Hello, I have another mosasaur tooth ID question. This is listed as Mosasaurus beaugei from Kem Kem Morocco, on the small side at just over 4.1 cm. Based on what I recall @Praefectus said, is it possible this is actually a M. hoffmanni? It has very few, prominent facets, which are apparently diagnostic to hoffmanni rather than beaugei? @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Sadly the tooth doesn't seem in the best shape though. Thanks!

Items collected during Nov 5th 2022 at Ladonia Fossil Park near Ladonia Texas. Any help with identification would be much appreciated, as well as descriptions of the key traits to hone in on to rule out other possibilities. Trying to learn what I can. Many thanks!

My buddies and I recently went on a trip to Andalusia Alabama. We got an airbnb near the point a dam. We retrieved a few teeth that we believe are some goblin shark teeth and a auriculatus shark tooth, perhaps. If anybody has any insight please feel free to comment. I have some more pictures that I will upload from one other trip that I did by myself.

Show Us Your Wide Boys! A Thread For The Widest And Fattest Megalodon Teeth
Kurufossils posted a topic in Member Collections
Heres a fun thread for those to show off their widest and fattest looking megalodon teeth fossils in thier collections. I'll set the tone with the widest fat boy in my collection, I don't have digital calipers but it measure roughly 5.4 inches wide by 6.1 inches long. When I close my hand together it looks even more monstrous. Share yours and join the wide boyclub Got the idea while thinking about what the widest megalodon tooth ever found measures, if anyone does know do share in this thread!

Hi, Thank you all so much for your vast expertise. I have been a novice member for some months and have learnt so much from browsing around this forum. It is fascinating and l can happily spend hours here. I only have a few fossils , all common and easily identified. But l recently aquired this tooth which with the help of information on this forum l am tentatively labelling as a Sperm Whale tooth (Pygmy ?) It has horizontal banding and a hollow base which l think are characteristics? Unfortunately l have no information asto its region of origin. But it does have an old inventory (?) number on it, so it has been in someones collection for a while. At first glance it looks like there is a horrible repair/ patch on its tip. But this does not seem to be the case, just feeding damage wearing the tooth down to the underlying enamel area ? If l understand this correctly the cementum is on the outside of whale teeth and the enamel only shows through on the tip where it is worn away with feeding ? Any information as to age ,species etc would be gratefully received. (even if it turns out to be a croc tooth !) Thanks so much Sue

My brother found this tooth years ago at big brook. It looks reptilian to me, and seems to have the root preserved as well.

Is this a dasyatid tooth? It seems different from the others I'm finding in this micro matrix. Grid lines 1mm spaced.

We recently picked up a landscaping and grass cutting job at a big office for a boat company with several warehouses and an office, etc. I noticed near one of their storage shed was reddish dirt, sandy and full of rocks, typical of the creeks of Northern and Central Louisiana or Mississippi, probably hauled in from 100 miles away. I noticed this and said to myself to keep my eyes out, might find a fossil or arrowhead. Sure enough, this was just barely sticking out. At first I thought it was a cow but realized it was way too big. It also passed the fire and sound test. From looking at others online, I figure it looks like a bison molar 3 from the lower jaw.

Hello, Just want to ask for some opinions on whether this is a Smilodon incisor and how one would be able to identify it as such since it’s in pretty worn condition, it seems more likely that it could be either dire wolf or bear and that the “Smilodon name” is just to get more attention and money for the fossil? Thanks in advance, appreciate any help!

Should probably post more in this forum section since we’re doing multiple hikes a week but here’s a couple cool finds from today out in the dinosaur park formation. The wildfires here in Alberta have been raging wild, the smoke finally made it this far south. Here’s a couple nice tyrannosaur teeth, thankfully we found the big one when we did, would have exploded soon. It’s probably around 2.5 inches haven’t measured it yet.

Wondering if the species can be ID. Found in Pierre shale SD. Both teeth were touching the pointy bone. Is that a jaw? Also I put a b72 alternative on them but it sometimes leaves a white film on it which you can see in the photos. Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Online I found this tooth for sale, the seller presents it as Afrovenator abakensis tooth from Tiouraren Hill in Niger. In my limited experience I know that it is not always easy to identify which species or genus the found teeth belong to. In this case, from the photos, is it possible to understand if it is really an Afrovenator or maybe another species?

Our family was beach combing on San Jose island on the Texas coast. My daughter found a tooth that’s approximately 17 cm long. We have had no luck identifying it and hope you all may be able to help. The first photo with the tooth closest to the ruler seems to be the front side as the supposed tooth has a slight curve to it and I’m assuming the curve would have gone toward the back of the tooth when attached to the animal. The second is the back view. Both sides have a channel that runs almost the length of the tooth. The tip seems to have broken off but appears that the tooth would have come to a point.

Found this little gem, amongst some gar scales. And ideas? Alberta Badlands

Hello everyone! I’m a new member to the site but have been using and reading post for years for identification sources. I have a piece I found yesterday that I didn’t recognize and has me wondering. I found it where I have been digging mammoth remains and don’t see it coming from a mammoth. It’s fossilized bone and porous. Not sure if it’s a horn, bone, claw or what? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Can I get some help with identifying this tooth found in Oregon, but we have nothing this large here. Images that look similar are dire wolf or African lion. It was found while digging at the base of a old pine tree.

Hey everyone! I’ve been looking for answers for years now on this tooth I found. It’s 3 inches long, and doesn’t have any enamel left. I found it on one of my shark teeth journeys back in 2013, after a Tropical Storm passed through. I know this is a type of tooth, as I can see where the root attaches to the gums. But the only closest thing I can find that resembles this is a pterodactyl tooth. Now, I found this in North Florida, and the beaches are replenished with sand from the St John’s river. So very cool stuff I’ve found, I do have a great collection but this particular tooth I’m stumped on and so is two professors that I’ve asked. Any ideas?
