Years ago I frequently hunted an isolated productive site with a good friend on Saturday because he was consumed with a day job. I returned to that site today and had one of my more successful recent hunts. He just happened to decide to return to the same general vicinity today and we met and hunted together for the 1st time in 20 months. It was fun .. As fossil hunters sometimes do, we talked about those Glory days years ago, when the finds were numerous and hunting was easy.. I do not have time today, tomorrow to photo and discuss finds. But I'll show a photo confirming the finds and ask for an ID on 2 of them. 1st the Camelid tooth possibly with a pathology. I believe it to be a lower left m3. and there are only 2 choices in Florida. Palaeolama mirafica or Hemiauchenia macrocephala. 2nd is also a tooth, and I am thinking Sloth... I have seen a lot of Sloth teeth and pushed I would say Harlans. Is this tooth pathological ? Which end is the chewing surface? What is the semi_pointed thing sticking out the right side ? I always feel blessed finding unusual fossils... Jack

Hello. I found this on the beach today. I’ve seen similar posts that make me think it may be part of some type of ray dental plate. But since it’s not very black, does that mean it’s not very old? Also, is there a way to know what type of Ray it could be from? Thanks so much!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Thanks to all of you who try to help the less educated such as myself (at least in this field of study). I occasionally come across the remnants of back-office dumpsters from ancient dental offices where mammals would go to get teeth pulled. Ok, joking.. but seriously, I’ve reviewed some helpful threads on tooth identification but I’m not confident in what I see. 1) do my photos give enough of a view to say with confidence what they belonged to? 2) can you help me identify these? Let’s count 1-6 starting with upper left. Don’t worry about identifying the hand, that’s mine. I think #1 upper left is camel. I don’t know about #2. I think #3 (upper right) is bison? Thanks in advance! These are all from Johnson County and Tarrant County TX. Mostly Tarrant County.

It was tougher finding fossils, today. It's getting harder and harder, to find surface exposed fossils in this location. I guess I have combed this site, pretty well? Counting every little bit and piece; i found 42 little shark teeth today, and nothing else. Here are the best 17 teeth, of those found. This site has produced hundreds and hundreds of small Sand Tiger and Mackerel shark teeth, and numerous small sting ray teeth. Probably two thirds of the shark teeth here, have just been broken pieces.

Hi, Fellow Fossil Folks. Are any of these things more than rocks?
-
I went out on Saturday, hunting the Peace River. Did not find very much. It was one of those days when my hunting partner, digging 5 feet from me was finding excellent fossils and me , not so much. I was also feeling out of sorts most of the day, and that turned into a stomach virus that I am now mostly over. Add about 150 somewhat bruised small shark teeth, and the hunt was not up to par. There are always gifts from the river... I hardly ever find connected ray teeth in the Peace, This is about 50% of an noncommon find. The big lift for the day is that my friend worked in the Phosphate mines in the 1980s and still connects with old friends who did the same. One has some interesting items and traded some small horse fossils including 20 plus teeth that I got before I started hunting Saturday. I am truly blessed. A few toe fossils A Medial phalanx L 25 x 22 mm Another Medial, L 20 x 16 Both are too large to be a good fit for this L 29 x 15 mm Proximal phalanx.. Big thrill ,, these are my 1st Horse Phalanx at this size... and the quality is crisp because they were never eroded by water... Naturally 3 lower right molars, possibly /likely Nannippus This one has no protostylid , thus N. aztecus APL 14 x width 8 x crown height 27 mm This one has a protostylid and very small APL 15 x width 10 x crown height 25 mm, possibly N. westoni and then this one APL 18 x Width 10 x Crown Height 34 mm. I can not tell if it has a protostylid or not...and will leave to experts to ID tooth positions... I have another 17 teeth needing photos..

