Hey yall, first time posting. While I was visiting up in Wisconsin, I decided to take a couple fellow geo students out to an outcrop of the Bond Formation in Northern Illinois. One if my friends managed to find two small teeth in limestone, and after we prepared them, they came to look like this. Pictured above is 1. This is two, with a scale bar. It was a storm heavy day, but we still managed to cause a ton of material and come back with approximately 15 teeth in total. These were the only ones I couldn't identify, so I would appreciate and ideas.

Got this shark tooth from a rock show a couple of years ago (when I was not into fossil collecting) and seller said it was from morocco, that is all I know as far as this tooth goes. (I am not a shark tooth expert by any means, but I can tell that the root is composite and not original) Thank you for your time!

What type of Teeth are these? They seem Crocodilian. Hope they're not restored lol.

Tooth measures .83 inches and wasfound in Asfla, Goulmima, Morocco at the Akrobou Formation. From what I’ve read this is either Thililua or Manemergus Anguirostris and the seller wasn’t 100% sure.

Solved: it’s an egg case! Most likely for a cockroach that snuck into the clay. Gross/interesting. Hi all - wanted to see if anyone can provide any insight into two little “fossils” I found in a chunk of gray clay, likely from the Cretaceous, Ozan formation, in Central Texas. I’ve included a photo of the matrix as well. It’s a really light, gray clay that dissolves into mush in water. I ran some of it through a garden sieve and pulled out these two little fossils so far. The first looks like a little razor blade tic tag. Not sure if the other one is a tooth or a fragment of something else. Thanks for the help!

Hi all, Do you agree that this 0,7 inch tooth from the Hell Creek formation is a tyrannosaurid premax, or could it be something else? Thanks!

Hi, I'm new on this forum and I wanted to ask you IDs for these two teeth I have in my collection. The first one is a Mosasaur teeth I bought in a newspaper shop in Italy when I was a kid (I believe it may be from Morocco). The second one is a shark tooth I also bought in a kiosk, but I'm not sure it's a fossil and I believe it may be a Sand Tiger Shark tooth (or even a fake) The mosasaurus tooth is 2 cm, the shark one is 1.5 approximately.

Could this be a small megladon tooth? Found at Venice Beach, Florida. Attached are photos front and back of tooth.

Hello, this is a very small raptor tooth I found (I can hardly believe I found it lying there, it is so small) and I have tentatively id'd it as Richardoestesia. It is about 3 mm long. Thanks for any help. Mesa Verde Formation - Wyoming. The last 2 pics were taken through a microscope.

HI Everyone, On a recent Missouri River gravel bar hunt in Missouri where we usually find fossil Bison and horse teeth, we found this molar. I tried the needle test and it has no smell at all. I may be asking the impossible but didn't know if there was any kind of diagnostic by sight that would help determine if this molar is in fact ancient or modern. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hey! Wanted some outside input on what these teeth could be- the first four photos are my attempts at identifying them but more opinions would be greatly appreciated, as I'm still learning. Especially for the splotchy off-white tooth. All of these were found in 2016 in the W. M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park. Many thanks!

Hello all, Attached are some pics of a tooth we found in the Peace River FL. Measuring tape is in inches and cm. I have a guess what animal it is from (possibly a first lower premolar) but want to see what some more educated members of the forum think. Thanks! Brent

Any identificationfor this Uzbekistan tooth would be helpful - UPDATED NEW PHOTOS
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Fossil ID
I came across this tooth recently, but I (nor the seller) can figure out a decent identification for it. It’s an unknown theropod tooth from the Bissekty Formation in Uzbekistan. This is what the seller said about the specimen, “This tooth is much different from other Tyrannosauroid teeth from Bissekty. Less compressed and more rounded with much finer serrations. I believe it may be an undescribed species of theropod.” Is there any way to figure out at least a vague identification for this tooth?

possible E. dinops tooth
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey! I’m thinking about buying this possible Eocarcharia dinops tooth. I want to make sure that it is completely authentic and correctly identified. It does say it is from the Elrhaz formation in Gadoufaoua, Niger, but I just want confirmation (if possible because identifying theropods from Niger can be quite difficult) that this indeed an E. dinops tooth.

I had found this in east central Ohio, Darke County. It was found on land, but there is a wetland about ¼ mile from where I found this. Not sure if it's a tooth or not and if it is a tooth even what it would be from...but it just seemed more tooth-like than other things I've found...

Hey guys, I found this on the beach in Baltimore, Ireland today. Can someone please help me identify my beach find? Thanks

Hello! I got this tooth as a Christmas present, and to me it looks like a T.rex tooth, but the shape of the base made me less sure. I was hoping someone could help get a accurate id. The tooth is 10/16 of an inch long, and was found in Garfield county Montana.It has similar serrations on both sides, so I thought it was a tyrannosaur tooth. The shape, lack of pinching at the base, and thickness made me think it was T.rex, and the base looked to me like it could be a maxillary tooth since it was more rectangular than oval, but I wanted to see if anyone thought it looked more like a Nanotyrannus tooth. I can take any more pictures that would be helpful. Merry Christmas!

Hi! I found this shark tooth at Clam Pass in Naples, FL yesterday. I've only found two other super tiny teeth on the beach here during my 20+ years of living here... so I was pretty thrilled to find this one. Can anyone help me ID it? Thanks so much!

Hello ! i bought this tooth for quite a while for a very (i mean very very ) good price and i think this tooth may belong to baby carcharodontosaurus ? wound love to see you guy 's opinion ! kind regard.

Hi all, I could not resist and purchased this tooth knowing it would be a tough call to make. It was found in the Hell Creek Fm. The big problem is the worn down mesial carina, there are however some remnant denticles I could measure, but not midline – more posterior. Taking them into consideration the tooth has distal 4.5 denticles per mm and mesial 6 per mm. The other measurements are: CH 1.47 cm / CBL 0.74 cm / CBW 0.39 cm. Based on this and the oval base I am leaning towards Dakotaraptor but might as well be a specific T-Rex tooth position.? I really need someone more experienced to take a look please. Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could identify this for me. it seems to have enamel on it, my guess would be a mosasaur tooth. tia.

Found these 2 teeth the smaller one in dauphin island, Alabama, and the bigger one on Holly beach in Louisiana. I think the smaller one is chipped, the bigger one just doesn't have a root... I've had the bigger one for about a year i think and just found the smaller one. I have researched forever hope I can get suggestions from y'all

Hi all, I posted this tooth for ID a while back. Conclusion was that it could be a Dakotaraptor, maybe, maybe. Since then I am going back and forth on the ID, basically on a daily basis So I decided to take more & new images, measure it thoroughly, put it up again, and kindly ask for your help. It was found in the Hell Creek Fm, Powder River Co., Montana. Measurements are: CH: 2.08cm CBL: 0.8cm CBW: 0.42cm Serration count per 5mm is mesial 24 and distal 18. What makes it hard for me to judge: the shape of denticles is between round and chisel (?), the tiny mesial denticles, and the position of the carinae. Lowest part of the mesial carina is sheared off, but I would not expect a twist - looking closely it would end either half way or 1/3 from base. Any help is highly appreciated!

I was looking at different teeth for sale, and came upon 6 teeth listed as abelisaur teeth from the Kem Kem area of Morocco. I know that it’s hard to Id the teeth from this area, and I’m not looking for an exact id. I was wondering if any of the teeth looked like typical abelisaur teeth, or if some are likely something else. I noticed that 4 of them looked pretty similar, and the other group of 2 looked different from the 4, but similar to each other.
