Hello everyone ! I hope you're doing well ! first of all I apologize for my English I have to use a translator. Here I found an old box containing fossils from Kem Kem, in a flea market. There are a lot of spinosaur, crocodile and onchopristis teeth but there are a few pieces where I have a little doubt. Could you help me ?

Hello again! Went on my first planned fossil hunting trip with a local club, this was to Stratford Cliffs. And I got to say, I will be back again for sure. What an incredible opportunity this was, on a day that could not have been any better for fossil hunting. This was a refreshing pause to all of my Paleocene trips lately, as much as I love finding Otodus Obliquus teeth. This trip was out of my comfort zone, but a welcomed one! It starts out with everyone meeting at a local point in the park, signing waivers, and then we are unleashed upon the beach! There were large Tiger and Bull shark teeth everywhere I looked it seemed! Always fun to pick up one every few feet, however after a bit I was beginning to feel left out in terms of the truly large tooth department, a bit of a bummer in the moment. An hour went by until I noticed the “hump” of a tooth barely showing above the sand, I flicked it with my finger and out pops this incredible 1.5 inch lower hemi! Truly phenomenal find and I felt I was finally on the board for what I was expecting. 5 hours out in the sun, each seemingly better than the last, as I collected teeth, finding 3 out of 4 of the hastalis along about 10-15 feet of beach, was surreal at times. To top off a tiresome, but fulfilling trip, I found the dolphin and sperm whale tooth on my walk back! A crazy variety of fossils were found, I didn’t expect to stay as long as I did, but I barely was able to scrape myself off the beach! This trip was TOTALLY worth the money and then some. I would highly recommend looking up some trips with local clubs in your area. While results may vary due to weather or tides, the experience in itself, going to a new beach or site, meeting new interesting people, and the possibility of finding something amazing is worth it!

Hello world I came across a formation of teeth while traveling through Morocco. (South of Erfud) Can anyone tell me what it might be? My guess is, that the teeths belong to a platecarpus ptychodon. Does anyone with more expertise agree? Can I bring this back to Switzerland from Morocco? Thank you very much and best regards Ismael

Unknown Fossilized Jawbone — found in North America — any ideas what it is?
007dudeman posted a topic in Fossil ID

The set of teeth was found in Hungary, in a pile of washed gravel, so not at the original deposit. Other teeth, mostly mammoth were known to be found at same location. Anyone has any idea what the animal might have been?

Hi All! Hoping to get some help identifying these fossilized teeth found at the Ladonia Fossil Park. At first I thought they may be from a Protosphyraena, but now I’m wondering if they may be too small for that to make sense. Any thoughts? also adding a photo of a shark tooth I found- just for fun!

Found this jaw piece with teeth in it. Found in southern Alberta from the Dinosaur Park formation. Looking at the end view you can see the teeth that were coming in next. Looking for an ID on the dinosaur this came from. I think hadrosaur but not fully confident in my ID.

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and thought I'd send over images of my theropod teeth plus one extremely impressive sauropod from Madagascar. Hope you like them! Paul

Hi all, I have a couple fossils I'm unsure about and would really appreciate some identification. These are from late Cretaceous at Big Brook Creek, New Jersey. 1. Croc Tooth? Enchodus Tooth? Something else? 2. I believe this is an Enchodus jaw fragment, missing the large fang at the end. Fairly large. Can someone confirm? 3. Same as above, jaw fragment missing the fang? 4. No clue. The ridges are repeated on both sides. 5. Is this a Hoploparia gabbi, also known as a clawed lobster? Seems too small, but I'm not sure. 6. Small Mammal or fish bone? Thank you in advance!

Well....I am really trying my best to figure out this Cretaceous Fish Tooth thing vs Reptile Tooth but I keep getting stumped, So here is another tooth that I am not sure if it's fish or maybe reptile? Plus a couple of shark teeth that I would like confirmation on my ID. PLUS a really cool little sawfish tooth that just seems....different...than the usual Ptychotrygon. Any thoughts are appreciated! Eagle Ford Formation 1. Size 1/4 inch 6 mm It does seem to have a carina ridge but it also has one side slightly sheared off. 2. I have tentatively ID'd the top tooth as Cretodus semplicatus due to the striations on the blade. The second tooth looks so similar, but no striations so is it Cretolamna appendiculata? Size 1/8 3mm 3. Is this a pathological Scapanorhynchus? 4. This tiny little sawfish tooth is one of the most beautiful things I've ever found. The little decor on it is amazing. Is it a Ptychogrygon triangularis which are so common in Post Oak Creek? Plus I just want to show off this amazing piece - I think it's a Gastropod Baniformis that has been entirely replace by crystals!

