Found at peace river (FL). It’s ivory but not like the mammoth or mastodon ivory I’ve seen. My novice research says it’s WALRUS?! Looking for those who know to confirm/deny/educate “coo coo cachoo!” (Beatles pun for those who didn’t catch it). It also dried incredibly quickly when I put water on it - vid is for fun because it kinda blew my mind. Thanks!

Hello everyone ! I bought this Tyrannosaur tooth and the seller told me it was either a Tyrannosaurus rex or a Nanotyrannus. Can you tell me if it's a T-rex or a Nanotyrannus ? It's a premaxillary tooth. It comes from Hell Creek formation in South Dakota.

Hello, I recently bought a couple of spinosaurid teeth from the Kem Kem. I noticed one of them had serrations and I wanted to make sure it would still be considered a spinosaurid tooth. I've read over a really cool post by Troodon that helped me differentiate with the teeth from this area. There are some raised ridges on both sides which leads me to think its a spino. However, the serrations run on both sides of the tooth as well, although the distal serrations are much smaller in size, and I'm not entirely sure if spinosaurid serrations are shaped the way they are on this tooth. I tried getting a close up of them with my phone but I can get some closer ones if necessary. Thanks

Found this very lovely little tooth in my Aguja Formation matrix (Brewster Co. of Texas) and while the root makes me think mammal, I'm not sure what to make of it. @ThePhysicist I saw you posted a Metatheria which looks very very similar, so am wondering if it is the same critter?

Real Megalodon tooth with no repair or restoration?
Kurvinosaurus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! I received my first megalodon tooth today and I just wanted to make sure it looks like it’s a real one. The enamel just seems so smooth and shiny, like it was coated with something. Is that just the way these teeth look? Or is it normal for them to be prepared with a coating? Again, I’m totally new to shark teeth and any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! -
Hello, everyone! I went hunting along the North Sulphur River yesterday (before today’s nasty weather), and I found some fossils and what I am almost positive is an artifact. Could someone please help with IDs, if possible? Pictures #1 and #2 are of the same bone; I found the circular striations in the 2nd picture particularly intriguing. #7 (the artifact) is broken at the base and is fairly thick at the point where it is broken.

Hi all, Bought this tooth online a while back. It was sold to me as "Ichthyosaurus platyodon" (which I understand to mean Temnodontosaurus platyodon) from Lyme Regis. Likely found by the seller themselves, as I know they occasionally collect fossils there. However, for the following reasons, I'm not sure about this attribution: Overall, the tooth doesn't look like your typical ichthyosaur tooth to me: It has more of an oval rather than round cross-section It's labolingually flattened Messial and distal carinae run the full length of the crown and divide the tooth into labial and lingual parts While fine striations can be seen on one side of the tooth (presumably the lingual side), the other side (which would be the labial) seems entirely smooth - though some traces of rare striations can be seen on the photographs The striations are much more similar to those of crocodile or pliosaur teeth than to the plicidentine condition so typical of ichthyosaurs The horizontal banding on the tooth surface is unfamiliar to me with respect to most marine reptile teeth I have seen, but occurs much more frequently on crocodile teeth of various species I also bought another tooth with the same attribution from the seller, more or less around the same time. This one has no striations whatsoever, has a more rounded base, is less flattened and has a more rounded tip. It also has carinae. I therefore reclassified it as a probable Goniopholis sp. crocodile tooth. Now I know that not having the root makes it more difficult to identify this particular specimen, but I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to help me, as currently it goes without label. I've considered crocodile, plesiosaur and even pliosaur, but all of these have some reservations that prevent final classification. For one, none of these groups have teeth that are typically flattened like this, nor do plesiosaurs (sensu lato, thus including pliosaurs) have carinae. Crocodiles, then again, would either have or not have striations all around the tooth. And what to make of the banding: is this just preservational, or does it reflect the internal structure of the tooth - i.e. outcome of the tooth's ontological growth? Tooth measures 18 mm and is missing the tip. Thanks in advance for your help!

Found this small tooth last week while hunting the Peace River. Almost missed it in the sieve and initially thought it was just a chip of something. On getting it home and giving a closer look I became convinced it is a tooth. Maybe an incisor. After a lot of searching on line the closest I could come up with is horse incisor. Only I think it is way too small for that. The chewing surface appears more jagged and uneven then I would expect from a herbivore. The groove along the length of the tooth and its curvature are similar to what I have found on horse incisors. Measurements - Inches = 3/4"L x 3/8"W x 1/4"H CM =. 20mm L x 10mm W x 6mm H @Shellseeker, Jack - I would appreciate your input knowing how much time and effort you put into finding the small 3-toed horse fossils. Thanks, Jim W.

Hello! Looking to ID this asian theropod tooth from the late cretaceous of Bayankhongor, Mongolia that is supposedly from Alioramus sp. The serrations are quite worn for this rooted tooth and are hard to see, the entire tooth measures 60mm Below I've attached some pictures, thanks in advance!

So I own 4 Spinosaurid teeth from the KemKem beds now between 79MM and 116MM. As looking closer, they can vary a lot between the teeth. Is there any explanation. As most of the people call it the regular Spinosaurus Aegypticus. Looks to me there could have several big spinosaurids lived during the time? I am not as educated as most of you are. Hence the question I'm asking out of curiosity.

Isurus retroflexus is from the Miocene-Pliocene epochs. While the vast majority of what I find in this particular location is Miocene-Pliocene in age and is likely to have come from the Goose Creek Limestone formation (early-mid Pliocene), we can't rule out the possibility that it came from an overlying lag deposit called the Ten Mile Hill Formation. The Ten Mile Hill Formation is mid-Pleistocene and can be found overlying older formations in the area. Since Miocene-Pliocene fossils have been found in the base of the Ten Mile Hill Formation and this tooth was ex-situ, the formation is undetermined. ID references: 1. Gale, B. (2020).

Recently I purchased what is described as a Sarcosuchus tooth, but after I compared it to some Stolokrosuchus teeth I noticed some similarities with it. So now I'm wondering if it's Sarcosuchus or Stolokrosuchus. Location: Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger (Erlhaz Fm) Size: 4.3 cm (1.69 inch)

Hello. Are these teeth from a new species of Spinosaurus? Origin: Laos Gress Superieur Formation Below is information from the vendor. Ichthyobenator has been found, but "this tooth has the typical striated enamel, but is longer and thinner than a typical Ichthyobenator tooth." If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
