It has been a minute since I posted. It has been wonderfully rainy here in my part of Alabama. So I have been out hunting. I would love to know what this maybe and if it is a tooth….what mouth could have held such enamel. Found in Dry Creek where it meets Turkey Creek in Jefferson county Alabama.

Authentic Acheroraptor tooth?
JessaB posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I found this listed as a 0.31” Acheroraptor tooth from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. I messaged the seller asking about the locality/specific area it was found in and am waiting to hear back. Does it look like a genuine raptor tooth?

Recently acquired this beautiful T. rex tooth, just over 5cm / 2” length. Such teeth are typically dark brown / mahogany coloured but this specimen appears to have escaped the usual staining. The location of find (Hell Creek Fmn, nr. Mosby, Garfield Co., Montana, USA), basal rectangular cross section and thicker enamel supports identification that this is a Tyrannosaurus rex maxillary tooth. The fact that the whitish / pale colouration is consistent throughout, absence of pitting / “dried out” appearance / absence of splintering would seem to preclude sun-bleaching.

Found this on the beach

I purchased this rooted Alligatoroid tooth measuring 2.54" which was found in the Blufftown Formation on the Chattahoochee River in Stewart County, Georgia. I've been told it is a Deinosuchus schwimmeri tooth, and after some basic searching, it seems like a positive conclusion. However, I'm hoping some more knowledgeable than myself can confirm this.

While getting together some fossils for the rolling auction I came across this tooth I had bought a few years ago. I dug around on my folder of screenshots I take of fossils listings, so I don't forget what information the seller provides and it was pretty devoid of info. It was sold as a megalodon tooth. No location or any other info...yeah I know that would be handy... I assume but the looks of it, it probably came from the Carolinas or Florida. On to my observations. Seems to be no serrations on it. It looks like a nutrient pore in the center of the root on the lingal side...if I remember correctly meg's don't have that. Looking around on the internet I want to venture a guess of an anterior Carcharodon plicatilis tooth?

Hi all, Back again with a new ID request. Found a mammal bone in the surf of Asbury Park, NJ (USA); this area overlies and regularly exposes fossils from the Kirkwood formation which is known to have been a near-shore marine environment laid down during the early Miocene. The surf also occasionally reveals Pleistocene mammal bones as well as those of modern animals (have found bone bits and crab parts at various stages of fossilization for reference which makes it difficult to decide what's Neogene and what's Quaternary). My initial hunch was that this was a worn marine mammal rib and posted it to a local Facebook group with that in mind. It's very dense with minimal porosity (it was at the tide-line closest to the wave action where dense bone collects and was basically getting pulled back in by the coming high tide) which said dolphin or manatee bone to me. The responses I got were varied though. Some believed it to be a tooth due to an dark, enamel-like layer at the top of the 'top' of the specimen (it's 10cm or nearly 4 inches tall so that's a pretty big tooth). My assumption at that point was it might be Squalodon or some other odontocete from the Miocene. Another person believe it be specifically a incisor from the giant beaver Castoroides (based on the vertical striations) which would place it roughly Pleistocene in age. The final opinion, and the one that is prompting me to message here, confirmed my initial hunch that this is a rib fragment from a Miocene delphinid. I know that marine mammal fossils are relatively common on this forum and there are several experts that lurk around here... anyone have a clue? I've attached images of the specimen in question. It's ~10cm/~4in 'tall' and ~1.5cm/~0.6in 'wide' for reference. Sorry about the sand in the bone, it's basically impossible to get that out at this point. Will also take more pictures if needed.

