This is a tooth fragment I'm thinking of buying, and it's advertised as gomphothere. But it also looks mastodon to me. Thoughts?
-
Would love some help identifying this tooth. Found at a local riverside park near Castle Rock Washington. Thanks so much!

Found this little guy in the two medicine formation of north central Montana. What animal has very similar molars to humans? It looks like a lower molar - or is it a concretion molar? Ideas? Thanks for any info.

This is a Florida beach fossil from near Fort Pierce. The cap is about 13/16 inches long. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I found these a few months ago at Happisburgh. I'm hoping the black orange bit is a mammoth tooth fragment. I also found this grey rock, I've tried to look online but can't find anything similar looking to work out what it is. Many thanks.

This is my first post and thank you for your time. My wife found this yesterday in the hawthorn formation and we thought it might be a unerupted dugong molar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have multiple pictures to post but it will only let me post two so the size of the tooth at its widest point is 0.84".

Is this molar found in Peace River gravel matrix from a raccoon? After looking at a lot of pictures, it looks like a lower tooth, an m-2. Is this correct? @Harry Pristis Thanks for looking.

Hi all. I found this in green mill run in Greenville NC. I don't know what it is but since it has the same enamel look of a tooth I kept it. I hope there is enough of it there for someone to have an idea of what it is! In inches it is about 1.25 and centimeters 3.175. Thank you very much!!

Hi, not too long ago I went to East Runton and Happisburgh in the hopes of finding some fossils, whilst the best time to go is winter, I was happy going in Summer. Apparently, fragmentary Mammoth molars are found commonly at Happisburgh during winter months. I found possibly two bits of mammal bones, possible fossils shells (one was in the clay cliff) and an orange belemnite. Is it possible to identify the bits of bone, or are they too small? Possible fossil shells Possible bits of bone. The top bit split when I picked it up, unfortunately the split bit then split, so that's just drying now after being glued. Orange belemnite

Hey guys, Around 2.5 years ago I found this tooth in the Santa Fe River in Florida, which is Pleistocene. I previously IDed it as a bison premolar (Bison antiquus), but looking back I am now less convinced by that ID. The chewing surface seems off, and seen from the top it seems a little too 'rectangular'. Due to its relatively small size, if it is indeed bison, could it possibly be a juvenile (hence explaining why it looks a bit different from normal bison teeth)? What do you guys think? I can provide more angles if necessary. Thanks in advance, Max

My son found this while on Boy Scout canoe trip on the Buffalo River in Newton Co., Arkansas. (6-2-20) Found in a river bed. Some type of molar tooth?
-
I almost didn’t realize this was a tooth until I polished it with a magic eraser because the algae was so think. I found it in Florida. Any thoughts?

My dad collection of Indian artifacts Crystal's and all kinds of other things was passed to me when he passed. And there was this tooth I been tryin to find out what animal it belongs to and I was lead to this site. I know it's a molar and by what Google says it's a mammals. Can someone help me find what mammal it is?

Most times when hunting, I find fossils that I know, and very few unknowns. In rare instances, I am finding multiple fossils that I do not recognize immediately. I usually pay far more attention to the far more stunning fossils, and ignore those I "think" I know or those that are just "odd". I mis_identified this 1st entry as a juvenile tapir tooth. Here is an opportunity to ID this fossil before @Harry Pristis sees this post. Harry has a gallery photo that highlights this 14-15 mm Florida Fossil. I wanted to point out how easy it is, even for the experienced fossil hunter to get it wrong. On the same day, I picked up this fossil, almost tossed it, and then thought "unusual texture", and toss it into the collection bag. I do not know what it is... but now I am thinking claw. There seems to be a slight "connecting "ring" on photos 1 and 2, and some wear on the tip in photo #3. Originally thought some type of deer tine. As always, suggestions & comments greatly appreciated. Jack

Hello everybody, So, a friend of mine gifted me a mammoth molar he's had for sometime now (he's not into fossils, got it himself from somebody else). The molar was found a long time ago, is as it was found (not stabilized), and in 3 pieces. 2 of them fit nicely together, one seems to be missing some smaller bits but could still go glued together. The molar itself is pretty stable, while there are occasional exterior pieces falling it is not a very fast degradation, but still, i would like to stabilize it. Somebody gave me a quick hint that i could use epoxy to glue the pieces together and then soak the mammoth molar into a solution of watered PVA glue, so that i can get into every hole and stop the degradation process. I was hoping some of you guys might give me a bit of a more detailed approach to this. Mostly, i am interested what is the ratio between the PVA glue and the water in the watered PVA glue solution and how much should i leave it soaked in it. Also, in case you guys know of an alternative stabilization method i am open to suggestions. I also attached some pictures of the tooth in question. Thank you very much!

Found a tooth walking along the gravel/sandbars of a creek in central Iowa (Des Moines lobe) and came across the tooth on the right. I was surprised to find both these jaws about 1,000 ft apart and a mile downstream. I assumed they were the source, but looks like the loose tooth may be an upper (it's larger) and both these jaws seem to be full. The teeth don't seem to match up symmetrically either, making me think it might be different individuals. Modern and ancient bison remains are pretty commonly found here (the former being extirpated ~100 years ago), but I figure cows are just common enough to confound things. They seem to have the stylids I read about, but I can't tell if they are strong/prominent enough to be Bison. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all! I'm hoping for some insight. I found two mammal teeth at GMR today and I am not 100% sure what they are. I was thinking peccary or deer. Assistance is appreciated.

I found this on Topsail Island the other day. I know some people have found horse teeth on the beach so curious if this is a broken one. Looks like a molar.

Hi, Can anyone shed some light on what kind of fossilized tooth this is? I got it at an estate sale in Northern Colorado. It is 2.5 inches in length. Thank you in advance for your consideration and time!

I’d like to apologise firstly in case my item shouldn’t be on this site as I doubt it qualifies as a fossil. This tooth was sticking out of the ground in my back garden in Worthing, South East England. I’m hoping someone might be able to help me identify it as I can find nothing on the net that looks similar and my children and I would like to know what may have been lurking in our garden in years gone by. As shown in the photos, the tooth is 25mm x 12mm x 12mm and has a strange array of serrations and points. The tooth has a hollow back with no root so I’m guessing it’s a milk tooth.

A friend of mine went fishing at this location. He found an object that he wanted me to identified. To the best of my research, I have discovered that this is a possible horse tooth (3L Molar) and it is fossilized. I am guessing it could be 16 - 18 million years old. I would love to hear more from you guys on this.

Hi There, Picked up this tooth fragment while sifting on the Savannah river. The sifter always seems to pull up cool stuff. First time in a long time that I brought out the heavier gear and my arms were dying by the end of the day. It looks too robust for a tapir tooth (?) and the chewing surfaces (what is left of them) feels off. I know the fauna is similar in the Florida Peace river. This would be Pliocene-Pleistocene @digit @Shellseeker does this strike your fancy right off as something recognizable. It may be too much of a fragment. Thanks, Brett
