    Yorktown Formation Seal Jaw

    From the album: Fossils

    One of my favorite Lee Creek finds, a nice seal jaw with 5 teeth. This must have been a fairly young individual because there is almost no wear on the teeth.

    Boar tooth?

    I found this today, it's not a fossil, but I was thinking pig tusk, its 2 inches long, thoughts? Thanks!

    Mystery canine from Virginia

    What appears to be a fossil canine tooth from Virginia, USA. out of a layer that typically produces marine fossils from the late Oligocene-early Miocene. It measures ~2.5” from tip of crown to the base of the root, has some sort of cementum or ossification at the base of the root. The enamel is smooth with the presence of a carina on both cutting edges. As you can see, there is very little wear to the tooth, which makes me wonder if it was a juvenile or is that indicative of the type of prey it ate. I initially thought it had to be a whale/odontocete tooth, but the smooth enamel with the presence of the carina has me second guessing that ID. Could it be from a pinniped? Large cat? Something else? This one has me stumped. Any thoughts are appreciated.
  4. Found this tooth on the beach last week. I have found Pleistocene horse, bison & mammoth teeth on the same beach. Any info would be greatly appreciated Georgetown, South Carolina, USA.

    Shark tooth
  8. I bought this tooth online and am looking for opinions on its authenticity. I didn’t see any red flags on the photos (other than the glued break) and thought it would be clear once in-hand. But now I have it and I’m not 100% sure. Seller said it’s from an old collection and doesn’t have any provenance. Thanks in advance!

    Camel Canine?

    I am looking for help identifying this fossil I found in the Peace River in Florida. Our guide thought it might be an alligator claw core (he was uncertain) but the shape or curve of it just isn’t right. The best I could find online is a camel canine. There is enamel and it looks like the tip broke off. What I am assuming is the root is very “wavy” and textured.

    Dire wolf tooth?

    Got this one in the creek Sunday, from size I'm thinking (hoping) that it's dire wolf. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Wood in a river

    Usually, I go with 2 other fossil hunters. One was sick , so just the two today. well, just 2 humans. We have a gator at this location, not unusual on the Peace. I (and most people) tend to over estimate the size of gators, but he/she is big enough to cause concern. I normally take an 8 foot surveyors pole to the river, so that I can stake out my kayak where ever I dig. It has a steel point and could be used for other purposes. On this day, I also chose to strap a 6 inch titanium dive knife to my right leg. Make me feel better, like I'm prepared for eventualities. Today we arrived at 7:30 am in the pouring rain. Rain does not make all that much difference. After all, we are hunting in a river, we get wet even if it does not rain. The forecast accurately predicted it would stop at 10 am. Arrived home late. and do not have time to sort and photo all my finds, but I selected 3 For my fossil Q&A. A Meg... this was my only one close to whole... I like cusps. Also feeding damage , I think, on the tip. It is a little hard to tell, but this meg (root tip to tip and slant length are both 10.5 mm).. had a brown root , green blade with a yellow band on the blade closest to the root. The Peace is a black water river. Q1. What does that tell you about this Meg? Next up ... a 19.5 mm canine. I think it is likely raccoon.. The Peace is a black water river. Q2) Can I tell the difference between a fossilized canine form 20000 years ago , or a modern one that has been in the river for the last year ? A 3rd find that really made me want to ask questions... Mostly because I do not know much about fossilized wood I find in the river. Q3. The Peace is a black water river. Why is this fossil not black. Q4. I think I have found this pattern previously. It might be a Liana vine. @Harry Pristis has a GREAT picture and might know.... What ever it is, I only find small pieces... Is it more likely to be broken pre_fossilization or post_fossilization into these smaller chunks ? Q5 is about the more likely process. Lots of wood falls into the river and stays there. Some of that wood rots but things like ceder and cypress do not. Does a likely process involve a vine falling into the water, settling to the bottom, covered by sand and mud, and having heavily mineralized water seep thru for 10000 years? or something else ? All comments appreciated, Jack

    Canine tooth ID

    Hello, Yesterday I came across this tooth on a beach local to me in south west Scotland. I first thought seal but have discovered it’s too large and can’t think what else is in the waters around Scotland that could fit a canine tooth so large. Any help is appreciated.

    Stroll in the Sunshine

    I went out hunting yesterday. It seems to me that Florida is in a drought and that water level are so low that they preclude the use of kayaks. So I decided to walk into the backwoods of Florida... pack as light as possible and carry a cellphone and lots of water. Walking takes up digging time and my results were few. A couple of small makos, 2 horse teeth, 2 gator teeth, a tapir cap, fish skull cap, a chunk of gator/tapir jaw with alveoli but no teeth, and a handful of small shark teeth. Two items encouraged me to post today. On my walk, I happened to spot a paw print. I had a small knife and a tire iron, so felt I was prepared for any eventuality. 6 months ago , I put up a 3 inch paw print that had claws and it was identified as a coyote that wandered under my house. This paw print seems bigger... This is the tire iron, distance between the bend and narrow part about 7 inches, if I subtract an inch from each side .... about 5 inches. This is the paw print any suggestions on what animal made the print appreciated. When only finding a few fossil, I search the sieve longer. I noted some thing about this fragment that makes me think it is a canine. Now, I do not think we'll be able to Identify but, this changes some of my mind on what the inside of a Canine might look like.... It can have an open core, like gator , whale , etc... It can have different layers, cementum, enamel, dentin I picked it up, because I thought I saw serrations inside the tooth...Look at that last photo below. What is that layer ...how crazy is that ? Crazy enough to want to discuss with you... maybe others can share odd things inside broken canine teeth

