Hello, i saw this absolutely massive tooth for sale today. The finding location is unknown, but it reminds me a bit of Suchomimus, but its way to big. Maybe a sperm whale tooth ? Maybe someone can tell from the pictures which animal this tooth belongs to.

Found this tooth on my last trip in a creek super small find but still curious on what it is. Found it near the peace river. My thoughts are that its mammal maybe tapir or deer.

Tooth Identified: Rare mega-marmot, Paenemarmota molar discovered
Jaybot posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Last month I posted an Id request for 3 molars, and two were identified as Peccary. Just to be clear, I personally did not find them, as I was requesting an id on behalf of others. The third tooth was left unidentified, and I was recommended by Shellseeker to contact a museum for help. If you would like to read the original post, and view photos, here it is: I eventually contacted the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and David Krause of their Paleontology department sent me this: ''Hi 'Jaybot' –– No worries. Thanks for getting back to me and for confirmation about the scale bar. The fact that your scale bar was in centimeters helps to confirm Kristen's (cc'd here) tentative identification that your tooth is that of a Plio-Pleistocene mega-marmot, the genus name of which is Paenemarmota. The largest species is Paenamarmota barbouri (close to modern beaver size) and your specimen seems to be in that approximate size range, although precise measurement is warranted. After Kristen's tentative ID, I reached out to one of our Research Associates here, Greg McDonald, who is another expert on Plio-Pleistocene mammals, who, in fact, has recently published on Paenemarmota (see attached file). He tentatively confirmed Kristen's identification and further identified it as a right lower third molar.'' Here is the paper he attached in the email: McDonald et al. - Paenemarmota from NM - 2022.pdf This is very interesting to me, and I figure that y'all might enjoy this as well. I would never have guessed mega-marmot I'll tag everyone in the original post so they can find this: @jpc@Danielb@Balance@Shellseeker@dries85@CDiggs@Harry Pristis Have a great day!

I was rock hunting while cleaning up the garbage on the shore of Ohio river and I found this. It resembles a petrified tooth of some sort. Did I find a rock or is it indeed a tooth?

Hi All, I found this tooth sifting in one of the Cretaceous brooks in Monmouth Co., NJ. during a trip around November last year I wasn't sure what it was at first (initially thought talon possibly from something more recent), however after showing photos to a few local folk more familiar/knowledgeable with the fossils in this area (Thanks @frankh8147!), the consensus was, it's a very compressed Mosasaur tooth. Makes sense as Mosasaur teeth can be found here on occasion, and this tooth has several common features. However, I've had a couple individuals suggest theropod tooth when I initially shared it in a couple groups back in November. This was based on the compression of the root. I'm still leaning towards Mosasaur, but recently a different person brought up the theropod theory, so I thought why not throw it up here for opinion. Multiple photos, some redundant (have done a couple "photo shoots" with this one lol). If photos of any specific area would be beneficial, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your feedback/opinions! Truly appreciate the help.

Hello everyone! I went to the beach yesterday, and came back with my first mammal fossil...maybe? It certainly feels like one, but I'm very new to this and am not sure what exactly it could be. The waves were just bringing it in when I spotted it. It was found in Northeast Florida. My understanding is that fossilized horse teeth are pretty common, so that would be my best guess. But when I look up images of fossilized horse teeth, most of them have a very rectangular shape, some with a slight curve to them. Could it be a tooth from a different mammal, or maybe even something completely different? I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. Thanks!

I found this while holidaying in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. It was located in a river bed and caught my eye as it looked interesting... I have had it sitting in my car for the last few months but know would like to know if it could be a tooth, fossil, or just a cool looking river rock. It is about 1 1/2 inches long

T. rex or Nanotyrannus tooth?
Tressmeister posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I am trying to identify if this is a T. rex tooth. It's described as "natural juvenile Tyrannosaurus tooth". Location: Hell Creek Formation, Montana. Dimensions: Height: 4.3 cm Width: 3.8 cm I've read this awesome post by troodon, and I'm leaning towards T. rex ("fat" and rounded tip) - but looking forward to seeing your opinions as well. Thanks and have an awesome day ahead!

Hello everyone! I'm here seeking for help with the ID of this Mosasaurus rooted tooth. It comes from Ouled Abdoun, Morocco. The seller said that it's a pterygoid tooth. If you think it is correct, what are the distinctive features to recognize species and that it is a pterygoid tooth? Thank you so much!

Hiya guys! I'd like to ask help for ID. This tooth in matrix is from Akrabou Formation in Goulmima, Morocco, and I would like to know which polycotylid plesiosaur (maybe?) species can match this tooth🧐

Hi. I got this tooth before. All i know is "it is Pterosaur's tooth". I don't know about where it from and genus, species. Can I know the species and genus or family of the owner of the tooth just by the picture? I don't know anything about Pterosaurs.

Screening for sharks teeth and found this. Root broken about 1 cm wide. Pics show chewing surface and side. Hopefully there is enough for possible id

With the recent marktet and the introduction of Suchomimus tenerensis teeth, i was wondering what are your biggest and best Suchomimus teeth from there? I currently own a serrated and partially rooted tooth that is close to 3.5 inches. But show me all of yours!
