Asher Hunter Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I am an amateur at identifying fossils. There's only so few I know. Do you know what these are? I found them in New Jersey. (Point of reference: #8 is 3/4 of an inch long.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelivingdead531 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Numbers 1 and 8 don’t look like teeth to me. 7 looks like a very worn sand tiger shark tooth. 4 is possibly a lemon shark. Not entirely sure about the others. Take my IDs with a grain of salt until more knowledgeable people can answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 6) Cretalamna appendiculata 2) Squalicorax (kaupi? I’m not good with those) 7) sand tiger or goblin 2 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asher Hunter Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 #8 has different color of bone on inside. No idea what it is, though. If it is a tooth, it is very worn, but it's the largest, so it interests me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, 8 is a rock. 1 might be an infilled ghost shrimp burrow. 2 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocentx Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think these are all teeth except for #1 and #8(which I can't see that well). "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 1. Enchodus (not sure of the species). 2. Squalicorax. 3. Partial goblin or sand tiger tooth. 4. Goblin (?) hard to tell. 5. Looks like the tip of a goblin shark tooth. 6. Cretolamna appendiculata. 7. Worn Goblin. 8. Looks like a concretion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asher Hunter Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Here's some better images of #1 and #8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 8 is definitely a concretion, 1 might be a concretion also. Concretions do like to look like other things.

Asher Hunter Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Also, what do you think this is? Looks almost like a tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 1. Enchodus petrosus lateral tooth. 2. Squalicorax lindstromi 3. Likely a sand tiger. 4. Sand tiger lower lateral (either E. holmdelensis or C. samhammeri) 5. S. texanus anterior blade 6. Cretalamna appendiculata posterior 7. S. texanus anterior blade 8. Concretion (does not look like ghost shrimp burrow infill) Last one is a concretion. “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
