I have here fossils from Southern California. There's no other info on them. It was an impulse buy, and they weren't a tonne of money. They looked canid to me, but I'm not sure what they are. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the advice. Largest is around 1 1/2" Thank you, Bellamy

Can anyone help me identifying this jaw, unfortunately the selle can't send me a photo of the chewing surface. I can't understand if it is a boar jaw or a tapir jaw. I'd like to hear your opinion

I've never found anything like this. 3 roots (1 broken)

Perhaps someone could shed light on these 2 hollow bones. The little one came in abag of misc bones years ago and has a fused joint ? at end, the big one I just dont remember . The little bone maybe has a faint smell when burnt, not positive. The big one has zero smell when burnt. The big one is heavy, the little one feather light. If someone could suggest species and if dinosaur would be great.

This is about the most complete vert that I’ve found. I’m horrible at identifying vertebrae, but I’m going to stick my neck out (pun intended) and suggest that this is a bison cervical vert. Found on the Brazos River in SE Texas

This piece was given to me by a farmer that said he found it near a small creek that runs through his property here in Central Illinois in an area of deep Wisconsin Glacial Episode drift. Does not appear to be permineralized, but I am not sure. Does not stick to tongue. Specimen is definitely worn, with burnished rounding at sharp edges, and is very dark, almost looking like iron oxide with magnification. Canal through bone is tapering in diameter, but that could be due to loss of marrow. 3.25 x 2.5 x 1.75 inches in size.

Hello everyone. I found this molar when searching a site recently, and I am not sure what it is from. I don't know my teeth very well, but I suspect it came from a deer? Maybe a worn molar? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I found this in a creek in Apopka Florida any one know if this is a fossil or modern it’s pretty heavy for its size does anyone know what it is?

Hello ya'll, I have with with me what appears to be a tooth of some kind. It is clearly bone, and may have some type of enamel remaining. I think it's an eroded tooth, but I am not sure from what. Any insights or thoughts would be appreciated. I found it in Georgia. Thanks!

I found this ungulate radius in the North Sulphur Creek outside of Ladonia, Texas. Am unsure if this is a bison or not (or horse? I don't know how to differentiate between even and odd toed radii), though I know that it dates to the Late Pleistocene. Would very much appreciate the ID help! (Sorry I don't have a ruler handy at the moment)

This partial mandible was found on private land in the Willwood Formation of the Bighorn Basin. It is likely a right M1 and partial M2. I've been able to identifying it down to Perissodactyla indet. but cannot go further. I'm leaning towards something like Cardiolophus but I'm not sure. Would appreciate any help.

Hello, I am curious about this piece of what i think may be a jaw fragment. Found on James River in Virginia within Yorktown Formation. There appears to be one intact tooth and a portion of an adjacent tooth that has broken, leaving a cavity. Measures approx 2 x 1.5 x 1 cm. (The background grid is in centimeters) Appreciate any/all feedback. Thanks!!

Hi guys! Recently I got in a trade this nimravid mandible from the white river formation in Shannon County. Now I want to ask your help to determine the genus, if possible. Being incomplete and missing all the teeth it's quite difficult but it has a quite elongate mandible flange and by the number of the alveoli it had three teeth. I think it can be Hoplophoneus, what do you think about it?

Hi all, I'd appreciate any input you have on this piece please. I bought a lot at auction only labelled 'North Sea Pleistocene'. I live in the UK, so there's a fair bit of coast that can get North Sea fossils washed up, usually nowadays seems to be Norfolk area - unfortunately I have no way of knowing whether that is the locale. This measures 170x100x50MM approx at its longest/widest points. I suspect its from a sort of deer/small horse sized mammal but don't really have any further ideas. It could have broken off something larger. Thanks in advance for any input! John

Hey all! i have an unprepared Brontotherium Jaw section up for trade. It’s from the Badlands, South Dakota, United States. It’s a really cool piece that displays well, I’m just looking for something new for my collection. I would be interested in trading for Dire Wolf teeth, an Eremotherium Tooth, other giant ground sloth teeth/claw cores. PM me offers or any questions. Thanks!

Right now you'll be seeing a lot more posts from me as I'm making a concerted effort to get some of my fossils ID'd which I've been slacking on for a couple months (between, college, work et.). Anyway, here's a cool little tooth I found searching through some Texan Aguja formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian) matrix I got from PaleoTex. It was found with its roots still attached but unfortunately they've since broken off, however I've kept them in the same container so I don't lose track of them when I eventually try to reattach them. I'm confident it's a mammal tooth, and I think it's from a multituberculate. I'd be interested in reading some opinions on it and if it's possible to narrow down any ID, whether that be to order, family or genus level. It's about 2.5 mm in length and 2 mm in width.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to post my find of the day! I was working through some of the Lance fm. channel deposit conglomerate from this summer's trip out west and when I was taking a closer look a bone fragment I noticed what appeared to be the glint of enamel just below it. I proceeded to uncover more of it and realized it was a tiny mammal tooth. It ended up coming loose from the matrix and I had to set it lightly on a piece of white paper as to avoid losing the minute fossil. Through closer inspection with my loupe I found that it had a morphology similar to a multituberculate tooth (cimolodon or mesodma) that I had found in South Dakota's Hell Creek during my trip. I am very pleased to have found this as there are little opportunities for me to find new fossils in November. Additionally, this may be the smallest tooth of any animal in my collection, and I'm proud I spotted it instead of overlooking it. Some perspective with a U.S. Penny (yes I know, not a valid unit of measurement, but it was the closest thing I had at that moment).

I went back to a new spot on POC and found the typical array of broken shark teeth, a few Ptychodus teeth, and some interesting items I'm not really sure about. Anyone have an idea of what the item in pictures 6-8 are? What about 9-11 maybe coprolite or a fossilized crustacean? The item in pictures 12-14 appears to be a tooth but with no enamel I didn't think it was a shark tip. It could also just be a piece of bone or something. Sorry for the poor picture quality of that one but I will take better ones of it later. Im pretty sure picture 15 is a rudist and lastly the item in pictures 16-18 I think is just a coincidentally formed rock. The rest of the pictures are of some cool items like the shark or fish verts, the small fossilized crab claw, a broken piece of sawfish rostrum, and a few cool pieces of matrix with inclusions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.

Two teeth here. I think both are from the beach in Jacksonville Florida. Although, the first might have been from a phosphate mine. I can’t remember. They look like they might be canines?

Hey hey, all fossil enthusiasts! I found these pictures of a fossil, and got curious about what kind of mammal it is. Have read about ancient camels recently and maybe thought that it is maybe a Poebrotherium skull? I don't have to much knowledge about these kinds of fossils. But would like to get some tips about how to identify these kinds of camel fossils. And maybe also how to tell the fake ones from the real ones. Since I like that kind of "investigation". //Kutembea

Hi all, Something different for today. I discovered this vertebra in the surf at Matoaka Cabins roughly 2 years ago. For those of you that don’t know, the rocks here are Miocene in age and preserve a nearshore marine environment. Cetacean remains are common, but other mammals (esp terrestrial) are not. Originally I thought it was a turtle vert, but now I’ve realized that it’s mammalian and possibly terrestrial in origin. It passed the burn test, by the way. My thought is that it is from a small mammal’s tail, as it closely resembles other mammalian caudal vertebrae. I’ve included a diagram of the vertebrae of Phenacodus, which show marked similarity. It’s not from Phenacodus, though as the deposits are far too young. Does anyone have any ideas on a better or more specific id? I’m not well versed in Cenozoic mammals. Thanks in advance.
