Small Partial Jawbone with Remnant Dentition, Peace River, FL
Bone Daddy posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this little piece of jawbone that has some curvature to it that initially caught my eye and upon closer examination it appears to have a tooth root in one of the sockets. My first guess is cetacean of some kind. Is that right, or am I way off? I'm not sure if it's marine or not. Thanks in advance! -
Hi everyone, this is my first post on here. This specimen was labelled as a 'dinosaur jaw bone' and it was found in the Hell Creek Formation near Glendive, Montana. It is about 27 mm long. It does seem to me it belongs to a reptile of some sort but I haven't been able to find anything on the internet to identify it with any more specificity so I'd really appreciate your expertise in identifying it. Thanks everyone!

Real Spinosaurus jaw? Or fake?
Cris Tang posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good morning. A seller from Morocco sent me pictures of Spinosaurus. But I have no idea with it. May I get some advice from you, please? Thank you -
Hello everyone! I'm here seeking for help with the ID of this Mosasaurus jaw section I recently bought. It comes from Ouled Abdoun, Morocco. I don't know much more, and I'm just becoming crazy reading that there are more than 18 Mosasaurus species from Morocco The seller didn't commented on the ID, but he said it may be an Eremiasaurus. What do you think? Also, do you think that the bone on the bottom left is the left side of the jaw? Thanks in advance!

This is a creek find from SW, MS. It was found amongst other types of teeth. It appears a cap (enamel) is missing from one tooth. Can anyone please identify it. Help is appreciated. Thanks in return.

Hi, just wanted to double check if the ID of this mosasaur jaws is correct and if there is any composite stuff (at least from may point of view I can't see any). This first in theory it's a Eremiasaurus heterodontus from Oued Zem. The second one it's a Prognathodon curii also from the same place. Tagging @Praefectus and @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon. Thanks guys!!

Hi, Was just wondering if this is really a Spinosaur jaw fragment because most I see labelled as that turn out to be Croc instead. It is a small fragment at 6.5cm in length and comes from the Kem Kem. Thanks!

Hello, I bought a Mosasaur Jaw fragment from Morocco at a local expo, at first sight I thought that maybe it's prognathodon sp. but I would like to know your opinion. The jaw has 3 teeth that I could check that belong 100% to the jaw and the other at least seemed to have the same morphology but it's not possible to know if the belogned to the jaw or not. Any way, knowing this I thought the price was fair so I bought it. I have marked with red the teeth that for sure belong to the jaw so it can help with the ID. If it helps with the ID, the teeth have 2 edges, one on each side. On the other hand, do you think that the other teeth has the same morphology and can belong to the same species or even to this specimen? I know that I will never be able to know 100% sure if that's the case. Here is a close up of the 2 big teeth that belong to the jaw:

Found this in the Hell creek formation in eastern montana. It measures 2 7/8” long by 3/4” wide. It definitely is not crock. Leaning towards paraxenisaurus. “Strange lizard”. It would be rare in the Hell Creek.

Working on an Archaeotherium jaw. It is in pretty rough shape and wish the teeth were in better condition, still a neat specimen. It still needs work but what do you guys think so far??

I found this lower right jaw bone exposed on the bed of a creek in north central florida. It appears to be from an extinct canine species, but I am unsure and figured someone on here probably has more knowledge than I do on what it could be. Measurements are 7 cm in height at the tallest point, almost 15 cm in length, and 1 cm in thickness. There is one molar missing, and the incisors at the front are missing as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

After no rain for many months we got a big 13 foot rise last weekend. I was hoping that would wash away all the mud and uncover many great fossils. Unfortunately it was still few and far between. The mud has been halfway washed away, which is halfway to where we want it, but the fossils are still not uncovered. Here are a few of the things i found: A couple decent but small mosasaur verts. Also the in situ shots. Decent fish jaw. Not sure which species though. A cool shell from the grey shale zone. All I ever see are impressions but this came out whole with nacre. 1. Coprolite? People find it all the time but I just don't have an eye for it. However this looks like a dog just had a fresh one on the ground. 2. No idea. Looks like a modern bone but hard as a rock. Maybe it is just rock? 3. Last looks like a fossilized jaw bone but is modern unfossilized non-jaw bone. It is amazing how much it looks like the fish and mosasaur jaw i found earlier. Anyone know what part of the animal this is from?

From the album: Sharks and fish
Front side of armor which I believe could be the edge of the jaws! It comes to what would have been the razor sharp shearing edge, greatly worn down now, though. I also believe it could be the jaw because of the clear vertical wear lines on the surface, from being sheared against the inner surface of the other jaw, which is how they kept the edges razor sharp like scissors. I have seen similar wear lines on placoderm shearing jaws, so what I believe to be reasonable observations point to the possibility(maybe even likely?)of being from the cutting edge of the jaws. -

Find this laying on top of Pierre shale out cropping as if it was dropped by bird or came out of above matrix. I tried putting a tip of it into vinegar and did not fizle but it did degrade the bone and made it soft so it would kind of fall into powder pieces when scraped. I tried burning the tip of it but it did not burn might have been because it was wet from the vinegar. What could it be? Thanks!
