Hi guys, I'm new here! I just wanted to ask if the burn test is always reliable. A year ago I found a tooth near a creek, it's certainly bovid but I still can't understand if it's a modern one or prehistoric/Pleistocene. I've burnt it and it doesn't smell like burnt hair, but at the same time it kinda smells weird. So does the burn test always says the truth?

Ok I know I'm not even in the same league as most of you here as to your knowledge of fossils etc.... Standing outside in the rain looking through the window ..... Though I know there's no stupid questions ! I really have some questions about how people can identify a dinosaur's tooth as to which species & not confusing them for another species, be it adult vs juvenile dinosaurs. - Aside from riping the tooth out from a skull - where's your proof it was THIS species ? - Then it brings up, why would you take a tooth out of a skull section, which if left the tooth in skull section would bring more $$$$ - Also brings up the tooth root issue, the root is a soft membrane. How did this root & tooth survive but not the skull jaw section ? I know stranger things can happen. - There's a lot of teeth for sale but not a lot skull/ jaw sections....why is that ? - Is it possible people mistake a juvenile tooth of this species for a adult tooth of this species, or mistake this adult tooth for a juvenile tooth of this species that's of another species ? - Seems like only certain species of teeth are up for sale, ok well what happened to all the other dinosaur species......they no longer had teeth or what ? is it name the tooth that brings $$$ - thousands of dinosaurs if not maybe a million, yet only handful of species are up for sale normally......makes me wonder..... In short where's the proof that tooth is from that species, & please explain to me why there's a tooth & root but no skull/ jaw section !

Ciao, puoi classificarmi questi denti di squalo, sono fossili delle cave di fosfato di Oued-Zem in Marocco, grazie. (Hi, can you classify for me these shark teeth, they are fossils from the phosphate quarries of Oued-Zem in Morocco, thanks.)

hi guys, here are few findings from my very first trips to big brook, nj. I have little knowledge about fossil but picked them up simply because I thought they are all tooth-shaped. It was great experience, a lot of fun, and I would appreciate if someone can help me to identufy the findings are fossil or normal stones. thanks!

I’m going to see about picking up another fossil from a nice gentleman I dealed with the other night. He Has what looks like the lower jaw to a fish with narrow pointed teeth. It’s slightly curved and in 3 pieces. Two of the pieces match one does not. Piece only about 6-7” long and teeth about 14”-1/2” tall. Won’t have it in hand till later tonight. Here’s what I need help with, he couldn’t spell the name but could pronounce it it started with PYU payu sounded like packacu something or another. Any idea what fish it could be? Not much to go on but would recognize it if I saw the spelling and the fish.

I found this fish jaw many years ago at the Westmoreland State Park bluffs. At the time I got an ID that I now think is incorrect. I'd appreciate it if any of you guys can identify it and if possible the Genus and species....ha ha.

Aloha, here is the best of my collection. Since I moved together with my girlfriend, only the small and nice samples are on display, one showcase out of three. Looking forward to the day when we will have some more space. So it is a crowded mix of fossils, minerals, recent beachfinds and mosty selfmade or altered skeleton models. Sadly, only a small percentage of my fossils is selffound, although nearly all of the beach stuff is. There is the "poultry showcase", dedicated to Birds and pterosaurs (Parrot skull is a replica of course, as is the Pterosaur plate regrettably) The big showcase is a composite image because I could not get all into one foto. The whales you may know from the Palaeorecreation thread. Best Regards, J

Treasure trove of Mississippian Sharks found in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky!
Fossildude19 posted a topic in Fossil News
Scientists have found a treasure trove of Mississippian shark fossils in Mammoth cave, Kentucky. ARTICLE HERE. Quote: "Based on what was exposed in the cave wall, Hodnett said the find includes a lower jaw, skull cartilage and several teeth. Hodnett determined the shark belonged to a species called "Saivodus striatus" from the Late Mississippian period, about 330 to 340 million years ago. @Archie "More than 100 individual specimens have been discovered during the project. Hodnett said teeth and dorsal fins of other shark species are also exposed in the cave ceiling and walls. "We've just scratched the surface," Hodnett said. "But already it's showing that Mammoth Cave has a rich fossil shark record." Pictures from article:

Hey Everyone. I'm headed over to the Tuscaloosa area specifically to hunt some of the chalk banks along the Tombigbee. Instead of going on a wild goose chase, I was wondering if anyone knew of some spots around there where they had luck with shark and mosasaur teeth. Preferably, I am looking for spots that are not considered private property or hunting grounds. Thanks for the input!

Are these teeth from a shell crusher shark like the Ptychodus? Found in Greene county Alabama creek bed

Looking to identify this beach find! A tooth perhaps?
HaidaGwaiiBeachFinds posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi All! I’m new, and so very grateful for this group. I often find fossils, cool rocks and gems on my walks and it kills me to not know what they are! Take this one for instance- what is it? It looks and feels like a ginormous tooth (large as in bigger than a humans). However, I’d love to be proved wrong all in the name of solving this mystery. Thanks! Glad I came here.

Found at Abbey wood. Sand shark?

Had nothing else to do yesterday so went to a spot on the Potomac. Found bunch of teeth and some nice bone. Ones a rather large piece about 6 inches long and 5 wide. Another nice half of a vert that's broken. Fav two are the porpoise teeth? Water was awfully cold and the wind wasn't cooperating so only looked for a hour. Then had to get back in truck and warm up. Temps near water was 45 and inland it was 59. Quite the difference and wasn't dressed for that. Not sure what the big piece of bone is from or the vert? Anyway, nothing great just better than doing nothing on a Saturday!

Why can I only find shark teeth and vertebrae
FossilizedFanatic posted a topic in Questions & Answers
How come I can find (for example in Antwerp) mostly shark teeth and vertebrae and never another part of a shark? -
Can anyone tell me what creatures these teeth might have belonged to? We found them in New Mexico and have been told they’re from the Cretaceous period. Thanks!

Hey everyone. I have recently gotten my family into the study of paleontology, but so far, we've only bought fossils online. i.e fossilera. For spring break planning on going Sharks teeth hunting in Summerville South Carolina and are looking for good spots to find sharks teeth and other things. Does anyone here have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Found in a land spot not too far from North Charleston. Only chunks but I’m still happy with them. Wondering if this is a meg tooth or another shark, also wondering if it’s possible age based on size. Serration on the side.

These were found river and creek side in Charleston, SC. I believe the first three are teeth and the last two are bones. I’m suspecting mammal on most if not all, I’ll put my guesses with them. 1. Not sure what these are from but appears to be a jawbone with teeth if I had to guess. 4cm x 2cm 2. The closest thing I can place this to is a tapir, but I’m not sure which end attached to the root and which was the chewing surface. I think the blurrier photo (#2) may show the chewing surface at top left. May not be a tooth at all but it really looks like it to me. 4cm x 2cm continued in next post due to image sizing

Ok here’s a question that’s been bugging me. If dinosaurs were so big why are all the teeth you see for sale so little with most being under 1”? You see T Rex teeth and there all under a inch. i would think they have teeth like a banana.

Found a couple interesting pieces today in North Carolina at Greens Mill Run. I'm thinking juvenile megalodon for the tooth but could be wrong, and not sure what the other piece is. Maybe some type of shell? Any ideas?
