Hello all, Today I found two teeth and my girlfriend 1 tooth. Could anyone help us identifying the teeth? I thought Horse and Bison or Cow. But the teeth are quite big. And the big bone (second pic) what kind of animal is it?

Hi all, I recently got into a discussion on the Dutch fossil forum about the definition of the term "carina", which my conversation partner equated to "the cutting edge of a tooth". They then further went on to claim crocodiles don't have carinae but rather apicobasal ridges that span the length of the tooth crown. Now I've used the term lots over the years and know @Jesuslover340 has also used carinae in the context of crocodile teeth. But as I can't find a singular definition of the term as pertains to teeth online, I was wondering how the term is officially defined - whethe

Hi all! I have been using my new scope and camera to get some better photographs of conodonts I've recently found in nodules in Pennsylvanian Stark shale between Winterset and Bethany Falls limestone. I have found 4 of these 500-700micron, tooth-like structures-I destroyed several inadvertently removing the "carbonized film". Two of the 3 most recent are not connected to anything, but have a broad base. In the 3rd photo, you can see what appears to be a joint where the "tooth" connects. I am waiting on finer needles to clean this one. Though I call them "teeth", I don't reall

I've started my journey into finding places to hunt along the KAW. With advice from people here and some research on my own, this week I've done some "test pits" where I'd take an hour or less before work testing out via walking around a site and see what I can find, to see if it's worth returning to. And so far I've had great success. I've found multiple pieces of bone, teeth, shell and marine animals (Fusulinids, crinoids, bryozoans, etc). I made a longer visit to the best site I've found yet and recovered more pieces. It's all been just surface searching, with only minor digging in for part

Hi hoping for a bit of help with a couple of shark teeth finds from the Eocene (42mya), Bracklesham group in Whitecliffe Bay on the Isle of Wight. I don't often find shark teeth so not sure about the ID so hope someone on here can help. Walking back to the car I found a vertebra in the sand washed out from the cliff, (cliffs are Bembridge Marls / Solent Group or early Oligocene - about 34mya) my initial thought was turtle but something about the shape is making me think lizard so again would appreciate any help with the ID. (Grid in the photographs is 5mm square). If other views would help pl

A few more Indonesian megs - any restorations?
patrickhudson posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
A few more Indonesian megs here I’m looking into. I’m mostly concerned about the roots and cementum areas. any major restorations you are seeing? I love the colors of the blades and just want to make sure I’m not getting hosed on anything fake. Thanks so much for all your input and expertise . -
I bought a set of shark teeth from the Eocene of Fürstenau, Germany. I have some pretty decent shots of them, though these are the only photographs available for now. 1 cm - 3.5 cm is the range Really I have no idea on species, and nor does the seller. Some appear to be sand tigers, and indeed upon researching the locality those are described from there. Others from that locality include Otodus auriculatus and Isurus praecursor, and those were the ones I was really after. And while I cannot seem to see any of the former, I do believe a few are Praecursor. I'm attaching

Unprepared Brontotherium Jaw Section
MeisTravis posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
Hey all! i have an unprepared Brontotherium Jaw section up for trade. It’s from the Badlands, South Dakota, United States. It’s a really cool piece that displays well, I’m just looking for something new for my collection. I would be interested in trading for Dire Wolf teeth, an Eremotherium Tooth, other giant ground sloth teeth/claw cores. PM me offers or any questions. Thanks! -

Differences between Morrison diplodocus teeth

All of these teeth are Diplodocus teeth from Colorado. But, why so many differences between the teeth, mainly in the shape of the tip? -

If you haven't read my 'about' on my profile, then... What are you doing? I'm the best person on this forum, duh, you should've memorised it by now(!) Jokes aside, I love conodonts. The gorgeous little extinct wigglers that resemble eels... They're so common, that they're used as index fossils. What does that mean? People identify the age of fossils, based on conodont elements found with them... That's crazy! How does this work? Well, evolution changes animals over time, as you'll know, which means, due to the abundance, and date range of the specimen, you can work out age of sedi

Greetings everyone. I collected this pretty little tooth on one of my Summerville, SC trips when I lived in Georgia. It's escaped scrutiny until now. While it unfortunately lacks the root the uniqueness has made me pursue an ID anyway, although it might not be possible. I have considered a serrated Alopias grandis based on the depth, irregular serrations, and overall shape. I've also considered a juvenile Otodus angustidens but I'm having difficulty finding good examples so a lot of comparisons are instead made with other Otodus species. I'd be interested in seeing what others think.

I found this Proboscid tooth on a riverbank in Kenya. Is it a recent one from L. africana or something older? It is about 9 or 10 cm long.

Hello! Could it be Mustelus sp. tooth? It has some "serration" in interesting part of enamel (see arrows). Length - 2 mm. Age: most probably Miocene. Location: Western Ukraine. Thanks in advance! Kolya

I was going to do some more exploring of new areas (trying to find a Calvert exposure until I can get the boat in the water since everything’s closed) but I decided to go back here yet again. I made a pretty good decision I think because I found a bunch of shark teeth that are of decent size, and a killer shark and fish vertebrae. I also found a small block of Calvert formation here too, and I found a lot of it exposed on another piece of land a few weeks ago, but then turned around after seeing a bunch of “no trespassing” signs posted all up and down. Go figure. So until I find anot

I found these two teeth, and I would like to know if they are small megalodon or angustidens teeth?

A couple of days ago there was a thread that provided links to @Troodon 's id posts about identifying tyrannosaurid teeth. I didn't bookmark them and can't locate them. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

A new "T-Rex" tooth just showed up on our favorite site. It is not a Tyrannosaurus rex tooth however but a more common and far cheaper Carch tooth. We know this because of its more blade-like morphology, its slender profile, its shape, its smaller denticles and the sand on the base I already notice multiple bids on it and I have no doubt the price would escalate as many hopeful collectors would try their hands on getting a cheap T-Rex tooth for themselves. For anyone looking to buy a true T. rex tooth, there are several factors to take note of: 1) Thi

Teeth - rebbachisaurids vs titanosaurids
PetrosTrilobite posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
We can know if a sauropod tooth from Morocco - Kem Kem beds is from rebbachisaurid or titanosaurid? -
A simple question. How a dinosaur lost a tooth with the root? Ok, easy for a predator, but herbivores like Triceratops or hadrosaurs how lost rooted teeth?
