Found this yesterday while hunting with the family, in Big Brook. Can't tell if it's Croc, Mosasaurus, or something else. I forgot to include a ruler in the pictures, but the fragment is about 5 inches in length. Any help on how to safely remove the green sand stuck to it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Found these teeth today in Dorset but the transportation box split open and mixed with the hammers! There are two teeth but are jumbled up. Any suggestions? I am going to try to superglue them together again but I’m not sure which belongs to which and may be missing pieces. Thanks in advance. I think they are both hybodontidiform shark.

Hello! I’m a new member from NC. I’m a fossil novice but look forward to learning! These fossils were found in shell piles at the high tide line at Ocean Isle Beach - a small island on the southern coastline of North Carolina. I think these are teeth but I can’t find any similar teeth online. Any help with identification is greatly appreciated!

Ok so today I went shark tooth hunting and I came across what to me looks like a tusk or horn of some sort. I honestly have no clue. Anyone else know what this might be? They’re about the size of a penny.

Hello All, Found this forum while trying to locate resources to ID these two teeth that were found in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last week. I had great luck last week and found numerous teeth, including several nice great white teeth and a cow shark tooth. Both of the teeth in question here were found on the beach: one in a shell pile, and the other in the surf zone. I have tried to provide multiple picture angles, but using my phone the image quality is not the greatest. Hopefully, at least a few of the pictures are good enough to provide enough clues to what these teeth are from. Looks like I do not have room to post the additional photos of the teeth next to a size scale. I took many photos but deleted most because of very poor image quality. Here are the teeth measurements: Tooth 1 (blue/serrated): 2.2cm long by 2cm wide (at the root) Tooth 2 (dark blown/black color, worn): 1.5cm long by 1.4 cm wide Happy to answer any questions about these teeth. Just to elaborate a bit more if the images don't show it enough: Tooth 1 has significant curvature of the top of the root and even some curvature on the backside of the root (i.e. the tooth does not sit flat). This is primarily why I didn't think this was a great white tooth. However, serrations are present on the tooth and can be seen in the pictures. Tooth 2 is fairly worn and almost black in color. At least one side of the tooth near root was worn away/destroyed before I found it. Although small, this tooth has some weight to it. Hope this information is helpful. Thank you to any all all responses for taking the time to help solve my mystery! Tony

Need some help guys. Had a trip to Sulphur creek in Texas near Dallas a few years back and found an interesting price of... something. It feels very dense, and I’m wondering if it might be some sort of iron slag. The square-ish indents are puzzling to me. If im reading geological maps correctly, I think the region is Cretaceous, but please correct me if I’m wrong..

Hello everyone! I am back to ask for opinions again on an unusual find in north eastern indiana. It has a few different things going on and i will do my best to take decent pictures for you to see. First let me say the rock in its entirety is around 3 inch (76 mm) in length. 1 inch (25 mm) tall and 2.5 inches (63 mm) wide. The "teeth" are roughly 1/4 inch wide.

Hi below are some gorgeous teeth found this week on a Cape Town beach. Please note not all teeth were found by me - some were bought from other lucky local hunters. I suspect the second large tooth might be a transitional Mako feel free to let me know what you think.Feel free to message me if you want any more info on the teeth. (Please excuse rusty calipers)

OK, so I'm a newbie and not terribly educated in fossil identification. I'm a librarian in Dallas, TX and we have occasional programs where kids can dig through some materials from the Aurora Fossil Museum in Aurora, NC. They collect it from the Aurora Phosphate Mine. So after the last program, I found these items and I'm wondering what they are. I'm wondering if the first one is a coprolite, because it kind of looks like poop! The four tiny teeth are interesting because it looks like 3 might be the same species and the thin one looks like it came from something else.

Found this a year or two back while creek walking in Central Texas (Austin area). I always figured it was just part of a cretaceous era shell which are so common in our creeks. But I've recently seen pictures of mastodon enamel, and I've gotta say it looks similar. Any chance I'm on to something?

