I will give you a little back ground on where I found this fossil. There is a creek that runs through some of my families land in the middle of Walton County Florida. It is not located in a place that most people look for fossils. There are only about three locations on the creek that the beds are visible and most of them are at least five feet underwater and not easily accessible. I found this on the bottom of the creek at one of these locations when I was a kid. For the longest time I thought it was some old native American artifact. I recently found out it is some type of marine jaw bone. I looked up some of the geological formations where I live, and from what I can tell the beds are part of the Alum Bluff Group which is from the Miocene period.

This is a beach find from Ponte Vedra, I’m pretty sure it’s a jawbone but all teeth are missing. Both marine and terrestrial fossils are found here. What kind of animal does it belong to?

Found this in Bandera, TX. 3.5” X 1.5” X 1.5”. Looks like it could be part of a jaw bone, but I really have no idea what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, I think this one might be a cow but either way it's quite old based on where we found it. Just curious if anyone could give more insight, as we found some other small pieces of assorted bones / ball joints in this creek bed while metal detecting / fossil hunting. If you need more pictures, let me know. As always, I appreciate the knowledge here. PS: There are two separate jaws (obvious by # of teeth). The lighter colored one appears to be a little younger / less weathered. The darker one is basically wood composite at this point.

I had another great day at Brownies. A bit windy and much cooler than you would expect for late April, but this Spring has been chillier than usual here in Maryland. There was no crowd today, which was very odd, but I am not complaining! Not many big teeth out, but I did manage to find my personal best today, a Mako that measures 5.4 cm. I was so excited about that, that I almost called it a day, but I had only been on the beach for two hours, so I decided to keep going. Then after not much more luck I found what I believe to be a piece of a dolphin jaw. I had a hard time trying to photograph that tonight, so I will try again tomorrow. I also found a nice piece of whale rib, around 7 cm long. I left it in the car, so I will have to photograph it with the jaw. Today was a great day for finding bones. I found a heap of small bones, which I will photograph later. Then toward the end of the day I found the two teeth with cusps. I need to read more about cusped teeth, I am weak in that area. One disappointment of the day was watching a father & his son digging in the cliff. They had climbed up a hill of loose material about 15 feet up and we're digging right into the cliff. They were oblivious to not only the rules of the beach, but also their own safety. It made me sick to watch them. I will update this report tomorrow.

This was found near Custer Park in South Dakota. I know it is part of a jaw bone with a tooth in it but I cannot figure out what kind of mammal it might belong to. Can you help?

This was found on the beach (Okaloosa Island-Fort Walton Beach Florida) after hurricane Nate. What is it?

I found this in a creek bottom in central Ohio after a flood that caused extensive erosion. I'm thinking it might be a fox or coyote, but really don't know. I was hoping someone with more expertise in this area could assist me in identifying it. Thanks, Mark

We found this at Willwood formation Wy. Looks like a jaw bone but not sure what from. There is a layer of rock around the bone. Hopefully someone recognizes it. Thanks. Part of a jaw bone

Pull this guy out of a creek this morning in Frisco, Texas. I think bison - anyone know? Also, does anyone know how to date? Apparently this guy didn't get the memo on how to brush his teeth. Ha!

This partial fossil jawbone and tooth was found in a dredge operation near Houston Tx. I'm really not sure of the animal it came from so any help is really appreciated. Thank all of you so much.

Can any one help here. The texture of this item really doesn't look like a fossil, but the shape is intriguing. Does anyone know if I have aything here? Thanks!

Greetings, I need help identifying this jaw bone. It looks to me like any wolf jaw bone I have seen. However, wolves only recently returned to the region it was found and it appears old.. at least to me. I would like to identify it and to learn how to posatively identify differences between wolf jaw bones and dogs. I'm also interested in any good reference on the subject I might aquire. Thank you for any help!!

These two items were found together in the same area of a small creek (south Alabama) and were associated with Cretaceous shark teeth. The jaw bone is approximately 1-3/4" long and the teeth are 1/4" wide. The claw core is right at 3" long and 2" wide. Any thoughts comments would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All, here are a couple of bones found today. The teeth suggest jaw bones but both are poorly preserved and clearly not from the same beast... Any help much appreciated as always thank you....

Found in Summerville SC creek. Is it modern or fossil and who does it belong to? It's 5 1/4 inches long and probably oligocene if it's a fossil. Thanks for looking. Taffie