    ID Help Peace River FL

    Back out Tuesday for a nice day on the Peace River. Found the river running a little faster and deeper than the previous week. It was also very cloudy and had a greenish look to it. I went to a spot I had tried last year on my last visit for the season, when the river was running so fast it was sweeping just about everything right off the shovel as I tried to bring it up. Today was better and I found plenty of nice shark teeth (no megs), an armadillo scute, set of camelid teeth, gator teeth, a very small phalange, and the partial tooth I am asking for help with here. When I first pulled it from the sifter I thought partial whale tooth. I shortly decided this was not the case and researching further came to the conclusion it may be a partial Equus canine. Went in this direction after comparing it to a camelid canine @Harry Pristis, @Shellseekerand @Meganeura helped me with recently. This one has a thicker and rounder look to it. I found a similar looking tooth on a commercial website ID'd as a horse canine and thought it looked like a match. Opinion on ID would be appreciated. Here is the the specimen I found: Measurements - 40mm x 12mm x 9mm or 1 1/2" x 1/2" x 3/8" Here is the picture I found that I thought may be a match:

    What is this tooth

    My buddy found this tooth diving in venice beach. I’m trying to help him out to figure out what it is. I was thinking either dire wolf or jaguar but the enamel part of the tooth looks very long and possibly worn down. And I’m just confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Bear or Dire Wolf canine?

    So I came across this canine on the internet. And in the comments it was being debated by the seller as a Dire Wolf canine, but multiple reactions said it's a bear canine. So I thought it might be interesting to post it here and know what it actually is. Florida find, 2'28 inch

    Can anyone identify this jaw?

    I found this lower right jaw bone exposed on the bed of a creek in north central florida. It appears to be from an extinct canine species, but I am unsure and figured someone on here probably has more knowledge than I do on what it could be. Measurements are 7 cm in height at the tallest point, almost 15 cm in length, and 1 cm in thickness. There is one molar missing, and the incisors at the front are missing as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Modern or fossil cat canine?

    This is described as a feline canine from the Pleistocene of Africa, 7cm long. Does that seem reasonable or does the fossil seem modern? And if it's a fossil, can anyone identify what animal it came from? Thanks.
  19. So found this today - my immediate thought was canine. Originally thought no enamel - but I brushed it, with a tooth brush - and it’s got white enamel. So… any help is appreciated! @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker After brushing:

    Payne Creek Canine ID

    Just found this canine - really bad at IDing canines, and it’s decently worn. My only guess is Tapir? It’s about 30-35mm by the looks of it.

    Bone Valley canine id

    Visited the Bone Valley fossil farm in Bowling Green Florida and besides finding a bunch of absolutely beautiful sharks teeth pulled this pretty much pristine mammal canine tooth out of the matrix. It is approximately 7.9cm in length. Have my ideas on the id but would like to hear from the experts - many thanks ! Sorry about the tape measure - it's all I have available at the moment

    Summer travels

    I went on a fossil hunting trip a few weeks ago but have not had the time to post it until now. It was a very successful trip, I got my first complete tapir teeth some nice deer teeth,and a few other strange fossils. Any ID help is appreciated. sorry about the picture quality, my camera is not the best.1. bobcat, maybe raccoon tooth, it looks predatory, but it's pretty small.2. other strange tooth and fragment that appears to be from a similar animal.3. predator, maybe worn Coyote, not much of an enamel pattern. 4. Rodent, any chance of a specific species?5. Weird thing that appears to have enamel.6. claw core, maybe tortoise.7. vertabre, gator maybe?

    Predator tooth?

    I found this tooth around what I think was one of my first post on the forum (not very long ago). When I found it I had not tried identifying many predator teeth and did not realize how common the shape was and concluded it was dire wolf, but now I believe that this is not true due to size and rarity of these teeth. I believe it is probably something smaller, maybe feline, raccoon, or something of that sort, any help?

    A Canine or Tusk

    One of the enjoyable things of this hobby is friends sending me photos of their finds. Usually I try to post my own fossils, because I have them in hand and take additional photos and measure, etc etc. This one arrived today, a land find from a pit in Bone Valley.. I asked for additional photos and measurements, but felt I could show you the photo I have and request input. To me, it looks to be 3-4 inches and has some distinctive markings. I have a guess, but will wait on yours.. Jack
