I recently saw these Oligocene canid teeth up for sale, found somewhere near Brooksville in Florida, but they were not identified to a genus or species level. Thanks in advance for any proposed IDs Othniel

This is an upper p4 to a dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus) from the Pleistocene of Florida. -
Hi everyone! I acquired this jaw a few months ago and IDed it as coming from a large Canid. My question is can it be identified further and is there any funny business. Specifically with the Canine which is a different color than the other teeth. I tested the bone in multiple places so I know it's authentic, I'm just wondering if the Canine was found individually and inserted. The placement of a little bit of putty in the socket with the canine doesn't help my suspicions. As for the ID I figure Grey Wolf is the most likely but I'm not to experienced with canid material and was hoping for a second opinion to rule out something like a really big coyote (or rule in something really special like Dire Wolf). The Jaw is from Siberia and measures 18.13 cm long. Let me know if there's any other pics or measurements I can provide and any insight is appreciated as always!

So I was recently looking at Canid detention cause of the dire wolf tooth I found this past weekend - and stumbled across pictures of upper Dire Wolf M2s, and thought they looked familiar. A while ago, back in August, I found this tooth that I sent to Hulbert for an ID. He said it was an Otter M1. However, while it looks quite similar to an Otter M1, it also seems to match a Dire Wolf M2, possibly even more closely. So first here’s the tooth - it’s 14.2mm long: The size fits both Enhydritherium terraenovae (Which is the Otter) M1s: And Canis dirus M2s: It looks as though the otter molar has a wider section of tooth where the protocone sits (lingual side) compared to the Dire Wolf M2, which has a longer labial side. My tooth seems to have a longer labial side, but just barely, but I’m also really not 100% sure. Anyone have any ideas, or a way to tell? @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker @digit

Hi all, I found this fossilized toe bone (measures just under 1.5 inches) that washed out of the Charleston Harbor in Charleston, South Carolina. I got one ID on it. His initial thoughts were it was from a carnivore and he narrowed that down to a Canid or a Bear. He looked at it more and determined it to be a Canid and most likely Dire Wolf. I wanted to run it past any of the mammal experts here to get an opinion. As an avid shark tooth hunter, this is outside of anything I know. I will say Ice Age fossils, outside of horse teeth, are way less common for me here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina unlike other places in Florida. Any help would be appreciated. Happy to post additional pictures and thanks in advance!

Found and preserved with clear coat. Don’t find many jaw bones where I explore. Any ideas ? A lot of bison bones found in same area. Front part of jaw is gone.

I have here fossils from Southern California. There's no other info on them. It was an impulse buy, and they weren't a tonne of money. They looked canid to me, but I'm not sure what they are. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the advice. Largest is around 1 1/2" Thank you, Bellamy

I found this jaw on the Brazos River a couple of years ago and figured that it is just from a modern dog. Just thought I would try to get a confirmation. I would hate to discount the idea that it is something more interesting like Pleistocene coyote or wolf. It is actually pretty well mineralized. The cancellous bone is hard and not spongy like other modern bones that I find. The carnassial measures 22.2mm x 11.9mm

Hi all, Today I’ve got a carnivore canine from Florida that I bought about a month ago, I bought it as dire wolf, but I find that very hard to believe. I’ve got my suspicions but I wanted too ask your opinions. It is about 1 7/16” long, but would likely be in the two inch range if complete. Included is an estimated size. @PrehistoricFlorida @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker @Bone Daddy @digit. TIA

Just got back from the fossil fair at Sanford Civic Center in central Florida, had a great time and brought back some great specimens. There's quite a variety here, but I have quite specific geographic/geological data for each piece, so I'm excited for some opinions. After some careful deliberation, I've decided to make separate posts for each specimen, as I want to thoroughly inspect each piece rather than half-haphazardly glance over all of them. The tag with this fossil reads exactly: "Osteoborus cyonoides Late Miocene- "Hemphillian Ogallala Group Hemphill Co. Texas 'Coffee Ranch Fauna'" Apparently Osteoborus is a synonymous taxon for Borophagus. How does the tag hold up? Thank you very much for your time, much appreciated. NOTE: ruler is in cm, this tooth is quite small.

Can anyone help me ID this tiny tooth found in the Peace River near Arcadia, Florida?
-
I found this tooth while looking for fossil crabs in Galveston this week. It is 5/8’’ across. Looks to be from a canid of some sort but not sure what. Looks large for a coyote.

Found this partial tooth a few years ago in some Holo-Pleistocene marine sediments on Oahu, Hawaii. There is also the chance that it is more recent, as there had been some dredging in the area, though I haven't seen any evidence at this location. Approximately half of this tooth is missing. What remains is half of the crown and one root lobe. It is 17 mm in maximum dimension. My guess is carnassial. Seal? Canid? Appreciate any and all input.

Hi all! I found this jaw section in Wyoming's White River fm. last year and was told it was likely from a dog (hesperocyon potentially). I wanted to confirm it with some of the people on the forum as there's not a lot left on it aside from part of a tooth, hopefully someone can affirm my hope that this piece actually belongs to a canid.
