Going through my recent find from Sharktooth Hill I came across this one that was very different from any others I've seen from there. Possible bramble shark? Not many options that look like this. Your thoughts on it are appreciated! Picture isn't the greatest, but I'm hoping it's distinctive enough.

Hello again everyone. So I decided to take another look at the stuff my uncle gave me like 30 years ago and took some pictures to see if this all fake too. I didn't notice there was a pouch in the box, but written on it was "Teeth Southern Illinois". This is maybe half of them, and some other thing that was in a bag, inside the other bag. Any thoughts? Thanks! Dan

Hello I'm a newbie fossil collector (and newly active member) who happens to several interesting fossils for a decent price from our favorite auctions sites 1st is are Knightia. The seller claims that they are not restored or enhanced 2nd set are 4 Spinosaurus teeth. The seller claims that cracks have been repaired, but no restoration or composition has been made (Pictures 2-9 of teeth in pairs) 3rd is a Lycoptera which the seller claims is not restored or enhanced 4th are plates of Elrathia Trilobites from Wheeler Formation 5th are Fossil Ferns from Llewellyn Formation 6th is a Hyracodon jaw fragment I would like to ask if the sellers' description of the items are accurate and/or if they are restored, enhanced or composites. Cheers!

Here is another piece of my dinosaur collection - this time material from Eurasian countries. Unfortunately don't have any Triassic or Early Jurassic material, so let's begin with Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of Itat formation, Krasnoyarskyi region, Russia. Theropods are the most common dinosaurs from there, yet their teeth rarely exceed 15 mm in length. Here is my largest one - could be from Kileskus aristotocus, an early Proceratosaurid (ancestor of Cretaceous tyrannosaurs) and the only described dinosaur from this location. Here are a bunch of Kileskus teeth I had before There also likely were more theropod species, similar to contemporary Chinese Dashanpu formation - methriacanthosaurids (equivalent to Sinraptor), megalosaurids and ceratosaurs. Some teeth I have or had that could be megalosaurids due to bulkier shape and finer serrations (all around 1 cm). In addition I have some specimens from diverse herbivores - Stegosaurids Long-necked sauropods (Mamenchisauridae), possible embryonic teeth Heterodontosaurid fang tooth, 5 mm (huge for this species!)

Found on Morris Island off of Charleston, South Carolina. I understand it was used during the Civil War as an encampment. Could this be horse teeth from that time period? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! I like to collect rocks and have visited Calvert Cliffs Beach several times to look for fun rocks and shells. The last two times I was there, I found these teeth-looking fossils. Can anyone help ID them? Thanks! Rachel

Hi! I was walking along the beach on Topsail Island in North Carolina searching for sharks teeth after a storm when I found what appears to be a tooth. The strange part is that it closely resembles human teeth. I can’t seem to find anything like it in my books or online and I am trying to figure out what species it could possibly be. It’s about 1 millimeter long, if the ruler isn’t very clear in the photo.

Hello everyone! I’ve just stumbled across this forum, and I’m in desperate need of some (hopefully) easy identification! When I was a little girl, I was absolutely OBSESSED with sharks, so my father brought me to a man who collects shark teeth, he very kindly gave me a small box of them, including a small juvenile megalodon tooth. This was in about 2009, and sadly I don’t have any information about them, I have no contact with the man anymore, and no idea of where they could be from, as I live in Sheffield, in the middle of the UK. If anyone could please even take a loose guess at these, I would be so thrilled! These have a lot of sentimental value to me, and I do apologise for the quality, I tried my best but we don’t have any good cameras.

Hello, I went out collecting shark teeth at the beach near Knokke (West-Flanders, Belgium). The teeth found in Knokke are from Paleogene and Neogene period. I only took those which I think are still pretty good preserved for determination. I tried myself for putting names on it but I think I'll need help anyway Someone who can help me out with my sharkies? 1) Sylvestrielamia teretidens or Striatolamia macrota? 2) Physogaleus secundus 3) Brachycarcharias lerichei? 4) Sylvestrilamia teretidens? 5) 6) Lamna nasus or Odontaspis hopei? 7) Striatolamia macrota?

I’m looking for any input I can get on this one found in the Mogollon Rim area near Pine, AZ. Area is known for huge numbers of brachiopods, bryozoans, and other marine fossils. Brand newbie here, so please pardon any lack of proper vernacular. A friend pointed out that it almost looks like a large tooth though I’ve read how often looks can be deceiving. I can almost see a distinguishable line around the object from most angles that makes the appear somewhat symmetrical. I’ve got no clue what all the red stuff is either, but though some of the pics look like raw meat it is indeed rock solid. Could it be some type of fossilized tooth? petrified wood? I tried doing some research but I don’t even know where to begin. I will include a side by side pic of original and with a marking by line we (think) we see. Thank you!

Mammal jaw from Big Brook, NJ (+ a few other questionable bits...)
Diplotomodon posted a topic in Fossil ID
On a whim I decided to stop by the Big Brook site in NJ to see what might have washed up after the rain yesterday...not a lot of shark teeth at all but plenty of weird mammal bits for some reason! I'm not good at all with figuring out mammal material so I figured I'd post some pictures to the forum and get people's thoughts. (Also I suppose it remains to be seen whether this is genuine Pleistocene material or stained, semi-recent bones...) These are smartphone pics (& Android at that) so excuse the quality. This first one is a tiny jaw of what I'm assuming is a rodent of some kind - the size is really throwing me off here. The same jaw is here on the bottom alongside a couple goblin sharks, plus an end of a random limb bone up top. Horse teeth? (The ends on both are broken, unfortunately - these are the most distinctive edges) (image size limit reached, more in next post) -
My wife and I spent a couple of hours wading in Ramanessin Brook in NJ yesterday afternoon sifting for shark teeth and anything else of interest. Nothing spectacular but it was surprisingly steady for a late season trip. It was surprising to me just how much the stream had changed since my last trip there. Many of the big trees across the water had been moved and the gravel beds shifted significantly.
