I found this in Summerville, South Carolina on Friday, I'm fairly confident that its fish, but im not sure if it's possible to get a positive id on species.

Ozan Oddballs. Regular Urchin Fragment and Fish Jaw Fragment?
Mikrogeophagus posted a topic in Fossil ID
Took a trip today to one of my new Ozan spots that is rapidly becoming a favorite, despite the headache it is to reach. Although the finds are few and far between, I've always come out with something I haven't seen before. It's definitely been testing my ID skills. I didn't come out with too many things, but I've got a couple I would like to get some informed opinions on. First up is a regular urchin. I've found a few fragments of regular echinoids washed out within a small stretch of creek. Though this is the third I've seen, its the first of this appearance and first to safely make it undamaged (it's a bumpy ride to get in and out). I'm pretty bad with echinoid IDs, but from comparison with the ones I'm familiar with, I think it's a kind of salenia. It also looks like it could be a goniophorus. I don't know the terminology, but the lines of mini tubercles in between the primary tubercles look closer to salenia. They seem to form paired lines. This guy is about 7.5 mm across. If it is salenia, I'm guessing it isn't the typical texana, mexicana, etc. that are found in older cretaceous fms of TX, so I wonder what species it could be if not a new one ! The second specimen I want to share looks like a fish jaw to me. Initially, I was very confused on what it could be. I thought it was tooth shaped, but had enamel unlike any I was familiar with. After some prepping, I think I've found a single tooth socket. Unfortunately, most of the "jaw" had been eroded away. Do you guys think it's a fish jaw? If so, any guesses on genus/species? Thanks for reading and feel free to ask for additional pics!

I have been spending the past covid months going through Lee Creek matix. I dont know what I would have done without it. I have found hundreds of things and still have a ton to go through. Since I post pictures last I took the advice given and purchased an aultrasonic cleaner. WOW, what a difference it makes. Thanks for the input on that @MarcoSr @Al Dente @ClearLake @CocoAnyway here are 10 unique finds that I need some guidence on. I appreciate any feedback! 1. Is this a fish tooth? To me it looks more reptilian. Dare I say Croc tooth. I know its not but I am still searching for my first. Plus I have heard they are super rare for Lee Creek. 2. The only thing that slightly looks close to this tooth is a Bramble Shark. But I think this is going to end up as some type of symphyseal tooth. 3. Smooth Hound Shark 4. Never saw anything like this before. I am assuming its fish 5. Alien tooth or another Symphyseal tooth 6. Just cool looking and small 1-2mm 7. Fish Jaw but what kind? about 2-3mm 8. Next two pictures are NOT the same tooth. I found two that look very similar. Pinfish? 9. 10. Fish tooth?

Did a little hunting today at Big Brook in NJ. Not a lot but what we did find was nice. One is this item. At firstI thought it was from a Saw Fish Rostrum but the bend in it is making me think left jaw of a bony fish. Any help would be appreciated.

I found this fish jaw many years ago at the Westmoreland State Park bluffs. At the time I got an ID that I now think is incorrect. I'd appreciate it if any of you guys can identify it and if possible the Genus and species....ha ha.

A 7 cm long Saurorhynchus (?) lower jaw from the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic, Posidonia Shale). A detailed pictures of the teeth: -
Hi there, I'm new to the fossil forum, and was hoping I could get help in identifying this jaw. It was found in Marmarth, North Dakota in the Hell Creek Formation. I don't have any more specifics on location besides that. I hope the pictures are detailed enough, but if not, I can post more. I am thinking it has to be some kind of fish, but I am not completely sure. Any direction or help would be wonderful! Thank you so much!
