Hello! I have this iridescent Petalodus tooth that I would like to preserve. Firstly, it has a severe crack though the matrix (see pictures). Secondly, is there anything that I should do with the tooth itself? What are my options? I appreciate your help.

How to differentiate megalosaurid and tyrannosaurid tooth
ruminate posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello everyone! Just a question, whats the best way to diffrentiate the tooth morphology between megalosaurids and tyrannosaurids? -
Dear fellow TFF members, The following two teeth are fairly strange to me. Im afraid Florida is as specific as I can get with the locality of the two. Could the first tooth be a snaggle??? Thank you for your time and expertise.

Hello all, I’ve had this tyrannosaur tooth for a little while now, but haven’t been able to narrow down a species. I’m curious if it is possible to ID it any further. Would love to learn more. It was found in the Judith River Formation (Hill County, MT), and is ~13.5mm. Thank you all for your help in advance!

Spinosaurus Tooth
Jurassic_Nature posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I can't believe the quality of this tooth. Apart from the missing tip it almost seems perfect. Do you see any Red Flags here?

Real or fake megalodon tooth
ruminate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone! Ive been offered this Megalodon tooth, its from Indonesia and measures 6.29 inches. I'm assuming 20% of the root has been restored, not too sure though this is the first time of me trying to differentiate fakes in Megalodons.

Went out metal detecting yesterday and found this in northwest Arkansas. It's exactly 2 1/2" long. It looked like a black rock so I thought it was an unusual shape so I brought it home washed it and it was white. The shape is unusual and the rings on the end are like wood. There's a tiny hole the black is dirt in the hole. It sparkles in the sun a tiny bit but it's not crystal and it doesn't look like the limestone I usually find. Help me out please, thanks.

I have (finally) got around to going through my Moroccan phosphate shark teeth. I've attempted to identify them but I am still not particularly confident at identifying fossils so I thought I'd run it by the experts first. All the teeth are (supposed to be) from the Eocene, save 4 which is (supposed to be) from the Cretaceous. I attempted to label the images with my proposed identifications but there wasn't enough space for all of them so I'll list them all here: 1. Ginglymostomatid (Nebrius?) 2-3. Hemipristis? 4. Unsure 5. Pristid/Sawfish (Pristis?) 6. Otodontid (Cretalamna?) 7-10. Odontaspidid The lighting is also quite poor on these images as the enamel on the teeth is very reflective and they show up as amorphous white blobs if it's too bright as my phone camera is by no means the best. Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's Othniel

You may or may not know that I have been obsessing over finding a mosasaur vertebra and tooth. I am lucky to live in Texas where fossils are plentiful in some areas but the most productive mosasaur area is still 6 hours drive from me. So I don't get there often and the few times I have.....no verts or teeth for me. I am not complaining (too much) because I have found other great things in the North Sulphur River, but not the mosie vert or tooth of my dreams. I am lucky to have friends who hunt there regularly who feel sorry for me and give me verts and even a lovely big tooth. But I DIDN'T FIND THEM. I do know that mosie stuff can be found in Central Texas where I live (thanks to @Jared C and his amazing adventures) I know they can be found (although very rarely) in our local creeks and such. So of course I keep an eye out while hunting but with no real hope of finding them. But I hope anyways! Which brings me to today....which I count as part of my birthday weekend (birthday was Friday, but you know.....weekend still counts! ). Went out on a little fossil hunt to a new site that a friend told me about...lots of baculites (which are relatively rare here in Central Texas) and lo and behold.....I FOUND MY VERT! And not two feet away....a little tooth! Mother Nature decided to gift me not just one, but TWO of my bucket list fossil finds today! Granted, they are pretty busted up and the tooth is not complete, but WHO CARES! I FOUND A MOSASAUR VERT AND TOOTH practically in my own backyard!!!! Turns out this little exposure is Ozan Formation and I can't wait to get back out there again....after a good rain! And, to top it off, found a complete ammonite in addition to some lovely gastropods and about a billion baculites. It's no mosie in situ, but I'll take what I am gifted. Thank you Mother Nature!!!

Yay, i finally got my hands on a nice Eocarcharia tooth from the Elhraz formation, Niger ! Its 3,5 cm in length and the broken end is quite smooth. Has anyone an Idea why ? It's as smooth as glass. Are there any rivers running through that formation which could have possibly sanded it down? Thanks to hear some of yours ideas!

Hello, I’m looking for help identifying this tooth. We were shark tooth hunting in Florida and found this in the dry sand. It was in an area between a bay and the ocean. It is about 0.75” in length. Any thoughts?

Is my Spino tooth legitimate?
M3gal0don_M4n posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
About half an hour ago, I bought a Spino tooth from a shop filled with many random things near my holiday property. I just noticed this tooth has a white chip in it and it led me to slightly doubt if it is real. I think it most likely is real.

Hi! This is a 19MM rooted theropod tooth from the KemKem group. Sold as an Abelisaurus. But would it be possible to be a Baby rooted Carcharodontosaurus tooth? Not sure.

Hello - This is my first post here. When I first saw this, I immediately thought it might be a tooth or some sort but dismissed it as a rock once it dried. I took a closer look the other day and noticed it did have spongy bone like texture at the ridges, and under magnification I noticed more bone like characteristics. I can't find anything like this shape anywhere. None of the teeth I've seen have roots like this, and there aren't any claws that have such a big bulbous end. Although it looks like a tooth, I don't see any straight lines/enamel like textures. This was found at a beach in Santa Cruz, Ca. This measures 4" long x 3" wide and 2" thick. It is very symmetrical. The pics represent this fossil both wet and dry to see various details. Any assistance is very much appreciated. THANK YOU!
