Hi! This compressed, incomplete tooth is 2,9 cm long and has fluting and tiny serrations of the right dimensions for a Suchomimus tooth. Yet it does look quite different than some other Suchomimus teeth I have seen online, so I would love to hear your opinions. The location given is Gadoufaoua, Tenere Desert, Niger, Elrhaz Fm. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I bought a batch of fossils from Tegana Formation, in Morocco. Among the fossils there are those reptile teeth: The seller assures that the five in the top row are Spinosaurus aegyptiacus (or at least Spinosaurid species). The three in the bottom row are reported as Elosuchus cherifiensis. The seller is reliable, however I noticed that the teeth are all very similar to each other. Is there a possibility that they all belong to the Spinosaurus or Elosuchus species? Is there any way to tell the two types of teeth apart? Below I put a few photos of the individual teeth.

OK, I have read the posts about croc tooth versus mosasaur and croc versus alligator. Based on what I read, this could be a mosasaur tooth given the sort of “prismatic” ribbing and lack of any carinae or at least the lack of the two that are equidistant from each other. Anyway, I’m not an expert but would love some help from those more learned. Check out the pics. This is basically from the Calvert formation - but more specifically Horsehead Cliffs area from the water. Thanks for looking!

Hi, I went to the fleamarket and bought these. One is some kind of shark tooth, the other a crocodile tooth from the miocene I believe. What do you think?

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here. This specimen was labelled as a 'dinosaur jaw bone' and it was found in the Hell Creek Formation near Glendive, Montana. It is about 27 mm long. It does seem to me it belongs to a reptile of some sort but I haven't been able to find anything on the internet to identify it with any more specificity so I'd really appreciate your expertise in identifying it. Thanks everyone!

Out hunting the Peace River yesterday. Went back to a location we have hunted forever. Basically just depending the river continually moving the fossils around and dropping them in the same place. Wait for the river to drop making this location shallow enough to dig. I know most of what I found... Here is a photo, after removing the shark teeth.... and the few shark teeth I chose to keep... The Meg on the left is 30 mm, some tigers including a Mayumbensis and a broken... meg I think. There was a Tapir tooth with some root, a Croc tooth along with the gator teeth, and a cluster that @Coco Identified for me years ago, but just now I can not remember. There is a chunk of proboscidean foot bone I likely will not identify, a chunk of gator jaw, dolphin tail vert, a dugong/manatee partial skull cap, and a pretty nice Glyptodont osteoderm. But the things I like the most are a dolphin tooth and ear bone... I seem to be finding more of these lately... and that's just fine with me. For last is this canine or maybe canine. I think that I convinced myself that it is a whale tooth that is "spalling"... More than sufficient find to reward a day of hunting, and a surprising number given that I have hunting this exact spot of years...

All I believe I found what woodbine formation animal I found the vertebrae was from in north tx. looking through all fossils from general area I found with little research found that I had croc skutes fossils. Here is pics and any experts please chime in. I tumbled and polished some of the scutes so that’s why one or 2 look like this. My bad thought was some cool metallic iron ore etc Wish I picked up more. I didn’t know what hole rocks were. Construction already destroyed animals fossil which I believe possibly a partial or whole animal remains.

Four weird little pieces from Gainesville fossil hunting. Guess for 1 is maybe turtle? 2 is very dark and was hard to capture the detail on top even with a dslr and flash, maybe a fish part? The bottom two both appear to be some type of teeth to me, whether that’s crocodilians or cetacean I’m not sure. I’m not even certain they’re identifiable!

Found a partial theropod claw and some other one, not sure if it’s even a claw but I figured I would check. dinosaur park fm

Hi, all! Found this in Green Mill Run last week. Not sure who used to own this one. Doesn’t look exactly like a croc to me. Root seems weird. Thanks!

Hello everyone! Can anyone please help me with the identification of these crocodile teeth? All come from Kem Kem (Morocco) I don't have a more precise location. To the eye there seems to be some Antaeusuchus or Uruguaysuchidae teeth. The dimension is 10/15mm Could any expert help me please?

