Is this a modern pig tooth or a peccary tooth? I found it in Montgomery, Alabama, where Pleistocene fossils have been found.

I have some Gansu fossils from the Linxia Basin, but I wasn't 100% sure on ID. The teeth were sold as Entelodont molars, and my current assumption is that they belong to Paraentelodon macrognathus from the Oligocene deposits in the Linxia Basin. From what I've read, they are similar to Daeodon, at least size wise. I think the formation would be the Jiaozigou Formation? But I'm not entirely sure. The Chleuastochoerus jaw, i have no idea. I think there are 2 species present in the Linxia Basin, and I don't know if it's possible to ID them down to species level without more specific provenance. That said, I honestly don't know anything about this animal, aside from it being a prehistoric pig. I know the fang had some glue on it when I put some acetone on it during prep, so it's probably repaired. The back side had big globs of glue that turned pretty nasty in acetone, but fortunately, there was nothing on the jaw itself, and I easily dug the teeth hidden inside the matrix. Not really sure if I did a great job though since I don't prep that often.

Hey y'all! Was wondering if I could get some help ID'ing this tooth that I found in Post Oak Creek this evening. I asked the Dallas Paleo Group on FB and a couple of people said it looked maybe human (also pig), but I am not that lucky lol (not that I am saying they are wrong or that I don't value their ID! I don't know enough on the subject to draw a conclusion) I thought I would come here for some second opinions <3 Please ignore the dime. And thank you in advance. I fully expect it to be a deer or cow or something xD (I only just posted in the FB group about an hour ago so the discussion is still going)

Hello! i recently found a small, broken mammal molar. The occlusal surface is worn flat partially, this maybe difficult to see from the photos, it seems small to be an older pig, but pig was my first guess. If that is correct I guess it would most likely not be a “fossil”, although it seems to have some qualities consistent with mineralization. Is it conceivably human, about the same size and in better shape than some of mine! Very curious find for me and probably obvious for some members. thanks for your time!

Hello I’m posting this for my dad, he bought this piece years ago and he’s having trouble remembering what it is. He says he thinks he got a pig bone ( maybe a hell pig), I’ve also been told it could be a turtle from a friend? It has some nice transition colours and could be a leg or arm bone? Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Hi all! I'm hoping for some insight. I found two mammal teeth at GMR today and I am not 100% sure what they are. I was thinking peccary or deer. Assistance is appreciated.

I would love input as to what this tooth may be. Found in the St. John's river (actually my toes found it). The folds and whatnot just piqued my curiosity as I have never seen a tooth like this. It's small and flat and I can only guess it came from a mammal. Any help is greatly appreciated.
