    Small Predator Phalanx

    Out to a location that is 90% marine fossils and 10% mammal. Mammal finds tend to be Late Miocene_ early Pliocene. Most mammal finds are "distressed". Smaller survives better than bigger and I see many fragments like the one below. At this size, almost certainly Tridactyl horse, but species identification impossible. My find of the day is a Tridactyl Horse Incisor. This is actually in great condition although the root area is damaged. On previous hunts, I have found 5 mm incisors of Nannippus aztecus, a very small horse. This likely from a larger cousin. The fossil I am trying to identify looks like a medial phalanx, either raptor or predator. I hope some of our members can differentiate. I will be trying to find a Pleistocene phalanx that looks like this one, regardless of size. This one is 21 mm in length. As always, I appreciate any and all comments. Jack x

    Dire wolf tooth?

    Got this one in the creek Sunday, from size I'm thinking (hoping) that it's dire wolf. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Dolphin tooth?

    When I was out hunting yesterday I found this fossil, I believe it is dolphin but I just want to make sure. (It's just over 1.5 cm)

    Can anyone identify this jaw?

    I found this lower right jaw bone exposed on the bed of a creek in north central florida. It appears to be from an extinct canine species, but I am unsure and figured someone on here probably has more knowledge than I do on what it could be. Measurements are 7 cm in height at the tallest point, almost 15 cm in length, and 1 cm in thickness. There is one molar missing, and the incisors at the front are missing as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Three tooth fossils

    These teeth fossils are from an auction Lot and sadly they have been battered around - the curved tooth has had the tip recently broken (and lost!) and another has been snapped. The vendor knows nothing about them, he bought them as part of a large mixed pot of other stuff. The curved tooth has beautiful serrations on both the inner and outer edge. The other two teeth have a ridge running down the inner and outer edge. I love the form and ‘sculpting’ of them, but fossil teeth aren’t my thing. Any ideas?

    Unknown fossil from bolivia

    Hello y’all . I have no idea what this is . All I know is that it came from Bolivia given by my uncle when I was small . I drew a sketch since it’s hard to connect the pictures of a sphere into something flat. I would appreciate any input .

    2nd of 3 Toe bones

    Out today with a couple of friends to a Miocene site. Very few Pleistocene fossils found here. I have found similar toebones before. I believe that this is a proximal phalanx from a small cat. It is 31.75 mm (1.25 Inch) in length.

    Small Predator Astragalus

    I went hunting yesterday and after a week off. Summer hunting is different, 98% of the Peace River is way too deep to hunt without scuba equipment. The Mosquitos swarm you, more in the woods, but also when you are in the river. The Results are generally not up to in season standards. I tend to find some different fossils on a summer hunting trip and this fit that pattern. Top right are tilly bones, more than normal. Lower left has some ray mouth plates not broken into single or half single teeth. That is a juvenile dugong vert, the best I have found at this size. A sawfish rostral tooth under it, and also a fragment of a giant Armadillo jaw. There are a few items that I kept because they are different from what I normally see. Late in the day, I found a small (20 mm) astragulas but I did not know which predator. A couple of closeups on the Astragalus. At this size we are thinking about coyote, otter, raccoon, bobcat... Here is a comparison to Bobcat that makes me think I am in the right ballpark, but I need some of TFF members who have found and identified predator Astragalus fossils to tell me what they think... Thanks

    Found in Peace River 2

    Found this tooth and Peace River would like to know what it's from
  10. This fossil comes from Richards Spur and it is Permian. I think it's a coprolite with a bone bitten by the predator that the coprolite belongs to, but I'm not very sure. What do you think about it? Thank you.
  11. Dr. Hone and Holtz take an objective look at Spinosaurus has an aquatic predator. Gotta love it, another view, excellent read. From Abstract: "Here we assess the arguments about the functional morphology of this animal and the available data on its ecology and possible habits in the light of these new finds. We conclude that based on the available data, the degree of adaptations for aquatic life are questionable, other interpretations for the tail fin and other features are supported (e.g., socio-sexual signalling), and the pursuit predation hypothesis for Spinosaurus as a “highly specialized aquatic predator” is not supported. In contrast, a ‘wading’ model for an animal that predominantly fished from shorelines or within shallow waters is not contradicted by any line of evidence and is well supported. Spinosaurus almost certainly fed primarily from the water and may have swum, but there is no evidence that it was a specialised aquatic pursuit predator." https://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2021/3219-the-ecology-of-spinosaurus

    Predator tooth

    A very interesting tooth. As you know, the fossil layers in Florida are generally jumbled over time, leading to the frequent occurrence of finding million year old fossils, right next to fossils from 10000 years ago and even non_fossils from 100 years ago. This fact adds greatly to the difficulty of identifying any specific fossil. One of many fossil layers I hunt dates back to 12 mya. This find came from that layer. It is a predator tooth used for shearing meat off of bone. Size is occlusal length 17.6 x width 8.3 x H 26.7 mm, putting it in the range of Canis latrans or Puma concolor. As we start, I am never sure that we will get an identification. However, we can narrow the possibilities. What is the Genus? What is the tooth position? Upper/Lower, right/left, p2,P3,p4,M1,m2, etc Note that Photo #2 wear pattern seems to lean to the side, rather then up/down. It that pathological or normal for the species? I appreciate any/all help in this identification....

    Predator Canine

    64 mm Canine. I keep flip_flopping. Wolf, Bear, Jaguar are the likely candidates.

    SMALL teeth but not micro

    I have recently found dugong, whale, and dolphin ribs. Hunting friend gave me a tiny rib that we both thought might be dolphin. He is NOT a bone collector. I found a small dolphin tooth. It is 13mm. How small do these get? and then a predator tooth. I will just leave the photos, and request comments and identifications.
  15. Found near the original Burgess shale, this relative of anamalocaris probably fed in bottom sediments https://m.phys.org/news/2019-07-voracious-cambrian-predator-cambroraster-species.html

    Exciting Phalanx

    If this is what I think it is... it's rare and exciting. This fossil is a phalanx (a toe bone at the end of the foot) . I have mis_identified very similar bones as predator in the past, so I ask for help . @Harry Pristis For anyone new to fossil toe bones, refer to the analysis and fantastic photos in this TFF thread: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/83952-toe-bone-possible-predator/
