Is it possible to identify these two teeth? IMHO they could be from the same genus, but I am not sure. Scale in mm (cm). Western Ukraine. (Cretaceus-Neogene)

Hi everyone, just came across this site trying to figure out what I just found. Discovered in the salt water in Chatham, MA, US. I have no clue whether this is current or ancient, terrestrial or marine, etc. You can see the next set of teeth still in the bone. It's about 10 cm long, and the largest tooth is about 1 cm wide.

Found this lot of Abelisaurus Teeth What’s everyone think? Nice or not?

These two fossils I picked up a few years back from Breezy Point Beach MD. I have a good handful of toothed whale/dolphin teeth from that particular beach, but the main thing that sets these two apart from the others is how big they are. I was wondering if they might possibly be from something other than a porpoise. The left one has a clear sign of it being broken, I tried to get a better image of the split in the third image. I understand if they're too damaged to get any definite identifications considering how broken they are. but if anyone has a good hunch I'd absolutely appreciate it.

I was back on the river yesterday. Got to the launch site by 7:30 am and before I could get out of the jeep another person pulled up. They were going fishing from the bank so no competition. Loaded the kayak and headed out with the water level down even further. You can see from the following photos the various levels of the banks being uncovered as the water level drops - In this next photo look at the "water mark" on the trees on the bank to get a sense of how deep the river is during the rainy season. The next photo is out of focus (partially caused by the drifting kayak) but I included it because I like the twisted trunk. I'll be surprised if the tree survives through the summer. I think it is going to wind up falling into the river. Those are the photos of the paddle trip to the dig site. I tried to capture a great blue heron that was leading me down the river. Every time I got just about close enough to take a picture it flew off and landed a few hundred yards ahead of me. I never got a reasonable shot of it. When I got to my spot it was obvious someone had been working the area since my last visit. With the number of partial meg teeth I had been finding I wanted to keep working the area thinking there must be a full one down there somewhere. I didn't have any luck with that and there were no really big finds for the day. I was happy to have a day on the river and did come up with several things that made the trip worth it. A nicely formed and complete giant tortoise spur was one of my favorites. Also found a nice tilly bone, partial dolphin periotic, possible claw, possible whale tooth, what I think is a glyptotherium osteoderm, eagle ray barb, a small partial horse tooth, unk fish vert and various other shark teeth. Picture of the best of the day - I will post additional photos of what I think are the claw and whale tooth in the ID section for help. I have a tough time with the small whale teeth IDs. I headed back earlier than usual as the old back muscles ain't what they used to be. I was digging deeper and bending over further to use the sifter with the water so low. Getting back I was surprised to find at least five other vehicles and several people at the spot I launched from. Never saw more than one other car there before. As I approached the area I saw slices of bread floating down the river, it looked like somebody dumped a whole loaf in. Don't know if this was accidental or an attempt to feed some of the wildlife. Anyway, there were three people fishing from one of the spots folks usually launch at. I got out at my regular spot and as I did I saw two young girls floating in an inner tube nearby. After getting out and preparing to leave a family of five emerged from a wooded area north of me carrying all their beach gear. I guess everyone who can is visiting the river in areas outside of state and county parks and beaches. Even with these folks there it was easy to keep a safe distance from all. I will head back in a few days, but haven't decided where I will launch from. I do want to avoid other people as much as I can.

Hello! Help with identification if possible. Scale in cm (mm). Western Ukraine. (Cretaceus-Neogene) Thanks!

Hi everyone, My son and I were lucky enough to get out in the Potomac before Maryland and Virginia issued stay-at-home orders. Guess our hunting is on hold for the time being. It was a beautiful spring day. The wind kicked up late and kind of nullified low tide, but quite enjoyable anyway. I though I’d share a few pictures. I included a closer shot of 2 types of teeth we had not found there before. They look more like Miocene finds from the Calvert Cliffs area. I also included what I think is a vertebra and a few interesting teeth from a trip last week.

So...my daughter, budding paleontologist, purchased these via online as fossil tidbits and teeth. Have we been had?

After spending a great deal of time in the house lately do to COVID and days and days of rain, I took the family on a nice leisurely walk to our favorite hunting spot on this beautiful North Texas day. While the kids wwere off collecting some beautiful Turitellas and oysters, I had only one thing on the mind, shark teeth. Cretalamna seems to dominate this site, however some large Cretodus semiplicatus have been found. A Ptychodus latissimus and 2 Plesiosaur teeth have also been found at the site, filling us with hope on each trip for an incredible find. The trip was a pretty good haul, 11 teeth found in 2 hours. Not bad for a nice family outing. The real highlight though were 2 shark verebrae (about the size of a bottle cap), not large, but still my first ones I've ever found which put me over the moon. They were found just a few feet away from each other, so odds are they belonged to the same critter which is even more incredible! And now it's time for everyone's favorite game, FIND THAT FOSSIL!

