    Mystery tooth

    Greetings all. I was going back through some pieces from the Chandler Bridge Creek in Summerville, SC., and rediscovered a specimen I originally took for a shark tooth, but now not as confident. Upon further inspection it looks to possibly be a different kind of fish tooth. I don't think this is crab claw either. It measures about 1.5 cm or just under 3/4 inches in length. Also note two prong like protrusions near the base/root. Anyone seen something like this before?

    Calvert Cliffs Fish Tooth

    I found what I believe is a partial fish tooth along the Calvert Cliffs (Miocene) in Maryland a while ago. @Al Dente, @MarcoSr, or others, any idea what this may have belonged to?

    Fish tooth

    I found this tooth (half) in a pleistocene lag deposit outside of Summerville, SC. A local guide, author, etc. said it was a fish tooth, but he couldn't remember off the top of his head what kind. Is anyone able to ID it, or is "fish tooth" the closest I can get? Thank you!

    Cladodont Tooth

    From the album: Chondrichthyan Teeth From The Pennsylvanian Period

    Not exactly sure what cladodont this one belongs too. Less than 10mm due to missing the tip.

    Unidentified fish tooth

    From the album: Fossildude's Upper Devonian Fish Fossils

    Unidentified fish tooth - possibly sarcopterygian. Catskill Formation Metzgers' Quarry, Canton PA. Upper Devonian. This is actually an imprint of a tooth, with a bit of the enamel/bone material (white,pink,blue) left behind in the imprint. Tooth itself was destroyed in the splitting process, as it was not visible at first. Oh well.

    Stingray dermal plate?

    Yesterday I was in a creek that I haven't been to in a while. I got the normal fossils, mainly shark teeth and the occasional meg frag or mako, but I also got these strange fossils that I have never seen before. The first one reminds me of a dolphin ear bone we got earlier this year, so I was wandering if it was some sort of ear bone. The second fossil I am very curious about. At first I thought fossil barnacle, but it appears to have enamel on top. The closest thing I could compare it to was a stingray dermal plate I saw in a book, but the bottom of mine seems more raised and the top seems less slanted. My only other guess would be fish tooth, but the flat bottom turns me away. any help is appreciated, thank you!

    Alligator tooth?

    Found this on Jones Island, SC. Appears to be an Alligator tooth without the root. Anyone have any thoughts?

    Cretaceous shark teeth I found in Grayson County, TX

    Eagle Ford Group, Post Oak Creek, Sherman, TX, USA I'm curious to know the identity of these shark teeth so help from experienced fossil hunters would be much appreciated!
  9. I've been out to the Lake Waco Research Area (or just the Waco Pit as many people call it) about nine or ten times so far this year. Over the course of those trips I've found a lot of interesting things such as several species of sharks' teeth, some very small sea urchins, fish vertebrae, and of course the common pyritized miniature ammonites. But I've also found several things that I have yet to definitively identify, such as the three finds that I'm making this post about. First is a small piece of shale with a peculiar pattern that runs off the edge. It reminded me of millipede tracks people have found in Carboniferous deposits and so I decided to keep it and do some research later, not really thinking it was anything special. But to my surprise it seems to match up with pictures of hermit crab trackways (Nereites) quite well, with the indented line representing where the shell was dragged across the ocean floor and the tiny diagonal markings on either side having been made by the legs. I'm not exactly sure why the line in the center of the trackway is depressed into the shale as a negative while the "footprints" are raised positives, however, although it does seem to look that way in some of the pictures of modern hermit crab footprints I saw online as well. The other thing I can't figure out is why the trackway (if that's actually what it is) starts in the middle of the piece of shale rather than continuing off the edge in another direction. If the crab had been dropped onto the ocean floor and then began moving I would expect to find some sort of depression marking where it had landed at the beginning of the trackway but I don't see anything like that. The second find is also crab-related and is one half of a claw. I've found other crab claws before at the pit, but they're usually much smaller and rounded with dimpled marks and come from a species of hermit crab called Pagurus banderensis. This lower half of a claw is larger than a full set of pincers from Pagurus and looks nothing like them. So which Cretaceous crab does it belong to? The last find is a fish tooth. Although fish vertebrae are incredibly common in the pit, their teeth are not. I've only ever found isolated Enchodus fangs before, and this is not one of those. It's much thicker and is proportionally shorter. My best guess is Pachyrhizodus or Protosphyraena but I'm not sure; it could very well be an Enchodus tooth, just a lateral one. Thanks for looking everybody! Any help with ID's is greatly appreciated.
  10. Location: Missouri Period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Iola Limestone (Muncie Creek Shale Member or Raytown limestone member) Hello! I happened to take a trip to my usual fossil hunting spots in search of another tooth that was stuck in a rock I planned to dig out but found this delicate one before it and took it home. Sadly this was missing most of its pieces but I thought it could be identified. I couldn't really think of anything it most resembles as it does not look like my Campodus teeth or Petalodus teeth. That's mostly why I posted it here but it very well could have been from them as they are the most common of the teeth I find there. Sorry in advance I got a new phone recently and it does not take as high quality pictures as my old one. Rotated: rotated again Measurements:

