Hello Folks! I have an Iowa river find. I am fairly certain this is a wolf vertebrae fossil. This was found in an area rich in Pleistocene Era fossils. What I do not know is how to distinguish between a Gray Wolf and Dire Wolf vertebrae. The Dire Wolf vertebrae should be a bit larger than a Gray Wolf vertebrae but I cannot find a source for actual dimensions. Thank for looking.

I recently found this partial tooth in Florida and I really think it’s dire wolf. It looks exactly like the upper carnassial dire wolf teeth online. The only measurement i have is that the thickest part of the enamel from top to bottom is 17mm thick, not accounting for wear. Can you guys confirm/deny? Thanks! filtered-3F76D20A-199B-4B93-8957-ACB17287FC39.mp4

Hi Guys, On our hunt today for shark teeth my daughter found this jaw bone. It feels fossilized. Found in eastern NC in a stream that cuts through a lot of different ages including Pleistocene deposits. What do you guys think? Thanks, John

So I came across this canine on the internet. And in the comments it was being debated by the seller as a Dire Wolf canine, but multiple reactions said it's a bear canine. So I thought it might be interesting to post it here and know what it actually is. Florida find, 2'28 inch

I usually do not hunt Sundays and never on a Sunday Holiday. However, I usually hunt with Steve and Dave on the Peace River, Dave was returning North soon, so Steve called last night and twisted my arm to go hunting today to a location where we had found lots of larger Tiger and Hemipristis shark teeth 3 or 4 years ago. You can never go home again, but sometimes lightening strikes. None of us found large Tigers and Hemis, The location had been heavily dug since we were there last. For 3 hours the three of us were finding only 6-7 small shark teeth per sieve, which is not particularly productive. But the sun was shining, temps were 90 degrees, but we were staying cool in the caress of the Peace River. We just were not finding much despite moving frequently upstream to different locations. Then I found a gravel pocket that seemed to be missed , maybe refreshed, but it had 15 small shark teeth, and then in the next sieve, a Horse tooth.. that figures because they always expect me to be the lucky one. The next sieve I found a very nice sloth tooth. The pocket ran out , we kept on digging with few results, and I went about 150 feet upstream.. probing for gravel, trying to find another pocket of virgin gravel. Time ran out on the day and I returned downstream to Dave and Steve. While I was upstream, Steve found a Dire Wolf molar, and Dave found a Bison molar. I did not say anything about luck, but I was really pleased that we all found one great fossil, when for a long while it seemed all we would find would be small sharks teeth. So here are the 3 finds. Close up on the sloth: This is a 2nd molar of Paramylodon harlani. Close up of the Dire wolf tooth: I was fortunate to find this great photo, courtesy of the NY Times on my searches. Looks like La Brea fossil. A comparison: The whole tooth In fossil hunting, as in most things in life, it pays to be lucky. Enjoy. Jack

Any ideas on the id of these Indonesian Teeth ? Mammal incisors? Wolf? Bear?
Adie_uk posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi I got these teeth with some other fossil and i just dont know what they are from. They are Pleistocene I believe going of the other fossils from this area. (Indonesia, Java) Teeth numbered 1 and 2 are crocodilian, i know that much, they are clear to see and still have the serrations down either side... I am not sure if tooth 3 is also crocodilian? but maybe the surface/ details of the tooth has been polished (a real bad habbit they have over there) but teeth 4,5 & 6 are different. Their colours are very different, but again, I'm not sure. I think they have been polished also. I did have a tooth a while back that was ID'd as bear (species unverified) not sure if these are bear, wolf, or something else? It's quite hard researching fossils from there, so would be great to hear your views., Many thanks in advance. sorry took these without scale, they measure largest 130mm and the smallest 70mm_LI.thumb.jpg.ea4805b976864f299ee763dfce14654a.jpg)

I have this jawbone that is found i Denmark. The teeth shows that it is a very young animal, because there are very little wear. There is the possibility that it could be one of several missing young wolves but I do not have the experience to see the difference between wolf and dog. I hope some of you might have the ability to identify the jawbone Thank you very much. The measurements are in centimeters.

Hi everyone! I recently got some Florida Pleistocene fossils and I'm having some trouble identifying them. I think the first is a wolf molar and the third is either a turtle or alligator claw but beyond that I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have here two teeth from North Florida. Larger one is 1.18" long and 0.25" wide; smaller one is 1" long and 0.28" wide. My guess was coyote or wolf, would these be accurate? Thank you, Bellamy

Hi, I have here a tooth, Neolithic (6,500 - 12,000 years old). It is described as indeterminate canine from Voulgézac, France. It is 4 cm in length. Is there any way to say which species it could be from? Thank you, Bellamy

Ancient mummified wolf cub in Canada 'lived 56,000 years ago'
Thomas.Dodson posted a topic in Fossil News
A complete mummified wold cub aged 56,000-57,000 years was discovered in Northern Canada. "Scientists now say the cub, of which the hide, hair and teeth are intact, is "the most complete wolf mummy known". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55409689 https://www.newscientist.com/article/57000-57000-year-old-mummified-wolf-pup-discovered-in-canadian-permafrost/- 2 replies

Hi, Even in this hard times of corona virus outbreak I couldn't resist the urge to visit again a cave that I found a few weeks ago, but couldn't explore it fully. So I went again and this last time I went in the cave I found a great number of bones scattered around the cave. I think they are probably modern, but it is weird because the cave isn't very easily accessible for animals since it has a few big drops. I found this tooth in a small ,,room,, which was barely big enough to squeeze in to. In that same place there were a small broken skull and many bones, but this is just one of the many places with such bones. At first I even thought that some explorers ate a chicken or something like that in there, but the bones are just too many and THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A CHICKEN SLAUGHTER FEST. I would be glad to hear your opinions on what creature is this toot from and if it is modern or ancient. The color I guess would suggest modern but i am no expert on how are bones preserved in caves and sadly I have no information on the age of the cave. I hope you are all fine and the virus never gets to you!

Hello to all! This would be my first post and what motivated me to join the forum is because we have found something I just can't nail down. On a recent fossiling trip with my family my daughter found a skull in a stream bank located in central NJ where shark teeth are the common find. In fact this skull fragment was partially exposed in the stream bank just above a layer of gravel that was producing sharks teeth. I was solidly set in and only exposed because of recent storm water erosion.The stream bank was a sharp cut out from the landside and this fossil was approximately six feet below the surface layer. I've compared the skull to modern day coyote and wolf skulls. The brain cavity is larger than a coyotes and while about the same as a wolfs the top fin is about 2-3 times the size of a wolfs. I went on a comparison google photo search and the closest match I can find is from a dire wolf! Do I dare say this is what it is? Ok, maybe not, but I am thinking this is an ancestor of todays wolf. Here are the shots. what do you think? Here it is next to a coyote skull I'm 54 and have been fossiling since I was about nine and this is one of the cooler things I've seen found. Thanks for checking this out, Mike.

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!!

I have two teeth shown below. The long skinny ones I have been told are whale teeth and the other I was told is a porpoise tooth. I found images in a book showing it may be a wolf sized dog, a seal or or possible a whale shark. Anyone have any opinions? I have a few of both in a display shot in the last image. Thanks in advanced for the input!