Just How Rare, are 6 Inch plus Megalodon Teeth?
Rock Hound posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I always hear that they are very rare; but every year dealers set up at numerous fossil shows in the United States, with huge boxes full of giant Meg Teeth. Regardless, they sure aren't cheap!!! -
I got these 3 new mosasuar teeth and can somebody identify them? Thank you very much!Sorry for the bad images.

I have 2 different teeth, that I would like input on. The first one was listed as a Daspletosaurus, and was found in the Two Medicine Formation. The second tooth comes from Point Bar Deposit River bed.

Hi again, everyone. Being the unashamed newbie that I am, I have some beach finds from around Venice, Florida that may be PORs (Plain Ol’ Rocks) or fossilized thingies. ‘Look familiar to anyone?

I am very new to fossil hunting... this started all of a sudden after I basically tripped on a big Exogyra ponderosa in my local creek the other week, and got curious what else was out there. So I've just scooped through a bunch of gravel in Brushy Creek here and found a lot of little things that I wonder what they could be. 1. Tooth? (First two photos, front and back) 2. Smaller tooth? (Single photo) 3. Maaaaybe a tooth as well, or just an exceptionally pointy rock? (Last two photos) Thanks -- let me know if any other photos or info is needed. Next time I'll use a ruler .

The dealer I know acquired a new batch, and I already have teeth from Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Abelisauridae. Are there any other rare teeth among these? I want to expand my collection. The color in this photo seems a bit dark; is it actually somewhat lighter?

Hey there, It‘s my first post in this Forum, so it‘s time to say hello. My name is Philipp, born in Germany/Saxony. I grew up in the Erzgebirge and was surrounded and fascinated by mines and minerals when i grew up. On my current travel through Europe and Morocco the passion for Minerals and Fossils flamed up again. It’s hard for me not to think every moment about where I‘m going fossil/mineral hunting again so i don‘t annoy my girlfriend tooooo much ;) I’m currently in Morocco for a 3 Month trip to search for fossils and minerals. I was reading about the Mosasaur teeth in the Oil Shale Deposits near Bakrit/Timahdite and about some members visiting this area. I was wondering if someone can give me some locations where these teeth can be found. Looking forward to your answers Philipp

Hi all - found a small outcrop in an area mapped as “Eagle Ford Group and Buda Limestone undivided.” I filled a plastic bag with crumbly matrix and have so far found 2 Ptychodus teeth amongst other shark and fish teeth and fragments. Can anyone help narrow down an ID on these two? I’ve also included a photo of some of the matrix I gathered. Curious if anyone can tell the age or more details based on its appearance and the IDs of these teeth. Thanks!

Trio of mosasaur teeth in matrix
Georgemckenzie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hiya everyone I’m interested in this allocation of mosasaur teeth I know the roots are often faked so any help would be great.

I had a couple hours to kill so I took a trip to Calvert Cliffs today. It is really picked over by this time of year. I found 7 ray plates, 3 small shark teeth(2 are broken), 3 crab claw tips, and some misc bone frags. I also brought back some matrix to go through and grabbed a little clay too. Does anyone one of breaking down the clay ever produces anything?

I recently received some American Mosasaurus (and other) teeth. I would like to identify this, but that is proving difficult. Hopefully we can figure it out together. Tooth number 1, maybe Mosasaurus missouriensis? length: 1.5 centimeters Origin: Tombigbee river, Monroe county, Mississippi, USA Period: Eutaw formation, Cretaceous

This is the first serious fossil hunting I’ve been able to do in a very long time and it was awesome! I stopped here on a whim for an afternoon on a return trip from vacation and it was absolutely worth it. Despite being poorly equipped (I literally threw together a small sifter with stuff from the hardware store and a staple gun), I think I came out pretty well! Definitely going to have to make a return trip sometime, I think the conditions were less than optimal this time around. It seemed like the water level was higher than usual because of the hurricane, so I think a lot of the usual spots were inaccessible. I wore my Tevas and am incredibly lucky not to have lacerated the snarge out of my feet/legs - there’s an insane amount of broken glass in the creek. I would definitely bring waders next time.
