  1. I found this on the beach in Georgetown,South Carolina, USA. The beach is in the Waccamaw Geological formation & same area l found other Pleistocene megafauna ( mammoth & horse ). This tooth has smooth waved enamel sides, rough jagged crown & root with 4 holes. Any help with identifying it is welcome & appreciated.

    Mammal tooth ID

    I was going through my collection today, as I got some nice display stands that I was beginning to put to use, and remembered this fossil, found around Steinhatchee, Florida, I hope I spelled that right. I was thinking Camelid, but normally those seem to be section into 4, not 2, thoughts? (About 3/4 of an inch, almost 2cm)
  3. Harry Scott

    Florida Bison or Camel teeth

    My wife found this on the beach near Casa Caselles in Key West 12/23/23. Your thoughts. Thank you.
  4. We found this nice tooth on the Kaw River (Kansas) this past summer. Permian glacial material has been found there. When we found it, we assumed that it was from a camel. I’m not so sure anymore, as it has a stylid, and resembles a white tailed deer tooth we found, only much larger. Any ideas?
  5. I just finished the initial prep of a cute little Peobrotherium camel skull we found this summer in the panhandle of Nebraska. It was found upside down with the bottom of the mandibles exposed and in pretty crumbly matrix. It was pretty fractured. It's a beautiful skull and I will do some final restoration at a later date. Thought I'd share with the group. In-progress photos:
  6. Hi all! Went to the Peace river for the 1st time on Thanksgiving break, had a blast, am going to write a trip report soon. But these 4 bones are stumping me as to what they could be. Everything found was in the lower Peace. The finds are numbered for convenience. Thanks in advance for any help and guidance! 1) in my research, this looks like a camel unciform bone, but I wanted to ask around to make sure 2) my gut tells me this could be bison something, but I have no idea what part of the bison skeleton it is, if there's some anatomy resources available let me know. 3) this bone was dense, it's probably unlikely to ID, but I wanted to rule out Mammoth or not. 4) lastly what is probably yet another horse/bison frag. This one was annoying to figure out.

    Cutting my teeth on teeth identification?

    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Thanks to all of you who try to help the less educated such as myself (at least in this field of study). I occasionally come across the remnants of back-office dumpsters from ancient dental offices where mammals would go to get teeth pulled. Ok, joking.. but seriously, I’ve reviewed some helpful threads on tooth identification but I’m not confident in what I see. 1) do my photos give enough of a view to say with confidence what they belonged to? 2) can you help me identify these? Let’s count 1-6 starting with upper left. Don’t worry about identifying the hand, that’s mine. I think #1 upper left is camel. I don’t know about #2. I think #3 (upper right) is bison? Thanks in advance! These are all from Johnson County and Tarrant County TX. Mostly Tarrant County.

    Camelid tooth

    From the album: Texas Pleistocene

    Camelid tooth Pleistocene Texas Pleistocene fauna is a weakness of mine - I don't know which camelid this is, so if anyone has suggestions for what camels were found in the Texas Pleistocene, please let me know!
  10. Jazmin Ortiz

    Camel or horse?

    I am doing a work on identification, but these three samples have been very complicated for me, they are from San Luis Potosí, Mexico. I have suspicions that the first is a camel incisor, the second a very worn horse molar, I could not tell if conversidens or mexicanus, and in the last one I am definitely lost, I hope you can help me!

    Camel or horse?

    Found this in a creek out hunting today. I learn towards horse but my friend swears camel. What do you folks think?
  12. Sarah Berghorst

    Camel Canine?

    I am looking for help identifying this fossil I found in the Peace River in Florida. Our guide thought it might be an alligator claw core (he was uncertain) but the shape or curve of it just isn’t right. The best I could find online is a camel canine. There is enamel and it looks like the tip broke off. What I am assuming is the root is very “wavy” and textured.

    ID help, please and thanks!

    Almost everything was found yesterday at Peace River (FL). I’m still new to fossil hunting. I do my research but still need help - there’s a lot to learn. TIA for anyone who takes the time to let me know what I’ve got here! In order, I think I have: -Deer ankle bone -Scapula? Turtle shell? -Glyptodont scutes -Horse/camel incisor? -Manatee/dugong tooth? -Shells (I know nothing about these but love these two-wanted to share) -Gator/plant? Pattern is only on one side -Deer tooth? -Camel/deer tooth? -Stumped - too many teeth look too similar…tapir? -Recent shark tooth finds (contents of the final picture were found on land in Sarasota county and not at the river) I think that’s more than enough for now I have quite a few horse/bison/camel/llama/etc teeth that I also need help differentiating, but I want to try a little more before asking for help. Any good charts/info that help point out differences in these would be greatly appreciated! Adding some pics of recent shark tooth finds just for the fun of sharing. If you see anything special (rare/pathos/etc) that I need to know about, please let me know! Again, thanks in advance for all the help! Any ideas appreciated - if better pics/measurements are needed, just ask

    Bison/cow tooth?