Late Cretaceous mammal fossils from North America
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Could someone help me find PDFs of scientific papers about mammal fossils from the Campanian-Maastrichtian of North America? I'm specifically interested in papers that deal with mammal faunas from the Hell Creek Formation, the Lance Formation and the Dinosaur Park Formation... Thanks for any help Christian -
Hello, I am currently re-sorting my collection and this brings up some questions about some modern shark teeth. For example, I found two teeth of this appearance. At first glance, I would suspect a Carcharhinus species (like C. falcifromis, but the teeth look different) , but I don't know which. Unfortunately, I don't find any comparable teeth in the Internet. Even if this isn't a fossil this time, I hope that you can help me again. The tooth is 1,3cm (0,51") in size and from the philippines. Best regards from Germany!

Hello, in the Internet I saw an offer that was declared as "Gulper shark" for sale. After some research, this cannot be true and in my opinion it would be the jaw of a kitefin shark. I tried to put everything from the offer on one sheet so that it would be easier for you to help me. What do you think, which shark does this jaw belong to? The jaw is about 10cm wide and from Spain (Mediterranean Sea or Atlantic ocean) Thank you in advance and best regards from Germany. I hope, you can help me with this.

Found by my buddy on a river gravel bar/bank in southern Minnesota. As I've stated in some previous posts the geology in our area is upper Cretaceous. However, the river where this specimen was found pulse floods and is like a giant gravel mixer. In the past and more recently Pleistocene fossils have been found in the river gravel deposits in my area (mammoth, bison, etc). It general it is very difficult to age by geology/context. I'm hoping ancient horse but more sets of eyes on it are better. What do you think and thanks!? Any thoughts on age? Ancient horse or not?

Found this in my front garden today and it feels like flint but looks like a tooth of some sort

Reading an ID topic today by none other than @Ruger9a I was realizing how little love the herbivore teeth get sometimes. Personally I love herbivore teeth, especially proboscideans (although I don't have many). So I thought I'd start a topic to show off your underappreciated plant eaters. Note: all herbivores are welcome, not just proboscideans, and not just mammals. Have fun with it!

On my last trip to Gardner (Peace River, Bone Valley member, Hawthorn group, Hardee County, Florida), I found these small Pleistocene mammal/vertebrate teeth. Even when these are pristine, I have difficulty with them because they all look so similar. Some of these are pretty worn, so ID might be impossible. I tried to snap good photos of the crowns to show the distinctive "squiggles". Can anyone ID these? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I compared them against photos of previous teeth I have found, but I couldn't come up with anything. Three more, with one oddball on the end :

I recently purchased a small lot of Bull Canyon Formation, New Mexico teeth, most of which were Phytosaurid. Then i noticed this tooth and how eerily similar it is too Pterosaur teeth from Morocco. From what i've read, there have been documented Eudimorphodon fossils collected from the Chinle Group, however i cannot find pictures for comparison. The closest teeth i can find from New Mexico are Preondactylus and Peteinosaurus teeth that have been put up for sale on multiple websites, though the information provided with them is unhelpful. I've included a photo of the "front", "back" and a side profile of the tooth. If clearer photos are needed to assist with identification, i can get some taken and uploaded.

Hello, I've put teeth here for Id a couple of times and always received a satisfactory answer. I hope you can help me this time too. It is about this Ceratopsidae tooth from the Niobrara Formationn (Wyoming). Unfortunately no fossils of this group are known from this formation and I therefore wanted to ask you if you have any idea what species of dinosaurs the tooth could belong to. The tooth is 1,5cm in size. I hope if you can help me with this! Best regards from Germany!

Dear all, I would like to submit three artifacts from the Big Brook site that some of you know so well. 1) The first is most likely a concretion. however, on one side, there is a regular cut with a circular end section. I have no particular idea. 2) The second artifact could be a theropod tooth, with a elliptical cross-section. In this hypothesis we distinguish quite clearly the crown base at the cervix, with the dentine layer. On another image, we can see worn denticles in (presumed) mesial view, but the outermost enamel layer is very corroded and the dental layer is missing in some places. 3) Tooth fragment (?). If so, note the pulp cavity (?) Thank you all for your invaluable comments. I am of course at your disposal for other photographs. Best, Sancerre

Hello everybody, I recently acquired these three beautiful teeth from the Bissekty formation. The seller wasn't sure about the ID. I think they may be crocodilomorphs teeth based on the geometry. I did some research and I found that in the Bissekty formation there are at least four different crocodilomorphs. Can anyone help me better identifying these teeth.
