Can anyone identify what these might be? The 1st one is 1 of hundreds found identical to it but of different sizes. There seems to be serrated teeth like a very fine saw blade on the edges of the spike shaped rock.. They are all exactly the same. And the other 1 looks like the head of like a turtle or something. You can actually see a tongue inside the mouth. It looks like it suffered an injury & its head was smashed in . Looks to have skin on the outside & a bone inside the neck. Also teeth inside the mouth. Its for sure some kind of creature. Just don't know what. Thanks in advance.

Hello together, here I have 4 fragmentary teeth and only a slight idea what they could be. Nr. 1 is the only one I found myself, in the gravel at teh rhine river. its relatively heavy and colourfull what makes me think it could be (sub-)fossil. Looks like a bovid or cervid to me. Any further ideas? Nr. 2 I bought on online, together with nr. 4, they where supposedly found in lignite. Nr. 4 looks like a tiny proboscidean to me (only a layer out of a tooth), with nr. 2 I have got no idea.(small piece of similar layer? Nr. 3 seems to be a carnassial, I think its from china. The texture may tell something to some of you? Thanks in advance for any information you can give me. Aloha, J

Distinguishing Borealosuchus and Brachychampsa teeth
Othniel C. Marsh posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Is there actually any means of distinguishing Brachychampsa and Borealosuchus teeth, particularly those from the Hell Creek Formation? Insofar as I can see Brachychampsa teeth tend to more globular than those of Borealosuchus, but I have noticed that some Brachychampsa teeth, particularly those closer to the back of the jaw, can be quite elongate, so is there an identifying feature besides shape?- 2 replies

Collages of dinosaurs made with pictures of fossil teeth
BirdsAreDinosaurs posted a topic in Paleo Re-creations
This is a fun project that I have been working on for the past few months. Fossilized dinosaur teeth from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco showcase a wide variety of colours and patterns, caused by the varying conditions under which they were fossilized. To me, these colours and patterns are rather beautiful. Therefore I decided to ask a colleague of mine, who is a professional photographer, to take pictures of my small collection of teeth, so I could use these pictures to create collages of the original owners of the teeth. Using this approach, I made images of theropods from five different families. The animals on the images inhabited what is now known as Morocco about 100 million years ago. Here they are. The white bar next to the teeth represents 1 cm. This one I based on the species Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. This one is based on Rugops primus. I was inspired by the patterns of the Gila monster. Based on Deltadromeus agilis, which might be a noasaurid. As no skull of this dinosaur has ever been found, I am not sure that these are actually teeth of Deltadromeus. The other side of the smaller tooth shows an interesting white pattern, caused by plant roots growing on the fossil. Based on Carcharodontosaurus saharicus. I am not certain that these teeth are dromaeosaurid, but they do have characteristics that indicate that they might be. I love the pattern on the smaller tooth, which made it pretty easy for me to create a feathered look. I went ahead and got cards printed with the collages on the front. On the back I have included the family names and the specific teeth I used for each collage, at full size! It was a fun and refreshing experience to try a completely different approach to making illustrations.- 6 replies

Looking for some experts on these attached images. These are just ones I can’t figure out. Scale in metric. I had a successful hunt at the end of 2023. Soon I’ll be adding a photo album of this and some of my other finds from various locations. Overall, I found Ageleodus pectinatus teeth, Hyneria lindae teeth and scales, Megalichthys mullisoni scales, Langlieria radiatus scales, Holoptychius sp. scale, acanthodian fish spine, Phyllolepis rossimontina armor, Turrisaspis elektor armor, and plant leaves and stems. EDIT: Location - Clinton County, PA.

Today I went to a pretty famous and professional fossil shop in the UK, which had a quite big collection of various fossils. To my supprise, they also had a number of dinosaur teeth, including species such as Carcharodontosaurus, some Tyrannosaurids such as Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus, as well as several teeth of Suchomimus and Spinosaurus. Especially the teeth of the latter were actually not as expansive. [prices removed as per forum rules - staff] Now, I have to admit that I am a bit sceptic. When I look on the wikipedia page of Spinosaurus, I read that only a handfull (namely 6) partially complete individuals have ever been found. Furthermore, they list a number of other known specismens, which "consist mainly of very fragmentary remains and scattered teeth". However, when I google, I see that spinosaurus teeth are not only available in this little shop I went today, but apparently can also be bought online, in hundreds of different places (amazon, ebay, etc). They are literally everywhere and very abundant. So how is this possible? Some possibilities: 1) Teeths are indeed very common and wikipedia just refers to fossils in which also parts of the bones have been found. 2) All these teeths one can buy are actually just "prints" (like gibbs prints or whatever) and it is simply assumed to be so clear that it is not mentioned in the shops/online markets. 3) Most of them are fake (although I don't believe this, since the shop in which I found some of them was quite well-known and professional).

Need help identifying this jawbone I found in the banks of St. John’s River, FL near mill cove
FossilFisherman posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi this is my first ever post so apologies for the atrocity that is my attempt at using tags lol, I found this guy on the banks of the St. John’s River FL by mill cove, i know its a jawbone, but to what i have no idea, could be mammal or marine, because there are lots of Osprey Bald Eagles and other birds of prey in the area. Any help is much appreciated! I also think it’s some sort of predator due to the shape of the teeth.- 8 replies

Found these teeth from Batesford Quarry which is late Oligocene to middle Miocene. I am confident that they are C. Hastalis but would appreciate a second opinion.

I haven’t been tooth hunting in a long time, so I’m scanning through sand from Matoaka beach, Maryland. I’m hoping to get out this year. I always love finding skate or Ray teeth.

If you don’t mind jawboning with me here, what do you think we’re looking at? I collected this from a gravel bar in on the outskirts of the woodbine, more eagleford but this easily could have traveled down the creek. Any help is appreciated! I can provide additional pics, I don’t know what I don’t know, and that includes what you need to see to give me the goods on my goods..lol I need to glue it, just washed it off even though I’ve had it for 2 weeks.

I recently found this partial tooth in Florida and I really think it’s dire wolf. It looks exactly like the upper carnassial dire wolf teeth online. The only measurement i have is that the thickest part of the enamel from top to bottom is 17mm thick, not accounting for wear. Can you guys confirm/deny? Thanks! filtered-3F76D20A-199B-4B93-8957-ACB17287FC39.mp4

Hi all! I'm back with what I hope is a helpful video for an ID. The guide thought it was a mastodon tooth. My apologies - I only have an imperial ruler and do not own a printer to print a metric ruler. THERE ARE VIDEOS FOR ADDITIONAL UNIDENTIFIED FOSSILS IN THE COMMENTS. Tooth #1 Tooth1.mp4

Hello! I found this fossil teeth in a beach in Gozo (Malta). I think it was underwater due to the marine flora grown on it. Anyone can help me with the identification? Regards, Mark