    Hello, I was fossil hunting a creek in north Florida yesterday and along with finding what I believe is our first meg out of this creek, we found a strange tooth that I believe is bovine or camel. (This is in inches, I couldn't find my tape measure- 1 inch~2 1/2 cm)
  15. GPayton

    Came/Bison Scaphoid?

    I found this small bone on my most recent trip to the North Sulphur River. I know the river produces Pleistocene material from the river terrace deposits every once in a while and this bone looks completely different from all of the Cretaceous vertebrate fossils I've seen in the river before (mosasaur, turtle, fish, etc.) so I assumed it must be Pleistocene in age. In fact, it looks exactly like the heavily-mineralized Pleistocene bones I find near Houston. The dark brown color, how smooth and heavy it is, and the high-pitched clink noise it makes when it's tapped by anything metal are all characteristics I'm used to seeing. I could tell right away that it was some sort of wrist or ankle bone, but because I've only handled astraguli and calcanea before I didn't know exactly which one. An hour of searching here on the forum allowed me to narrow it down to a scaphoid but beyond that I couldn't get any more precise. The only pictures I found that seemed to match the closest were scaphoids from bison and camels. Can anyone here confirm an ID one way or the other? I'll tag @Harry Pristis, @Shellseeker, @garyc, @fossilus to get some better-trained eyes on this. Thanks!

    Camel tooth?

