Hi Everyone, I’ve been living down in Texas with my family instead of my usual location in Missouri, and had a free day to go to the North Sulfur River (NSR). I had no idea my family lived so close to such a fun location to fossil hunt. I had a great time and have been trying to find the identity of a few of the fossils I found. I know identification posts are generally individually done, but since they were all found at the same location I decided to group them into one post. Hope that's not too against forum rules. Anyway, I’d love y'alls thoughts on what they might be! All the following were found in the North Sulfur River – Ozan formation. Number 1: This seems to me to be a jaw bone, but beyond that I'm unsure. Two possible growth teeth. What do you think? Number two: Are these bacculites end pieces? Number 3: I saw in another post these were identified as mammoth enamel. Think that is what they are or just something geological? I have a few more I'll include in a following post...

Hi all, once again, this was found in a stream in Eureka, MO, USA. It is about 1.5 inches long and very light weight.

I have been TRYING to find some shark teeth in the Cretaceous Glen Rose Formation around Canyon Lake (not a lot of shark teeth in the Glen Rose Formation!) But I know they are there...just far and few between, as my parents would say. Soooo....finally stumbled across this tiny little thing. It's not your classic cretodus, obviously, but could it be a tooth? With the root broken? What gives me pause is it is grooved along the front curved edge.. There is a distinct furrow. Perhaps it is an enchodus tooth? I don't know enough about vertebrates to know. Also, found a little group of what.I think might be pychnodont teeth, but I am just not sure! Any help with ID'ing these would be appreciated! Thanks so much! Tooth ?

With extra time on my hands I'm trying to ID some of my miscellaneous finds. I found this small tooth many years ago. It's about 27 mm long, just over an inch. Generally I find terrestrial, pleistocene, occasionally pliocene or miocene. @Harry Pristis @PrehistoricFlorida

I found this down in the peace river Florida area and it’s got me stumped. 1 perfect tooth in the jaw section intact. A second tooth right behind it that looks split in half. Any ideas?
-
Greetings! I hope everyone is staying well out there. I found this tooth while sifting in the peace river a few days ago. I usually only find shark teeth and horse teeth - rarely whale or dolphin but this is my first Tooth of this type !! Is this a premolar from a canine or feline...or neither? something carnivorous though right!? The shape is similar to photos of a bear dog tooth I saw on the forum but it’s pretty small. It’s about .5” X .5” Thanks for looking. Cheers, Marie

Found this in a wet creek bed near the Wabash River in Lafayette, Indiana, USA. Tippecanoe county mostly hosts crinoids, but I wondered if this hash plate also held a tooth. Many thanks in advance!

I visited the North Sulfur River for the first time today and found some great (to me) stuff. Some help with identification would be appreciated. The bones. I didn't expect to find this many bones. Can anyone tell what kind of femur that is? It's short, but very hefty. And it's flat, not round like a human femur. Standing on edge in this photo, you can see how flat it is.

I found this tooth a long time ago, on a river bank in north Alabama, and have just held onto it. I'm not even positive that it's fossilized, but it seems like it is to my untrained eye. It is still pretty sharp on the front and back edges. I really don't know anything else about it, but it doesn't look similar to any shark teeth that i know of, or alligator. Any help would be appreciated!

I found this matrix containing something that reminds me of the fossilized fish tooth pictures that I have seen around on here. When I noticed this, I chipped this matrix section off of a larger shell hash plate containing mostly Turritella sp. and bivalves. Its original location is in Ellsworth county, Kansas at Kanopolis reservoir. Age of this matrix is Albian and it is from Kiowa formation-Longford Member. Length of this 'tooth' is about .25 inches/6.5 mm. Can anyone identify what it is? It is currently soaking in a bowl of water, I hope to remove more of the matrix off to get a better look at it. Do you have any advice/tips on how to do it without breaking the 'tooth'? As you can see it, it's very small and I have nearly no experience in prepping the fossils beyond the washing and brushing with toothbrush.

Hello all. This is my first post. Today I was fossil hunting on a small beach area off the side of a road, where there are a TON of rocks. I found quite a few great finds, and this one was my largest. I'm not an expert by any means, and at first I thought this was some kind of horn coral. I posted a photo on Reddit, and one person thought it may have been a trilobite. I didn't think this was very likely, but now that it's been brought up I can kind of see it. The other suggestion was a woolly mammoth tooth (Mammuthus primigenius). This fossil was found on a small beach in western Michigan. I included a photo of the back of the rock since it was suggested to get it from all angles, though there was nothing special on the back so that's why one of the photos just looks like a normal old rock. If anyone can confirm any of my three answers, or give another option entirely, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I found this while digging in my garden. I feel like one of them might be a horse tooth. Do you guys have any thoughts?

Fossil preparation repair restoration dinosaur albertosaurus tooth
Dinobot posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Hi there I recently purchased a Albertasaurus tooth. A portion is in a matrix and there are some broken off pieces. This would be my first attempt a putting a fossil back together. If you could provide any input on 1. if it would devalue it by doing it, 2. how I should do it, 3. and what tools or glue or putty I should use. If you could dumb down the language for me that would be appreciated, like I said this is my first time!

Hi I’m new to this forum. My son and I love fossils and we found a few interesting ones on a recent trip to the Jurassic south coast of England. Can anyone help with the identification of this fragment of bone we picked out of the sticky, Jurassic, Oxford Clay? The bone fragment seems to hold the remains of a small tooth? Its only 2.5cm long in total. Thanks Matt

Recently received back from my prepper a 2.2 inch allosaurus tooth. Here is the before and after. Big difference. At first I thought that the tip was missing but it turns out that it was natural feeding wear! Extra bonus.

I obtained a 1.5 inch tarbosaurus tooth from a very old collection decades ago. One that had not been prepped since the day it was collected. I decided to finally prep it and wanted to show you all the final product. Very happy. Amazing serrations.

Need some help with this one. I think it's fish, but beyond that I'm lost. Found on the banks of the Tar River in Eastern NC -- I believe Pliocene, Yorktown formation (other NC members please correct if wrong). First thought was fish tooth in a fragment of jaw but its all one piece, so not likely. Tooth with a strange piece of attached root, or not tooth at all, but bone?? Scale divisions are 1mm.

Good morning! I am a complete novice so this may be very easy for all of you. I was walking the beach along the ocean in Saint Augustine, Florida (northeastern Florida). I always look for shark teeth (of which there are many) but recognize them as being black. I found this tooth and it is cream colored. My husband thinks it might belong to someone’s pet. But, it could be something exciting! What do you think?

Hello, I am currently re-sorting my collection and this brings up some questions about some modern shark teeth. For example, I found two teeth of this appearance. At first glance, I would suspect a Carcharhinus species (like C. falcifromis, but the teeth look different) , but I don't know which. Unfortunately, I don't find any comparable teeth in the Internet. Even if this isn't a fossil this time, I hope that you can help me again. The tooth is 1,3cm (0,51") in size and from the philippines. Best regards from Germany!

I found this on a gulf coast beach near Venice Florida. There were many shark teeth and other fossils in the area. I believe it is a reptile tooth, but do not know how to tell if it is an alligator, or some other aquatic reptile. It has a fine ridge running up one side. Any clues or help with ID is appreciated.
