I have a few horse teeth I’ve found beachcombing, mostly after big storms. I have two that are really wide, I was thinking maybe it could be a camel tooth or something or maybe the other ones aren’t whole? I’ll put a few more pics below because I can only upload 4mb at a time

Hi, This was an unusual beach find in Tampa Bay, Florida. I thought it was a vertebrae of some kind so I tossed it in my bucket. When I was going through my Florida Fossil book looking at horse teeth one day, I saw a horse ankle bone that resembled my find. It's very hard, light probably because it is hollow; but doesn't appear to be mineralized. I'm not sure it is a fossil, but I also don't know how it could be modern. What is it?

Found this large bone in recycling bin. I have no idea what it came from. Approx 14"L x 5.75" diameter at mid bone x 13"at ends. I'd love your feedback. Thx!

Hello all, I found this piece of bone on IRB, Florida and it's about 1/2" x 1/2". I know it's pretty small to ID but it has some distinctive marks on it. My initial guess was a juvenile horse tooth frag, but than I saw pics of sloth that had similarities. I have photos of 6 different views. The photos are not as sharp as I would like, but the best I can get. Can you ID it? Thanks so much!

This tooth was found on a beach off the channel at South Padre Island. I am a shell and artifact hunter and have been finding fossils of late. I don't really know about fossils and have joined this group to help me learn and identify what I find. I have three fossils that I would love help with identification and I will post separately. Thanks so much!

This was the year of the Mammal for me. The antler piece was given to me by my friend Bill who ONLY keeps shark teeth-he also gave me the meg pieces in the previous post. The 2nd piece in the picture I can not id. Pictures 3-5 is this a deer tooth? 6/7 horse? 8/9 piece of mastodon tooth? 10/11 mammoth tooth piece, 12/13 looks like tooth material?, 14,15 looks to me to be ivory? mastodon or mammoth? 16/17 looks like the baleen groove for a baleen whale? I have a number of other large bone? pieces that i will post later as part 3 to try and see if identifiable as well as some interesting modern stuff. I did not post the bryozoan material I found either. Thanks for looking and any corrections, suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hipparion Jaw Fossil ... Is it real?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! Good evening for all my big family here in TFF ! I'm thinking of buying this fossil jaw from Hipparion. But please, I would like to ask some questions before my purchase: 01) Can this jaw fragment even be a real fossil or is it a modern horse jaw with mud and cement? 02) Is it an upper or lower jaw? 03) Anyone know what species of Hypariodon exactly belongs this jaw? 04) According to the seller (Yes, the seller is Chinese), this jaw was discovered in China ... Anyone know in which locality may have been discovered? Well, at least in my opinion, it's a good chunk of the upper jaw: I thank you all for your help! @Crazyhen -
Here's a couple of quick hunts I forgot to post from the last two weeks. Post Oak Creek and North Sulphur River Texas. I really like the ammonites.

This complete metacarpal, a.k.a. cannon bone is an extremely rare find for North Carolina. Pleistocene mammals are uncommon and are mostly teeth. Being complete and undamaged it will be taking a prominent spot in my collection. The bone was found in a quarry containing mixed sediments of Pliocene Yorktown Formation, which is marine and a Pleistocene pebble lag. The odds are very very small that this would be from the Pliocene, so I am going on my gut feeling that this is from the Pleistocene. I also would like to send thanks to forum member @Fruitbat and @Harry Pristis for giving me a positive I.D. on this.

Horse Teeth 'Modern' horse teeth are very hypsodont (high-crowned) to deal with wear caused by eating gritty and/or fibrous foods like grasses. A mature horse may have as many as 44 teeth, which include: 12 incisors (6 upper and 6 lower) Canine teeth are usually absent in female horses but may be present in males. Cheek teeth (4 premolars and 3 molars per side) have very complex enamel patterns. The first premolars (upper and lower) in horses (sometimes called the 'wolf teeth') are vestigial and often absent. Upper cheek teeth (premolars and molars) can be recognized by the relatively square shape (except for the second premolar and third molar) when viewing the occlusal (chewing) surface. Lower cheek teeth (premolars and molars) can be recognized by the relatively rectangular shape when viewing the occlusal (chewing) surface (except for the second premolar and third molar). Horse 'foot' bones 'Modern' horses are monodactyl (one-toed). The metapodials (hand and foot bones) are reduced to a single unit on each leg. There are three 'toe bones' - phalanges (singular is phalanx) on each foot...phalanx I, phalanx II and phalanx III. The third phalanx is the 'hoof core' Unfortunately, I have never collected an intact phalanx III so I have not pictured one here. The astragalus (ankle bone) is only present on the hind legs.

This mesohippus jaw was found near the Hyaenodon. Not sure of species yet but I believe it to be a three toed horse. -
From the album: Jerry's Really Old Stuff
Two adjoining associated upper pre molars from an early equus (horse) yarmouth interglacial Pleistocene of Nebraska. The equus species is believed to have evolved from early North American horse species which migrated to Asia and Europe and subsequently migrated back into North American across the Bering straights during the mid Pleistocene era. The oldest fossils of equus have been found in Asia and Europe.These fossils are completely mineralized and probably date in excess of 200,000 years. The fossil beds adjoining the Niobrara River of Nebraska contain a wealthy of mid Pleistocene mammal fossils. -
From the album: Jerry's Really Old Stuff
Part of a collection of Pleistocene mammal fossils recently acquired. Camelops phalanx, two species horse hooves, Pliocene three toed horse astragalus, Pliocene horse metapodial, horse medial phalanx, bison calcaneum, unidentied hoof and proximal phalanx. Generally these fossils were found in the context of yarmouth inter glacial mid Pleistocene Niobrara River fossil beds though a few are older or somewhat more recent like the bison calcaneum. Age: 200,000 to 600,00 years for yarmouth, 2 to 4 million for Pliocene fossils.-

From the album: Jerry's Really Old Stuff
This horse vertebrae was found at the Richardson's landing Pleistocene site on the Mississippi River Tipton County, TN just north of Memphis by my brother's friend Mike. The site is well known for peccary, bear, mastodon and other period fossils. Mike gave them to my brother who gave them to me in 2013. Also included in the group were pieces of fossil horse molars and a nearly complete horse femur. The Memphis Museum owns Pleistocene fossils from this site.-
