An afternoon excursion to the Frankstown Fossil site North of Tupelo, MS in Fall of 2023 resulted in one single shark tooth and a portion of an oyster shell. I am embarrassed to reveal that after about 30 shovels of sand sifted, the only tooth I found was in the prior sifting detritus of another fossil hound. Expedition injury report: I scraped my arm as I fell on the slippery clay attempting to descend into the creekbed. Win some and lose some. Time with an old friend was the best reward for this fossil expedition. darrell Barnes

I was digging in Prentiss county Mississippi at the Frankstown location, and pulled this out of the creek bed. Does anyone know what it is? IMG_4148.MOV

Please help identify this tooth. This tooth was collected at the WM Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Baldwyn, MS. I have found similar looking Cretoxyrhina Mantelli teeth online, mainly anterior, and it does have a curve that is different than other Scapanorhynchus Texanus teeth in my collection. However, the sheer number of goblin teeth at this location make me question it being anything else. Tooth is approximately 1” top to bottom and 1.5” when angled. Thanks for your expertise.

Hello from Mississippi! I've never posted on here before but I need some experienced eyes to help out with this ID. I found this tooth fragment at the w.m. browning cretaceous fossil park near frankstown last time I went sifting down there. It's been bugging me that I dont know what it is. Def not like the shark teeth you find there so that leaves croc? or mosasaur? Or something else? Its hollow and looks like it would have had a slightly curved cone shape if whole. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

We got a lot of 20 shark teeth from the Demopolis Formation, Frankstown location I believe. I basically separated them by those I think are Goblin teeth and those that I think are not lol Pic 1 I believe these are Scapanorhynchus teeth. Pic 2 and 3. My best guess on this one is Paranomotodon. I am very unsure of that ID.

The shark teeth shown in the pics were recently found at the WM Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Frankstown, MS. They appear to be different than some of the more common teeth found there (i.e. goblin shark). In the publication that was produced for the park, the closet match appears to be Otodus appendiculatus, but I am not finding exact matches online. Of the four teeth, 1 (more triangle) and 4 (recurved, more pointed cuspids) stand out. Any thoughts?

Hello all, A friend of mine sent me these photos of a piece she found at the WM Browning fossil park in NE Mississippi. Without seeing the item, my best guess was a worn mosasaur vertebra. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! -Caleb

These fossils were found recently in NE Mississippi at the WM Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park. Please help to identify. The far left appears to be a mosasaur. The rest are different from other items I have found down there. The far right fossil literally looks like something that has been broken and fused back together. On the two darker, pointed items, the right is more flat. Thanks

Please help identity. Is this a mosasaur or something else? This tooth was found of the WM Browning Cretaceous Fossil park. This is shaped somewhat different than other mosasaur that I have found at the park (more slender and recurved). For example, this looks much different than the pterygoid tooth in my collection. Thanks for your insight.

Please help identify the object in the pics below. These were obtained from the WM Browning Cretaceous Fossil park in Frankstown, MS. This was a unique find compared to the typical fossils found there. This does not appear to be a 'rock', but not a shark tooth either. Thanks

Please help identify this tooth. This was found at the W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Frankstown, MS yesterday. It look like a back molar perhaps.

Found small tooth at Frankstown, 20 mile creek, Mississippi. Known as a Cretaceous outcrop. Tooth was mixed among shark teeth. Any ideas is appreciated.

I have no idea what this is. Found in NE Mississippi (cretaceous). Potential invert, or plant?

Please help identify. The teeth shown in the pictures were recently found at the W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park in Frankstown, MS. Oddly enough, they were found within about 15 minutes of each other in the same area. Each tooth is about 1/2 inches from tip to base and they all have the middle indentation in the base. In the photo of four, the left most tooth has the lines running through it, while the middle two appear to be more smooth and without any features. The tooth shown on the right appear to be more of a rock until I noticed it had the same indention in the base. Any insight would be most appreciated. Thanks

Please help identify the four objects in the attached pictures. I thin the shark teeth is the Otodus appendiculatus or Cretalamna Appendiculata. I am unsure on the 'shell' and the two remaining objects. Perhaps, they are the fangs of the Enchodus Sp? All were found at the Frankstown Fossil Site (W.M. Browning Cretaceous Fossil Park) in Frankstown, MS. Thanks for your help.

Need help identifying this small molar collected at the Frankstown site last weekend. The second image shows about 2/3 of what we found in a few hours on Saturday.