These are from multiple trips between 2022-2023. all from Calvert cliffs, each trip has something unique I would like assistance in identifying so for convenience's sake, I will refer to the items in alphabetical order relative to the numerical trip order. 1A 2B etc. Trip 1 1A pretty sure it is a crocodile tooth, Thecachampsa sp? 1B this is a bone that i found on the beach, im not sure if it's a cetacean atlas or skull fragment. but it's got this weird hole in it on one side. 1C clearly a cetacean vert. probably a juvie dolphin. i think so bc it doesn't have any fused epiphysis. id like to know what part of the spine this would have been on the animal. 1D maybe the wing of a vert? 1E is this anything? or just concretion 1F biggest fossil I've found yet by far! this massive chunk of whale jawbone. I am going to make a separate post in fossil prep to see about the best ways to clean it. 1G maybe a rib? i believe its a bone of some sort. i need to paleobond this one back together. Trip 2 2A definetely a tooth of some sort. not sure if its a croc or a cetacean since the enamel is worn 2B maybe a rib? or vert wing? 2C I think this might be a turtle shell, because its texture is not pronounced enough to be a cookie fragment. 2D maybe a skate osteoderm? 2E 2F 2G Sand tiger shark 2H crab claw with some sort of borehole? any other comments or ideas are as always, appreciated!

Is this a Chinese dinosaur tooth? Please let me know and thanks in advance. Nanxiong Formation, Ganzhou city, Jiangxi province

Ok - what about this? Tooth maybe? (Pics 1-3) It doesn't really feel like a plain old rock.....sometimes it kinda looks like one though. What about pics 4 & 5? It's gotta be a bone.

Hello! I’m looking for some help finding out what this could be… A few people have suggested a mammal claw, squid beak, therapod(?) tooth or just a piece of flint! Found at Highcliffe beach, Dorset, UK in amongst the shingle and shark teeth. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Is this a Zhuchengtyrannus tooth? I am currently looking for better photos from the seller. If the seller sends me a picture, I will post the picture. Production area information Xingezhuang Formation from the Wangshi Group, Zhucheng city, Shangdong, China

I found this on the Peace River in Florida - any suggestions appreciated - I’m leaning towards a tapir canine.

HI all! I am pretty sure this is a theropod tooth - it has carinae but only on one side. It's curve is odd though. I can't quite seem to place an ID on it. Any help will be appreciated! It's 4 mm

Two more unknowns - both from the Peace River in Florida - one of them looks and feels like a tooth, or part of one. The second I’m really unsure of.

Found this at Stump Park, east coast of Florida - it looks and feels like enamel - any ideas?

I found this interesting little fossil while searching through micro matrix from Aurora NC (Pungo River and Yorktown Formations). My first thought was that this could be a commissural tooth from a cow shark (I believe both sixgill and sevengill sharks are known from this location). I haven't had great luck finding pictures of fossilized cow shark commissural teeth to compare to, as these tiny teeth are understandably scarce in the fossil record. I did read through a discussion about commissural teeth in the "Extreme posterior shark teeth!" thread here on the forum, which was very helpful. I hope to get some opinions on this fossil and potential ID. Has anyone found a cow shark commissural tooth from Lee Creek/Aurora and have any pictures they'd be willing to share? Here are pictures of the front and back of the fossil, it measures just over 3mm. Here's a picture of some modern broadnose sevengill shark (Notorynchus cepedianus) commissural teeth that I used for comparison. I think these could be a good match to my fossil, and I'm curious to hear others' thoughts.

Found inside of another rock when smashed outside of the Kiamichi mountains. Done the lick fossil test and it sucked saliva from the spot. What could it be? Aprx 2 1/2” tall 1 3/4in wide and 3/4” thick. Softer than quartz.

Hi again. I got this tooth and would like to get sure which species it is and which part of the mouth it could be from. Its in the matrix so sadly Im unable to see labial side. Tooth is curving towards so its lingual side if Im right. I marked tooth as A and believe it would be M. beaugei, but facets were bit difficult to see and get in a picture, but I would count 5 or 6. Its medium size and almost dagger shaped, so I think its not robust enough to be M.hoffmanni. I believe tooth marked as B would be M.beaugei with its more prismatic nature and having 5 labial facets. But I noticed that tooth I believe to be M.hoffmanni (3 labial facets) marked as C, has quite strong lingual facets too. Sorry Im not perfect with terminology, but it also has these half edges that I think does not create facet? Bigger M.hoffmanni one only has these half edges. So am I counting these right? Thank you for your answers.

Found what looks like a tooth fragment last week. I've only ever found Petalodus teeth in this formation and it doesn't quite look like those. There are no serrations on the fragment. This was found in Allegheny County, PA, is from the Glenshaw Formation and is probably out of the Brush Creek Limestone.Thanks for the help.
