We found this near Turtle River State Park outside of Grand Forks, ND. I'm thinking it's a Buffalo, Bison, or Cow molar but I'm unsure with the black.

I know nothing about this item. I am a science teacher and hate that I can't answer most questions about it. Longer side is 25 cm. Weighs 2.5 kg. I appreciate any help. I posted this a few weeks ago, but have never found it. Should I clean it? Is it in good condition?

Hello everyone, I went to visit family this past week in Gilmer County, West Virginia and found these mammal teeth in a creek. They were found pretty close to each other, which makes me wonder if they were from the same animal. They appear to be old, but I don’t think they are completely mineralized. They remind me a lot of the bison teeth I find down in Peace River, FL, but this is weird considering there are no cow or buffalo farms very close to the area I found these (that I know of). Anyone have any idea what these are, why they’re here, and how old they could be?

Found on a rive gravel bar in southern Minnesota. Sediments in the area include glacial till deposits over cretaceous sea mudstone and sandstones. I know its the third molar but the small size caught my attention. Could it be from an ancient/paleo horse?

I was on a hike with my boyfriend yesterday along a lake in Central Alberta, Canada when we came across this bone in the river. I know some of the discourse of using the stylid as an identification tool to differentiate between cows and bison but I can’t seem to figure this one out! Please let me know!

I found this bone/tooth in a creek, here in SW, MS. I was wondering if anyone could ID this piece?
-
Is this a Cows Tooth? If so, what part, and is it old or modern.

I know, not old enough to be a fossil yet. Found in West Bend in the river where I have found dozens of teeth and bones, possibly downstream from a slaughter site. This is my largest so far and my first guess is a bison. My problem is the larger size.... I am so far East of the Mississippi that only the smaller subspecies of Bison are supposed to have been here. It would seem too small to be a ground sloth or tapir or is there something else I'm not aware of?

This is a creek find from SW, MS. It was found amongst other types of teeth. It appears the tip has broken off. Can anyone please identify it. Help is appreciated. Thanks in return.

Hi all! I found this bone on the Gulf of Mexico, near Gasparilla island amongst some shells on the beach. It is white and smooth and I think it might be a molar, but to what? A manatee? A dolphin? I think it's pretty recent its white and sun bleached. Thanks for your help!

Good day on Peace River yesterday…did I find what I think I found? I’m sure I did, but I’ve also been sure before thanks in advance!

Hello! I found this fossil in the Aurora Phosphate Mine Dig Pits in North Carolina. The dirt is pulled from the Miocene layer. Wondering is anyone can identity! Thank you!

Just found this, I think my horse might have uncovered it. We're not sure what it is, but from looking online it might be some kind of worn molar, but not from a horse or cow, but what? On one side it looks like it had been broken at one time, but it's all pretty smooth, no jagged edges. There's a lot of clay in the area & not even sure if it's a fossil or not? Thanks for the help!

Greetings, First post here, and I'm at a loss trying to identify this (suspected) fossil. I found this a few days ago on Zandmotor beach, in Monster in The Netherlands. On first glance it appears to be a molar, but it looks very different from the Pleistocene material that Zandmotor beach is known for. I've never seen a molar inside a matrix like this one. Some have suggested that it's just a rock, or maybe a piece of limonite. I realise that this specimen looks completely different from other fossil material found at Zandmotor beach, but I'm still positive that this is some kind of fossil. Personally I think it's part of a molar inside a matrix, maybe flint? Someone suggested a sea urchin instead of a molar, which might make sense. Older than Pleistocene considering the level of mineralisation. Picture 1 - 4 show various view of the specimen, with what appears to be part of the crown, and the mold of a root (cast still present at the base of the root (part closest to the crown). Picture 5 shows a second root. Picture 6 - 9 are close-ups of this root, plus a mold of a third root. It appears that some enamel still lines the second root and the inside of the cast. I find it hard to believe that is 'just a rock' or a bit of limonite. If so, it's trying pretty hard to look like something else. What are your views? I would be very grateful if you can help me! PS: Let me know if any additional photographs are needed.

This unknown partial jaw and molars came from a box of rocks at a garage sale in Minnesota. Scale is metric. My SWAG is a smaller sized Oreodont?

What does this tooth belong to? Found along the Mississippi River in southwest Illinois.
Raistlin posted a topic in Fossil ID
Like the title says. It was found along the river on a gravel/sand bar. It's Mammals and heavy so definitely mineralized.

I found this fossilized tooth in/near/around the Arkansas River in Oklahoma over the weekend. I’m having trouble finding a match for it online in order to ID it myself. I was hoping someone from this group could help. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello there! I found this on a beach in South Carolina and was questioning how closely it resembled a human tooth? That or maybe a manatee? I could use a hand it figuring out what creature this tooth came from. Thanks in advance for any and all information!

Hello again everyone! I found this on a beach in South Carolina and couldn't figure out what kind of (if at all) tooth this is? Any information would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone, We came across another mammal molar in our sifter this weekend. This one is pretty interesting looking and we’re looking for some more help on an ID. Thanks, John

I don't find many land mammal teeth, so I haven't learned them yet. Found this one yesterday near Summerville in a creek that has Oligocene, Miocene and I believe Pleistocene layers in the banks. Tooth is 17mm side to side x 8mm thick. Looking on the forum (and @Harry Pristis's awesome tooth and jaw gallery), I'm guessing camelid m3, but I could be wrong. Thank you!

I'm trying to identify this molar. I'm not even sure if it is a fossil. It has a pearlescent color exterior.

Found these recently on the Wekiva River in Central Florida. Would love to know if these are molars/teeth and if so, what did they belong to? Quarter used for size reference. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I found some fossil teeth on a friends ranch in Eastern Oregon and was hoping for some help with ID. The area has been described as Mascall Formation (16 Ma) from the Miocene, however there aren't any detailed geologic maps of the region and I suspect some areas may be closer to the Pliocene. The teeth were found as float material from several places. I think #1 or #2 may be Merychippus or Pliohippus (horses) and #4 may be Equus (horse). #1-3 were all found in the same general area and I am fairly confident it is Mascall Fm (Miocene). However, #4 was found in another area and appears to be Equus. Since Equus is from the Pliocene, I am thinking it could be from the younger (Pliocene) Rattlesnake Fm or an undescribed strata. I am a little more unsure about #3 and think I could be a rhino or similar large mammal. Thank you for your help,
