Hi, just found this forum. I am completely new to this. Seen quite a few folks in my area with nice shark teeth finds and started recently to look for the during walks on the beaches of Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms close to our house. Was (am) getting frustrated as I have not found a single one yet . Hence, my quest for information on "how to" and as a result ended up with links to this forum. I have always been fascinated by fossils and historic finds of all nature and would like to dive deeper (no pun intended) into it. I have a bay boat and am able to get to get to places in creeks, rivers, and remote beaches where others may not be able to get to. I have already read some good suggestions and will hopefully soon be able to post my first finds.

Real Mosasaur Teeth and Bones?
FossilsandScience posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone, I saw this fossil being sold and I think I am going to buy it, but I don’t know if it’s real or fake. It is two rooted Mosasaur teeth with extra jaws and bones (I contacted the seller, who told me they were also probably Mosasaur bones). It was found in Phosphate Deposits, in Khourigba, Morocco. Please help! -

I have recently been given a number of shark teeth by a relative who used to collect. I would appreciate any help that members might be able to offer. I will post 3 photos. On the first photo am assuming the 4 on the left are Sand Tiger and the middle bottom 2 are Odotus? Unsure about the rest.

Hey everyone, Here is a photo of two suchomimus teeth that I might buy, but I was wondering if they were real. These are the only photos I have. I trust the seller who is selling them, but I always like to make sure. They were found in Niger. Please help! Thanks!- 12 replies

This tooth can be cleaned off more than this, cant it? It looks like there's plenty that is layered on top of the actual tooth that should be able to be removed, but I know it's not always as easy as that. And of course, not just if it CAN be removed, but removed safely? More to the point-safely by an amature?

Hey everyone, My friend has three shark teeth that he would want identified. Below are the three teeth. I think the left one is Mako, the middle is Otodus, and the right is baby or juvenile megalodon. What do you guys think? Thanks!

Triceratops teeth - Real or Fake?
FossilsandScience posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
These triceratops teeth looked polished, and there is two white dots on the bigger one that I think is a burn from preparing the tooth. It would be great help if someone could tell me if they are real or fake. Thanks so much! -
Hello! I've been hunting for about 16 years now in the Calvert Cliffs beds. Have found quite a few nice specimens. Hope to see some great fossils here! Just a pic of some of my best things....

What's the deal with so many pterosaur teeth, yet just about every single one(every single one Ive ever seen or heard of, although im assuming other people may have heard of or seen other species)is Coloborhynchus! That just seems improbable....in fact it seems almost impossible. Tons of pterosaurs had teeth, tons of teeth are around, but ONLY from Colobos??? That can't be right. Also, I know that a species can have different shaped teeth, but APPARENTLY colobo teeth come in every shape and size(and width/height ratio, and angle, and curve, and every possible variable). Im not going to say these absolutely CANT all be from coloborhynchus, they have to be from other pterosaurs or animals, but....these can't possibly all be from just coloborhynchus, can they???

Hi, I recently purchased some fossil titanothere teeth on eBay. I don't think the seller had ever sold or shipped a fossil before, when it arrived and I picked up the box it became immediately clear that it hadn't been packed well. When I opened it my worst fears were immediately confirmed. Lying there in a single piece of bubble wrap was my fossil in pieces . I'm hoping to repair it and I was thinking of using some plaster and paint certain parts black to repair it but people here are much more experienced than me and usually have better ideas then I do. Here are some photos:

Hi everyone! It’s been a while, but I finally made it back out fossil hunting! Missed being here! Here are a few of my pickings from Memorial Day on Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas. As you can see there are lot of small shark teeth. Most are broken unfortunately. The large piece is a mystery. At first glance it looks similar to the mammoth enamel I have found in the past, but what do you all think??? It has a smooth surface on one side, and a slightly pitted surface on the other. Worn by the elements and/or stained? I can’t tell what this is. There are a few smaller unidentifiable pieces, too. One has what appears to be two triangular shapes on top of each other. No clue! The other small piece has the appearance of (bone?), but the feel of rock. The large black piece? Flint maybe? Any help would be appreciated!

I recently started poking around in a few different microfossil matrix packs & have been having fun... aching neck & back, but fun. Anywho, I just started with some from the Winchell fm out of Brownwood Texas, Pennsylvanian period. Listed as having crinoid stems (check), Fusilinids (check) & coral (check). I found a tiny little thing that looked like an odd shaped agate, sort of pinkish yellow in color, then a 2nd, 3rd.. I've found 8 of them so far, in just the 1st 2 teaspoons of matrix (I've got 8 oz of it). Just slightly over a mm in size. I'm thinking fish teeth, but not sure. Found this other thing that I'm not sure on as well. 1/2 cm in length & looks like a mini saw blade (sort of). I'm including a couple pics of it as well. All 3 pis are at 50x magnification.

I posted a topic - Middle Devonian of Livingston County New York - recently and decided to include the other shelves in the display case. Also a fellow member requested to see more in the room so its their fault I had many more Oligocene fossils at one time and this is what I kept over the years (either I found it or it means something to me). Im sure there will be questions for me. Thanks, Mikeymig

These pics aren't the best. I forgot to put a scale object in the photo. I hurriedly decided to shoot these because the setting sun was providing some good lighting. This piece is small, about 1.5 inches in overall length. There is an alligator scute in the background for rough approx. size comparison. I am not sure if this is fossilized, but the teeth look familiar to me. Is this a juvenile of something larger? Thanks! (Peace River, Florida, Bone Valley formation, Polk county, Hawthorn group)

I only started collecting fossils about a year ago. I happened to just type in my favorite dinosaurs name into feebay on a whim. And I saw a fossil from an actual Deinonychus that I could own.... The addiction began, lol. A year later it's still a meager collection, especially being on a budget. But I wanted to share my finds thus far from the past year. A special thank you to @mburkett who ended my year long daily hunt for a deinonychus tooth.
