Show Us Your Wide Boys! A Thread For The Widest And Fattest Megalodon Teeth
Kurufossils posted a topic in Member Collections
Heres a fun thread for those to show off their widest and fattest looking megalodon teeth fossils in thier collections. I'll set the tone with the widest fat boy in my collection, I don't have digital calipers but it measure roughly 5.4 inches wide by 6.1 inches long. When I close my hand together it looks even more monstrous. Share yours and join the wide boyclub Got the idea while thinking about what the widest megalodon tooth ever found measures, if anyone does know do share in this thread! -
This has come up for sale on my local auction site..... The listing says it is a large fossilized bone/ tooth, 70cm long and there is no information in the description. Obviously, this is not a tooth! It looks like modern bone, not fossil Someone has to know what animal this is from, the shape is so distinctive! I feel like I should know just because of how distinctive it is but I can't place it.... so, experts - help! Tape measure is in cm

My new Spinosaurus Aegypticus tooth just came in. And it's a big one! Over 4'5 inches / 11.5 Centimeters long. Was wondering if you can see any doings with it? So far i can't.

I was collecting isorthoceras cephalopods at Graf Iowa (Elgin Member of the Maquoketa Formation, upper Ordovician). I found one partial specimen that in cross-section is about 8-9 times larger than any other I’ve found there. This first pic is from the field. (Don’t worry, the next photos have a scale cube in them!) The large specimen is about 8.9 cm by 5 cm. You can see cross sections of the usual-size isorthoceras in the rock (filled and infilled), and they’re closer to 1 cm across. Unfortunately, the specimen is fairly fragile. I’ve already had t

I just obtained a new fossil and tried to take it out of the rock, but in the process I discovered that the root of one of this tooth was artificially shaped with a chalk-like material. Moreover, it seems to be squeezed by the stratum, causing the entire crown to be rotated to the left, so I decided not to continue cleaning to avoid the entire specimen from breaking. (The longest side of this tooth is three inches long.)

We have many wonderful threads that let members show off some of their fossils. Threads like “Fossil du Jour” and your “Latest Mail Box Score.” In that same spirit, I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to share examples of some of their BIG fossils. It could be as simple as the largest fossil in your collection, or the largest example you have of a certain type of fossil. Just as long as you would in some way consider them to be on the large side. I’ll go first. This is the largest fossil in my collection. It's a piece of petrified wood. Its roughly 15in long x 14i

Hi, We hired a mansion that was abandoned for several years and strolling through the gardens I saw what I thought was a small concrete chair, hidden under leafs and bushes. I did not give it a second thought until the next day when I looked at it again and recognized it as a vertebrae, a big vertebrae. Upon giving it a closer look I saw that it was not concrete but more likely bone. And then I figured it could be a dinosaur bone, hence coming here and asking your opinion. Full width is about 60 cm, see pictures below. Thanks in advance. Best, Pi

Hi, i was hiking in Israel some weeks ago in the dessert and stumbled upon this fossil tooth, anyone know from what animal or species this might be from? Height 4cm width 2cm As you can see it is not sharp at all, very smooth with lines from top to bottom Thanks

Hey guys, I saw this listed on online, the seller dosent really know what this is and I don’t have a clue either. Do you guys have any idea what this might be?

Dear all, I would like to submit three artifacts from the Big Brook site that some of you know so well. 1) The first is most likely a concretion. however, on one side, there is a regular cut with a circular end section. I have no particular idea. 2) The second artifact could be a theropod tooth, with a elliptical cross-section. In this hypothesis we distinguish quite clearly the crown base at the cervix, with the dentine layer. On another image, we can see worn denticles in (presumed) mesial view, but the outermost enamel layer is very corroded and the dental layer is miss

Hi I’m wondering what the Antorbital fossa is for in dinosaurs. I heard it could be part of muscle attachments or nasal passages. If so if a dinosaur has a big Antorbital fossa does it mean they have better nose or stronger jaw muscles. Thank you!!

Good day, I'd like some help to identify this fossil fish. It is nearly 11 inches long. From what I've searched it looks similar to Neoproscinetes, but I'm no master of fossil fishes. I'd like to know its species name and if it is indeed a real fossil fish.

The long object = crab claw? hoping for a unique tooth or something Reptile scale? And gastropod with interesting design?

Hello! Back logged on things I cant ID so let's start with this beast of a fragmented tooth.(about a inch and a half) Thank you all .

I grabbed this shell today because I thought it was absolutely beautiful. Plus I heard these shells are getting rarer and rarer. I know it's not a fossil, but would anyone be able to possibly give me an ID? The length is 8 inches.

Went to brownies today, miocene, and I’ll have the haul until here later this week but I would like to know what species this sand tiger is. It’s purty big for a sand tiger, like an inch and a half. It’s got two cusps on either side, they seem to curve inward. I saved up for Kent’s book on fossil identification so I’ll have that by the 28th.