    Bony fish tooth

    From the album: Moscow region Late Jurassic vertebrates

    Probably Atractosteus, 7 mm, Fili Park, Volgian-Nikitini zone
  13. Receiving this gorgeous but mysterious specimen is from Upper Pennsylvanian limestone dated around 290-300 million years ago from somewhere around Kansas City. Looks like a tooth to me and my best guess would be orodus? But I have little experience with Pennsylvanian shark teeth in general and especially from this area, also cannot find a comparison elsewhere online. Any help will be appreciated.

    Lee Creek Fish Tooth

    I have a number of Lee Creek teeth that can't be identified any closer than Unknown Fish Tooth. This one may end up in the same "drawer" but I hope it's characteristic enough for someone to point me in the right direction. The tooth is basically round, but it transitions into a well defined spear shape at the tip. It's very distinct, but not sure it shows well in the pix. Although it's rather small, current thinking is maybe Enchodus sp. ? Scale is 1mm. Appreciate you looking and welcome comments.

    Fish tooth #2?

    I named this topic as Fish tooth #2? because this fossil is very similar to my another fossil in a previous topic a while ago. Nobody really have any consensus on what it is and I thought it might be a fish tooth. I hope I will be lucky this time to have someone identify it for me with confidence. Located in Ellsworth county, Kansas, age of Albian, and from Kiowa Formation. It's approximately 4mm long. I know identifying specimens from Kiowa Formation can be a real pain since it's so little researched! lol...

    Even more Cookie Cutter creek finds

    Here are a few more of my recent Cookie Cutter matrix finds. I am curious about what kind of fish has / had teeth like the one in this photo. And I am thinking that this is a bit from a fish, possibly a mouth or jaw part. Seems too thick for something like an operculum ... any guesses? And finally, are either of these specimens coprolite? @GeschWhat Thanks for looking.

    Fish tooth?

    I found this matrix containing something that reminds me of the fossilized fish tooth pictures that I have seen around on here. When I noticed this, I chipped this matrix section off of a larger shell hash plate containing mostly Turritella sp. and bivalves. Its original location is in Ellsworth county, Kansas at Kanopolis reservoir. Age of this matrix is Albian and it is from Kiowa formation-Longford Member. Length of this 'tooth' is about .25 inches/6.5 mm. Can anyone identify what it is? It is currently soaking in a bowl of water, I hope to remove more of the matrix off to get a better look at it. Do you have any advice/tips on how to do it without breaking the 'tooth'? As you can see it, it's very small and I have nearly no experience in prepping the fossils beyond the washing and brushing with toothbrush.
  18. Hey guys. I'm looking for some help with this large mystery fish tooth from the late Carboniferous of Illinois. The closest match i can find is from the Devonian lobed finned fish Hyneria. But this is late Carboniferous almost Permian. Another contender just based on size is the Rhizodont. But it's not rounded. This tooth flattens out to two cutting edges that are very sharp. It honestly reminds me of a Barracuda tooth. This broken tooth measures about 20mm, but would have most likey been around 30mm if complete. It is associated with a Megalichthys scale and Orthanthus teeth. Any thoughts?

    Isle of Wight Fossils

    Hi all, I found this concretion when I was fossil hunting in Yaverland, Isle of Wight. It appears to have a tooth and bone fragments in it. I was wondering if anyone could help identify what these fossils may have belonged to. Many thanks in advance!
