Not sure if this is a tooth, fossil or junk. It is 1 3/8" long. Any thoughts?

I went to the Ernst quarries at shark tooth hill last weekend and had a great time collecting teeth. I'm new to the area and hadn't collected there before, but I met a couple there who were very experienced and helped me identify a lot of what we found. I've attached a picture of what the landscape looked like as we were getting ready to leave. Really a beautiful area, in a desolate sort of way.

From the album: Holzmaden
A very damaged and because of that small (0.5 cm long) Steneosaurus tooth from the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden, Lower Jurassic. -
Hello there! I recently purchased this tooth. It comes from Khouribga, Morocco (Maastrichtian stage)... It looks like a Squalicorax, but I'm not sure. Help? Thanks a lot, Max

Either one of these? I found a similar tooth in the same vicinity a few months ago and the concensus was plesiosaur. Thanks. North texas eagle ford 86-90 mya

This item was found on Kiptopeke beach, on the southern tip of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I collect skulls (not fossils), so was pretty sure this is an herbivore tooth, and bigger than a horse. It is heavy, like a stone. From poking around some, my guess at this stage would be a bison molar. Some kind of large, extinct bison, I'd much appreciate any discussion, as this is the first fossil of note that I've ever found.

Found this tooth tonight.! Anyone what shark it came from?!
-
Is this a piece of shark tooth. Looking at the one edge it appears serrated. It is a little over 1/2". Thanks.

Is this a piece of shark tooth? It is maybe about 1/2". Thanks!

I have inherited a BEAUTIFUL fossil from my dad who received it as a gift from his friend that lived in a remote coastal part of Western Washington. For decades I have assumed it was a branch due to the rings at the base, but couldn't make sense of the shape. There are lines on the bottom. I have been researching tooth fossils and discovered that some large teeth do in fact have lines of Von Ebner at the base. I am on a quest to try to discover what this fossil is. I'd appreciate feedback. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload my pictures. more to come! Thank you!

I have tried to compare this fossil tooth to others previously identified but I can't determine if this jaw fragment and tooth are from a tapir or not. It looks like 2 teeth are missing. Thank you for your help.

Please help identify the tooth in the attached photos. This was obtained from the W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Frankstown, MS last weekend (Cretaceous Period, Demopolis Formation). This appears to be only the crown and is right at 1/2 in. long. There are known Mosasaurs (Globidens Alabamaensis and Tylosaurids) as well as crocodiles in the area at the time. Any feedback you can give would be great. The pics were taken with a phone, but hopefully will assist in the identification. Thank you

I found this at the Wilson Clay Pit in Brown County, TX. It is Pennsylvanian. I really don't have any idea as to what it could be. Any ideas out there? The hash marks are 1mm.

Grandmother found this while on vacation. The people she was with said it's a sharks tooth, but is suspiciously looks like a dogs nail. It was found in the water, on the bottom, not like it was floating. Any one want to clarify the object? Never seen a sharks tooth that looks like that.

Can anyone tell if this looks like a fossilized tooth or rock. I found it on the hills of Canyon Lake Texas.

TFF, Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to find (what I consider) a tremendous tooth specimen in Gove County, KS. Unfortunately, plant roots got to the tip of it before I could and because I was a space case and didn't bring superglue, the tip and about 10 other pieces connecting the body to the tip fell away when I excavated it. It's relatively long and straight over its length and it appeared to be separated from the rest of the remains. I tried navigating the Oceans of Kansas site for researching what it belonged to. My first guess is Tylosaurus but I could be completely wrong. Forgive me for not being more educated in Mosasaurs. Does anybody have suggestions for the ID? I just finished trying to reconstruct it myself but my star bond bottle decided it wouldn't seal and now my hands are covered in superglue. I've decided to come to the forum to see if there are any experts out there willing to do a clean and repair job on my tooth. No, it's probably not valuable, but it holds significant sentimental value since this is my first tooth find. I think i gathered all the major pieces to do the job but I feel under-equipped and do not feel like I have the experience to be able to put it back together. Before successfully gluing myself, I was able to put some much-needed glue down on the broken surfaces of the tooth and the tip of the tooth. Now, I think it's stable enough to be shipped if necessary. It'll come with 10 coin envelopes for the connecting pieces. Any help or or suggestions for who may be the best person to contact would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

