Hi I’m looking into buying these three teeth and am wondering if they look good to anyone? Like restoration, repair, composite? And if it’s possible to identify the species? Thank you for any feedback! baby Diplodocid indet, Morrison Formation Theropod indet, Morrison Formation Tyrannosaur indet, Judith River Formation

Continental fossil from Italy. My first experience with the Microfossil realm
Kiros posted a topic in Micro-paleontology
Hello everyone, I want to tell you my first experience with Microfossil. (I can't stop anymore, it's a drug). Anyway, last months I worked in the paleontology museum of my university. My role was pretty much to be a factotum but in particular I had to rediscover all the fossils that are in the deposits and in the basement. I can't describe you the tons and tons of unknown material there is. We already found many interesting and never described pieces. Anyway, back to our story, in the deposits there where dozens of bags full of fossiliferous sediments from Cava dell'erba in souther Italy a lower pleistocene/pliocene site known better for the macrofossils (Pirro Nord fauna). The bags need all to be sifted cleaned and studied, looking also for human remains. Three of these bags were unfortunately broken and all the sediment was mixed making it completely useless for any study (the sediment come from carsic fissures so the level and the position is very important). So the museum director told me that sediment was going to be thrown away, or if I wanted I could bring it at home. I clearly took it with me, I washed sifted and collected and here are my preliminary results. The photo represents all the teeth and mandible I found there are insectivors rodents amphibian, there is also a canine (from what it can come from? It's the second from right in the second row) I still have a bag to study and tons of bones to identify, I'm gonna ask you some help very soon- 16 replies

Found in Round rock Texas, just north of Austin. Pieces found among weathered rubble at base of a limestone cliff rich in devils toenails, next to a creek. The Texas pocket geologic map I'm referencing is a bit confusing, showing the area to be at somewhat of a confluence of the "Del rio clay and Georgetown formation", Edwards limestone, Eagle ford group, and Buda Limestone. I'm very cautious about being the annoying newbie who calls every little rock he finds a fossil, so when I came across four large, curved, tooth shaped stones amid many devils toenails and scallops today, I was hesitant to get my hopes up. My thoughts are that they may be too large to be the teeth of any western interior seaway life that I know of - based on a google search, if these are teeth, they'd be as big if not bigger than even the teeth of tylosaurus, so I have my doubts. That said, my other amateur hunch is perhaps these are fillings of limestone holes that hardened. But I'll let you guys be the judge of that. Below is the first, stuck in matrix on almost every side - there is a small, smooth exposed patch in the right middle. Measurements are quite roughly 3.5 inches from the tip to the base of the matrix, I have no ruler handy at the moment Below is another look, closer this time an centered on the tip Here is the same piece, curved in towards me this time - And one last side profile to show the suspiciously smooth and even curvature Now, I'll show the other pieces I found. All of these , the one above included, were found within a few square meters of each other. It's possible they're associated. below is another angle of the piece above: And to finish, these last two pictures are of two completely separate bits, each only getting it's one picture ...and I would greatly appreciate any possible ID's or explanations! Thanks for reading through!

Howdy all I’m wondering if there is any variation in the teeth between different hadrosaur species? In the guide to common vertebrate fossils of Alberta there is a diagram that portrays a supposed Corythosaurus tooth and that some other tooth diagrams do not represent Corythosaurus. There’s a bit of a difference between the diagrams, but I’m unsure if it warrants identification to a genus level. I took a look at my hadrosaur teeth and noticed there is a difference between these two. The one on the right is wider and has a more prominent central carina. Could this be taxonomic variation, or is it just individual variation? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi everyone, I recently got a couple teeth as a gift and was able to identify some but these were a harder nut to crack. The biggest (the dark one on the left) is about 4-5cm. This one also feels extremly light for its size so it might be fake. Any help with these would be appreciated!

