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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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 Orthanth

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!

So this is at Texas Tarrant County near a large pond. Not sure if the tooth is crocodile, fish, marine dinosaur or small mammel. The rock with circles on it I'm guessing is an imprint of a shell. And the other one I think is bone in Rock not sure if it's like a tooth if so I guess bovine or triceratops but I'm not sure if it's a recent bone or a bone from the dinosaur era (or if it's a bone at all). Also a general question of how do you know if something is a modern bone or dinosaur bone, I found some level surface and you can see the face of the bone, the rest is in the ground and it's near a

Found these while searching some of the very fine matrix from Sharktooth hill. My first thought was a cusp from a shark tooth, but they have no damage other than no root. Had a couple of other thoughts, but they did not fit either. This left Me with fish tooth as the most likely candidate. Please help to deny or confirm this idea. Scale in millimeters. Thanks for any help, Tony

Found in north Fort Hood near Gatesville, TX next to the Leon River. Unsure of formation. *would love to know if anyone has that info* Resembles a fish tooth to me, but this one is MUCH larger than any I've ever found (in eastern NC where I live), plus this one seems to have a root attached. It's approximately 3.5cm standing tall, and the "root" is approximately 3cm at its widest point. Quarter is for size reference. I googled some globidens images (as someone suggested) but I have not seen any that precisely match my specimen. For instance, mine does not have any indication of a

Last week I was on holiday in the Netherlands and found some nice things, especially shark teeth ! I was at the area of Antwerp, in Cadzand, in Vlissingen and at the Zandmotor near Den Haag. In this topic I want to show my finds from my visit at the Zandmotor. The Zandmotor is artificial peninsula, constructed as part of the Dutch coastal defense system. The sand originates from about 10 kilometers offshore, and contains bones of various land mammals from the Quaternary period. On my visit I found some bone fragments, two shark teeth and some more things ....

Collected recently at a marine Cretaceous location near Richmond, QLD, Australia (Toolebuc Formation). 100 million years old. Fossils of both fish (some quite large) and pterosaurs are known from the location. There were also marine reptiles but i think fish or pterosaur are the only two possibilities in this case. I have a number of other definitive fish teeth from this location but they all look somewhat different which is why i am confused with this one. There appears to be a bit of bone attached to the bottom of the tooth, and maybe a little bit to one side of the specimen as

Hi all, Found this little tooth hiding in between my pycndont fish teeth from Balegem. I quickly realized that this wasn't in the right place, and it reminded me of something else. So, is it maybe a very worn Nebrius thielensi? Or is it something else? It's from Balegem, Belgium (closed location). From the Lede Sand Formation. From the Lutetian stage of the Eocene (45 mya). Thanks in advance! Max

I have a coprolite from Sihedang Town, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, China. The preparation was bad, and the coprolite itself came free of the matrix during shipping. Since it was a good sacrificial piece, I decided to dig around. I found this tooth, but unfortunately, I broke it before I was able to extract it or get a microscopic image. Any guesses? The coprolite contains no scales, but there are fish bones and vertebrae partially exposed. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Finishing up trying to ID some finds from the Fall at Purse State Park in Charles County, Maryland. These presumably are from the Paleocene Aquia Formation. This is my only collecting trip there so far. I think that #1 is a crocodile tooth, #2 is a turtle scute, #3 is a claw or tooth, and #4 and 5 are fish teeth. Please school me Fossil Forum. More of #4 and 5 More of #3

Hello, I was sorting through some gravel John (Sacha) so kindly sent to me, which I wanted to share some teeth I found and possibly get some IDs/confirmation on them. Thank you in advance for taking the time to look at and respond. My apologies if these are not the sharpest pictures, these micros can be difficult to photograph without a digital microscope with a good image capture. The first tooth I think maybe a basking shark tooth, based on photos I seen on the internet of basking shark teeth from Sharktooth Hill. However, the photos seem to vary by formation (species?).
