Hello, I saw this tooth for sale on the Internet. Unfortunately the photo was very bad, so I tried to creat a vector graphic. I'm not sure if the tooth belongs to a hemipristis or a blue shark. Can you help me with this? The tooth measures a little over 1cm to the tip and was found in Indonesia (Pacific ocean). Best regards from Germany!

Hello, this washed up on the beach in Venice, Fl. I'm guessing it's a three-toed horse tooth? If so, what would age be? Thanks for any help.

Hi, This question is between categories. Has anyone seen markings (numbers) on a shark tooth like this? I have tried to wipe them off with acetone, and they will not come off. Any idea how they were applied or how to remove them?

good day everyone, this summer I went to Uzbekistan for holidays, knowing that I could have found some fossil, in fact once upon a time uzbekistan like many other countries was covered by the tethys sea! the great Aral lake (now almost dried up because of men) is what remains of the tethys. During my trip I found many formation rich of fossil, unfortunately the carbonate matrix was too hard to work without my beloved Estwing and I had to leave all those beautiful coral and shells . However during a visit at the bottom of Aral sea, inside the shale and sands exposed by the drying up of the sea,I found this beautiful shark tooth. Sharks are not my specialization so I'm a little bit lost. With a quick research I discovered that those Sediments are probably Eocene/oligocene in age. May it be a Striatolamia?

Evening all, we found this tooth about a year and a half ago in the shallow waters of Duck Lake in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada, just a couple of inches below the sand. I have no clue what it is but I am guessing some sort of tooth - curious if anyone has any ideas. I have added one additional photo in the comments section as I couldn't make the pic any smaller to put in this original post. Thanks and let me know if more info is needed.

Hey guys I found this 2 days ago, on the same place as the other ones, Pleistocene deposits south of Charleston, I was wondering if I could get this tooth identified. It is for sure carnivore. (it is hollow on the inside as well) Sorry guys I tried to crop and brighten but it didn't work out. Thanks, Wyatt

Yesterday, I got back from a family vacation to California. While there, I was able to spend two days digging at the Ernst Quarries. The weather was beautiful and the teeth were plentiful! Carcharodon planus hiding in the rock.

Mosasaurus - lower jaw?
Berkeleybengal posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Could experts share the primary indicators to check for regarding authenticity of a Mosasaurus jaw specimen? - specifically root / tooth junctures. I’m aware of the sophistication of fakes in the market. Below is a recent purchase - I’d like feedback on details to look for in verifying authenticity. Thank you!

Teeth like this confuse me - i believe it is either a Plesiosaur or Pterosaur tooth (listed as Pterosaur from the seller) and it comes from the cretaceous sediments of Stariy Oskol, Belgorod region in Russia according to the description. It is 4cm in length. Any idea what this tooth most likely is? Thanks.

This is my first post on this forum, although I have relied on it for some time as a great resource for learning how to ID fossils. I would really appreciate some help identifying a small molar (or premolar) we found while sifting gravel in the Peace River near Wauchula, Florida, US. Based on its shape, I'm gussing that it's from a terrestrial mammal but I really don't know for sure. From what I've read, the Peace River terrestrial fossils are generally Pleistocene, while marine fossils are typically Miocene. For those unfamiliar with US coins, the tooth is about 13mm tall and about 7mm wide. It has a three-prong root, and a pretty aggressive crown.

Cooper River Megalodon (Fake or Real)
HunterMeg posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, You have been overwhelming helpful in previous posts. Thank you! A local person is wanting to sell this tooth. He says it is from the Cooper River. L1 is 5.81, L2 is 5.64 and W is 4.52. It weighs 15.6 oz. I looked at it under UV and magnifying glass, and it looked legit. Do you think it is real or fake?

I’ve had this for a while, and always assumed it was real. I saw a video of someone looking at fake teeth, and they said you could tell because you could see bubbles in the tooth from if it was a mold of some sort. It’s a little over 5 inches long, and I believe it was an Atlantic Ocean find, but I don’t remember much more about where it was supposedly found. I circled the area that I thought looked the most bubble like, but I’m not really sure what to think. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I found this tooth looking fossil in Parrish, Fl. It looks similar size to a large gator tooth but it’s more almond shaped. It does have a very apparent ridge on one side and the ridge appears to have little serrations towards the bottom of it. I have never found a tooth like this before...the inside looks completely solid but does appear to have a slightly different color core. Please help ID, and thanks again for looking!

Hello friends, I recently found this tooth that has some gator looking characteristics, but the size absolutely dwarfs every other gator tooth in my collection. My mind was absolutely blown when I found this thing. It was found in Bradenton, Fl. It’s about 2.5” long and 1” wide and the widest point. It’s in poor condition but from the enamel and hole inside Im thinking its def. a tooth. It’s hollow from about the halfway point up. What is this monster tooth!? I think the site is part of hawthorn group Arcadia formation Oligocene/Miocene but do not quote me on that part, still trying to confirm my sites as it can be tricky to get an exact pinpoint when cross referencing google maps with Florida geological maps. I have another tooth in question I will post separately. Thanks so much for looking
