First off, I want to thank Doren for sending me a small flat rate box full of STH matrix for me to try sifting through. I still have quite a bit of fine matrix to sort through but already I've managed to find hundreds of specimens. I've found quite a few Carcharhinus, Cetorhinus, Galeorhinus, Squalus, and tons of ray teeth. When I'm finished with all the matrix, I think I'll write a follow-up post with all the nice specimens I found. I'm having a little trouble identifying various species of rays - maybe someone has a literature suggestion to help me get familiar with different tooth characteristics? From what I can tell from other posts, the features that differentiate some ray species are quite subtle and to my untrained eye, very difficult to distinguish. I wouldn't mind some ID help with these teeth in particular. Scale to the right is in mm. If you could also comment on how common/uncommon these species are and what position they are in the jaw that would be immensely helpful as well. Also, maybe someone wouldn't mind making a list of the species found at STH and rank how common they are? Also, does anyone have suggestions for removing the last bit of silt/sand from the crevices in the teeth? I've tried water and gently stirring but that does not have much of an effect. Thanks for your help!

Well I'm not sure it's gets any better than today trip to NSR. @Jakuzi and I got an early start and were walking down the river at first light. We walked for well over an hour. It was exauhsting but proved to be worth the effort. The weather was overcast with a cool breeze and it was time for some hunting. Right off the bat, my buddy found a nice size vert. I found the biggest one I've ever found shortly after his. Then two more smaller ones. I was still mainly focused on trying to find my first point. At last it appears to me by chance and I could not believe my eyes. I could have easily missed this one. While sitting there holding it, I thought about the history of this point and wondered to whom it belonged and how it had come to rest in this very spot. Truly a magical moment in my life. If anyone knows the aproximent age or any further details about this point or any of the other finds, your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I want to show three teeth from Holzmaden (Lower Jurassic). I prepped them today although the first one is an older find (but also from this year). The first one is a very small tooth (0.8cm) but well preserved. I am not sure with the determination ... maybe Ichthyosaurus ? The second one is bigger with a length of 1.2 cm. Shadefully its not well preserved and a part is missing Its a crocodile tooth (Steneosaurus): And the last one is the most beautifully tooth ! Its large with a length of 2.1 cm but very thin and i think also a crocodile tooth. It was very to prep this one and i think you can see my mistakes In the middle of the tooth i lost some material Otherwise it would be one of the best tooth in my collection ! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for viewing!

For a University project I am working on a sample of Rheatian Bone Bed collected from Lavernock, South Wales, UK. During the separation process I found a different looking tooth to the common bony fish teeth and sharks teeth, but I'm not sure what it is. I think it looks like a mammal molar? Is there anyone with any experience around this topic that could offer some insight? I have attached two images the specimen, thanks.

Hey all, i found both of these in Big Brook, New Jersey. Cretaceous period. I am still new, and I just wanted to know if the first two pics could be a possible piece of a tooth? Dino fossils have been found here before, although I'm not going to get my hopes up. I was also wondering if the third pic is first off, fossilized, and if so, what did it come from?! I'm going to post more photos in the next message. thanks all. BrettCo

My 12 year old son is getting into this hobby, and is determined to find a Great White tooth, or even a Meglodon. I live in Jacksonville, in the Orange Park area, and am on here to hopefully find some spots to search, and collect tips as well.

My mom and I are in town for one more day in Jacksonville NC and would love to find some way to look at Camp Lejune for shark teeth! If no luck with that, does anyone want to meet up or go looking for fossils/teeth for the day..?!

Hi all, Here is a partial jaw of a porcupine fish. It was found in Lee Creek, USA, and I think that it's from the Pliocene period. Does anyone know exactly how old this fossil is? Also, is it possible to set a species name on this? Best regards, Max

Spinosaurus Teeth - Real Or Fakes?
dinos posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I recently brought these teeth from a website (they deal with fossils) and was assured they are 100% real. I am newbie to this so I would just like some assurance that these are in fact real or fakes. Any comments would be much appreciated. The biggest one is about 2 1/5 inches. Location: Kem Kem, Morocco Age: 65-95 million years Thanks!.jpg.a8ee591eb0c2a3322177ba27c11b5c2d.jpg)

Any ideas for what this jaw belongs to? Pleistocene river gravel from the Brazos in SE Texas. The teeth are either very worn, or the crowns have broken off. Thanks!

I recently purchased a few mammal teeth that seemed odd or rare. But since I am a dinosaur expert I don't really now much about them. Just looking for help on what they are, and if the labels given are accurate. Tooth #1, after some research I realize the age is off a bit, probably closer to 2.5-5MYA based on newer research of the Quiburis. 0.5" tall and 0.5" wide Tooth #2 same formation, probably camel? 1.25" long. Tooth #3, from Indonesia claims to be a Hippo molar. 1" tall, 1.5" wide. Pretty cool tooth. Location known, formation not known.

Hi, Finally was able to get out and do some hunting...glad I did. Found a few honey holes that produced some good fossils. Are these two teeth, mosasaur? I'm trying to compare these to my other mosasaur teeth that I have found before, but the sizes and condition vary so much I hesitate to make a positive ID. (scale in inches) Thanks.

These teeth are so old they have mineralized and turned to rock. I put them on here many months ago but people thought they were just a rock so I polished them for months and had some other people look at them and agreed they are teeth but I haven't had any info given on them. Your input would be grateful. Thanks.

Hello Everyone! I had the foresight to take my camera with me on my hunt yesterday. Before you ask - no, I didn't get a ground shot of the mastodon tooth. To be completely honest, I didn't know what it was until I got home...I probably wouldn't have even picked it up except that I noticed some symmetry. Anyway, I snapped a few shots of some decent shark teeth. Nothing too impressive, but steady finds all the same. enjoy - Here's a neat little whale tooth -

I'm not sure what type of tooth this is, I found it in Venice, Florida. I've been thinking that it is a mako shark or extinct mako shark tooth, not exactly sure though
-
Does anyone know what this is? To me it resembles a tooth of some sort. I found it in Indiana years ago and have just been going through some old finds.

Hi everyone, can anyone please help me identify these mammal jaws? Not sure what animal they're from, their age or even where they were found, but I've ruled out them being from a mammoth, smilodon or gigantopithecus! To me they don't look that old, possibly 10-20 thousand years. I bought them as part of a little collection, some of them I'll post up for help identifying at a later date. They entire collection cost the princely sum of £1.50, oh and the 20p entrance fee I paid to get into the *car boot sale where I found them. Thanks again for having a look, thinking and responding. * Car Boot Sales or Boot Fairs are a type of market where the general public come together to sell unwanted stuff from the boot of their cars. Household and garden, items, nic-nacks (chotchkies), anything and everything really. Usually they take place ridiculously early on a Sunday morning on muddy fields (because it's always raining here) in the countryside. Inevitably you always come home with loads of unexpected stuff, and every now and then some treasure, otherwise known as Booty Magic. Thanks Bobby