A damaged 1 cm long Steneosaurus tooth from the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden, Lower Jurassic. -
Today i was in the quarry Kromer in Holzmaden (Germany), Lower Jurassic. Shadefully the quarry is closed during winter, so it was probably my last hunt there this year. Because of that i was very motivated to find something good ... The material didnt look bad and there werent many collectors before me there, so good found opportunities. But my hopes were destroyed .... In the first 1-2 hours i only found this two imprints of great Steneosaurus teeth: This two would be great, but i cant find them I was very unhappy until i found THIS ... Its doesnt look good on the pictures, but the original is very pretty and its rare ! A 14 cm long part of a cuttle fish, maybe Loligosepia sp. (?) ....

Hi All, I recently went digging in Arcadia in the more shallow areas of Peace River. The pickings weren't bad, I assume from the recent high water. There's a few pieces that I have found that I wanted your thoughts on identification. This first piece reminded me of a fragment of mastodon tooth. I was thinking this MAY be a ground sloth tooth based on its shape. Not too sure on that, but wanted your ID. And last was this piece. The shape reminds me of a partial vertebra, but it is incredibly flat. Thanks for your help in ID'ing these!

Brain trust....Found this while searching a fossil bed in coastal Ga. my first thought was whale tooth but now not so sure. The hole in the base looks a lot like a Mammoth tusk I have but much much smaller . Could this be a juvenile tusk ? I can't see any cross hatching . Thanks for the input.

I like Mosasaurs so I've been buying some cool stuff here and there for a while now. I have some loose teeth with and without roots and a few jaws. for a while now I've been noticing some interesting patterns. Or rather a single pattern that keeps showing up. I have 42 loose teeth and a number of these teeth have some wear patterns on them. Some just have some random wear here and there or tips broken or worn off of them. But a significant number of teeth have damage to the enamel on the front side of the tooth. Sometimes on the lateral side and sometimes on the labial side. Sometimes on both sides. Of these 42 teeth, 13 have significant damage to the enamel on the front. In about 8 or so the pattern is quite similar. This pattern seems almost exclusive to the large Prognathodon teeth with the only exception being a Mosasaurus beaugei? tooth that has some wear on the front. Though this tooth isn't nearly as damage on the front as the big Prognathodon teeth. This same wear pattern also shows up on a Prognathodon jaw that I'm still prepping. This jaw shows the same damage while the teeth are still mostly in the original position aside from some minor drifting. This pattern also does not show in the jaws of other mosasaur species I have. So I'm wondering is if this could possibly be as a result of some behaviour that Prognathodon might have had. Since quite a lot of the teeth show the same type of damage and it also shows in still rooted teeth. Have any of you ever seen this same pattern on mosasaur teeth? I'm wondering what your opinions are on this. My loose mosasaur teeth, one not shown. Big Prognathodon teeth at the top. Some possible Eremiasaurus teeth below them. The small recurved tooth crown on the left is Halisaurus arambourgi. Below it two small Platecarpus ptychodon teeth. Under those two badly crushed teeth. Lower left middle Mosasaurus teeth, some probably M. beaugei and some M. hoffmanni. Globidens teeth at the bottom. Prognathodon, Mosasaurus and Globidens rooted teeth on the left. Teeth with damage on the front. Only three that aren't Prognathodon at the bottom. Detail of a Prognathodon tooth. Prognathodon jaw with the same type of enamel damage on three teeth. The teeth towards the front are too damage during the fossilisation to tell if they have similar damage.
