From the album: Fossils
One of my favorite Lee Creek finds, a nice seal jaw with 5 teeth. This must have been a fairly young individual because there is almost no wear on the teeth. -
I found this the other day in a Middle Cenomanian shell hash layer. It is about 30 mm long. It seems to be absent sharp teeth and instead has some type of crushing dentition. But, I'm not sure that it's even a jaw. It could be a fragmented fish fin or split spine. Does anyone have a good idea?

I do a lot of Internet searches. At one of the per_pay land hunting sites, these photos were posted in mid December 2023. I think it might be a Goniodelphis hudsoni jaw segment with 6 teeth. @Boesse Just sharing and asking for any comments and suggestions . To me, this is a fantastic find... Some comments from Bobby in this thread https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/129508-iniid-tooth/ A PDF reference from Calvert Cliffs After years of never recognizing these ODD teeth, I have even found a couple: Do these match the ones in the Jaw... ?

Is that a real Abelisaurid jaw ?
Brevicollis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I saw this Abelisaurid jaw for sale today, the description says its real, but theres something wrong about it . The jaw looks like If its from a different specimen or found alone and then the teeth got placed in because of the weird gap in between the jaw and the teeth .

Recently, I found many fossilized bones, including a lower jaw, buried in clay next to a riverbank in Greece. I surfed the internet to get more information about that place and discovered it was very close to another site on the same river where Miocene bones were found (about 50 species, mainly mammals). I cleaned the jaw bone and then noticed that the teeth were missing, and I couldn't identify whether it was a carnivore or a herbivore. I would appreciate it if anyone could recognize any characteristics and maybe find what animal it belonged to. (In the known locality there were found rhinoceros, apes, turtles, hyenas, gazelles, lions, saber-toothed cats, other felines, various species of giraffes, bovines, bears, deer, horses, boars, primitive elephants and chalicotheres)

Hi everyone, I have recently acquired this mosasaur jaw from an online auction. It is currently being shipped to me so I'll be able to take additional photos once it has arrived. The seller stated it was found in a phosphate mine in the Khouribga region in Morocco. It's 41 cm wide and 20 cm tall. I'd like to know if it's possible to identify the genus or species this jaw belongs to. I'm also wondering if it's possible to tell if it's an upper or lower jaw. Before I'd discovered this forum I made a post about it on Reddit. The people there told me the matrix is fake and there have been some small repairs made. What are the signs of the matrix being fake? And what are the signs it's been repaired/restored? Below are two more photos which will hopefully provide more information. Thanks a bunch!

Greetings fossil friends, I found a very small jaw bone fragment with teeth. Found in Sarasota county while beachcombing the Intercoastal waterway. It is spot that produces fossils, but I think it may be modern. It is approximately 3/4” long (19.05mm) and .25” (6.35mm) thick. please help ID. Many thanks! -Marie

Real Spinosaurus jaw or good fake ?
Brevicollis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello , I saw this Spinosaurus jaw for sale today and wanted to know If thats a real one or a fake one (because there are so many fake ones on the Internet) . It looks real and fake at the same time to me , real because of that magnificant lip which many fake ones dont have , and fake because of the weird looking toothsockets and the man made looking demolition edge . What do you think ? Edit : I Just saw that one other member of the Forum posted about the same jaw a couple hours ago 😅

My international measurement of choice... a raspberry. Not only is it a good scale, but folks, these raspberries were as killer a find as some fossils considering their price. When is the last time you paid 2.99 for 12oz of raspberries?! I digress. 🙂 Both pieces were found in Custer County, Montana in a Hell Creek microsite.

Seller says this is a Saurolophus jaw. Is there anyway to identify? Is this legal to own as the species is form Mongolia?

Greetings, Two days ago I found this jawbone while I was walking through the countryside, and I've doubts if it belongs to a Wolf, a Coyote or a dog, although I think it's belongs to a Coyote. Thanks you for help!

The first fossil mammal in my collection: a partial jaw of Merycoidodon sp.
gond posted a topic in Member Collections
Hello everyone, even though I haven't reached 35 fossils in my collection like I hoped for this year, I still managed to close 2023 with my 34th fossil! The one I'm going to show you today is, in fact, this 34th fossil, which is also the first mammal fossil I've ever owned Species: Merycoidodon sp. (Leidy, 1848) Size: ~3.0 cm long Age: 34-23 mya (Oligocene, stage indet.) Origin: South Dakota's Badlands (USA) About this fossil: a partial lower jaw of this genus, with four nicely preserved teeth. I personally like how, in this specimen, the matrix is still present, which helps to keep the two parts together and just makes the fossil look nicer

Fossilized jaw, gifted to me by my aunt this christmas.
75millionyearsago posted a topic in Fossil ID
The jaw is pictured here- the enamel on the teeth does glint as expected, and there are fragments of shell throughout the matrix. Partially obscured portions of the left side of the jaw also show it was crushed as it fossilized, which all to me indicates the matrix is real. The jaw was sourced from Morocco by my aunt from a trusted seller she works with frequently, so i’m not SUPER worried about its authenticity. That said, if you think something is up, do tell! I’m led to believe it belongs to genus Enchodus, but the angle of the frontal tooth alongside the shortness of the jaw has me really unsure, and is leaving little inklings of doubt about it being real. i also attached a photo of an ammonite i am 100% sure is real but am hoping for a second opinion on my ID as an Agadir ammonite.
