I am not a tooth person, hope someone can help identify which animals these are from. I suspect most are Bison, with some elk mixed in as well. All were found along a river eroding through glacial Lake Agassiz beach ridge. Disregard the two bison petrous bones, I am going to send those in to get dated. Thank you.

I stopped at Beason's Crossing on the Colorado River in Columbus yesterday and found this fossil while on my rock hunt. I'm leaning towards a bison tooth fossil, based on my internet search but would love any insights from such an experienced group.

Found these three things on the beach over the past couple of days From what I’ve read, the larger tooth looks like a bison tooth. Were they in this area? The shark’s tooth has a grey silver coloration. It looks like there were serrations but they are worn down. The third item may be a rock. I am curious because of the black inclusions. I would love any feedback about these items as I am fairly new at this and I always learn from this site.

Been at it for about a year now and I try to hit the creeks at least twice/month if I can help it. The "loose" pics are either newer finds that haven't made their way into the display yet, or finds that have their own display. Most of these were rescued from the Gainesville area. Some are from the Peace River & Joshua Creek, as well as Manasota, Caspersen, Venice & Fort Clinch beaches. I was also lucky enough to discover a previously unknown spot VERY close to home, while scouting one day! Dr. Hulbert (w/ UF) confirmed it is a new spot, but was reluctant to check it out as none of my initial finds were extinct species... I have since found horse teeth at that location and can't wait for water levels to go back down!!! Hoping to add a few new species to my collection on my upcoming trip to GMR & one of the Summerville creeks (not sure which one yet but would love to find my first Angi & GW)... the GW in my pics was actually found by my Grandfather in Panama in the 70s! Thanks for looking : )

So, springs a happenin and I had two opportunities to float the Kaw river, a shallow, shifting sand bar river meandering through central Kansas to western Missouri where it connects to the Missouri river. My first trip a couple weeks ago focused on the macro pleistocene fossils, a bison ulna, astralagus, phalanges, ribs, metatarsals, busted scapula, calcaneous, and various vertebral bodies , some chert flakes from early hominids, pieces of fossil wood, etc. The second trip focused more on micro fossils - I had flipped my kayak in the river on the first trip, and though cold and soaking with waders filled, I recovered everything. The second trip I prepared a little better- I needed a 5 gallon bucket, my 5 sieves, a smaller bucket, and my hiking stick. I needed to figure out how to get to the sandbars, so I tethered the sieves in an inner tube, and sealed the bucket and tethered that as well- worked perfect as there was little drag on the whole train!. I always check the CFS and never go when it is above 5,000, and almost always between 2-3,000 and this was no different, with warm weather and not one person in site! I found portions of ribs ( very common), this bison tooth, a fossil turtle scute, stalagtite, and this corner notch spear point. Most people would call it an arrowhead, but actual arrowheads are far smaller-this was hafted and likely placed on an atlatl, or throwing spear. Numerous chert flakes from working pieces, and then, after sifting several pounds of sand, I found these microfossils. The first reminds me of a cowrie shell but looks more like a piece of coral? The second, and most common fossils I found were these very small, colorful corals? and then this interesting piece i have simply no idea.....even if it is a fossil? there are three ridges on one side-thoughts? then a worn crinoid piece?.....I am assuming ...I haven't even gone through 10% of what I collected!. And I am a little in awe of the color in the sand .. all in all a successful trip, made even better by my new macroscope, camera, HDMI screen, etc .... Its just nice to get out, get fossil hunting and fishing!!!!. Any help identifying these appreciated as always!!!..... Bone 1705181703_kawrivermicrofossils.pptx

I can’t be 100 percent sure of the age of the deposit from where these Bison tooth came from. But it would almost certainly fall into a late Holocene early Pleistocene era. Continued :