I went back to a new spot on POC and found the typical array of broken shark teeth, a few Ptychodus teeth, and some interesting items I'm not really sure about. Anyone have an idea of what the item in pictures 6-8 are? What about 9-11 maybe coprolite or a fossilized crustacean? The item in pictures 12-14 appears to be a tooth but with no enamel I didn't think it was a shark tip. It could also just be a piece of bone or something. Sorry for the poor picture quality of that one but I will take better ones of it later. Im pretty sure picture 15 is a rudist and lastly the item in pictures 16-18 I think is just a coincidentally formed rock. The rest of the pictures are of some cool items like the shark or fish verts, the small fossilized crab claw, a broken piece of sawfish rostrum, and a few cool pieces of matrix with inclusions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.

Went out for a couple hours last Sunday afternoon. Found a few things that I kept. One tooth I was a couple rains to late. One tooth was just in time because the next rain would have scattered down the hill. And the biggest and best tooth was lucky to see at all in last patch of dirt I was going to look at. Also collected a neat branching bryozoa. And a couple large echinoid plates.

From the album: Pennsylvanian Fossils of Northeast Oklahoma
This is one of the crushing teeth of Deltodus, from Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) shale in northeastern Oklahoma. This tooth is only about 4 mm thick. Deltodus comprised a genus of cartilaginous fishes in the class Chondrichthyes, subclass Holocephali. Modern day holocephalans include chimaeras.-

Where to get started in finding Central Texas teeth and bones
Jared C posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I'm a newbie who lives in the Austin area with a lot of passion for ancient life, but I'm having trouble making a decisive start with with my searches. I have a particular interest in large western interior seaway predators, most notably xiphactinus, but also the mosasaurs and sharks that lived in the area as well. Finding a vertebrae, of perhaps even teeth from these groups would be absolutely wonderful, but of the few creeks in the Austin area I've scouted, I've been able to turn up nothing besides gastropods. This is still despite heavily studying the sometimes confusing Texas geological maps So with this in mind, how and where do I start? Are there any places in the Austin area where I may have some luck in discovering possible vertebrae or teeth? I'd love any advice, I'm eager to make a start but I'm quite alone and need a little bit of guidance. Thanks! -

Two teeth here. I think both are from the beach in Jacksonville Florida. Although, the first might have been from a phosphate mine. I can’t remember. They look like they might be canines?

Hey Folks, my presence has been a little light on here lately, I have been hanging around in TFF facebook as an admin and working on furthering my nascent paleo career. I hope you are all doing well, I certainly miss all my forum friends! I have been doing a little side project for a few months: writing Wikipedia pages for fossil Cartilaginous fish. It's one little way I can give back to the fossil community, so the next curious person doesn't have to go through the trouble of finding and accessing references and distilling information for obscure species as I have. It's also a task I find a little mindless and relaxing. Anyway, one problem I consistently run across is a lack of usable photos. While not strictly necessary, I think it is helpful to have a visual aid. Up until now, I have gone down the list alphabetically and contacted people to get pictures of teeth, but this is extremely tedious and I don't always get responses. So, I have a humble request! If you have shark or ray teeth from species or genera which do not yet have a picture and/or page on Wikipedia and you would be fine with it being used on one, upload a picture to Wikimedia Commons or post it in this thread and I can upload it. If you chose the former, let me know here so I can write a page on it or insert it into the proper article. If you chose the latter, it will be under my name (Mason Hintermeister) but I can credit you in the description. If you'd like me to do so, let me know what name you'd like to be credited as (You can PM me this information if you like). If you have fossils of species and genera which don't have Wikipedia pages which are not cartilaginous fish, I can upload them too and maybe even write a page for them. I'm not expecting a ton of responses here, but I like to think every new page and picture helps. Photographs are usually under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, a fancy way of saying the photograph is usable by anyone provided they link the citation and they do not alter the photograph. If you upload it yourself, you have other options and if you have me upload it and you would like to use a different option just let me know. Thanks in advance!
