Got out early to Douglas Point on the Potomac river, unfortunately the water was high, rough, and dark. Didn’t find much but I managed the biggest and most complete ray plate I’ve ever found and a decent croc tooth with some great umber color to it!

Here I have a prett rare a nicely preserved Deinosuchus Riograndensis tooth from the Bufftown Formation, Alabama. Looking for great quality theropod teeth from the KemKem region, preferably Carcharodontosaurus. Open for other dinosaur teeth as well. Just hit me up!

Hi guys what do you think the species of this is?
-
What to think about this Maroccosuchus tooth. There should be 3% restoration. According to the description natural. From Ouled Abdoun, Morocco.
-
Real or fake? It’s a nice looking piece, so I might be interested in it still if it is a cast or a combo, but also don’t want to overpay if that’s the case.

Genuine Moroccan croc?
TyrannosaurusRex posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Howdy folks! I’m currently at Tucson, sifting through all the trinkets and different knick knacks. I found this skull that actually has me wondering if it’s real, unlike all the other croc skulls I’ve seen from Morocco on this trip. Upon touching it, it doesn’t have the plaster feel that most of the fake stuff does, but that doesn’t help rule anything out. Beautiful piece. Would be nice if it was real! Thank you!

Whilst walking on sheppey yesterday I found a good size crocodile vert in a phosphatic nodule. I'd love for it to be prepped professionally, I don't think me trying with hand tools and limited know how will end well. It is one of my first larger finds so I'd love for it to look as nice as possible. Are there any preparators or prep services you would recommend for sheppey fossils that may work with this? I understand this will not be the most aesthetic or easy prep job, as is often the case for sheppey finds, but it means alot to me. The nodule is a bit worn, but soft enough to scrape matrix with a finger nail in some areas, and hard in others.

Found in Louisiana. Doesn't look like a rock to me but I can be wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Got to the beach early this morning and had the place to myself with a great gravel line to search. Got a nice handful of teeth including at 2.23” damaged otodus, a 1.42” otodus, and a 1.14” croc tooth.

This Jurassic Croc Tooth was gifted to me awhile back. It's an unknown at this time but I'm hoping someone here with far more knowledge than myself can narrow this down. I have Sarcosuchus and Stolokrosuchus teeth in my collection and this is unlike anything I've ever seen. It actually has a ridge on both sides of the Tooth. I included a video as well... 20211027_162625.mp4

I bought this a long time ago. The seller only said that it came from Morocco and was in the Cretaceous period. I guess it might be a crocodile jaw?

Yesterday, I found what I think may be a little Pristichampsus tooth. It is from the Aquia formation on the Virginia side of the Potomac. It looks unusual for a croc tooth for being so laterally-compressed. I can't tell whether it ever had serrations at the base. They may have worn off but there are no obvious ones. Also, this tooth would match the short piece of juvenile croc jaw I found elsewhere in the Aquia last year which had a similarly-shaped (unerupted) tooth. Any thoughts?
-
Hi, would like to ask what you guys think of this tooth? Its labelled as suchomimus though Im not really the best at ID-ing them. Using Troodon’s guide, it does have some serrations visible with also similar texture present. Its also .8 inches. Its location says its from Elrhaz Formation, Gadoufaoua, Niger. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster haha. I’m still kind of new to this so sorry if this is a super obvious ID, but I was wondering what kind of tooth this is exactly. I was thinking crocodile, but it seems to have a slightly different shape so I wasn’t sure. I found it at Ginnie Sprints in High Springs on the Santa Fe River in Florida. It’s about 2 1/4” long. Thank you in advance for your help!

NJ Cretaceous stream find. Looks like a tooth of some kind, the pics don't effectively show how tapered and curved it is. Any thoughts if it is a tooth and if so, what from?
-
Hi, found this at Big Brook NJ and trying to determine if it's possible a Mosasaur or Croc tooth or stone/other. It's about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2" long. Thanks for any info!

