I found this fossil in a pallet of rocks I got for landscaping. The rock came out of the Arkansas river. When you stick your tongue to it, it sticks as a bone would. I think it looks like reptilian skin. Could anybody help me out?

The museum gift shop I work in has this labeled as "Crocodile Jaw Fossil". Is it? It's from the previous manager who was notorious for mislabeled fossils. Appears to be remounted on Moroccan material. Please help!

From Morocco World News. https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2022/02/347019/fbi-art-crime-team-returns-fossilized-crocodile-skull-to-morocco So be careful. Buying fakes is fine, but buying a real one might get you into hot water.

I bought this tooth together with two other teeth as ''Smilodon teeth'' last year. Thanks to this forum, I found out that the other two teeth are actually Enchodus teeth! I think this one might be something else. Someone on Reddit told me that it could be a crocodile tooth, but I have little to no knowledge about crocodile teeth. I understand if it's difficult to identify, because the tooth isn't complete. It's 2cm and the seller couldn't give me information about where this was found. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi all. I know this is not a great tooth by any standard. But to be honest, I do like how it shows its age. Also, it emphasizes how well preserved my other teeth are. And it is nice and chunky! The tooth has lost some of the features to make an accurate ID. Still, it looks Spinosaurid to me. Could it possibly be something else? It is 7 cm long and from the Kem Kem beds. Thanks!

I went out hunting the Peace River yesterday. Spent a couple of hours with so-so results and because I was close to a favored location that has always been more Pliocene (lots of marine), than Pleistocene (few/no mammal fossils), I decided to spend 3 hours there. It's primary attraction are small pretty shark teeth. On the right are morning finds and on the left, one of my favorite hunting locations. On the left are dugong rib fossils, very dense, and not the typical Peace River black color. So , Let walk thru some of the many finds. I love the tiny upper Hemi teeth.. and especially when they are yellow !!!.. a relatively rare color, especially in the river. Next up are a Crocodile tooth (?) and something that looks like a claw, but is more likely a broken lower hemi. Here is a better photo of the croc tooth sitting on a piece of dugong rib. . and a better photo of the broken lower Hemi.... I have found fragments of megs here and one whole Meg, ray teeth, pufferfish mouthplate, sea urchin spines, Hemis, a few Makos, Galeocerdo cuvier tigers, but not aduncus or contortus. This spot has a very narrow range of fauna fossils. Always interesting , always relaxing.

I found these crocodile teeth from Khouribga, Morocco, Phosphate Beds. But not any info about the age. The Khouribga phosphates is Upper Cretaceous-Eocene. Anyone that knows the possible age? There are some crocodile teeth & a jaw. Are they also real without any restoration? I thought about buying them. Or should I pass?

Hello I am considering getting this set of Deinosuchus teeth. 37 teeth. They are from Chattahoochee River region, Bullock County, Alabama, USA. With the formation given as Ripley Now, looking online, it doesn't show Deinosuchus as being from there. But I do see teeth sold elsewhere as Deinosuchus from the Chattahoochee River. They were also apparently found in a dive along with David. R Scwimmer, who wrote a book on Deinosuchus. The largest is 27mm the smallest 10mm. If someone can take a look, that would be great. fossil_deinosuchus_crocodile_t_1594656235_74263265_progressive.jfif

Hello again! I found this bone in the Boulonnais, North of France, late Jurrassic sediments. I think it's a crocodile scute (like steneosaurus) but with some doubt because it looks a bit different. It's also slightly curved and about 3 x 3 cm. Regards, Niels

Hi all, I'm quite certain this is suchomimus, but just to be sure, what say people here? The base has the elongated shape of suchomimus, and it has carinae on both sides as far as I can tell @Troodon

Spinosaurus tooth?
BirdsAreDinosaurs posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and recently acquired what I think is my first dinosaur tooth. I am pretty excited and surprised that Spinosaurus teeth are so common and pretty affordable. What do you think of this tooth? Did it belong to a Spinosaurus? I bought this specimen because of the well preserved enamel and the nice colour. It was glued together after excavation, but that is okay by me. I believe i can discern some vestigial serration. Thanks for your insights!

Good evening, these vertebrae are announced as spinosaurid, but it's posible to know just with the centrum preserved? At Kem Kem beds there are a lot of other reptiles so, it's posible to know with incomplete material like these?

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.

Anyone familiar enough with the Crocodylomorphs from the Hell Creek Formation to be able to help in determining a probable genus or species? I purchased this specimen and have been unable to find images or research papers with similar examples.

This past summer I found this bone at the Miocene Pungo River dig pits of the Aurora Fossil Museum. The bone matches the shape of the end of a crocodile pubis from what I have seen online. Crocodile material isn’t common from there, but I know it’s occasionally found. Does this look like a correct ID? The bone doesn’t match anything cetacean that I’m aware of, too thin to be a limb bone or rib head, not the right shape for a phalanges or vertebral process as far as I can tell.

Hey guys, I'm back from my trip out at sea. It was a very insightful and unforgettable experience. Learned a lot about the world around, and myself as well. anyways, enough about that, I went out to Douglas point yesterday and although it was a very short day, it was also extremely productive. Which included some pristine sand tigers, a perfect 1 1/2 inch croc, and a killer Otodus. Here’s everything good I found: (Idk why it goes in sideways but there’s the total of everything found). Front (or backside technically) of the best teeth found. Back (or technically front) side of the best teeth found. Anyways, that’s everything I found. Thanks for reading guys!