Hello, I went out collecting shark teeth at the beach near Knokke (West-Flanders, Belgium). The teeth found in Knokke are from Paleogene and Neogene period. I only took those which I think are still pretty good preserved for determination. I tried myself for putting names on it but I think I'll need help anyway Someone who can help me out with my sharkies? 1) Sylvestrielamia teretidens or Striatolamia macrota? 2) Physogaleus secundus 3) Brachycarcharias lerichei? 4) Sylvestrilamia teretidens? 5) 6) Lamna nasus or Odontaspis hopei? 7) Striatolamia macrota?

This is a fossils I found on Edisto Beach in South Carolina. To this point I've assumed it's a tooth but I'm not 100% due to the apparent lack of a root. I originally thought it belonged to some kind of ungulate but under further research it could possibly even be some carnivorous incisor? Either way the curiosity is killing me! Tell me what you guys think. I left the photos large to retain detail. It is exactly 1 inch in length, or about 2.5 centimeters And 3/8 inches in height, or about 1 centimeter If you need any other angles just let me know, its super hard to photograph.

My son received these teeth from an uncle as a gift. Unfortunately we are unable to contact him for any further information about them. Any help with an ID on them or perhaps an estimated value (if that's allowed here) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and effort! If better pictures are needed please advise. Tooth 1: (first 5 pics) Width=12.7cm and length=16.83cm Tooth 2: (pics 6-9) Width=8.9cm and length=10.8cm Tooth 3: (last 4 pics) Width=5cm and length= 7.62cm

My wife and I took a trip fown to Maryland late last week for a little calvert formation hunting at Bayfront park. As i mentioned on another post we got to the beach at quarter to 7am and had the place to ourselves for a while. Nobody was there to collect our access fee so we walked down to the beach just after low tide. One set of footprints were just above the surf line but i never did see who made them as nobody passed us either direction all day. We both found a couple of small teeth on our walk from the enterance to the corner that juts ou. My wife decided to stay in yhe corner and screen while i walked further south. For me it was a very slow pick of small shark teeth and a small cetacean tooth by the time I returned. My wife found a small cetacean vert where she set up to screen. More smalls than i remember from my last trip, or maybe we were just better at spotting them. She found her first Squatina subserrata tooth. Here's our finds, scale on the right is in inches: Close up of some of the smalls, these are under a quarter of an inch and we were lucky they stayed in our screens (and that we saw them): Makes me think I should try a multi layered sifter stack just to see how much micro material is falling through.

Hello, Going through some teeth from Sharktooth Hill (Bakersfield) I found one tooth among my "C. planus" teeth that didn't look like the others. I'm wondering if it is natural variation, from a different part of the jaw, or from another species altogether. It has the characteristic curve of a C. planus upper, but is quite a bit narrower than all the others I collected. The pics attached show a "typical" C. planus on the left and the tooth in question on the right. Thanks!

Two nights ago, a local farmer called me all excited and wanted to show me the fossils he found in the cow pasture. The local TV station had already aired a segment on his finds. This is a view of his farm. The location of finds were behind the buildings up on the hill This is what it looked like as we approached. I explained the geology to Bill. The upper rock layers were Platteville/ Ordovician underlain by sandstone. I told him there was nothing with "teeth" way back then. Everything was covered in a sea. We live in a driftless area, meaning the glacial advancement did not touch this area. So the teeth would likely be ice age to present. We then went in to look at his findings.

I just got some micro-matrix from the aguja formation. I starting going through it today but I am totally new to this kind of matrix. I have found a couple of things so far and some things I would like help identifying. I am not home right now so I can’t get any better photos for a little bit. I will definitely get a ruler in the next pictures.

It was a perfect day, but marginal finds. Again found what I think is a crocodile tooth. Please confirm. First pic is on a paper plate so it gives you an idea of the size.