Possible scute? Found in NJ cretaceous streams. Thoughts?

I was out at Matoaka Beach (Calvert Cliffs, Choptank Formation) a couple days ago and found a small but great quality megalodon tooth, a great-looking crocodile tooth, and then what looks to me to be a small aquatic mammal tooth. I have a couple questions about them. 1. Can anyone tell if the megalodon tooth is from a juvenile animal or just one of the posterior teeth of an adult animal? 2. What is the typical genus/species of crocodiles in this formation that you typically find teeth for? 3. Any ideas on the smaller find? I think it could be a tooth belonging to an aquatic mammal, but pretty weathered down without much enamel. Any other thoughts?

Went out to Matoaka Beach this past wednesday for a sunny but pretty chilly day of fossil hunting. While I do enjoy chatting with other fossil hunters, having the beach pretty much to myself for the day was really nice. After a couple of hours pretty close to low tide, I spotted a sizable crocodile tooth rolling in the surf. I was already stoked about that, but the best was yet to come. Maybe about 30 minutes later, I was sifting around with my shark tooth sifter, and my breath caught, spotting this small but complete and terrific looking megalodon tooth. My first one! As always (at least for me), I found both pretty close to the bigger cliff falls further down the beach, for those of you familiar with the location. While it was freezing, it was my best trip to Matoaka to date, finding two uncommon and great quality fossil teeth. I also found a small but great quality hemi and what I think might be an aquatic mammal tooth (I'll post pictures separately for some opinions in the ID forum), as well as a few Ecphora shells. Matoaka can sometimes be hit or miss as those who frequent the location know all too well. I usually find at least something small there, but these finds show you can really find some great stuff if you look carefully enough.

I made it out to Matoaka yesterday before today’s snowstorm and had a successful Maryland Miocene hunt, despite a large amount of ice obscuring the shoreline. (I won’t complain about the cold after @RuMert’s trip report yesterday. ) I found an unusually high number of cetacean vertebrae and cookies (epiphyses), several Ecphoras, shark teeth, and some other nice finds. This Carcharodon hastalis tooth was waiting for me when I arrived on the beach. And this cookie was just a few feet away. Off to a good start! Heading north, the ice got progressively thicker along the shoreline, and for significant stretches covered up all of the gravels at water’s edge. But there were still a few things deposited further up the tideline from before temperatures dropped below freezing. ...including my second cookie of the day. ...and my third—it’s incomplete but is the biggest one I’ve found to date. As the day went on, the sunlight started to melt some of the ice, revealing additional fossils, such as this nice little Ecphora—the colors on these always look so much better when wet! Here’s my favorite find of the day: a small partial ray mouth plate. On first glance, this looked very much like just a seed husk in the water—I’m glad I took a closer look. I didn't find a ton of shark teeth, but the ones I found were generally of good quality, including this Hemi hiding in the sand. This is a weird one. It’s only part of a tooth (croc? cetacean?) and may not be identifiable, but has a bump/ridge across the tooth—almost like a restart of the crown. Pathological perhaps? Or maybe just a tooth design I’m unfamiliar with. If anyone has ideas, let me know. I'll post another photo below and can take additional ones from other angles if helpful. Here's a decent-sized croc (I think) tooth. Most of the enamel has worn off except for a small section on the side.

My local fossil site is a late marine cretaceous site with abundant fossils with poor preservation. Over time I have collected several vertebral centrum that are concave on one surface and convex on the other. Is it possible to separate croc from mosasaur on these beat up pieces. What criteria can one use.

I was given this “spinosaurus tooth” a long time ago but when I looked at it again I thought it looked more like a croc tooth. It’s from Morocco and is about 4 cm. Is there anyway to assign a genus to it? I heard it’s hard to identify Moroccan teeth that far
-
Evening all. I have been looking through some purchased fossils and came across this jaw from morocco. It is certainly crocodile as stated not a dinosaurian? It looks similar to croc Jaw from where I collect being toothless and all but just wanted to make sure. Thanks Liam
