So the odd Kem Kem tooth I bought online arrived today. It does have a bit of a funky shape to it. • Chunky with a recurve. • Oval cross section. • Mesial carina naturally extends only to 1/2 way down the mesial face. • Distal carina reaches cervix. • No wrinkled enamel. • No obvious interdental succuli. Denticle count at midline - Mesial: 13/5mm Distal: 10/5mm Close up of denticle shape (distal midline):

A 1.4 cm long Ichthyosaur tooth from the lower Jurassic from the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden (Germany). Some more pictures: -
This tooth I found online recently has me a bit stumped. The seller lists it as belonging to Bahariasaurus, but I can't find even probable images of a tooth from one to compare. * Forgot to say, it is from the Kem Kem. The denticles don't look too much like an Abelisaurid, but the side profile of the tooth seems a bit odd for a Carcharodontosaurid. The mesial carina also appears to only extend roughly 1/2 down the face of the tooth. Denticle count at midline (from what I can fathom): Mesial: 16/5mm Distal: 11/5mm This is the only photo, I'm afraid... I know how difficult it is to identify anything without detailed photos, but does anyone have any rough thoughts as to what this one might belong to?

Picked up this beautiful pathological Cuban Meg Tooth a couple days ago. It measures 5.25” with a killer twist.

I found what appears to be a fossilized tooth on the shore of the Tidal Potomac River in MD. Could you help with the identification? Thanks!

Hi all, I recently went on a trip to Brownie's Beach in Maryland in search of Hemies, and I came home with some pretty good little teeth and a few decent sized ones. However, there was one tooth that I found I could not identify. I am not really sure what shark it belongs to, it sort of resembles a sand tiger but the root is very robust and thick. Im more or less lost as to what it could be. Wishful thinking, but I thought it might be a baby megatooth shark or a mako or something along the lines of that. Its a long shot, but I thouht i would ask to see if anyone else could Identify it, haha!

Hey folks, Thought I'd run it by the forum experts as to whether you agree with the Carcharodontosaurid label for my new acquisition (which it was sold as)? Locality is the usual Kem Kem beds, Morocco. Serration density- Mesial: 10/5mm Distal: 9/5mm Distal serrations run to the base, while the mesial serrations end about 3/4 of the way down the carinae. It's a chunky little thing, but I gather Carch teeth can occasionally be on the more robust side....but I'll let you judge: Side Views: Base: Distal: Mesial:

Plesiosaurus/Crocodile teeth
suchomimus20 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I was looking around on internet then i saw this Plesiosaurus tooth for sale and i wanted to get it but i wondered if it was a actual fossil or just a fake. It was said to be found in Khouribga Phosphate Mine, Morocco, is 100 million years old (Cretaceous) and is 45 by 15 mm

Looking to get an ID on this little guy...is it just an extremely worn sharks tooth stripped of its enamel? Whale tooth? Porpoise tooth? Found on the beaches of Wilmington, NC, in dredged material. It was definitely something at some point in time!

Found at bottom of Eagle Ford / top of Woodbine, the Cenomanian and Turonian age. No idea on the first on microscope at 60x, 2mm at longest part. I may have to get a better pic. Second and third pics are the same piece at 10x and 60x, scale in second pic is mm, so 10 mm length. End kind of looks like a tooth, but a jaw would have more than one tooth, so that part makes me think not tooth. I think it is unique enough looking that someone will know what it is. If you look at the 10x picture, some of it flaked off, you can kind of see an outline to the right of how long it was. thanks in advance

I found what looks like a tooth in the Peace River near Arcadia, Florida. Any idea what it came from?

Found a few of these teeth on the beach (dredged material) in Wilmington, NC. They seem awfully small to be whale teeth. Anyone?

Here's my latest (tiny) acquisition from the Kem Kem: Looking at the general morphology and almost 'hooked' shape of the denticles on the distal carina, I'm not sure whether this one fits more as a juvenile carcharodontosaurid, juvenile abelisaurid or would fit closer to the dromaeosaurid-like teeth described here?: Mesial midline denticle count: 9/2mm Distal midline denticle count: 7/2mm Both carinae extend to the base. Distal edge: Mesial edge: Cross section (anterior of tooth facing top): Due to the strong lateral compression & apparent lack of interdental succuli, I would hedge my bets on juvie abelisaur, but those denticles are making me doubt it a bit. Anyone got any thoughts?

Looking to get an ID on this little guy. I’ve found one or two before this one. Some kind of back plate perhaps?
-
Pretty new to this. Found this on my first look in the Big Brook in NJ. Based on the even spaced serrations and the cracked enamel look, could this be a worn theropod tooth? About the size of a quarter. Thanks!

Hi folks, I've seen a tooth for sale listed as a Dromaeosaurus Albertensis. I trust the seller's ID, but I'm not 100% confident with dromaeosaurs, so would just like to hear what the forum experts think? Locality: Judith River Fm. (Havre, Montana) Size: 2cm These are the only photos, I'm afraid. There is apparently a twist in the mesial carinae, but it's not super clear. Thanks in advance, guys!

Does anyone know what these lines are on this tooth from the Lourhina, Portugal and do they help in ID?
-
This is being sold as a noasaurus leili tooth from Patagonia. How does it look? It measures 1inch and is it ID’ed correctly? On a scale of common to almost impossible to acquire where is it? Thanks in advance.

Hi! I´m not very familiar with Russian dinosaur teeth, But I saw this tooth for sale and its labeled as Kileskus from Itat formation Russia. Is it possible that it is the correct id or could it be something else? The photos isnt very good though

Hola folks, Just picked up an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny tooth from the gift that keeps on giving; Morocco. It was sold as a juvenile Spino tooth, but I'm thinking there's a better chance of it being croc? I liked the look of it, so bought it anyway. Location given: "Hamada gu Guir, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco." Not sure if you can pick out from my crummy photos, but there are definitely denticles present on the carinae, running all the way from tip to base of the crown. There is also fluting present on both the labial & lingual sides of the tooth, running the full crown length. The cross-section appears to be roughly oval, though could be considered circular (it's hard to tell with the shape of the base). Denticles most noticeable in this one: Profile of denticles can also be (kind of) clearly seen on the right side of the tooth here: And a couple more shots: With the lingual curve and denticles, I'd assume croc from this part of the world, though I've read that labial/lingual curves can be found on Baryonychidae....if only haha! Any input on narrowing down exactly what it might be would be much appreciated.

Hi I have built a case on all the Rocks I have shown and tried to send to you.and I get shut down at every corner.I am looking for the open-minded out-of-the-box thinker these are real fossils I have found and truly believe they are. This is all connected to the stone flaky all the lines run into the hard part of the gray area lines to all different sides of this decaying Rock like tooth

Hi new to the forum I found this many years ago walking along a beach not sure what it is or best ways to maybe extract them as there is a few of what you see throughout the rock.

Please help I’d this tooth I found while arrowhead hunting

Hi, I was wondering if this tooth could be from a Pliosaur. It is from the Goulmima area in Morocco. It is 8.8cm in length and some of the striations remain near the tip (the size is what makes me think Pliosaur). Thanks.
