Hi guys! I recently acquired this beauty from someone who had absolutely no idea what it was (he knew it was fossil mammal bone from the Pleistocene but that's it). It's from Peace River in Florida. measures about 9 x 4 x 4 inches. My best guess is giant ground sloth tibia, but I don't know for sure and would really appreciate a second opinion before I label it something that awesome. Thanks! Jacob

So I picked up a small piece in the sandy, South Texas Pleistocene gravel the other day because it looked like there might have been some tooth enamel, but it was so covered in a sandstone matrix that I wasn't sure what it might be. The sandstone wouldn't come off with water, but when I dipped it in vinegar last night, it started to melt away. I pulled it out quickly and rinsed it with water and realized it looks like a set of top and bottom front teeth. Maybe rat? My problem is this: the matrix is hiding a lot of detail here, and I'd ideally like to clean it off completely. But it may also be the only thing holding the upper and lower halves together. Any suggestions?

Days in caves - Pleistocene fossils hunting - Southeast Asia
vietnamfossil posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone! This thread is dedicated to our Southeast asis fossil cave adventures and finds. One of the important sites for the Stegodon - Pongo - Ailuropoda fauna of the Pleistocene. This not only just fossils but also the Paleolithic and Neolithic found. Following this and I wil explain more experiment on IDyng the cave fossils and some basic things to know the age of them. Hope you guys enjoy it! This is my first trip in North Viet Nm. Cave entrance (usually Pleistocene cave have very small entrance) Just 15 minutes and I discovered a hominid tooth. It not my first time but I really love that moments. I use to found mammals before but just normal deer fossils. Looking for fossils into these cave deposites and cave breccia is not easy

Lovely day, good friend, interesting finds. 1st of three. A small tooth. To me, this has the shape of marine mammal or alligator, more likely first based on enamel. No horizontal banding means not whale, but could be dolphin. However a very odd root core. 2nd up is an enamel cap. In mammal tooth development, the enamel forms first, followed by the root. In the event of death, the root is never added. These are rare. Possibly based on cap ridges, a slight preference for Hemiauchenia macrocephalus or Hemiauchenia gracilis. Comments appreciated. Finally, the 3rd is a tiny bone.. I am thinking turtle. @Plantguy might be able to confirm or eliminate. This one is 13 mm in length and 10 mm wide

Hey all! I have some peace river mammal teeth I’m looking for help with. I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself can find something with these teeth. I know a couple aren’t great but hoping for the best! Thanks all! 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) The root on this one is super cool, seems like a wide root!

Like I said in my last post in this section of the forum about a turtle nuchal element, I've spent some time hunting the Colorado River here in southeastern Texas since my usual go-to spots on the Brazos have been completely submerged for months from all the rain we've been getting this summer. Fortunately, it's paid off with some unusual finds that, if my hunches are correct, aren't anything like what I normally find. These two teeth in particular were found within inches of each other close to the water's edge, however, I don't think they're associated based on the difference in preservation and enamel coloration. My initial guess was bison for the tooth still lodged in a fragment of jawbone, and deer for the other. It wasn't until I started searching for comparison images in Hulbert's excellent Fossil Vertebrates of Florida and on the forum that I realized I was probably wrong. The isolated tooth is (as far as I can tell) much too large to be deer, and the tooth in the jawbone, while superficially resembling bison teeth in the raised enamel on its occlusal surface, is shaped differently from the more common bison teeth that I've gotten ahold of in the past. So my current tentative ID is camelid, either camel or llama. If I'm right, I'd be incredibly excited - I've always been more interested in the more bizarre megafauna that used to live in Texas during the last ice age. I'd be grateful if anyone can be of any help in either confirming or providing new IDs for these two. * The length of the occlusal surface for the second tooth is 2.10 cm.

Hey ya'll I found what I suspect to be a mammalian carnivore (or omnivore) tooth today - it's fossilized, so it ought to be from the Pleistocene, but I found it while hunting cretaceous fossils in Austin (central texas). It's still embedded in the jaw bone. Based on a few brief images from google, I have an outlandish suspicion of what it might be - but I'll leave the actual ID to you guys

Despite how common they seem to be in places like Florida's Pleistocene deposits, I've never been able to find a complete turtle nuchal bone here in Texas's similarly aged formations until just this last week. Unlike almost all of my other Pleistocene finds which have come from the stretch of the Brazos River closest to Houston, this one is from the adjacent and much smaller Colorado River. Since the Brazos has been high all summer due to the extreme amounts of rain we've gotten this year I decided to try out some nearby locales and they did not disappoint. I've got a couple more posts to make in the ID section of the forum after this one since there's a good amount of stuff I can't seem to attach any solid names to, so bear with me. I've been referencing some of the excellent photos provided by @Harry Pristis the last time I made a post like this in this thread here: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/106885-turtle-nuchal-bone/ Fortunately, this time the bone in question is more than just 50% complete, so a species or genus ID should be easier to achieve. Hopefully some of the forum's resident experts on Pleistocene material from the southern US can be of some help in identifying which particular turtle this is: @Shellseeker @garyc @darrow

My friend gave me these tooth. The information that I got is they are from Pleistocene of Florida. But not ID for the species. I just wonder are these belong to beaver, giant beaver or giant capybara because all of them have fossil in Florida land. thank for reading!

I’m looking to trade some of my fossils for some new mammal material. Interested in carnivores, megafauna (focus on sloths but everything is of interest), titanothere fossils, but I’m willing to hear any mammal offer. Primarily interested in trading for teeth but always interested in hearing others too! Will provide any further pictures requested for interested people! Pretty little Chub, I don’t have any locality info on it but it is a nice little guy. 1.72” Attractive little Low Country Meg. 2.13”. Some Pleistocene armadillo scutes and turtle spurs. The scutes are from Texas, the Spurs are from Florida. Largest spur is about 1.5” across, largest scute is 2.33” long. Really nice group of Cretaceous Gar scales from Hell Creek. Many sizes and colors here! Mix of Cretaceous Shark Teeth from Texas. Nice colorful little bunch in a floating frame case. Largest tooth is .81”.
