karenilm Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Thank you for looking at my fossils. I think that I found several different fossils that may be partial Mammoth teeth. Editing to add location: Everything was found at the beach in North Carolina -- South Eastern NC - wrightsville beach. I will seperate the photos so that it won't be confusing. THANK YOU!!!!

thelivingdead531 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 #1 might be Equus. I can’t help with the others, sorry. Where did you find all of these? Edit to add: I see your tags say North Carolina and beaches, if you could provide the beach that you found them in, it would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 @Harry Pristis will know. Location is very important for identification as Candace has said. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You! Location information is always very important to identifying fossils. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Bronzviking Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Nice Finds! I'm only familiar with shark's teeth, but you can do a google image search to see pictures of mammoth teeth. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Fossils 1,2 and 4 all appear to be damaged equid (horse) teeth. I can't get a firm grip on what fossil 3 might be. -Joe 1 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laditz Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Agree with what Fruitbat said above, although i'm in doubt about nr. 2 instead of nr. 3. But maybe that's what he meant to say too.. Item number 3 vaguely shows the horse-identifying cue at the bottom of the first picture. Number 2 doesn't have alot of features to identify it. Could be the mammoth you were looking for, could be anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
