Found this neat pathological sawfish or sawfish-like oral tooth today while searching through some Post Oak Creek matrix that I collected a couple years ago. I believe this should be of the cretaceous Eagle Ford Group of Texas. It appears to be two teeth that are fused together. My best guess on the ID is texatrygon, but I'm still not super confident with my "sawfish" teeth ID so I would welcome any additional opinions on ID. I've seen many interesting patho shark teeth posted here on the forum but I don't remember seeing any patho sawfish teeth so I thought this would be interesting to share. For scale, the grid is 5x5mm.

Just want to share some recent finds from hunting a site given to me by a new friend from this forum. The whole reason for the post is to share the coolest patho tiger shark tooth I’ve ever found…but adding some others finds just for fun. In total, I found 500 shark teeth and 35 meg frags in one day. I don’t usually count them but there were so many that it seemed almost necessary this trip I didn’t find any whole kegs but the posterior one posted above is pretty close to being whole. Here are some of my favorite teeth from the day: I have found a lot of ivory pieces in the past but this chunk of tusk tip is a favorite find as well: (photos do not do it justice) Also found a few beat-up whale tooth chunks, best one pictured below: Biggest sting ray denticle I’ve found and some other smaller ones: Homlesina and glyptodon scutes: Partial tapir jaw with tooth roots: Ray denticles, fish scales, mouth plates: Ear bones (I think), dugong tooth, and my friend’s first ever Meg frags (she was SO excited)

Not sure if the identification section is the right place to post this because I know it is a Pleistocene Horse tooth from the Brazos river in southeast Texas. However I’m wondering if this is a pathological tooth or a cavity. I’ve found well over 100 horse teeth and none of them have this feature. I appreciate any insights

I will start this out with three really cool patho teeth from the Lee Creek Mine in Aurora, North Carolina. These are all from the Miocene Pungo River Formation. First a small tooth, about 5mm wide 4mm long. I believe possibly Odontaspis Next a tiger shark, Galeocerdo sp., but I am leaning towards aduncus. and last an extremely pathological tooth that I believe is Carcharocles chubutensis, but I label it as carcharocles sp. Lets see what you have.

Recently just got back from a trip on Tybee Island! During this trip I went out looking for shark teeth several times a day, and even did a tour with Sundial Charters! Overall in 6 days I found over 150 shark teeth and countless other fossils! I'll be posting them on here! Here's the coolest tooth I found actually on Tybee, I believe it's a Great Hammerhead.

From the album: Delaware Fossils
Two Exogyra cancellata shells from the Cretaceous spoils of Reedy Point, Delaware. Although Exogyras typically detached themselves from their anchorage while still very small - about 2-3 cm - these two animals continued to live and grow together. The lower valve is about 10 cm on the long axis.- 1 comment

Belemnitella americana from the Maastrtichian of Delaware. This one is strangely rounded and scarred. Looks like something bit it and it lived long enough to heal over.© copyright 2021 Heather J M Siple

I went out to Douglas Point (Paleocene, Aquia Formation) in Maryland yesterday and found a couple of unusual shark teeth. The tooth on the left is about 1.5 cm long and I'm pretty sure is a pathological Striatolamia striata. The tooth on the right looks a bit like an Otodus obliquus or Cretalamna appendiculata to me. Since it's only 1 cm long, Cretalamna might be the better guess. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the IDs. Thanks! Here are some more views of the sand tiger on the left. The root is both relatively large and very flat. It appears to be chipped in a couple of spots as marked in the top middle photo below. There is a small cusplet on one side but not on the other. This is perhaps the most peculiar-looking tooth I've found. And here are more views of the "Otodus/Cretalamna". The blade is a bit wavy and might perhaps be pathological too.

Repair on carcharodontosaurus tooth?
Per Christian posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone This tooth is one is like to buy if it's no repair, but it's a strange one. It looks as if it's supposed to have repair because the contours are off. But the enamel is really pretty. What say people here? Repairs?- 5 replies

Hey, I purchased a large grouping of shark teeth a couple days ago, and it got here today. I was sorting them, and found a couple interesting ones, this was one of them. It’s very pathological, but I can’t ID it, I think it’s either a false tiger or cow shark, but I can’t tell. @Al Dente @digit @MarcoSr. TIA

Hello TFF, I got a couple items from the Late Cretaceous of NJ that seem to be pathological. The first one, an Anomoeodus phaseolus tooth, seems to be very wrinkly and so I deemed it a patho. That is more of a verification as I haven’t seen a pathological one before. The second is an Ischyrhiza mira rostral blade that has a third carina on one of its faces and a slight flattening (flattening better seen in person). This is also a verification as I just didn’t expect to see a patho rostral. The third one is a bit strange. It is definitely a fish tooth. There are prominent growth cracks on the surface & no striations, which supports Xiphactinus. However, the base doesn’t look exactly elliptical (Xiphactinus) or bulging like in Enchodus. But it does look more like X-fish than Enchodus; it just seems as if one side of the base got flattened out, leading me to think that it could be a pathological Xiphactinus. The base also seems to be somewhat hollow (other than the matrix infill). @non-remanié Thanks guys! Anomoeodus phaseolus:

Tried to get out before the ice storm in search of cowshark teeth (found none and hunted hard). Lots of small sand tiger teeth, including a crooked one and a symphyseal, and lots of split teeth. Lots of drum teeth, (the dull side is more interesting than the glossy side). Four angel teeth that stand up on their triangular base, two whose root is damaged. Two or three mako (broken). Lots of small triangular teeth (dusky, bull, gray? not sure what all they are). Lots of batoid/ skate teeth, but no stingers or denticles. One whole vert and a small disc echinoid. Lots ofsmall 'whale bone' and bits to go through. Not what I was after, but quantity if not quality was good.
