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 pond. If anyone has answers to these questions that will be great. Excuse my lack of knowledge in these areas I'm new and I've just started with no current knowledge in dinosaurs.

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 point or tip. The "enamel" is also completely smooth, and lacks any evidence of striations which were evident in the googled images. It could be, of course, that maybe my specimen is just extremely worn. Any input is much appreciated!

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 .... Here are two pictures of the found location: Firstly I want to show my best bone from there. Its an 4 cm long Phalanx and I have no idea from which animal it comes from. I hoped that I would find some more bones and maybe even a mammal tooth but maybe next time Then secondly I was very happy about my two shark teeth I found because they seem to be very rare there. Although they are quite worn The first one is 3 cm long: And the second one is 2 cm long and damaged on the other side: Another very common find there are fish vertebrae. The ones I found: They are not big (the biggest one is 2.5 cm long) Furthermore I found a beautiful tooth plate (?) of a fish: (3.6 cm long) And last but not least two Pectenids: Some more reports will follow (maybe in other threads...) Hope you enjoyed my pictures and thanks for viewing !!!

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 well (the large object however i think is a worn belemnite). It measures 18 mm long, but note the tip of the tooth is broken.

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
