This was picked up on a beach of the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Town among washed up gravel where I often find fossilized Mako and Great White shark teeth from the miocene epoch. It measures 4.2cm in lenth. Any response will be appreciated. Thank You.

This was washed up by the sea, where shark teeth, pieces of bone, sperm whale teeth, whale inner ear bones and several other common vertebrate fossils can be seen. Location is South Africa, West Coast. Does anybody know the correct I.D. for this particular piece? I thought I had I.D.'d it but i'm not convinced any more. Thanking you in advance.

Please help wit ID - tooth or tusk and if not elephant/mammoth, who did it belong to?
hahnewald posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello to All. Any help and input on a correct ID will be awesome. Spotted on the high tide line amongst shell and other debris. The location has seen significant fluctuations in sea levels and has produced Pleistocene material, such as horse teeth, mammoth teeth, even Rhino and Hippo teeth but also Miocene fossils like Megalodon teeth, cetacean teeth and inner ear periotic bones as well as bulla, Great White and Mako shark teeth, just to name a few. All washed ashore by tidal movement. The specimen in question was photographed alongside a horse incisor and a mammoth tooth fragment. Its cross section seems to show cross hatching patterns of ivory but I fail to see how it can be part of elephant or mammoth tusk. It measures 5 cm in length and 1,1 cm at its widest point. Would love to hear from the TFF experts. Thanks a lot.- 5 replies

Late Cretaceous marine sites in China
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hey Would anyone know of Late Cretaceous fossil sites in China that are similar to 'typical' Late Cretaceous marine sites in Europe/North America? Like places where one can find ammonites, sea urchins, shark teeth and mosasaur fossils... Thanks for any help! Christian -

Any help with an I.D. of the object in the pics will be greatly appreciated. Was collected in the surf in Cape Town, South Africa, where I often pick up fossilized shark teeth, horse teeth, bone fragments, earbones, etc. Have not found any similar object before. Thanks.
