Hello all, I know the ID of teeth from Morocco/Niger is very difficult but this one has been bugging me since I pulled the trigger on it. I'm happy to call it Theropod Indet but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the shape of this tooth is reminiscent of a specific theropod family because the shape is so skinny compared to normal theropod teeth and this was allegedly from Niger. I tried to include as many and as clean photos as possible. A specific genus isn't necessary but if anyone has any idea which family this tooth is from, I'll be very grateful. It measures 2.25" straightline.

Mammal incisor (?) Found at Big Brook, New Jersey - any chance it's pleistocene?
TRexEliot posted a topic in Fossil ID
I just found this earlier today. It's so hard for me to judge age on mammal material in Big Brook because it stains so quickly...

Hello fellow fossil hunters! This is my first post here and I came here for some expertise on identifying a tooth I found recently on a trip to Portugal. I found it at a beach in the Algarve region. I read that locally they have mako sharks and blue sharks but I’m not sure what animal it is from. Since this is my first (maybe) fossil find. I appreciate any guesses for ID-ing this tooth, thanks in advance! 🙏😁

I recently saw this carnivorous mammal tooth from the Brule Formation for sale. It is labelled as being that of a Hesperocyon gregarius, but what little I know of carnivorous mammal dentition leads me to believe that the tooth could in fact come from a Hyaenodon. As always, I've decided I'm going to play it safe and ask someone of greater expertise to verify this. It is my understanding that @jpc, @Randyw and @ParkerPaleo are all Brule Formation specialists, so I will take the liberty of "@ing" you all in. Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel

I recently came across this mosasaur tooth from the Ozan Formation for sale, and wondered if it would be possible to identify to a genus or species level. It measures around 1.5cm from the tip of the tooth to its base. It is my understanding that @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon is something of an expert on marine reptiles. What do you make of the tooth? Thanks in advance for any proposals Othniel

Nebraska - South Platte River Gravel Piles - Ivory Fragments?
Lechuguilla posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, i'm new to the Forum. I have collected these fragments in the South Platte River Valley out of a gravel pile from a sandpit in West-Central Nebraska just South of the Sandhills. they were collected at different times of sand production, so probably not all from the same original animal. They are relatively dense/heavy with a slight patina on the convex surface. (one of the fragments is rounded from the river.) I was thinking it is enamel from a tooth. Although the largest fragment is 4.5" long, so maybe they could be ivory? Coworkers have also talked about finding "tortoise shells" in other piles, so maybe that is what they are... I thought I would post these and see if anyone has any thoughts? Thank you.thumb.JPG.26687486d928d931976698a0840081d8.JPG)

First post to the forum, been avidly browsing for some time having been collecting fossils for some years. Not sure whether I've just found a funky rock or if it might be a claw or tooth. Found near Whitby. Anyone able to advise please.

Any idea on what genus this could be from? Or, if it even is a crocodile after all? This tooth was previously IDed as a crocodile but others claimed spinosaurid. The tooth is late Cretaceous in age. It's from the Kem Kem Phosphate Beds in Touz, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco.

I found this yesterday in a creek here in Adams County, MS. It is encased in oxidized blue-clay. It was carved out of a bed of oxidized Blue-Clay, and has tumbled since. Can someone identify it for me?

7 Year Old Boy, determined to be a paleontologist, brought home something to be identified.
ZoeyyBird posted a topic in Fossil ID
My son brought this home from the playground at school today we are in Spring Texas. About 2 hours from the gulf shore. He is very decided on being a scientist when he grows up with alot of focus on Dinosaurs. Did not want to disappoint him by not having an answer for his find. I appreciate yall looking at it for us! It is a very interesting shape.

Found this in glacial deposits in E Kansas. I understand that it is not a complete tooth, so I’m not expecting a miracle I’ve never found a tooth with whorls like this one, so I’m a little lost. As always, I appreciate the help!

Was instructed by local "experts" that it was a dire wolf pre molar, i don't trust the validity of that statement. So i need expert validation.
