You are probably aware that @DirtyHippie came to Brownsville, found an extremely productive likely Miocene location and promptly invited a number of TFF members to join in the excitement. You can read about it and see many of the finds here.. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/129917-peace-river-tributaries-part-ii-hemi-heaven-continued/ I joined last Sunday and managed to find a dolphin Bulla that @Boesse identified as Eurhinodelphis. In his trip report, Brian had 9 Dolphin and I am interested in seeing if I can track down, possible IDs... In this case, I am asking TFF experts familiar with Dolphin fossils in Calvert Cliffs or Lee Creek to comment on finding or not finding similar looking teeth. I'm using Brian's group shot posted in the thread above So , the first... I found something similar, not as pretty... #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 These teeth are all approximately the same size 30 to 50 mm. I realize that I am reaching with somewhat minimal info. I am looking for leads... If you can ID a tooth, GREAT, but if not tell me if anything similar occurs in your hunting areas... I am looking for Genus rather than species on a few or many. None of us are sure that #4 is a tooth... @hemipristis @siteseer @sixgill pete @Harry Pristis @Al Dente

Hi everyone! I recently acquired some dolphin & shark teeth, but they weren't ID'd so I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me out if possible. The first are a set of small dolphin teeth found in Hoevenen, Antwerp in Belgium (Miocene, 15 - 10 mya) And I was wondering if they could be ID'd to down to genus? I've read Eurhinodelphis is a common find and that there are quite a few more named and unnamed species to be found there. The other fossils that I hoped to be ID'd are 5 tiny shark teeth from Oosterzele (Lede formation), Belgium (Eocenen, Lutetian, approx. 44 million years old) I've searched this website as they has a database with I believe all the species found there, but I am not confident and skilled enough to ID them properly. http://users.skynet.be/belgiansharkteeth/Lede formation/Oosterzele set.html My best guesses are that the first 3 teeth belong to the same species and the most common at Oosterzele, which are worn down Otodus auriculatus teeth. As for the other teeth I don't really know, so I really would appreciate some help and input. Thanks in advance!

This little eurhinodelphis tooth has been in my collection for a while and I haven't been able to put a species ID on it. I can't find much information on the genus, all I know is it's got two species both mentioned in the title. Are there any cetacean enthusiasts that can help me out? The whole tooth is about 3/4 inch long, my only locality information is Belgium.