I’m not sure if this is considered a fossil or modern(I’m leaning towards modern) but I recently acquired this jaw and was wondering for a possible species ID, the original owner had no information. It’s roughly 8 inches long and 3 inches open

Collages of dinosaurs made with pictures of fossil teeth
BirdsAreDinosaurs posted a topic in Paleo Re-creations
This is a fun project that I have been working on for the past few months. Fossilized dinosaur teeth from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco showcase a wide variety of colours and patterns, caused by the varying conditions under which they were fossilized. To me, these colours and patterns are rather beautiful. Therefore I decided to ask a colleague of mine, who is a professional photographer, to take pictures of my small collection of teeth, so I could use these pictures to create collages of the original owners of the teeth. Using this approach, I made images of theropods from five different families. The animals on the images inhabited what is now known as Morocco about 100 million years ago. Here they are. The white bar next to the teeth represents 1 cm. This one I based on the species Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. This one is based on Rugops primus. I was inspired by the patterns of the Gila monster. Based on Deltadromeus agilis, which might be a noasaurid. As no skull of this dinosaur has ever been found, I am not sure that these are actually teeth of Deltadromeus. The other side of the smaller tooth shows an interesting white pattern, caused by plant roots growing on the fossil. Based on Carcharodontosaurus saharicus. I am not certain that these teeth are dromaeosaurid, but they do have characteristics that indicate that they might be. I love the pattern on the smaller tooth, which made it pretty easy for me to create a feathered look. I went ahead and got cards printed with the collages on the front. On the back I have included the family names and the specific teeth I used for each collage, at full size! It was a fun and refreshing experience to try a completely different approach to making illustrations.

I recently found a few shark teeth on the beaches of Ft. Pickens (Gulf Islands National Seashore) on the Gulf of Mexico. The tooth in the top left corner is from a Great White. The second from the right on the top row is from a Bull Shark (I think), and I believe the tooth on the bottom right corner is from a Lemon Shark. Can anyone help me identify the rest? Many thanks in advance!

So to piggy back on my ID post, I did a door knock and got permission to dig in a creek on an expansive cattle farm, this was a trip just to scope out the lay of the creek using my 👀 and it totally didn't disappoint. Deer Pedicle Tooth/Frag of unknown origin Fish Vert perhaps? Creek worn Horse tooth Holmesina scutes? Broken posterior meg Honker of a puffer plate

hi all, i came across this jaw was thinking some sort of polycotylid? it’s 50cm long which is huge just for the lower jaw. found in arkabou, morocco.

Thoughts on these guys? The darker one is about 2.4 centimeters and the lighter one is about 2.7. Both are from Morocco and labeled Thalassotitan atrox. I want to believe but I need some second opinions.

Hello, I'm sorting though microfossil matrix from the Permian Texas red beds. I'm not very familiar with this area, but understand that there are shark, reptile and amphibian teeth in it. Could you point me to a guide or other literature relevant to this location or help me to understand most of what I'm looking at? I've found specimens as large as 5 mm and the smallest can't be picked up with my tweezers. This matrix has been sorted under a cheap microscope, so I'm sorry the pictures are rather blurry. Thanks for the help. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11)

Hello all, After a family vac in Georgia I am driving up up the East Coast by myself. Looking for any tips on places to find Megalodon teeth . I've heard some creeks in South Carolina can be good . I obviously don't expect anyone to give away their honey hole but if anyone could point me in a direction of something recently productive I would be extremely appreciative. I've done the boat ride I Tybee several times with mild success but nothing great aside from having over 300 counted misquote bites during one visit. At any rate I like to adventure and have always wanted to find a quality Meg tooth. I'll be dropping the wife and kid at the savannah airport and heading north. I'm not married to SC if someone has any suggestions I'm open. Thanks to anyone in advance. Brandon