    My son is a new fossil hunter (age:13) and we found this digging in a creek in SC. Please help us ID…thanks!!!
  17. Over the weekend, me and my friend went to a creek in North Florida and found the Fossils below (main picture to fire wolf) the next day I went by myself to a land site near me and found most of the small teeth and the megalodon. This was our first time at this creek, and it was a huge success, with the most Miocene age fossils of any creek I have been to. We got camel, round- tailed muskrat ( thank you to those who helped identify that) horse, gator, and best of all, my first dire wolf tooth.
  18. So it's slightly embarrassing to admit this, but after two years on the forum this is (finally) my first trip report. I've been inspired by the amazing trip write-ups that @Jared C has been giving all of us every week and figured that now that I've finally had a week of finds worth writing about this year that it was my turn to try my hand at the same. I'm 21 and still in the thick of college. I'm attending Baylor University as a Geology major right now after having switched majors at the end of my freshman year. I've always had a love for fossils and prehistoric life and for many, many years I would tell everyone I knew that I was going to grow up and be a paleontologist. Eventually that passion faded away, only to come roaring back during the early months of the COVID pandemic when I stumbled across my first mammoth bone while searching for (and failing to find) arrowheads along a section of river close to my home in southwest Houston. During a brief stint in Boy Scouts I had heard stories about mammoth bones being found in the area, but I never really believed them. I had always assumed that the only fossils to be found in Texas were in the Cretaceous and Permian rocks to the north and the west, and since I was a kid who was still young enough to rely on their parents to travel anywhere there was a fat chance of me ever getting to find any of them. But suddenly, with this one unidentifiable chunk of mammoth bone in my hand, I realized there was an entire world of fossils I had never known about not more than a 15 minute drive from my front porch. Needless to say, I was excited, and the next several months were a whirlwind of plotting locations on Google Maps, reading Hulbert's book on Florida fossil vertebrates cover to cover, scouring the USGS Pocket Texas geology map, and enduring more sunburns and mosquito bites than I ever thought possible for a single human being. The kid that was obsessed with dinosaurs had finally come back, and it wasn't long before I decided that this was what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. So, with that overly-long explanation out of the way, let me tell you about last week! I've been swamped with work for the two math courses I've been taking for transfer credit all summer, but last week I was finally able to find some time to go out fossil hunting again. Anyone who's in Texas right now knows just how bad the heat has been lately. Fortunately for me that also meant my favorite river in the world was low enough to have hopefully exposed some more Pleistocene goodies. I returned to a spot close by that I'd been to before to try my luck and see if there was anything to be found. Now, while I didn't find anything that made my jaw hit the floor as I have in the past, I came away very satisfied and with a small collection of fossils that do a great job of representing the diversity of the vertebrate fauna in this part of Texas during the late Pleistocene. A was the find of the day, and a first for me: a camelid toe bone (likely Hemiauchenia or Palaeolama based on a post in Fossil ID by @garyc several years ago). I picked it up on my way back up the riverbank and although it's not as heavily mineralized as I'd like, beggars can't be choosers! It was definitely the trip maker in my opinion. B and C are pieces of turtle plastron, the former from the hard-shelled variety and the latter from the soft-shelled one. If you don't know what the difference is, I recommend looking up a picture of a soft-shelled turtle - they look pretty funny. Identifying hard-shelled turtle shell fragments to species, or even genus, is near impossible unless the piece in question is diagnostic, like a nuchal section. Soft-shelled turtles are a little easier, since as far as I know Apalone ferox was the only one of its kind swimming around here during the late Pleistocene. Turtle shell fragments are easily the most common fossil I come across, possibly tied with horse fossils. I don't know for sure, but my theory is that it's an issue of preservation bias. Turtles already live in water and muddy areas, so when they die there's a greater chance that their bodies will end up in the type of environment that's conducive to creating fossils. They're also encased in a giant bony shell, meaning they simply have more "bones" than your average animal. Both of these factors taken together equals a LOT of fossilized turtle shell fragments scattered across the river. D is an osteoderm from the giant armadillo, Holmesina septentrionalis. They're one of my favorite Pleistocene animals. Although this is only my fifth osteoderm, they are much, much more common finds than those belonging to their much larger and more famous cousin the glyptothere, of which I only have one (and it's a hesitant ID at best). Just means I need to make more trips! E is a neural section from a turtle shell, the part that denotes where the spine is. F isn't anything special, just a piece of petrified wood that I found interesting because of the visible knot in the bark. G is a fragment of a mastodon tooth. It's not the best one I've ever found, but it still made me incredibly excited when I first saw it half-buried in the ground and hoped that I was only seeing a small portion of a much larger tooth, which I've still yet to find and is near the top of my bucket list. Here's an in-situ photo I took: H are two fragments of the incredibly common horse teeth that no trip to the river is complete without. And last but not least, I is a fragment of mammoth (or mastodon) tusk, recognizable by the criss-crossed Schreger lines along the interior cross section that unfortunately isn't visible in the photo. Several days later I would return to the river, this time in a different spot. After spending an hour or two with nothing to show for it, I began the long walk back to my car a little disappointed. On my way, however, I spotted an algae-covered rock that seemed much larger than the rocks that normally make up the gravel that covers the river's many sandbars. Acting on a hunch I dug it out and flipped it over. And just like that, the day was saved! Sitting in my hand was a mammoth carpal bone, the first complete mammoth bone I've ever come across. To make the situation even sweeter, the sandbar that's visible at the top of the picture below is the exact spot where I first found that one chunk of unidentifiable mammoth bone two years ago. If I had found this bone when I had first started fossil hunting I would have had no idea what I was looking at. But having read many of the Peace River posts on here religiously in the past I had a pretty good idea of what I had found as I carried the surprisingly heavy bone back to my car. Once I got home, a quick search through the University of Michigan's online database of 3D fossil models proved me right: The bone was barely mineralized, if at all, so it was quite crumbly in spots, especially along the section that had been exposed above the ground when I first found it. It took several days sitting in the sun in my backyard for the water that had soaked through every pore at its center to finally dry up and leave it a whole pound lighter. I'll have to get around to consolidating it sometime soon when I have the time. As there's a pretty good chance I might get a job working at the famous Waco Mammoth Site this fall when I head back to school, I'll have plenty of expert advice on how to go about doing it the right way! Near the end of the week I traveled back to Waco with my roommate to move everything out of our old apartment and into the new one that we'll be staying in this upcoming school year. But on the way I couldn't resist the temptation to stop at one of my favorite fossil spots in the state, the legendary Whiskey Bridge just west of College Station. I've been to Whiskey Bridge several times before in the past (once with the Dallas Paleontological Society), and although I am fond of the plentiful and exquisitely preserved gastropods that the site is so well-known for, I'm a vertebrate lover first and foremost. As such, as soon as I learned that shark teeth could be found amongst the Eocene-aged sediments under the bridge, it became my all-consuming quest to find one every time I visit. I've found several in the past, including a very nice tiger shark tooth. This time I didn't have much luck when it came to shark teeth in particular, but did have more success finding fish material than I've ever had in the past. First was an incredibly large (and incredibly sharp!) pectoral fin spine from some species of fish that I'll likely never know. I found it just sitting on top of a pile of loose dirt and at first assumed it was part of a twig. I kept it just to check later, and it seems to match some pictures I was able to find online, not to mention the shiny black coloring being the most noticeable feature of vertebrate material at the site. The fish spine was followed up by a half hour of diligently scouring the lines of shell hash in the upper reaches of the exposed river bank for shark teeth. According to a graduate student I met on the DPS field trip who had written a paper on another Eocene formation in Texas and had done more reading on the one exposed at Whiskey Bridge than I had, the shell hash is the best location for finding teeth as it represents periodic storm deposits. I didn't find any shark teeth this time, but did come across what I think is probably a barracuda/mackerel tooth (Scomberomorus) and a fragment of one from a stingray (Myliobatis). Here's some pictures of them in-situ, easily recognizable because of their glossy black preservation: Finally, as the sun was beginning to set, I saw something that made my heart stop. What looked like the exposed base of a crocodile tooth was sticking out of the side of one of the steep riverbank cliff faces. I didn't even know crocodile material could be found at the site, so I immediately took as many pictures as I could in case it was a significant find and began extracting it. Unfortunately, the surrounding sediment was more tough than I was expecting, and it came out in pieces just as the sun started to disappear over the horizon. With the "tooth" now in the palm of my hand, I realized that I was completely wrong about what I had been looking at - there was no point, or cutting edge, or any other features present that would tell me what I had was a tooth. Annoyed and more than a little disappointed, I trudged back up the hillside under the bridge with aching hands. It wasn't until I got to Waco that I did some research and found out that although I hadn't found something as exciting as a crocodile tooth, I had still found something that I had never seen at the bridge before. Apparently, there's a species of ray-finned fish from the Eocene that's still pretty poorly understood known as Cylindricanthus. Fossils like the one I had found are hypothesized to have been part of the rostrum at the end of the snout, somewhat similar to modern-day swordfish. Here's a post I found on here from ten years ago about a complete rostrum that someone also excavated from Whiskey Bridge: So all-in-all, a pretty successful trip! Other finds I didn't mention included a rare-ish species of gastropod that I had never seen before (Gegania antiquata), a nice example of a cone snail (Conus sauridens), some fish ear bones, what I think is a shrimp trace burrow, and what is probably a very, very small, and very, very worn-down shark tooth. Here's a photo of everything laid out together: Before I wrap up this very long trip report, I wanted to thank everyone here on the forum. You have all been so helpful and welcoming over these past two years and the advice and information I've been given has been invaluable. If I had never found this place I don't know if I would have ever decided that fossils were so important to me that I wanted to make a career out of studying and learning about them. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. - Graham

