Does anyone have a clue what this distal humerus came from? I found it in Pleistocene gravel in southeast Texas. From the limited images, I have found online I do not think it is bison. I’m leaning toward horse, but wondering if it could be tapir. I would appreciate any insights.

Hey, been a while, so i decided to start a new topic for the new year. Headed out on Thursday 25/01 to the river shores in Antwerp again. First hunt of the year since i've worked non-stop so far and a contractor is rebuilding our house.. It was great being out again so i was already pleased on beforehand, finding some nice teeth made it even better 😁 here's some in situ pics.. Rolled C. hastalis C. hastalis in excellent shape my first Parotodus benedeni ever, not in great shape but an awesome find anyway 😀 Finally a complete 6cm C. hastalis VID20240125131132.mp4 And some random mammal teeth Had a great first hunt of the year, and I already feel like going back! oh yeah, here's the whole lot cleaned up.. Surprised about how many different species i got covered this time 😄 Grtz, Dries

Below are two Pleistocene mammal teeth from "river gravels" in Florida. I have to further information on their age or locality, unfortunately. The left was merely identified as a "mammal tooth", and I strongly suspect it is from Trichechus manatus, but I have very little experience with mammal dentition and as such thought it would be best to check with someone with greater expertise in the field first. The right tooth was identified as a "peccary tooth", but given the fact that a number of tayassuids were present in Pleistocene Florida I wondered if the tooth could be identified to a genus, or better yet a species level. I will now take the liberty of "@ing in" a few people: @Harry Pristis and @Shellseeker Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's Othniel

1 more from the same location, a vertebra. Photos 1 & 2 are the front and back, while 3 & 4 show top and bottom. One end appears flat, while the other is crudely pointed. Axis vert? I was thinking small mammal. Thoughts? thanks!

Recently found this quite large and heavy (piece of) bone by the Schelde river shores in Antwerp, Belgium. Most pieces that wash up here are Mio/Pliocene but actually most Neogene layers are represented in the area as well as Pleistocene and more recent. I'm thinking whale because of the size, but honestly i don't have a clue. Measurements are 22cm x 10cm x 5cm thanks in advance! Dries

Hello, i have this still unlabled mammal tooth in my collection. I found it in Zaanse Schanz, Netherlands on a path named : de kwakels. Rigth next to the finding location is a sheep pasture, so its probably a modern sheep tooth.

One of the first teeth ive ever found wanted to make sure what it is. Found on the peace river right after hurricane Ian.

Hi, I found this fossil in our basement and I remember that we were told as kids that it’s a mammoth tooth but now I don’t think so. It was found in Belgium I believe.

Found this tooth on my last trip in a creek super small find but still curious on what it is. Found it near the peace river. My thoughts are that its mammal maybe tapir or deer.
-
Found this fossil in a creek during my last trip my guess is that its a whale tooth or some kind of tooth. But I was wondering if anyone knows what it is? Along with possibly how old it could be? I found it on a creek near the peace river.

This bone has been tucked away for years. Just waiting for a rainy day to seek out an id. All I know is that it was found in SE Texas Pleistocene river gravel. Looks like an ulna. I can safely rule out bison and horse. Don’t think it’s deer. I’m kinda leaning toward carnivore, but really not sure.

Hello everyone! I went to the beach yesterday, and came back with my first mammal fossil...maybe? It certainly feels like one, but I'm very new to this and am not sure what exactly it could be. The waves were just bringing it in when I spotted it. It was found in Northeast Florida. My understanding is that fossilized horse teeth are pretty common, so that would be my best guess. But when I look up images of fossilized horse teeth, most of them have a very rectangular shape, some with a slight curve to them. Could it be a tooth from a different mammal, or maybe even something completely different? I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. Thanks!

Hello Everyone, we are looking for help in identifying a fossilized tooth that was found in deposits dated back to the miocen-badenian age in Poland, Europe. That site is knows from Gigantopecten mussels fossils and Carcharias, Galeocerdo, Diplodus fish teeth but such tooth has never been found there before. Thank you for any identification ideas.

My boyfriend dredged the Pacific Ocean for a living. This vertebra was scooped up off the ocean floor. It has barnacles on it. What animal could it be from?

Next grouping is mammal teeth! Hoping to get confirmation on these few; my others are quite similar, so once labels are confirmed I can positively identify the rest, as well. I will divide this into multiple posts - 1 per tooth - to hopefully make it easier to read. 1. camelid? Palaeolama mirifica

Bones and a bonus scale(?) ID, Peace River, Florida 26/12/23
citronkitten posted a topic in Fossil ID
Back again! It's too much fun figuring things out. I'm running out of shadowboxes, though, so will have to wait before tackling my next batch. 1. 2x unknown metacarpals/metatarsals as identified by our guide. Both are 'spongy'. -
Hey, i got some mammal teeth ID vibe going thx to @citronkitten's post. I'm kinda in the dark about these two teeth. As they wash up on the Schelde river shores in Antwerp i'm not sure on their age tho. Both look like front teeth to me. 1. 2,9cm x 1,3cm x 0,8cm 2. 2,6cm x 0,8cm x 0,6cm Thx in advance!

Hi Everyone, I went fossil hunting last weekend on the Norfolk coast, UK. A long walk up and down the beach of Happisburgh. Well known for its Ice Age mammal finds. I found a few different pieces, but this one in particular caught my eye. It's been rolled around in the surf somewhat, but I was hoping someone might be able to ID this for me? Because it does retain some shape still, it kind of looked like the end of a femur or tibia? But it does also resemble an ankle bone from a large animal, possibly Mammoth, Rhino or Bison? What do we think? Thanks in Advance, Jim.
