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!

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

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.

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/plan

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)

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 cha

My son is a new fossil hunter (age:13) and we found this digging in a creek in SC. Please help us ID…thanks!!!

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.

A Long Overdue Trip Report (featuring a week spent in the Texas Pleistocene and Eocene)
GPayton posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
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 -

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 a

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.

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.

Help with Identification of possible Prehistoric? Camel Tooth?
Imanoldfossil posted a topic in Fossil ID
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 wa -
This tooth is huge. It dwarfs a camelops tooth that I have previously found. Brazos River, southeast Texas.

Like I said in my last post in this section of the forum about a turtle nuchal element, I've spent some time hunting the Colorado River here in southeastern Texas since my usual go-to spots on the Brazos have been completely submerged for months from all the rain we've been getting this summer. Fortunately, it's paid off with some unusual finds that, if my hunches are correct, aren't anything like what I normally find. These two teeth in particular were found within inches of each other close to the water's edge, however, I don't think they're associated based on the difference in preser

Summertime presents challenges and rewards. Usually, you are digging in deeper water, even when you can find gravel. For me, this means 4 to 5 feet. Most times, I can not employ my favorite technique: dig down to whatever is underneath the gravel and spread out from the river bottom. I am basically scraping the top 6 inches of gravel. and thus I am depending on new gravel getting washed downstream by the faster currents. My finds tend to be less diverse and limited in numbers compared to winter hunting. So, 5 osteoderms, 4 Mastodon fragments, 3 mammal earbones, 3 gar scales, a bunch

Hi guys! I think the first three are: Peccary molar Camel pre molar Coyote canine But I'm not super sure and would really appreciate a second opinion. I'm lost on the last two Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated as always! Thanks!

Inland Venice, FL tooth recovery. Pleistocene material. Found an Equus tooth approx. 15 feet from this on recently excavated, permission granted property. I think it is a camelid tooth x 2. Can't find a close match online, gallery, or textbook. The two teeth together are 27mm wide. This is the first time I have found teeth attached to a jaw fragment. ID assistance appreciated. Looking forward to numerous fossil recoveries after storm passes by my home on Tuesday. -Regards, Michael

Hi everyone! I recently got some Florida Pleistocene fossils and I'm having some trouble identifying them. I think the first is a wolf molar and the third is either a turtle or alligator claw but beyond that I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Harry Pristis Harry, I need your help on an ID and discussion of Florida Calcanea. These are great photos Harry, but I have found one that does not quite fit. It is shorter and wider than the examples. I think that the one I have found here may be Palaeolama mirifica and the camel calcaneum in your photos may be Hemiauchenia macrocephala. What do you think? As always, thanks for your expertise. Jack

Got back out to the Peace River yesterday, returning to the spot that gave me a nice bison tooth on my previous visit. It was 67* F on arrival and breezy. A bit unusual for Florida at this time of year! The water was warmer than the air temp. It was also a little deeper, more cloudy and running a little faster due to rain the previous night. I paddled up stream, portaged over a small area of rapids and was digging by 8:30am. Started off in the last dig spot but was turning up nothing but small shark teeth. It was enough to keep me encouraged but not enough to keep me from feeling the c

Any thoughts from our mammal experts on a genus/species of this camel tooth? Size is 6x5 cm Pleistocene from Iowa thanks in advance!

I found this land mammal tooth at Flag ponds on Calvert cliffs. It got me really excited when I found a mammal tooth, But I have no idea what it is. I was thinking Camel or horse because that is what it resembles. If anyone can help me get a positive ID on this that would be great!