I went to douglas point a few days ago, eager to get a large Otodus. What I did not expect to find was a skull fragment with teeth still embedded inside! None of the teeth are complete, but there is a lot of them, and it’s a pretty nice sized chunk of crocodile skull. I wasn’t even planning on doing douglas point that day, but we looked at both of the parking lots of both places, purse state, and douglas point, and I decided that zero cars was better than trying to navigate the beach with over 12 or so cars parked. There was no room for us to pull in anyways so I chose douglas point instead. The hunt started off very typically. I found a few goblins and sand tigers, some really nice bone fragments, and some busted up Otodus, one of which would have hit 1.75 if complete :(. But about half way through the trip, I found something odd. I thought it was one of the sandstone rocks from the zone 3 but it was colored brownish, so I picked it up and when I flipped it, there were rows and rows of teeth lining the bottom. I thought at first that I just found a jaw in the rock and did a little victory dance. It wasn’t until I investigated further that I came to realize that this was a piece of SKULL. WHAT?!?!? In my 10 years of collecting, I never would have thought that I’d ever find a skull. I was ecstatic! I will be taking this to the Calvert marine museum for further study and if they need this, I will give it up :(. That’s what a good scientist would do. Anyways, here are all the finds from that day. I found a lot. The whole haul: The whole haul flipped: Close up of the better stuff: I found 3 broken up Otodus teeth, a complete shark vertebrae, a scute, a coprolite with a fish scale inside, and a crocodile skull fragment. All the better stuff flipped: Underside of the skull: There are so many teeth in here! This is my first every crocodile skull, I’m now hoping to find the other pieces when I come back to this location. What a find! Coprolite: You can actually see what this animal had for lunch. This is a pretty neat fossil and would probably have been my favorite if not for the skull! Thank you for reading guys. I hope you enjoyed this trip report!

These are sold as Elosuchus osteoderms from the Kem Kem, Morocco. I have seen a lot of crocodile osteoderms, but never this huge. Can they really get this big and are these actually osteoderms or are these parts of the crocodile skull? #1 Length: 21.1 cm (8.31") Width: 7.6 cm (2.99")

Just purchased this crocodile skull piece from the Kem Kem, Morocco, I love the bone structure of this piece. I guess it's difficult, but can anyone maybe ID what part of the skull this came from? Size is 10.1 cm (3.98")

I purchased this rooted Alligatoroid tooth measuring 2.54" which was found in the Blufftown Formation on the Chattahoochee River in Stewart County, Georgia. I've been told it is a Deinosuchus schwimmeri tooth, and after some basic searching, it seems like a positive conclusion. However, I'm hoping some more knowledgeable than myself can confirm this.

These are from multiple trips between 2022-2023. all from Calvert cliffs, each trip has something unique I would like assistance in identifying so for convenience's sake, I will refer to the items in alphabetical order relative to the numerical trip order. 1A 2B etc. Trip 1 1A pretty sure it is a crocodile tooth, Thecachampsa sp? 1B this is a bone that i found on the beach, im not sure if it's a cetacean atlas or skull fragment. but it's got this weird hole in it on one side. 1C clearly a cetacean vert. probably a juvie dolphin. i think so bc it doesn't have any fused epiphysis. id like to know what part of the spine this would have been on the animal. 1D maybe the wing of a vert? 1E is this anything? or just concretion 1F biggest fossil I've found yet by far! this massive chunk of whale jawbone. I am going to make a separate post in fossil prep to see about the best ways to clean it. 1G maybe a rib? i believe its a bone of some sort. i need to paleobond this one back together. Trip 2 2A definetely a tooth of some sort. not sure if its a croc or a cetacean since the enamel is worn 2B maybe a rib? or vert wing? 2C I think this might be a turtle shell, because its texture is not pronounced enough to be a cookie fragment. 2D maybe a skate osteoderm? 2E 2F 2G Sand tiger shark 2H crab claw with some sort of borehole? any other comments or ideas are as always, appreciated!

Here is a tooth, 4.7 cm long. It's listed as being from the tiouraren formation, but i know things can get mixed between elrhaz and tiouraren. The tooth is listed as afrovenator, bit it looks a bit croc like to me.. it's quite worn and i think i see serrations on the distal end, but I'd like another opinion @Troodon

Hello everyone, I purchased a set of two vertebrae from the kem kem beds. (For a very small amount)The seller was honest in stating that he did not know what they are. He said possibly reptilian but was not certain. So its either turtle, crocodile or even dinosaur? Already thanks for any reply and comments. With best regards, Dirk

Listed in a sales site is this fossil. It's from the kimmeridgian and measures 3.4 * 4.4 cm long. The seller listed it as a possible marine crocodile, but is it possible it's plesiosaur due to the striations? @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon
-
I purchased this claw as a Struthuiomimus claw, it was advertised as such. I later on realized it's probably a turtle claw however.. it's from the hell creek formation What do people here think? It's 4.5 cm long @Troodon
