Hello everyone, another ID-question. We found this at the southern side of the Danish island of Møn, right next in the area of neolithic settlement. I have a hard time identifying this particular part of a tooth/fossilized set of teeth. As we are staying here for our holidays, I have no other scale with me. Any idea, of what we found here, would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Jens

I found both of these in a creek near the peace river just wondering what they were? Find 1 I think is a camel tooth, or cow but im not entirely sure especially since its some what white near the top. Find two im hoping is a sloth tooth but i don’t have enough experience to be sure. Any help would be appreciated.

So, no Kem Kem dromaeosaurids after all?
BirdsAreDinosaurs posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi all, I just recently had the time to thoroughly read through this recent paper, which describes, amongst other things, how machine learning was used (in combination with other techniques) to identify a possible Deltadromeus tooth. The authors also suggest the presence of a second noasaurid species in the Kem Kem beds, based on a small sub-adult partial vertebra. In the discussion, the authors discuss individual teeth found in the Kem Kem beds that were previously referred to Dromaesauridae by Amiot et al. (2004), Richter et al. (2013), and Ibrahim et al. (2020a). The authors believe all of these teeth do in fact not belong to Dromaeosauridae. They say some are most likely abelisaurid, and others noasaurid (those with strongly distally recurved crowns and those with a non-serrated mesial carina and/or a faint constriction between tooth and crown). All of the dental features used to refer Kem Kem teeth to Dromaeosauridae, are in fact also present in noasaurids and juvenile abelisaurids. To be honest, I never really believed the teeth described in these older papers belonged to Dromaeosauridae. Having said that, there are still some tooth types from the Kem Kem beds that have never been described in scientific literature, which are "dromaeosaurid-like". For example, the ones in Troodon's overview having a twisted mesial carina. However, when you look at lateral teeth of the noasaurid Masiakasaurus, some also have a twisted mesial carina. I think there is still a possibility that some of these small dromaeosaurid-like Kem Kem teeth are in fact dromaeosaurid, but it is quite likely that they all turn out to be noasaurid or abelisaurid. What do you think?- 1 reply

Hi all, Thanks so much for the kind feedback on my Berthasaura reconstruction. Here is another example of my work: A 'juvenile' tyrannosaur skull based loosely on Jane (BMRP 2002.4.1) I'm aware of the debates regarding age and species however I have just approached this as younger individual. Thanks so much for checking out my sculpt. I'm printing a prototype as we speak, I'll post some updates on here once its assembled!

Hello there! My friend and I have encountered a problem, which is that we cannot recognize the ID of this tooth. So I am requesting your help. Thank you！

I'm pretty sure this was found by my friend on the North Sulphur River. It was labelled as such, along with some fish vertebrae I know are also found there. Most of the teeth are missing, broken off on their trip down the river. I'm wondering if anyone can give me more information on this piece. Thanks for the help!

Curious if anyone has any ideas as to what these might have came from. Found this piece in SE Colorado that has tons of shark teeth but these are way different than anything we have found so far.

Below are two Pleistocene mammal teeth from "river gravels" in Florida. I have to further information on their age or locality, unfortunately. The left was merely identified as a "mammal tooth", and I strongly suspect it is from Trichechus manatus, but I have very little experience with mammal dentition and as such thought it would be best to check with someone with greater expertise in the field first. The right tooth was identified as a "peccary tooth", but given the fact that a number of tayassuids were present in Pleistocene Florida I wondered if the tooth could be identified to a genus, or better yet a species level. I will now take the liberty of "@ing in" a few people: @Harry Pristis and @Shellseeker Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's Othniel

Machine learning identifies possible Deltadromeus tooth
BirdsAreDinosaurs posted a topic in Fossil News
By combining several analytical methods, including machine learning, to assess the diversity of a collection of theropod teeth from the Kem Kem beds, researchers found a tooth that could possibly be assigned to Deltadromeus agilis. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2024.2311791 https://www.uu.nl/en/news/higher-carnivorous-dinosaur-biodiversity-of-famous-kem-kem-beds-morocco- 3 replies

Is my Majungasaurus teeth real ?
MateuszN06 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello two days ago I bought a Majungasaurus teeth. For me it is real teeth but I have to ask you about because I'm not sure (of course I want to be sure). Can you please tell is it real teeth ? Thank you for all of your answers on this topic

I found this tooth at El Capitán Beach on the coast by Santa Barbara in the mid 90’s. Any idea who lost their tooth? I’ve wondered what animal this tooth belonged to. Can anyone help me identify it?

Found these two in south carolina near the Summerville and Charleston area, im fairly certain one is a tusk but if anyone could give more details on which type on elephant it could’ve been since im not familiar with the area. The second one is a horse tooth (I think) but I am a primarily florida hunter so I would like to know if its a three toed horse or another species since it looks different then the ones ive found down here.

Primate fossils are very rare. I would really like to see what primate fossils TFF members have in their collections or have collected and donated. Mine have been personally collected, and have been donated, and are posted below. Let me start this post with the nicest primate fossil that I’ve seen, to show what is possible to find. A Messel researcher from Germany, to whom I’ve sent thousands of squamate specimens for study, sent me the below Messel book gratis last year. This is a book full of incredibly preserved specimens from plants, to insects, to mammals, to birds, to reptiles, to amphibians, to fish. Some very well-preserved primate fossils are in this Messel book, including an incredible Darwinius masillae articulated specimen shown in the below picture. After showing that incredible Messel primate, my primate specimens, which follow, seem pretty meager, but nevertheless are of scientific value. First, three primate teeth that I found in anthill matrix, from anthills situated on exposures of the Big Cottonwood Creek Member of the Chadron Formation (Latest Eocene-early Oligocene), from my sons’ M&M Ranch in Nebraska are shown in the below picture within a figure, as well as the cover of the publication that they are described in. Because the researchers were not able to assign the teeth to a genus (see the text in the red box in the below picture) I intend to recollect anthill matrix in the same 3 areas where the teeth were found in hope of finding a more complete primate specimen (at least a partial jaw with a premolar, molars) so the species can be identified. Secondly, a partial omomyid primate jaw, which I found in the Eocene, Nanjemoy Formation of Virginia, shown below in a figure from the paper that the partial jaw is described in (see first page of the paper below). Also note the two excerpts below from the paper. Due to the extreme rarity of this specimen, it is extremely unlikely that I could find another specimen that might be positively identified. From the paper Title and Abstract: "First Fossil Primate from the Atlantic Coastal Plain" From the paper DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: "Considering its geographic separation from other known North American, as well as European, omomyids, it almost certainly represents a previously unknown species. However, in the absence of premolars (often the most diagnostic teeth in omomyids) or any other anterior teeth, or obvious derived molar traits, it would be premature to create a new taxon for this fragmentary specimen." I am really hoping for and looking forward to TFF member primate posts to this thread. Marco Sr.

From the album: Fossils
One of my favorite Lee Creek finds, a nice seal jaw with 5 teeth. This must have been a fairly young individual because there is almost no wear on the teeth.
