Hello, I apologise but i am quite new to fossils. I found this today at Walton-on-the-Naze in England, in the sand below the cliffs, and i wondered if anybody could help me confirm whether it is a megalodon tooth? It seems very different to the ones i have seen online, so i am not sure - but i understand teeth come in all shapes and sizes. I will be very happy if it is, especially because it was still quite high tide when i went and i had to wade through water to get to the beach (getting my feet soaked in freezing sea water in the process! ). Thank you

Hell Creek Theropods help wanted
Mesozoic Mike posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Howdy folks I'm still building my collection of Hell Creek fossils. This time I'm attempting to add three new specimens, that of Anzu Wyliei, Dakotaraptor, and a Troodon. I would be very grateful to get your opinion on the following fossils. The raptor teeth are labeled as "Dromeosaur Tooth" from Hell Creek I want to know if any of them look like Dakotaraptor teeth to you. As for the other two I simply want your opinion on whether or not they are genuine fossils. Thank you Anzu claw measures approx. 15/16″ long Raptor Teeth 1 2 3 Toodon measures approx. 1/8″ Thanks again

I currently live in Tacoma Washington State ( Not D.C ) I am moving to north Carolina to rent a house and start a life with my soon to be wife. However, for the next year as I complete college, is there anywhere in Washington state where I can find shark teeth? So far I have found nada. I heard Point no Point is good for fossils and shark teeth according to a post called "Best Beach for Shark Teeth: 6 well known places to search (not allowed to post links) However after a quick search on Macrostrat and older geologic maps I have found nothing of interest in the entire area and the islands across from it. I imagine the best beach to go would be one with exposed fossiliferous sediments on cliffs that get battered by waves. If anyone knows of any places or even a simple "Yes, they exist here" would be helpful. It seems there is no info online.

Last week I was on holiday in the Netherlands/Belgium for a short time and I had the chance to visit the area of Antwerp to find some shark teeth. Too bad the weather wasnt good (I think it rained the entire day). Nevertheless I found some teeth and I have to say that I am kinda satisfed with the result! I almost sieved the whole day so my body still hurts a bit The material I searched in comes from the Miocene, Pliocene and was washed up from the extension of Churchill dock in Antwerp. Here are two "in-situ" pictures: A nice tooth on the sifter: Pictures of the nicest teeth: A nice dolphin tooth with enamel (4 cm long): A dolphin ear bone: (a little bit more than 2 cm long) An Isurus retroflexus tooth (3 cm long): And an 4.2 cm long Cosmopolitodus hastalis: (I am not sure if I determined this one right ...) I think I will post some more detailed pictures of other teeth in the next days! Thanks for watching

I bought these at a Rock Shop in or near Moab Utah. Pretty sure the dude said they were from around there. What do you guys think?

Hello everyone, I've started organizing my small rock and fossil collection and setting up a display on my desk. I thought I'd put up some pictures of my collection. Thanks for taking a look! If anyone would like to see close up pictures of anything please let me know!

Trying to find out anything on this fossil. Thinking maybe Moroccan, and teeth attached to a jaw? I can't find anything close to it.

Hi everyone, Im looking at a bunch of stuff that someone got from the big fossil expo this month, but I want to be sure of what is what before I do anything. There's a few things way beyond what I could potentially get, but I'm just curious about in general. These are all Moroccan, and most, if not all, are Kem Kem. are these first 4 pics spinosaur? With the teeth I know the 2 on the top&left are probably carchar teeth, but I'm wondering about the other 2. In the 2nd picture, I'm guessing the right one is a spinosaur vert, right? What about the other one? I'm sure it would probably be very hard to tell with just a single rib, but could the rib be spinosaurus? It seems to match some museum spino skeleton ribs, but that's the best I can figure out:/

Hi all ! I believe the left one is a skate tooth but I cant figure out the right. Thank you (:

Hello ! I received 2 dinosaur teeth, from Kem Kem (cenomanian or albian). We can not accurately identify the species (if it is possible to identify them?). We think of a species of Abelisauridae, or maybe Dromaeosaurid (Deltadromeus agili?) (For the smallest)? Ideas? Teeth one (smallest): Second teeth :

My wife, son, and I took the dogs to the beach tonight. I was made promise that I would not hunt for shark teeth on the walk. I guess I kept my promise. Found this horse tooth instead. First I have found on the island.

Got up early on a cold cloudy morning trying to hit low tide (about 15 minutes late). There was a lot of sand covering stuff as usual with an east wind, but I could walk around at the shell line and quickly picked up three shrimp coprolite burrows (generally what I find are two inch long cylinders, but I have been worried about bias in my hunting, and have found two wider, shorter pieces (rods look the same?) and several broken ends from cylinders/ burrows. One of the darker pieces @Carl @GeschWhatis from my last trip, many of the others may have been posted, I just jumble them together to dry (have 25-30 total now; get zero to four per trip). Some of the smaller pieces seem to be concretions @Plax rather than coprolites (more variability in the structures than the rods). The tide came in quick and despite a lot of material on the beach, everything I found was in the wash. Also found a small jaw piece with three circular holes of slightly different size. And the usual sand tiger shark spikes, some more colorful than usual.

