I recently acquired a collection of Cretaceous fossils from the estate of a Dallas, TX, collector—mostly shark teeth. Unfortunately, they didn’t come with location info, though they were most likely collected in North Texas. I could use help identifying two of the non-shark fossils (and probably some of the shark teeth too, which I may post later). The scale in these photos is in centimeters. #1 - Is this a plesiosaur tooth? There are two cutting edges, on opposite sides of the tooth (see the third set of photos, top and bottom). #2 - I have no idea what this is. Thanks for looking!

Hello - I am wondering if anyone would be able to help identify this tooth that I found on Folly Beach about 2 years ago? Thank you in advance.

All found on the beach in Jacksonville Beach FL like twenty years ago. Area known to produce Pleistocene mammals. 1. Thinking sloth phalanx. Note proximal epiphysis is missing/unfused. If it is sloth, does anyone known what kind? Is it medial? 2. Guess is bison first lower premolar 3. Equus sesamoids? Any help is appreciated.

Hi, my name is Jess, I am from a city in Massachusetts where we are lucky enough to have commercial fishermen go out and bring back some of the best seafood. I dated a fishermen for a bit and I could of cared less about money, I always wanted the sand dollars and sea glass and for such a horrible relationship I was at least able to make it out alive with what we thought to be possibly a saber tooth tigers? I appreciate any feedback. Thank you ! Jessie

Hello, any thoughts on this ? it is sold as tanystropheus tooth from Middle Triassic deposits of Wurzburg, Germany. 17mm in length. Edit: Formation is Muschelkalk. Hope it checks out. I've always had a fondness for long neckes tanystropheus. I see nothosaur teeth look similar, but seem to be quite distinctly curved, so im hopeful this isnt as misidentified nothosaur. Thanks

I found this unusual little guy in my screen at GMR. I don't think it is fossilized, but I was hoping someone out there recognized the tooth. My guess is racoon, badger or something like that. Thanks.

Looking for ideas as to what these once were? They were found among others in the same area. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.

Calvert formation. Ruler in metrics. Not so sure if it’s a tiny sand tiger species or something else.

I don't know if this is a claw or tooth or even something else. It is about 7/8 inch long. From a central East Coast Florida beach. Thanks for all the help.

Hi, I found these a few months ago at Happisburgh. I'm hoping the black orange bit is a mammoth tooth fragment. I also found this grey rock, I've tried to look online but can't find anything similar looking to work out what it is. Many thanks.

I found these for sale. They look fake, painted teeth. What do you think?

Hi again. I have another one for you. I think I could tell if it wasn't broken! Found in green mill run. It is 1.5 inches or 3.8 cm. There is a definite ridge on one side. I tried to get a good picture of its location, the cavity seems slightly oval. Thank you again! I really appreciate you all teaching and helping me!

Hello. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for a good shark tooth identification field guide for the Carolina's (or just a general guide). I currently use 'Fossil Shark Teeth of the World' by Joe Cocke. I like the book and layout, but the pictures are black and white and often not very good. I would also be interested in a more desk bound book if it included more high quality pictures. Thanks!

Hey everyone!! I ran across something that was given to me many years ago when I was a child, and am interested in learning more about it. It has a paper with it stating what it is supposed to be, but I'm not 100% sure it's accurate either. Thanks for any help that can be given!!
