    Tiger tooth?

    Hi everyone, This tooth has been sold as a tiger tooth from Java, Indonesia, dated at around 1,000,000 years old. Of course cat fossils are very rare. I trust the seller as they also sell composites that are labelled and sold as such, so I think they know their stuff. What are your views on this? The only real question I have about it is the dip in the bone on the left side underneath the tooth; what is this? Is this indeed a tiger/cat tooth?
  2. Hello! I run a ladies fossil hunting fb group here in Florida, USA but am traveling to Singapore October 6- 13 and would like to know: 1. Are there any excursions I can go on to find fossils in Singapore? What can be found there? 2. Are there any paid excursions in Java or elsewhere in Indonesia? 2a. Would it be safe to travel alone? (American female in her 50's if it makes a difference). I would need to fly in from Singapore and preferably meet with a reputable group. Thank you!

    Crocodylus or Gavialis tooth?

    I had a question about the ID of croc teeth from the Solo River, Java, Indonesia. While the bigger tooth is more easily identifiable as Crocodylus siamensis (syn. Crocodylus ossifragus) just on the size and shape, I was unsure about the smaller one. Croc teeth from the Pleistocene deposits (not sure what formation it's called) are usually just sold as Crocodylus ossifragus, but Gavialis bengawanicus also appears to have been present. The smaller tooth does have prominent fluting, but I'm not sure if that's even a distinguishing feature. I haven't really seen a whole lot of Crocodylus teeth, fossil or extant. Not sure if smaller teeth from this region are even identifiable. If anyone has any knowledge of distinguishing gharial from crocodile, help would be appreciated. Measurement in centimeters. Last image here is just a comparison with a Thecachampsa americana (left) from Bone Valley, Florida.
  4. Hi again, looking at purchasing this tiger tooth that looks real bud there are some things that don’t. Looking for a second opinion before I commit. thank you IMG_4793.MOV

    Tiger Tooth identification

    Hi everyone I’m looking for a ID on this tiger tooth bought from Indonesia, it comes from Java island Solo. Possibly from which extinct tiger.
  6. Hi just wondering what this shell might be that is in the matrix of my Indonesian (Java) Meg tooth. @IsaacTheFossilManmight have an idea?
  7. A friend has just shown me these and wanted to know if i could help on an id but i was stuck so have to ask you guys and girls. They were said to be found in marine deposits where sharks teeth are found but this is not 100% confirmed. he just tinks they are some kind of mammal claw but something does not look quite right has anyone else got any ideas ? there are 2 , photos are not great but hope you can help. Looking at the photos again they look a little like crab claw pincers but they are far bigger than any of the crabs found in the area....
  8. This has me stumped, Its fram Java Indonesia, it came in a lot with some small shark teeth, fish teeth and sting ray barb... i assume its fish related? looks like to small tusk like pertrusions, other guess was turtle related, would be great to hear from anyone thats seen anything like this before. Thanks
  9. From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    This specimen weighs 36.0g and measures 65x40x25mm; several small fragments of plant material are contained within its translucent, reddish mass. Originating from the island of Java, this variety of copal is a fairly recent discovery; it is recovered from various soil levels, near to or on the surface of the rainforest floor. Rough specimens usually exhibit a thick, whitish exterior crust; Indonesian red copal is very soft, reacts readily with acetone, and can be scratched with a fingernail.

    Mystery Java Fossil - Croc? *HELP*

    Hi Guys, This one had me absolutely stumped. Found in Java, Indonesia.
  11. I have an old collection. I bought it from a fossil hunter in Java, Indonesia. The Length 20 cm. The Width 10 cm. The Weight 3 kg I don't know if it is a real Rhino Horn Fossil or fake. Please give me some opinion about this.
  12. Hi I got these teeth with some other fossil and i just dont know what they are from. They are Pleistocene I believe going of the other fossils from this area. (Indonesia, Java) Teeth numbered 1 and 2 are crocodilian, i know that much, they are clear to see and still have the serrations down either side... I am not sure if tooth 3 is also crocodilian? but maybe the surface/ details of the tooth has been polished (a real bad habbit they have over there) but teeth 4,5 & 6 are different. Their colours are very different, but again, I'm not sure. I think they have been polished also. I did have a tooth a while back that was ID'd as bear (species unverified) not sure if these are bear, wolf, or something else? It's quite hard researching fossils from there, so would be great to hear your views., Many thanks in advance. sorry took these without scale, they measure largest 130mm and the smallest 70mm

    unknown Pliocene jaw, indonesia?

  16. Hi all, I was recently gifted a lovely fossil from a friend. He told me it comes from a reliable digger from Sangiran and it is a rhino horn. However, I have my doubts Rhino horns as I understand, are made of keratin which means they do not fossilize easily. Also, this fossil here is almost surely a bone. My friend tells me it is permineralized keratin but I am not sure if I agree with that. While there are indeed lines that flow from the base to the tip, I can't tell if they are carved or not My friend mentioned this is a river find, hence the dark coloration. I rubbed it with acetone and revealed a different color underneath. I am 95% sure this is not wood however as there are no wood grains and the weight is more consistent with bone What leads me to the conclusion that this is a real bone and not wood is the cross section. There is actual bone structure here So, what is this "horn" exactly? My guess right now is that it is an actual bone (judging from the base) that was carved into the shape of a horn. There is a honeycomb pattern which you can see on the base. Traces of this pattern can be seen exposed by acetone. Perhaps most of the honeycomb surface pattern was destroyed by carving? Anyway, I could be totally wrong. Maybe this is indeed a true fossil rhino horn and I am just over-paranoid. I would like your thoughts please, thank you

    Rhino? From Indonesia. ID request

    hafa adai I recently purchased a flat of fossils from a guy I've been buying from in Indonesia (I know a guy... LOL). The ID card with this one said "rhinoceros", Miocene from Java, Indonesia. I have only ever seen rhino molars from there, which this is clearly not. Internet searches for rhino incisors however, yield teeth which are more tusk-like. I'm not really familiar with rhino dentition, so I thought I would appeal for assistance. Is it rhinoceras? thanks!
  18. I have here 3 Indonesian Megs. They were declared as no repairs or restorations. I now have them in person, and they look fine. I ran them under a UV, and I am suspicious of the dark spots on the roots, but I think that may be some of the top layer of the root leftover while the rest of the root eroded. Additionally, the second tooth may have some restoration to the left side of the serrations, near the base of the crown. I'd love some more eyes on this please, does anyone see any red flags? Thank you, Bellamy First Megalodon

    Great White - Indonesia

    I have here an alleged Carcharodon carcharias tooth from the Pliocene of Surabaya, West Java, Indonesia. It's 1.8 cm in length. I have my suspicions because it looks wide like a Meg. I'd like some further opinions. Thank you, Bellamy

    Indonesian Shark Tooth

    Hi everyone, I have here a 1" tooth identified as a Megalodon from West Java, Indonesia, allegedly a new creek locality. I know that smaller Megs may not necessarily have bourlettes, but there do not appear to be serrations. This could probably be explained by river wear. In any case, might this be a Meg, or could it be something else? Best, Bellamy

    Exotic Megalodon Dealers

    Hi everyone, I've been looking for a Megalodon from one of the more exotic localities in Asia. The problem is, most of the dealers I know stick to those originating from the United States. I've found some on various auction sites, but I don't wish to get into that because I'm not very experienced in spotting fakes and reconstructions. I would be more interested in someone who you've had fruitful dealings with. If anyone could PM me suggestions for dealers to contact regarding teeth from these localities, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Shayan
