Scrappy bones and a few teeth: Denmark's finest mosasaur specimen
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
Hi all Some of you may remember that I used to (and still do) research on fossils from the Late Cretaceous chalk of Denmark... Now there are 2 main chalk sites in Denmark, Møns Klint and Stevns Klint. My work focuses on the stuff from Møns Klint, but in all honesty there's some spectacular fossils coming out of both localities. One thing that both Møns and Stevns have in common is that fossils of mosasaurs (giant lizard-like marine reptiles) are extremely rare, with only a small handful of specimens found every year. A few years ago, I went to the Geomuseum Faxe (south of Copenhage- 3 replies

Hit the beach hard Saturday with my girlfriend. Water was choppy which kept them coming in. My biggest tooth ever was a 1.5 inch mako in Virginia. Didn't have hopes of finding much with size. But we brought home 430 total teeth. All sizes. During the first 5 mins I looked in the edge of the chop on the water and saw this huge(well it was huge to me) tooth. Ended up being a 2 inch mako which I assumed Meg at first. Regardless was thrilled. After finding alot of smaller teeth(bunches of hemis) I saw another 2.25inch mako just off the water edge. 2 very nice makos within 20 yards of ea

Suggestions? Peace River Florida fossil hunting south of Zolfo springs
Jasons_fossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I want to go back to Peace River but I don't want to do the normal canoe outpost thing this time. I want to take a kayak south of Zolfo springs were the river gets bendy, shallow, and remote. I don't have a kayak so I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for where I can rent one or if they want a hunting buddy for the second week of May. -
Florida - Venice - Bone Valley suggestions or hunting buddies
Jasons_fossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello all, I'm making my fourth trip to Venice in a few weeks and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good land sites in the area, or further inland to where one might find Bone Valley teeth. Would also enjoy the company if you have a secret spot that you don't want to disclose the location of. I'll be diving in Venice a few days and maybe a trip out to Peace River, but I've always wanted to find a good Florida land site. -
Went on a wild fossil hunting trip today out on private land in the Dinosaur Park fm. and found something that I’ve since reported to the Tyrrell. My best guess is a partial hadrosaur tail. The specimen is about 3 feet long by 1.5 feet wide. There was no other associated material nearby but there may be more of this dinosaur under the surface. I’ll also post a few of my favourite surface finds for today. I have a before and after photo of a vert, a large partial rib and some tyrannosaur teeth & a croc tooth.

Hello gang. I am looking for advice from more experienced folks about sifting for fossils. I have a wide range of appropriate tools available to me, but as one that has never really done this sort of fossil hunting, I have some questions before my excursion this weekend. I always have a canvas bag/tube type I normally use for forest floor detritus to find various insects and the like. It has also proven useful in streams and creeks. Very handy as it folds flat and doesn't use up much pack space. However it is in the sieve range of #3-4 (about 5mm +/-). I don

30 years ago I was in 5th grade and used to hang out nearly every summer day at the back of our property in Van Buren County, field was nearly 60 acres. We would build forts and play in the creek that came off of the Paw Paw River. One day while we were in this deep depression in the ground that the creek went through we found a small black shark tooth. That summer we dug and dug and were able to find about 50 teeth. This week being Spring Break I told my small children maybe we should go look for shark teeth and told them what I did as a young lad. We went back to the old spot I remembered fi

I had this rock and the top broke off and there was a hair imbedded in the rock
Starstruck106 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Not sure where this came from exactly to begin with but I got it from a friend whose next door neighbor had passed away who used to be a geology teacher at a local school I guess his wife wanted the dirt and the rock pile gone so my friend needed the dirt and let me grab a bunch of the rocks. I no longer have this rock so have to go by memory, I gave it to my dentist because it resembled teeth and a small jaw bone when the top came off. The interesting thing is there was a hair imbedded in the rock where it fractured. It was not fractured when I got it and it was definitely part of the ro -

Hi everyone, found this in a new jersey cretaceous creek. Looks like a partial enamel something but I'm not exactly sure what it can possibly be from, it interestingly has some very defined ridges on the least worn side. Very hard to catch the clearest pics to show the sharpest definition but I tried to get the best I could. Maybe this can be a clue to a potential id. Pictures of it with whiteish background are upside down.

Two additional items found on Manasota Key beach south of Venice, Florida. Item one (3 pictures) is apparently a tooth about 2 cm in width. Any suggestions on what it belonged to? Item two might be a bit of tortoise shell, but I'm not sure, (2 pictures). The concave side of item two shows porous structure I've found in other fragments of bone. Confirmation? Thanks!

Shark teeth from Paleocene Aquia Formation at Douglas Point, Potomac River, Maryland
traveltip1 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
This riker mount displays the best shark teeth that I collected on 3 hunts sifting at Douglas Point beach, Charles County, Maryland. This is the Paleocene Aquia Formation. Bottom row contains several Odotus teeth. There are many goblin shark Anomotodon and sand tiger shark Carcharias. Also appears to be one pygmy white shark Paleocarcharodon in lower left corner.- 9 replies

Is it deinosuchus teeth ? These are 4 different teeth.

Found this while rock hounding this morning near Warren Dunes State Park in southwest Michigan. I almost overlooked as it wasn't a very interesting color, but the shape made me take a second look. To me it looks like a set of a few teeth with one mostly intact. I thought it was just a piece of coral until I saw the separation where the "tooth" line would be. Anyway, thought I would post it here to the experts, as I have no idea what I have. Thanks!

Can someone please give me a few scanned pages from Capetta 1987 book ("Handbook on paleoichthyology: chondrichthyes II: Mesozoic & Cenozoic Elasmobranchii" Volume 3E Teeth). I am in India at present and desperately in need of the book basically for Hybodont dentition (Mesozoic) mostly Asteracanthus (strophodus) sp, Hybodus, planohybodus, spenodus, meristodonoides and edaphodon sp. the book is not available anywhere; not even in library. Very expensive, can't buy from abroad. Please help me guys, atleast you may have access to some good library having the book.

Why are fossilized Great White Shark Teeth few and far between?
Jess1313 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I've been looking around for a fossilized great white shark tooth for some time now and it seems like there just aren't many to choose from. The price also seems crazy for them. Are they more desirable than other fossilized shark teeth? It seems like I can get a small Meg for the cost of a Great White. My aunt has been wanting one, but I'm more confused on the price and availability of them. Are they more rare than Megs? Or are they just more desired? I don't want to get a modern one because of the way sharks are hunted. Does anyone know of why the prices and availability are they way they are -
Found this in Eagle Ford creek bed, thought it was wood at first but think I see remnants of enamel or I wouldn't even take a guess at teeth. Bet this will be an easy one for someone. Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone, I have a theropod teeth that I need help identifying. This tooth first came from a reseller from Morocco in 2019 (before Talsint teeth flooded the market). He promises this came from a Boulmane digger, and calls it a Jurassic tooth. Irregardless of whether this is a Jurassic tooth or not, the reseller is reliable when it comes to locality I have tried identifying this tooth but all my best guess is that it's a Megalosauridae indet. Here are its info: CH: 26.1 mm CBL: 13.7 mm CBW: 8 mm Distal denticle count: 13/5mm on

Found these in our PaleoPack. I have no idea what the last one is. I'm thinking the first 3 pieces are Meg or Mako.
