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.

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.

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. -

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?

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

From the album: Texas Cretaceous Shark teeth and Other Marine Fauna
Squalicorax hartwelli (Cope 1872). Slant length indicated by longest side. This tooth exhibits what is most likely a genetic pathology. -
Would this tooth be considered pathological because of this cusp twisting in or is this common.......thanks

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.

The first is from the Menard formation the last two are from the Golconda fromation. https://imgur.com/a/8g5R86m I've been away for some time (life keeping me busy). I have a brand new prep room soon I will have other photos of my room and various fossils and rocks. Members that have been around awhile might remember me and to all you new folk I want to say hello (maybe I should have started with all that). Anyway I hope to be able to get back to posting again since things are starting to settle in.

Hey, all! I've reached 1000 posts of the Fossil Forum, and thought I should share one of my small but very cool finds. This is a Vinlandostrophia brachiopod (species unknown), from southern Indiana. It's Upper Ordovician in age, from the Cincinnati Group. I'm not sure which formation it's from, as there are three exposed at the site, and I found it as surface float near the bottom of the slope. It could be either Waynesville, Liberty, or Arnheim. While I have a handful of Vinlandostrophia in my collection, this one is pariticularly cool. Something took a large (relative to the size of the brach) bite out of it, but it survived and healed. This was not a small or simple notch; this was a large part of the shell margin removed. And yet, the critter survived, probably for several more years. There are several growth lines on the healed scar, at any rate. Enjoy!

I was looking through my shark teeth and I found what I believe is a pathological tooth! The pathology is on the left side just below the root. This is exciting for me because I've heard these are kind of rare. Could somebody help me ID this tooth so I can appreciate it more? It's about .5 inches in length and Miocene in age.

This is my 8.9 cm. (3.5 in.) Spinosaurus tooth, which actually is in surprisingly great shape! (apart from cracks caused by clumsy past owners) However, it is curved (~0.5cm in one direction, and ~0.4 cm off to the side of the previous curve). This leaves me to wonder- how did this happen? My theory is that this Spinosaur either had something HUGE stuck between its teeth that caused them to deform as it grew older; or that a sideways tooth interfered with the normal growth of this tooth, and caused it to grow sideways (to make room for the wayside tooth). The latter is actually very common in humans! (This is why many of us as teenagers had braces, as to prevent our teeth from growing in every direction). I also prefer the last argument (I know, I argue with my self, haha...) because there is a long 3 cm indentation along the side of the tooth, which is exactly where the tooth would have interfered with the room of another tooth. The indentation is likely the blade end of another tooth which was in place when the dinosaur was still alive. The mark is visible on the right side of the tooth in the last image. I just that this was a very unique specimen that I wanted to share with the world, especially because mine is in such good shape for a tooth with almost 6 cm of intact tip enamel, and another three centimeters of root. Does anyone else have some pathological (deformed) fossil teeth they would like to share? Sounds cool! -Fossil sniper

I figured you guys would enjoy a few pictures of this Funky Pathological Meg I dug up in the Peace River a few weeks ago. It was a nice start to the season for sure!

Hello, Found this interesting tooth in Bakersfield, in the Round Mountain Silt formation on Dec 24, 2017. To me it looks like a pathological upper tooth from a cow shark (hexanchus). There seems to be a very small inclusion on the side of the tooth (second photo), but hard to say if it was there when the shark lost it. The tooth is about the size of an American penny coin. Any validating comments or ideas are appreciated.
