I have yet another group of unidentified fossils from an estate sale. They all appear to be the same type/species but of what? Can anyone help?

Hello! I recently purchased an online lot from an estate sale and got near 100 pieces of collected material. I got some nice pieces, although nothing is in great quality but im hoping I have some rare tooth or something. While I already sorted the hoard, 50% was unidentifiable so I just took the interesting looking ones that I knew nothing about. Any help is appreciated! If anyone would like to know the dimensions, I will be more then happy to do so. Weird piece, the bottom solid bit feels almost like plastic. I also have some peices with some mineral residue on it. I am unsure where this all came from but it seemed like a very interested place to collect. These were labeled as whale inner ear bones, however, they do not look like the stuff I see on google. Some sort of tooth Could be a small horse tooth? This was just labeled porpoise tooth. The first side looks like a belemnite phragmacone but the other side reminds me of a hadrosaur? Super long root with a tooth attached. It is not very good quality, but I can at least make out that it is definitely a separate piece at the tip This was labeled as mastodon cusp A weird button lookin thang. THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Is this skull an authentic fossil?
bugpuncher posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone. I am coming to you with a request for help with an item I want to sell on eBay. We picked it up at an estate sale and know nothing at all about its origin. I'm not into fossils, beyond picking up crinoid segments here on our property. So forgive my ignorance. I believe this is a modern skull which someone embedded into some sort of cement-like substance in order to create a "fossil." I'm hoping that's not the case, naturally, but even if so we plan to sell it as a novelty, clearly identified as a fake. It's 4.5" long from the front to the back. I appreciate any and all help with this. Thanks!- 15 replies
