Fifty years ago my friend found this tooth on the beach near Vancouver. She has always wondered what animal it belongs to. In the picture with two teeth the smaller is from moose remains we found while hiking on a mountain.

New to Venice beach FL, been picking up lots of shark teeth and stuff from puffers and rays but this is a new one. Picked it up just north of the Venice inlet. Any ideas? Photos are next to a millimeter caliper.

Hello fellow fossil enthusiasts, In the pictures included in this post it shows a molar I have found last summer. I found it within a bed of shells on a Dutch beach. I can’t remember the name of the beach, It however was rather close to Zandmotor, which is famous for its ice age mammal bones. I have shown this molar to a fossil buyer/seller and he has told me its possibly an unused molar of a woolly rhino. I thought I’d put it on here too however to see if anybody agrees. thanks for looking, AnyArthropod

Hi all, Saw this tooth and Im not really sure how to distinguish pachy and thesc premax teeth well. Looked at @Troodon’s thread though from what I can see, I think Im leaning towards my tooth as a pachy just based on morphology similarities. Tooth is from Powder River County, Montana and is 5/16th of an inch. Thanks!

I'd recently received this tooth and was wondering if it would be able to be identified. The serrations are worn off, it's about .2 inches and the only providence that I have is Hell Creek. Thanks for any help. One side The other side And one of the carina

Saw this tooth while browsing. Looked so off and maybe entirely reconstructed or fake. Any ideas?

I've had some free time this weekend, so I decided to mix things up and try hunting the Brazos instead of the usual cretaceous formations around Austin and DFW. The Pleistocene period is something I've always been fascinated by (probably due to the Ice Age movies), so the long drive wasn't enough to dissuade me. The weather was just right which made a day by the river all the better. This being my first time at the Brazos, I was a bit unfamiliar with the geography/prime hunting locations. I settled on parking by a bridge and decided to spend my day checking out both sides of the river. Navigating my way to the water was more treacherous than I was expecting and I wound up having a close encounter with a black snake that may have been a cottonmouth. The sandbars were unfortunately mostly sand. However, dotted about here and there were patches of gravel. Most of my day I saw footprints all around me so I knew I was definitely not the first person to have hit up the spot. The first 4/5 of the day was a bit slow. I found the occasional piece of bone or turtle, but nothing too exciting. Only until the final hour of daylight did I reach a distant area of the sandbar (about a mile from my car) that began yielding some cool specimens. I didn't get a chance to study them closely until I was home because things got dark very quickly! Being alone at the dark river gave off spooky vibes so I ran a good portion of the distance back (with my fossils in pocket which was a bad idea). Thankfully, I made it back without any major disasters and I've since had some time to rest and take a closer look at my finds. Below are pictures of my most interesting finds that I would like to learn more about. All in all, I'd say the trip was a unique experience and worth the time! Overview of my favorite finds: ' Each item and some closeups: A: Definitely a horse tooth. Parts of it are missing. It may just be wishful thinking, but I think it could be from a three-toed horse? There are Miocene and Pliocene deposits upriver so I suppose it's a possibility. B: A couple of my favorite turtle shell fragments from the many I picked up. Unfortunately that small crack on the flat piece caused it to break in half right after I snapped my pics. Guess that happened because I ran with it in my pocket... oops. C: Looks like an old bison tooth to me. D: Not sure what this is. Could it be mammoth enamel? E: I think it's a scute possibly from an alligator. F: Looks to be a part of a tooth. Bovid would be my guess. I: This one is the strangest of the bunch in my opinion. Looks like tooth material, but it's hard to say. In the first closeup, I notice that there are bands run across the piece in a consistent pattern. Let me know if they are any closeups you would like for me to upload! Thanks for reading.

Enormous Cheap Cheap Cheap Spinosaurus Tooth
Guest posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good evening everyone, today I have the fantastic idea to bought 5.5 inch spinosaurus tooth. The price was 4 times cheaper than normal. The seller told me that it was the same tooth but glued at four different parts. Please see at the attached photos the red flags. In the fifth photo you can see many black spots on the tooth. Are these black spots part of the fossilization or are they part of a glue made by human action? Do you think I was right to buy it or would you have discarded this tooth?

I bought this tooth together with two other teeth as ''Smilodon teeth'' last year. Thanks to this forum, I found out that the other two teeth are actually Enchodus teeth! I think this one might be something else. Someone on Reddit told me that it could be a crocodile tooth, but I have little to no knowledge about crocodile teeth. I understand if it's difficult to identify, because the tooth isn't complete. It's 2cm and the seller couldn't give me information about where this was found. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Two oddities here, both from Yorktown spoils. The first has a general tooth shape with a double root, but is uniformly coated with a smooth enamel. The broken roots show cores similar to other marine mammal teeth I’ve found. Maybe this is unerupted? The second looks like an osteosed fish skull element but is just huge for the location at 95mm. The porgy occipital elements I’ve found here are barely 15mm long. any direction is welcomed! frank

Hi Folks, I've made two trips to the river in the last week and most of what I have found was the usual stuff. This mammal tooth is eluding me when it comes to ID. It's a little banged up, but I think enough of the crown is intact to facilitate an ID, but I can't find anything that looks close. Anyone know what critter this is? It does appear to be fossil and not recent. Thanks! MikeG PS - a proper trip report and more photos coming later.

