Here are a couple of my Blue tinted fossil;

 

2 small Oligocene rhino jaws from South Dakota with blue teeth-

A small piece of Arizona Petrified wood that I that my parents bought for me when I was a young. I have had it for about 45 years and has always been a favorite.

Who would ever guess blueberries were their favorite food?!  

They didnt have whitening toothpaste in the Pleistocene.

I find the above post informative. Always thought toothpaste originated in the Pliocene but apparently it wasn't even in the Pleistocene! :o

Here are two great whites from the Early Pliocene San Mateo Formation of Oceanside, San Diego County, California.  They were collected sometime prior to the 90's and maybe in the 70's.  The upper is just under 2 1/2 inches and the lower is just under 2 inches.  They have a different blue than you see from Peru.  It's a darker, grayer blue.

Here's a Carcharodon hastalis from the Middle Miocene Sharktooth Hill Bonebed, Bakersfield, Kern County, California (labial and lingual views).  You don't see a lot of blue teeth in the bonebed but sometimes you find one.  This one is just under 2 1/2 inches.

Mako from SC. Nice light blue mixed with white. One of my favorite teeth in my collection because of the marble color

Nice (old) topic! This is a tooth (bovine) I found on a beach near The Hague, The Netherlands. It sure is blue!

I posted this great white tooth from the Pliocene Pisco Formation of Sacaco, Peru  in the "Show us your pink fossils" thread but it's blue and pink so I'll put it here too.  It came out in the photo a little grayer than it is but I think you can still see the blue in it (size: 1 3/16 inches/29mm).

These teeth have the same preservation as many I've seen from the "Hog Heaven" site at the Haile Quarry, Newberry, Florida (just west of Gainesville).  There was a collector/dealer down in southern California who had a beer flat full of these peccary teeth (part of a big trade/deal with a Florida dealer).  One way he tried to sell them was he glued a tooth to a small clear acrylic stand like a mini museum display.  A friend, the late Charles Steen, liked the look of them at his shop and bought several to resell at shows.  He called it "pig on a stick."

Here are a couple of Isurus desori (or early I. oxyrinchus) teeth from the early-middle Miocene Olcese Sand in Bakersfield, Kern County, California.  The sites aren't far from Sharktooth Hill sites but they are a little older and therefore deeper - fewer spots were you can get to it.  The sites are also less productive but you get a different mix of genera.  Many of the teeth are sort of a sky-blue color or slightly darker but you can get some that are more of a cola color as well.

Those are some gorgeous teeth, Jess!

 

Here is an unidentifed, Lower Devonian brachiopod from the Glenerie Limestone.

It has some sort of botryoidal vivianite or apatite on the back end of it.

Some of my blue coral fossils.  All found in Southwestern Ontario.  One day I'll take a picture of them out in the sun, the blue really comes through then.

This one is very nice, I bet it looks pretty good in the display case.  :dinothumb:
