Confirming T-Rex Tooth Please
XMarksThe Spot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone. I've been lurking around this site for some time looking over posts regarding t-tex teeth as I've been searching for an entry level specimen. I normally deal in high end mineral specimens, and generally keep away from fossils as it's a complex specialty. I recently purchased this tooth off an auction site and wanted to get an opinion or two about it's authenticity. From my past "lurking" it would appear this tooth matches the description and images I have seen previously posted. It's 1.6" and comes from "Hell Creek." Any educational feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello! I just completed my second trip out to Point A Dam in River Falls, AL and found a couple of interesting things that I cannot seem to ID. Due to traveling, I only took a few pictures and had to use a coin for scale before moving to my next destination, so I apologize for the lack of quantity and quality of my photos. When I get time, I can take more images of the samples below upon request. Thank you! 1: I’m leaning toward Angel shark (?) 2: Legitimately do not have a clue… Maybe stingray related as it is long and cylindrical but it has confounded me. It does have a hole through the center that was difficult to image, presumably for soft tissue. 3: Once again, I don’t have a clue. The bottom of these pieces are smooth and concave below the central “peak.” 4: Miscellaneous pieces. Very well could be nothing but figured I may as well post them.

Found this at Carolina Beach. It’s the same color and texture as another confirmed shark tooth that we found and it has a triangular shape but it’s missing that top ridge part so I’m unsure if it is a shark tooth or not. If it is, is it possible to ID the kind? Thank you!

Hi all, I was recently told about supposed Aigialosaurus/aigialosaurid (mosasaurus) material from the Wealden at Bexhill-on-Sea in East Sussex, and was wondering whether anybody knows anything more about this. Because, as far as I'm aware (Wikipedia), Aigialosaurus is described from Hvar in Croatia and, moreover, temporarily restricted to the Cenomanian, whereas these remains, stemming from the Wealden, would be Early Cretaceous in age (Berriasian through Aptian) - most likely Valanginian, as they were recovered from Bexhill-on-Sea. (Image source) I must say these remains do look rather mosasauroid, although I've been unsuccessful in finding further information on the specimen, which is supposed to be housed in the Bexhill Museum. The person who first told me about them remembers having seen a newspaper article, believes the British Natural History Museum was involved with the specimen back then, and had heard about a paper being written about it. That's about all I have to go on for now. So my questions right now are: does anyone have more information on this specimen; know of the publication; and what do people here generally make of this piece: is it mosasauroid, or could it be something else? @paulgdls @DE&i @Praefectus @caterpillar @The Amateur Paleontologist @Kosmoceras @ThePhysicist @Welsh Wizard @DanJeavs

Hi all, Below are five items that I found on my recent trip to Big Brooks in NJ (known for its Cretaceous deposits) and struggle to identify properly. 1. The big hooked thing I would have said is a part of a cephalic clasper, possibly from a Hybodont shark. But would be great if someone could confirm. 2. The straight tooth I'm not sure. The closest match I could find was a Xiphactinus, but could be something else. 3. The curved tooth is maybe from a reptilian? Maybe a small mosasaur tooth or some other crocodilian? Just judging by the roundness, even though it's clearly broken in half. 4. The small plate I have really no clue. Can't even tell if it's a mouth plate, scute, scale or just a fancy rock. 5. Regarding that big thing all I can say for sure is that it's a bone fragment of some sort. Was wondering though if it could be from a turtle shell? Just judging by the almost perfect 90 degree angle and the somewhat more bubbly internal structure. But that could be totally wrong. Thanks!

Hello, once again we turn to the expert opinion of the forum. Here is such a strange object. Age Early Pleistocene, Black Sea coast. Apparently it's a fish tooth. Pay attention to the wear of one of the edges of the crown, very curious. In general, it resembles an Archaeomanta tooth in my opinion, perhaps the sample was washed into the Pleistocene deposits from more ancient ones. Or is it another fish? Thank you very much for your attention, sorry for bad English.

This is the best find for me to date! I believe it is an equus and I found it in the Platte River in central Nebraska. I found a single tooth first and it looks like it came from the jaws. One question I have....is there anything I should do with this when it dries out? I want to be able to display it in my home. Thank you!
-
Couple questions if anyone could answer. The first is what I think is a pretty worn down horse tooth. Second one peaks my interest because I’ve found multiple of these things all different sizes but to me it looks and feels man made. Any ideas ? Have no idea on these next two. Any takers ?

I have several items that I could use help identifying. They were collected in the Platte River of central Nebraska.

Heading to South Carolina, Summerville area for 3 days next week to search for shark teeth and fossils with my 19 year old son. August 2nd - 4th. Anyone interested in meeting up, let me know. I have been there once before years ago, and have been trying to best prepare as it seems the results haven't been so great (reading posts online). Last time we went we had lots of rain and water levels were prohibitive. I read the rules of no tools, which I presume means no sifting. Does anyone know if the rules are only for Summerville itself or surrounding areas too? I know no one wants to give up any spots, but if there are any tips/considerations, please let me know. Thank you

Need help to ID potential fossils found in The Little Harpeth River in Brentwood, TN
KWalla posted a topic in Fossil ID
I think these are fossils but need someone to verify and possibly identify. I found these in a creek bed along the Little Harpeth River in Brentwood, TN. They were all within a 30’ area in the creek bed. Some may not even be fossils but figured I’d post pictures just in case they were. I’ve taken close ups of the first row and if I need to take some of the other rows I can. “A” and “B” are the ones I’m most curious about because to me they look like actual fossils. ”C”-“E” feel like a shell of some sort, like a turtle. “G” & “H” are cylindrical looking and sound like porcelain when you tap them against something. “T” looks like a finger and has ripples in the sides and is fairly heavy. Not light like a regular fossil would be. “U” almost feels and sounds like porcelain and I found it in the same area as these others. The last one is what I think is a turtle shell that doesn’t look to be a fossil but I’ll leave that up to you all to decide.

I have this 3 mosasaur teeth form oued zem @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon @Praefectus. TOOTH 1: TOOTH 2: TOOTH 3: Just be general shape and size I guess all of them are thalassotitan, 1 being the most obvious one. But why 2 and 3 are more curved, it's because are probably from the back of the jaw? And why 3 doesn't have a mesial carina and the other two yes, also because of the position in the jaw? My general knowledge with thalassotitan is that as you go back in the jaw tooth appear to be more robust. But what about this other characteristics? Thanks!

Rebbachisaurus or Titanosaur？ An unknown sauropod dinosaur from North Africa.
liuhaowang45 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone, these are the two teeth I purchased. The provider said these are from Rebbachisaurus, but I think they look more like Titanosauria. Additionally, the lighter one looks somewhat distinct, could it really belong to a sauropod?

A little art project I’m working on. The teeth are all real, no restorations - all found by myself and my daughter. I get that the teeth aren’t t-rex but I just liked the skull replica (bought online). I also get that the teeth aren’t necessarily in the right position or arch, but I figured 99.999%of people would never know. The original skull had horrible looking teeth before I broke them all out Feel free to tell me what’s blatantly wrong and I can fix it, or replace with other teeth I’ve got. Next up is working on a frame to hang it in. I was thinking a sheet metal backing with a wood frame and some led lights behind the skull? Any thoughts or ideas in a display? thanks

Hi Everyone, I will be grateful for helping me with identification of shark and stingrays teeth found in Korytnica clays in Poland (miocene-badenian age). I'm searching for genus and species names rather than common names (for example "Galeocerdo aduncus" instead of "tiger shark") but every information will be useful. Thank you!

Found these teeth and am wondering what they are. Found in a creek an hour south of Mandan ND in the cannonball formation

I decided to stop by and check out a few road cuts while traveling through the St. Louis area and found what I believe are a couple of fish teeth. I'm not certain, but all of their features lead me to believe they are fish teeth. They were both found loose of rock and close by each other as seen in the first photo. While they very in size and shape, I believe it is probable they are from the same type of animal. The rock seems to be Mississippian in geologic age, though I'm unsure of the geologic formation they eroded out from. This isn't territory I am familiar with, so I appreciate anyone's expertise on the matter!

Ive been trying to "assemble" a "set" of Serratolamna ascheroni. I have based the dentition on a blue shark/Hemipristis dentition. I would like some advice about, the difference in uppers and lowers. In the pics on the bottom row I have tried to show the two versions I think are viable. The left is Prionace, the right Hemi based "set" Which one looks right? Open to advice, critique, or refrences.

What species could this tooth belong to and is it actually a fossil?
nika posted a topic in Fossil ID
As far as I can tell, this is a single rooted tooth. I am not sure if this is old enough to count as a fossil, but since it is so dark in colour I suspect it is at least not brand-new. It is not very pointy, so it doesn´t look like a carnivore tooth to me. On the picture I think the sequence of the the positional relationship from front left to bottom right is labial, palatinal, mesial, distal. I'm leaning towards a mandibular incisor. It was found on a glacial freshwater lake in Germany. The right side of the scale is in cm. I would be grateful if anyone has an idea about the owner of this tooth, or could point me in a good direction on how to further narrow it down.

Hello everyone, I found some mammal teeth on a recent trip to the Peace River. Help in identifying would be appreciated! Tooth #1 The first tooth I believe could be from a peccary; however, I know that peccary teeth are similar to wild boar teeth. Are there any indicators that would allow me to tell the difference? Tooth #2 I do not know the species this tooth comes from. Any ideas?