    Peace River May 16

    I also had a good day on the Peace River, FL this past Monday. Topped off by a chance meeting with @Shellseeker Jack. I wanted to share the best of what I found that day. I was lucky to find a gravel patch while prospecting in an area I haven't hunted before. The results (minus the usual various shark teeth)- Right side of photos: 2 - Glyptodont osteoderms 2 - partial Armadillo scutes Left side: 1 - partial limb bone (deer?) 2 - Turtle leg spurs Left center: Partial deer antler Camel teeth Tilly Bone Right center: Mammoth tooth root Mastodon tooth crown Definitely enough to warrant a return visit next week (if the weather holds!)

    Is this Poebrotherium or Oreodont jaw?

    Hi folks! I just get this mandible from a guy sold as unpreped. He found it in South Dakota. Because it still cover in matrix as some section so I would like to as you if this is a Poebrotherium camel jaw or it belong to Oreodont? I can’t identify between both of these species because the tooth look very similar of herbivore animal. Thank you.
  22. I found these on the beach in South Carolina while searching for shark teeth. Im confident in the ancient horse tooth, but the other two, I’m not sure… any help would be greatly appreciated! I was told the tooth with the roots could be camel and also told the other piece would likely be a broken piece of a mammoth molar.
  23. Help with Identification of possible Prehistoric? Camel Tooth? Thank you for looking at this recent find. I found this on the banks of SE Ohio River yesterday. I used Google Lens to possibly identify this as an prehistoric camel tooth. Interestingly enough, this was found in an old trash dump? on the river with other antique broken pottery pieces. The river has widened over the years and now may envelop old dumps as the soil has eroded. Near the tooth, I found an old Indian Trade Pipe. I may be totally wrong, but I think this is a camel tooth. Many years ago, in the 1940's, I was told there was a circus here in this town and there were camels. I also just did a bit of research and found that John Robinson's Circus was at Middleport, Ohio in 1878 in the days when it traveled by boat. So, many possibilities! Thank you for looking!
