Oreodont Merycoidodon Teeth
JulianoLPD posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there, guys. So, I got these from an internet auction. It's the first time I put my hands on this kind of piece. It doesn't "feel" fake or nothing, but I just want to be sure, so I thought I'd better get an expert opinion. What do you think? It's supposed to be Merycoidodon culbertsoni, from the Oligocene of South Dakota Badlands.

Hello together, I think I may have asked about these before, posted together with other teeth. They were sold together with other fossils supposedly from kem kem, saying "teeth from Abelisaur/Dromaeosaur" which is not very helpful. Can any of you tell me more about them? Sorry if already got an answer for these, could not find one. Only the darkest one shows much of the serration, the sandy part may be repaired? @Troodon, @LordTrilobite, your expertise would be most welcome. @Abstraktum Thanks and greetings, J

Was looking over my right lower mandible of a woolly mammoth jaw and noticed two sets of teeth. Most of the times, there were only four functional molar teeth at a time, two in the upper jaw and two in the lower. Did some research and discovered woolly mammoth teeth are much different than ours. When we lose our baby teeth, adult teeth come in at the same spot. This is not true for mammoths. Once a tooth is worn down from too much grinding, a new tooth grows behind it. The new tooth slowly moves forward and pushes the old one out. This leaves a fresh set of ridges for grinding food. They had six sets of molars throughout a lifetime. The replacement process continues on until the sixth tooth is in place. This happens when the mammoth is about 30 years old. The mammoth uses the sixth molar for the rest of its life. Once the sixth tooth is worn down, there are no more replacement teeth. Without teeth, the mammoth can no longer eat and soon starves. It is unique to find a jaw that has teeth in between two growth stages. Turns out that’s what I have! You can distinctly see a smaller second set in front of the larger one that is getting pushed forward. Wanted to share what I learned today.

Hello all. I am very new to the world of hunting fossils, but have found a few things that I would appreciate help identifying. Found these in Wyoming and I suspect gator teeth, shark teeth, turtle skin and fish vertebrae. Beyond that, I do not know species, age or anything else. Input?

Hi. I found my 1st North Myrtle teeth. Can I please get an ID of the bottom one. The root and blade seem to be from 2 different teeth... Sorry for the bad pic. No camera other than my cell phone. The blade has some very fine serrations. It's a pretty tooth. Thanks. Andy

For the first time in a while was able to get out to Big Brook today. My daughter and I found some pretty nice stuff. Nice sized Mako and partial jaw were my best finds. Not sure what kind of fish the jaw was from.

Found in the creek of the Barsch property(Parents) in Parke County Indiana. The ravine is about 60-80 ft deep. Not sure I know one of the Ice ages only got as far south as our neck of the woods. You should see the neolithic stone tools I found in the same area. Thomas Barsch

Howdy, I find these sifting at Venice beach. Are they worn down/broken wave worn pieces of manatee teeth and enamel? Some of them remind me of a very worn down half of an image A. from @Harry Pristis photo that was previously shared on the forum. I think they are so beautiful and I can tell it’s enamel but I never knew from what. thanks

Hey all, I found one tooth that’s certainly from a hadrosaur a while back, and I found this other one sitting right beside it but it’s pretty funky looking. Hoping you could tell me if it’s a hadrosaur tooth as well or just a suspicious rock. (Bottom one in the pic with the measuring tape) Thanks!

I was visiting a friend at a distance in her back yard & she told me to go see her newly dug up flower bed. I found fossils, so also searched another area of her yard that is just dirt & found amazing fossils. I've no idea what any of them are. The material is varied, I think some is bone (it passes the tongue test) and some tooth. There were a couple of probably shark teeth, a maybe skate dental plate, a few shell fossil pieces. There are MANY more pieces that I haven't a clue about. Can anyone tell me if I've got something interesting, please?

About a months worth of finds that I just finally need to ask for some help. Any ideas are helpful! Also if anyone would like me to take an individual video of all the angles of anything, I would be more than happy to. side note, #7 is a vertebra but I would like some help or tips on how to identify the difference between fish vertebrae and snake vertebrae. I love reptiles and I want to make a little collection of the snake vertebrae I find. I’m just not sure how to tell the difference right away

I found what looks like a couple t-rex teeth, there are 4 good size pieces and about 20 smaller pieces. Looks like a complete 2.5" tooth once I piece it together, maybe longer and another partial tooth. Is it T-rex? also what is the best way to glue the pieces together? Is it worth paying someone that knows what they are doing? Also would it be worth digging into that area and see if there are more?
