Ran33dad Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Can anyone help me identify all these fossilized teeth and other fossils I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco! No fossils, just concretions and rocks, I'm afraid! Keep looking. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingAlongToo Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Teeth have enamel. These are defined geologic in origins. 1 Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books.........

Fossildude19 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I agree. Your first item looks like a concretion. The others are rocks, and not fossils.

Herb Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 sorry, on teeth I am afraid.

Ran33dad Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Can u help me identify these? I have several of the concretions. Do the hold any value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 As per Forum rules, we do not provide appraisals here. You have not provided any detailed information as to the location of these finds (more detailed than just "Kentucky"), nor indicated scale (such as in using a ruler or tape measure). Do not take pictures of the items in your hand as that can cause motion blur, and the camera may focus on the hands rather than the specimen. Please place them on a flat, even-coloured surface in proper lighting to assist in our members providing an identification. At present, I can only make out the last two images as possibly a modern shell, and a brachiopod. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 To my old eyes, the last three images are fossil shells; two gastropods and a brachiopod. Concretions, in and of themselves, have no value. Occasionally, when conditions were just right, they might have accreted around an organic nucleus, and a lucky break can reveal it. 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
