! Just finished going through a small batch of matrix from the York River and found a some fossils that I need help IDing. 1. These ones strike me as some sort of polychaete jaws, but not sure. 2. Some denticles or teeth but they seem a lot different than the skate (Rostroraja sp.) that I've been finding (see 2.1). These do not have the cusp or base morphology that I've been observing and are quite smaller. 2.1 Rostroraja teeth Thanks so much! Miguel M