Hi all. I know this is not a great tooth by any standard. But to be honest, I do like how it shows its age. Also, it emphasizes how well preserved my other teeth are. And it is nice and chunky! The tooth has lost some of the features to make an accurate ID. Still, it looks Spinosaurid to me. Could it possibly be something else? It is 7 cm long and from the Kem Kem beds. Thanks!

Im thinking this is probably a deer tooth since it doesn't look too fossilized. I was also thinking possibly camel or rhino since they look similar but im pretty bad at ID’ing mammal teeth. The other item is fossilized and looks like a broken piece of bone, but im not sure.

Hello! I am student of the biological sciences with an intended minor in geology. I have been collecting fossils for a long time, and am excited to join the forum! I just purchased my first "dinosaur" specimen from an annual fossil show. My collection and interest has always been in Paleozoic invertebrates, so my dinosaur knowledge is extremely limited. The seller said the species was of the Dromaeosaurus genus and the origin was from the well known Hell Creek formation, however I took everything he said with a grain of salt. After reading some previous posts on the forum i've seen that it may be from morocco, and henceforth not part of the Dromaeosaurus genus. The length of the tooth is exactly 1/2 an inch in length. I've included some photos below of the exact condition in which it was sold to me. I know identification from a single tooth can be difficult, so I'm grateful for any information that can be provided on the specimen! Please let me know if more adequate photos need to be provided, I have several microscopes in my collection that could get a closer view of the serrations.

Found this a few years back on a beach in the North Carolina Outer Banks, near Emerald Isle. Roughly 5 cm long. I think it looks similar to some fragments of mastodon tooth enamel I've seen on this site, but I'm not sure if I'm on the right track with that thinking. The "back" side (photo 3) looks less like a fossil and more like a lumpy rock, but the striated side has me wondering. Would very much appreciate ideas and input!

Hey All! Some more finds from a quick weekend hunt down in Monmouth NJ. Though a bit weathered I think I finally found my -more or less- complete 1st mosasaur tooth ?? Would love your input on this and other finds below! it's very worn and the enamel cracked after it dried out in the cold so will need repair. But what do you all think? Here are some other miscellaneous finds from the trip. Is top right turtle bone or something else? Not sure what the mystery bone 2nd to bottom right is either. What do you all think? Turtle?

Since I bought a couple of (very nice) Abelisaurid teeth from Kem Kem, which I initially thought where Dromaeosaurid, I am on the lookout for potential Dromaeosaurid teeth from Kem Kem. I think this tooth (1.9 cm) might be a candidate, but I have been wrong before. What are your thoughts? Should I ask for better pictures of the serrations or a serratiom count?

Hi there everyone! I’ve recently been looking for a tyrannosaur tooth to add to my collection and I came in contact with a very nice seller who’s in possession of two theropod teeth. The main tooth I have questions about is the “Albertosaurus” tooth as that one seems to be the one which would be easiest to ID. I was wondering if it was truly an Albertosaurus tooth or if there was any other identification that could be given to it. The other tooth, the “Tyrannosaurus Rex” tooth, only has one picture and seems to be in two pieces. I’m aware that the single picture makes it near impossible to properly identify, but I’d greatly appreciate it if you guys could still give it a shot and give a rough guess. Since it’s somewhat small I reckon it could be a Nanotyrannus specimen, though I’m aware that a view of the bottom of the tooth would be somewhat necessary to identify it as such. Thank you everyone for your help. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here in this forum and I can’t wait to keep learning and sharing!

Just acquired this whale tooth, listed as an Odontocete from the Yorktown formation in Aurora North Carolina... trying to possibly narrow down the species, so I'm hoping there's someone who has some indepth experience with this formation and type of tooth...

Can anyone tell what type of tooth this is? It seems to be fossilized but I really can’t tell. Found in Florida. My guess is a small mammal but idk what type.

Fake or real ID request on angustidens tooth
OliverH posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I recently bought this angustidens tooth while on a trip. It wasn’t extremely expensive or too good to be true, and as far as I can tell is legitimate. I’ve never bought from this seller before, and I am typically wary of vendors I have no experience with. Im not super knowledgeable when it comes to shark teeth, so I wanted a second opinion on the legitimacy of this tooth. Thank you for any help you can provide!

Got this tooth from indonesia with some megs I bought. Any ideas about the id? Thanks

Hi all. This tooth is advertised as an Rebbachisaurus tooth from Kem Kem (these are the only pictures provided). I have tried to find comparable teeth in earlier topics on this forum, but I was not really able to find a good match. What do you think? Is it a Sauropod tooth? Could it be Rebbachisaurus or probably something else? Or are more pictures or details needed? Thanks!
