Hi everyone I’m very new to this and recently got two fossils that I’m hoping some of you may be able to help recognize. The first is a black bone found I believe in the ocean off Florida. I was told it was a deer humerus but looking at a modern deer humerus I’m not so sure. Could be deer just different bone? The other was one is the lower jaw bones of what I was told may be from a rabbit or rodent. Looking in a fossil book I’m thinking it’s possibly a beaver based on teeth. Old but not a fossil I’m thinking since it’s not stone? Regardless of what they are I think they’re pretty great so any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

These were found in a gravel bed in central Alabama. The site contains a mishmash of Cretaceous and Pleistocene redeposited fossils. I am thinking that these are beaver, but know very little about Pleistocene material. I am hopeful that someone can provide an id.

My last post was about a Kingfisher I chased after hunting... Now I would request some IDs... One interesting item is what might be a Shrimp burrow, but I do not know very much about these except that @Harry Pristis has some that housed much larger shrimp and I seek his insights... Another very nice find is a section of a Castoroides incisor (Tusk), only my third such find at this size. I found a whole one in 2019 and identified it as C. leiseyorum but I believe the name has since changed to C. dilophidus... Any ID suggestions for this two small oddly shapes, complete ?, bones ? Last ID request for this Osteoderm... At 1st, due to shape I thought Armadillo, but now Glyptodon may be more likely.. It is an "edge" Osteoderm (left side in this photo)... Finally, just noting the unusual roots on this Equus tooth... always they are broken off the horse teeth I find... Many high quality fossils in addition to chasing the Kingfisher .. This memory will last... Thanks for any/all suggestions, insights, comments....

Hello everyone Couple of unusual finds for me from diving in the Cooper River, near Charleston, SC. This river cuts through Oligocene to modern deposits so it can be tough to ID finds. The first looks like a Castoroides sp? broken beaver tooth? The shark tooth has a U shaped root, no serrations on the blade, and has cusps that appear to have a gap between the root and blade. Looks like a cusped P. Benedeni or possibly an upper lateral sand tiger (based on looking through elasmo.com). Doesn't look like an O. Angustidens or A. Grandis to me? I've seen a few cusped Benedeni's identified on the forum and was curious if that is what I found Thanks for looking

I recently found my first unerupted beaver (Holmes capybara) incisor chunk: I hadn’t previously held one. Now that I have, there a couple unidentified things I’ve been saving that may possibly be beaver tooth. This first one - could it be the top of an incisor? Or am I way off and it actually belongs to a tapir? It doesn’t photograph well so I added lots of pics and a video - it matches up with my capybara chuck pretty closely. Piece#1: Piece#1 next to capybara chunk: IMG_6128.MOV The 2nd piece is small but someone may be able to tell what it came from piece#2: IMG_6128.MOV

So found this last time I was out hunting. Marked it down as armadillo tooth at the time due to the shape, but only just realized armadillo teeth don’t have enamel. So my next best guess is giant beaver incisor chunk? @Harry Pristis any ideas?

My friend gave me these tooth. The information that I got is they are from Pleistocene of Florida. But not ID for the species. I just wonder are these belong to beaver, giant beaver or giant capybara because all of them have fossil in Florida land. thank for reading!

Found in Ram. Looks mammalian, possibly beaver? Throwing me off because it doesn't seem modern. Any thoughts?

Nice beaver tooth found the other day

I hit a new spot in Northeast Texas. This area is a mix or cretaceous and pleistocene. The rooted mosasaur tooth and my first croc tooth made my day. Both are super rare for this area. I also found the largest Enchodus jaw I've found since I started hunting four years ago.

NJ Cretaceous streams, found a few of these over my time, just not sure what they are. Any advice? Sorry for crappy pics, if its an issue and a piece that's nto easily determinable I will take more exact close ups. Thanks all!

Found in Peace River. I think maybe beaver??? or capybara??? or could be totally wrong about everything.

Was doing some fossil collecting today in the NJ cretaceous streams, when I found this beauty. I am pretty sure that it is an incisor of a giant beaver. I was coming back when I decided to double check a gravel bank and there it was.