I finally found my first creek spot all on my own using maps. I recognize some of these teeth but the Hemis look a little different from what Im used to finding. Also are the tooth chunks from Megaladon teeth because if so then am I in the right spot to find full Megaladon teeth? Oh and i found this other odd fossil that Im pretty sure is a piece of alligator armor.

Spinosaurus Jaw-Piece or perhaps composite?
Sauroniops posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Had been talking with a guy selling a spinosaurus jaw-piece, and got the pictures of it today. And the first thing that strikes me, is how perfect the teeth look compared to the rest of the jaw. To me, it sorta looks like they were planted there. With that said, there's a tooth in the jaw, that hasn't grown out, which is obviously much harder to make. However it does look like the part on where it sits, has been restored, and thereby the chance of it being placed there. And to me it also looks a bit like there are fillings in-between the two big teeth. I'm very much in doubt about this one, but right now it looks very suspicious to me, so I just wanted to post this here in case some of you guys can confirm that it's fake, composite, or real. -
Found these in local creek whose source is the local Emmitsburg MD. One was encased in sandstone.The other in some other more grainy stone. If you look close, the grayish one has tiny bumps uniformly along the side. I may have scraped some too much. Any ideas on if these are fossils?

Although we are currently in the depths of February, spring is just around the corner! With spring comes spring break and a week of digging!! One of the locations I am planning a visit to is Jamesville quarry in Jamesville NY. I would love to unearth some nice placoderm pieces. If anybody has info about the site, especially who to contact for permission, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Starting as a shark tooth collector a long time ago, last year I became interested in dinosaur fossils and decided to start collecting them. Despite dinosaur material, especially from rare locations, being usually very expensive for a college student, over this year I managed to get some interesting specimens through numerous trades, sales and purchases, some of which I want to organize in this topic. So, let's begin with Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian). All of my material from this time comes from Cloverly formation in Montana and Wyoming. Tenontosaurus tilleti - a large basal ornithopod, I have tooth and a vertebra with ?bite marks And a rare Nodosaurid tooth - Sauropelta is the only one described, although there could potentially be more than one species Cenomanian stage (early Late Cretaceous) is not that well represented in North American dinosaur fossil record, I have a hadrosaur and dromaeosaurid teeth from Woodbine formation, Texas A very significant portion of dinosaur fossils from North America comes from Campanian deposits of various stages. Let's begin with Judith river formation in Montana. Got some nice theropods - Tyrannosauridae indet. (potentially present Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus cannot be differentiated based on teeth) on the left and Saurornitholestes sp. on the right. And a nice Ceratopsian tooth (again, cannot be identified to the genus level, too many of them present) There is another formation in Montana of a similar age - Two Medicine formation. Recently got some nice material from there I can show here. First, a maxillary tooth from a hadrosaur Gryposaurus latidens - easily identifiable by the presence of denticles near the crown apex. Unidentified hadrosaur tooth with a complete root

Hello. Found this teeth in Sangiran, Java, Indonesia. Looks like omnivore teeth. Maybe wild boar. Any idea? The length measurement in the pic was in cm.

Made it out to the North Sulphur River yesterday and found a couple of interesting pieces of bone. One was a small jawbone that may be mosasaur but may be small enough to be from some type of fish, not sure. The other piece was one of the largest that I have found but is an odd shape and I am not sure if it may be from a mosasaur, most of the material from this area falls into that group? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Headed down to Bawdsey in Suffolk for a few hours. The beach has built up loads covering up the best big teeth grounds, still managed to find a few. Got the Striatolamia macrotas from the bottom of the shingle ridge and also a fish vertebra? (Can anyone confirm). The rest of the teeth were all from the red crag layer. Also found a possible cow shark tooth which i have never found! (Please say it is!!!) And some other fossil, i have found a lot of these previously but never as large. Apologies i cant take any better photos due to using my phone! If anyone can help with identifying these that would be marvellous! Thanks for reading guys and girls!

Hi everyone, Here I've two teeth, which seems -as you can see by the color- to be fossils or sub-fossils. I found them in a beach of a volcanic lake (Central Europe), where there aren't sedimentary formations, so I suppose they are not older than the lake itself (the collapse of the caldera and the formation of the lake are dated between 400,000 and 150,000 years ago). Do you think they could be recent fossil or subfossil? Which kind of animal? They are 3 and 2 cm long.

Backyard was a prehistoric lake. Dino fossils found close by. Found these recently. They clearly seem to be teeth with a root stem and ridges. Possibly some herbivore, or else, I could just be wrong. Any help would be humbly appreciated Please zoom in. Could not get good pics with file size limit.
