In NJ for the next couple of days on business and able to make a side trip to Big Brook today. Among the usual shark teeth, I found this mammalian tooth. It most closely matches some photos of Pleistocene age beaver teeth that have been found. Is that what it is most likely or could it be another mammal? Apologies for the photo quality, I'm still on the road and did my best.

I am new to Fossil Forum, and want to test a few initial ID posts to see if I am including the right info and capturing sufficiently-clear photos. Here are two fossils, both of which I think may be (toothed whale?) vertebra. They come from an estate collection I acquired last year, all contents of which were unidentified but labeled as coming from Edisto Beach, SC on dates ranging from the late 1970s through the early 1990s.

Please be patient as I learn how to do this. Here is the fossil that should have gone with that info: I believe this is a mammal tooth (maybe Raccoon?) but it appears broken so that may impact identification. [It comes from an estate collection I acquired last year, all unidentified but labeled as coming from Edisto Beach, SC on dates ranging from the late 1970s through the early 1990s.]

Hello everyone Couple of unusual finds for me from diving in the Cooper River, near Charleston, SC. This river cuts through Oligocene to modern deposits so it can be tough to ID finds. The first looks like a Castoroides sp? broken beaver tooth? The shark tooth has a U shaped root, no serrations on the blade, and has cusps that appear to have a gap between the root and blade. Looks like a cusped P. Benedeni or possibly an upper lateral sand tiger (based on looking through elasmo.com). Doesn't look like an O. Angustidens or A. Grandis to me? I've seen a few cusped Benedeni's identified on the forum and was curious if that is what I found Thanks for looking

Thanks for having me. This was found 2-12-23 at Beach Pocket Park 1, Galveston, TX. It is a sandy beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks in advance of any insight as to what this belonged to.

A few interesting ones from recent trips (tried to flip and scan each side). Finally found a cowshark symphysial, but like most from the creek, it was broken (fewer but better shape from the beaches? Hopefully not broken from screening.) The pathological tooth I posted last trip (a sand tiger quite bent), along with dolphin tooth and skate scute. No big makos, but a few inch or so. A lot of fossil coral chunks at the spot. Not sure the mammal tooth is ID-able; tips of points missing. I like the jaw bone, not common here. A few angel shark teeth, fairly common here.

I found this fossil in central NJ, Big Brook river. I am quite certain it is a mammal tooth, but I have absolutely no idea which mammal, how old it is or if its modern. Just need a little expert help or experience. The fossil is about the size of my finger nail. Thanks Ian

Hi! Can't believe it's been five years since my last post on this forum! My husband found this interesting object while digging in Troy, NY (it snapped in half when he was cleaning it). Could it be a fossilized mammal's tooth? Thanks!

Found in the Peace River, the ripples in the enamel along with the width and length are off to me it's too short and wide to be horses from what I've seen.

My dad sent me some pictures of Peace River fossils that he would like to have identified. I am unsure about either - the mammal tooth might be partial camel, but that's just a guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hi all, I purchased a handful of Pliocene shark teeth from Indonesia recently, and the seller included the attached tooth. I'm assuming that it is mammal incisor?. The fauna includes both marine and terrestrial mammal teeth. The enamel preservation is consistent with stegodont and hippo teeth that I have purchased from him. The scale is in cm. Any ideas?

Hey there! I was visiting the Peace River this year for my bday with my husband, and we came across some awesome fossil hunters. We’d never hunted the Peace, and were totally unprepared. Fortunately, the group we stumbled upon were super nice. They had sifters to spare and beers to share. They not only made my birthday, but also gave me this tooth. I can tell it’s a canine, but not sure what it’s from. Any thoughts? Tooth is just shy of 3/4”. Thanks very much!! Lauren

Here’s a tooth from the Brazos River in Texas. I can’t tell how complete it is. It seems different than bos/bison and deer. I have no experience with pronghorn material , but I’m wondering if it’s a possibility

Hey ya'll Some finds from a last Sunday. The tooth was found buried in gravel, and was the one result from 2 hours combing a single gravel bar. The day before, that same spot, was extremely productive, funnily enough. That's just how it goes The mammal tooth is small, and may very well be modern, but teeth from various Pleistocene fauna have been found around here that were still white. Just thought it was worth checking. Also, the I'm thinking the rudist piece might be Durania austinensis, based on an ID I got on a similar, larger rudist piece before. Thought this little tidbit was a keeper because of its great colors. Found on the Ozan formation of Austin.

Hi y'all. While visiting a local rock shop, I saw these mammal teeth in a tray labeled "shark teeth," along with actual shark teeth. I wasn't sure of what they were and decided to take them home. Their proximity to another tray of fossil cetacean teeth and their rough similarity (crown-to-root ratio) made me think they could be odontocete. Thanks for any help! @Boesse@Harry Pristis

5 Peace River Fossils. Dolphin tooth? Turtle Nuchal plate? Bird bones?
FemurIHKH posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all, Was hoping for some help identifying some recent finds from the Charlie Creek in the Peace River of Florida. I'm still a novice with ID'ing so I was hoping for some guidance as to where I I went right and wrong. I believe they are, in order: a worn cetacean tooth, turtle nuchal scute, a fragment of stingray barb. The last set I am unsure of. Perhaps some bird clavicles? Thanks for any help you can give, Al- 7 replies

Hey ya'll Recently I made a trip to a creek in Austin that I'd been to once before when it produced two Bison molars as well as a piece of Columbian Mammoth enamel (thanks for those ID's btw!) After the snow melted I hit two spots really hard in hopes of shark teeth - no success, but in the same general area I found the mammal teeth last time, I found what I believe to be another bison tooth. Since it isn't fossilized though (I think), it may also just be a recent deer tooth. It's a different tooth compared to the others I've found, so I'd just like to check on an Id. Below are photos. This tooth also has many more dark colors to it than the other two teeth I found, which were almost uniformly cream. Does this mean that this tooth is older, or that it was simply exposed to the sun and silt a little longer? Thanks for any input.

Is this molar found in Peace River gravel matrix from a raccoon? After looking at a lot of pictures, it looks like a lower tooth, an m-2. Is this correct? @Harry Pristis Thanks for looking.

Hello everyone! New member, just joined today. Great to be here! I live in Huntingtown, Maryland in Calvert County. Lots of Meg teeth and Miocene era fossils. Was trying to get some help identifying these mammal teeth. I found them on the Patuxent River right up from where I live on an embankment that backs up to a cliff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have been told Camel but not sure.
