    Tusk or tooth?

    Recently went an area known for pleistocene and pliocene material in North Carolina. Stumbled upon what has me wondering is either a tusk or a tooth of some kind. I did find mammoth material there, but never a tusk. But because there's also pliocene, not sure if it's something from then. Would love to know what you all think

    Tooth Identification Help (Alaska)

    Can anyone help with identifying this tooth? All I know is it comes from Alaska... exactly where in AK I can't say. I'm thinking walrus but it is quite small (just over 1 inch). Thanks.

    “COO COO CACHOO!!”

    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!

    A tusk

    On May 12th, 2020 I found this fossil in a Florida location that predominately has produce Miocene era fauna. On the same day, I found other fossils that grabbed my attention and my postings to the forum were mostly about the other items found that day. I am posting this today for a couple of reasons: 1) I would like my own identification confirmed, 2) I would seek other similar finds from other forum members. and most important, 3) I would like a record in TFF of the photos and find , so that I can more effectively retrieve it for myself and link other members to it. So to the photos. It is a fragment and I have only found 1 fossil from this mammal. So, I think I have enamel/ivory wrapping the outside of a slice of a tusk. When found, I did not know what animal produced this, but know I think I do....In the last photo, there is a raised tunnel on the outside of the ivory. Here is my guess:

    In the News, NC Walrus Tusk

    https://myfox8.com/news/north-carolina/aurora-fossil-museum-helps-identify-walrus-fossil-tusk-found-in-north-carolina/ I have seen a number and even found a Very small piece ...but I am not sure that I would have identified this as Walrus...
  7. I'm trying to identify the polished fossil material in this Georgian English snuffbox, circa 1760 to 1820. Is it mammoth ivory? Walrus? Wood? Something else? The material is set in unhallmarked sterling silver. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Adam
  8. Hey all, Thought I would share this blog post that has a comprehensive review of all papers in marine mammal paleontology published in 2020. Enjoy! https://coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2020/12/2020-in-review-advances-in-marine.html

    Amazing Pertified Creatures

    I found these petrified specimens on private land in the northwest part of San Antonio, Texas over the last 10 months. I did little, if any digging, as recent rain has exposed them. I'm here to learn about the science, as well as what I have in my possession. They are beautiful creatures whom appear to have been frozen in time. What exactly are they and how did they end up in this state of condition. I'm excited to hear you responses as I am new to this "world of fossils" but a willing participant. Thanks for letting me take part.
  10. Multiple new walruses described in this paper. https://phys.org/news/2020-11-paleontologists-uncover-species-extinct-walruses.html
  11. Hi everyone, I recently came across online Alaskan fossils. Specifically they are a Polar Bear and Walrus tooth from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. There doesn't seem to be much of a consensus on the age ranges for those teeth, and having those would be useful to me. According to a geological map, St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, is Quaternary at its earliest: https://alaska.usgs.gov/science/geology/state_map/interactive_map/AKgeologic_map.html. That already puts me at a range of 2.6 million - 11,000 years, pretty wide. Initial research suggests polar bears evolved maybe 150,000 years ago, and their oldest fossils are around 120,000. I have no idea on the walrus yet. Does this mean, though, that my polar bear tooth is between 11,000 and 120,000 years old, or could it be narrowed down further? I'd love some insight from those who have knowledge of these aspects of paleontology. I would appreciate age ranged on the polar bear and walrus fossils found on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. Thank you, Bellamy

    Seal or Walrus?

    hello all, it's been a while since I've been on. I hope you are all doing well in these trying times. I recently purchased a series of large mammal phalanges from Lee Creek. They're clearly Yorktown (Pliocene). While they seem to resemble seal phalanges, they're awfully large (14-15 cm). I'm wondering if they are walrus instead? Does anyone know if the last Smithsonian Lee Creek volume (Vol 4) is available online as a pdf? Alternately, are there easy "tolls" that I can use to distinguish, or does anyone feel comfortable making a distinction? Thanks!
  13. Hi all - I did not have time in January when I normally write these up, but thanks to Covid quarantine I managed to get some time last month and write up a comprehensive review on my blog of every single 2019 paper in marine mammal paleontology. Enjoy! https://coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2020/05/2019-in-review-advances-in-marine.html
