These are various shark teeth from the north sulfur river in ladonia, tx of varying completeness. I'm not sure of the species of the fragments, but the one with most of the root is definitely pseudocorax granti.

Hello, I joined this group today so that I might have a recent find identified. My name is Larry Atkins and I'm a meteorite hunter from Michigan and I spend a lot of time in Arizona looking for space rocks. I find a lot of different things out there and yesterday I found an interesting cluster of fossil bone and teeth. Last spring, in the same wash, I found a partial skeleton of a huge tortoise. The Arizona Museum of Natural History was supposed to dig it up but they never got around to it and the monsoons have apparently washed it away! So disappointing. Here's an in-situ of yesterday's find. This is in Pinal county AZ. Thanks! Larry

Are any of those mammoth "fossils" around actually fossils? Wouldn't they still be natural bone? I know that the remains found in colder northern area, the remains are still original dead tissue, because they're regularly found with soft tissue and hair, but they're found other places too, along with all other animals from the more recent periods, where freezing isn't a factor, but Is there even enough time for fossilization to occur for those animals? Is there a general point in, or period of time, after which it's just not old enough for fossilization to occur? I know any such point, or period, would vary depending on the regions environmental conditions, but I would imagine there are places where there is such a point before which geologically, remains are fossilized, and after which remains are still actual bone.

Just a simple question by a newbie ..... Just started this new hobby and found my first couple of teeth. Need some directions about how to identify. Books, websites, forum threads etc. Just a little push in the right direction and I'll get moving ....

Today I went for my first "serious" (ahum) shark teeth hunt. Over the last few weeks I was keeping my eyes open while walking the beaches of Sullivans Island and Isle of Palms with my wife, but today it was "game on". Left the house at 8:00AM and drove to Folly Beach as I had been reading that of the beaches closes to me that was the best to look for teeth. Weather was nasty, cold and windy. Tide was still high but outgoing. Hardly anybody on the beach. Spent approximately 3 hours without finding anything. I was mainly looking in the accumulations of shells, seaweed, rocks, pottery higher up the beach. Saw one person picking up things at the waterline and decided to ask her what/how she was doing. We had a friendly conversation. I explained that it was my first time. She showed me a handful of small teeth that she found by looking for them as the shallow waves are rolling ashore. I decided that, as I had nothing to lose, to follow her method/advice and started to look close to the waterline as well. I do not think that more than 5 minutes passed before I found MY FIRST TOOTH EVER !! I know that compared with what others here report it is not much, but for me it meant that I had succeeded in my quest. Shortly after, I found a second one, but at that point the nasty conditions were taking their toll and I decided to call it a day. I will be back.

Hi, just found this forum. I am completely new to this. Seen quite a few folks in my area with nice shark teeth finds and started recently to look for the during walks on the beaches of Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms close to our house. Was (am) getting frustrated as I have not found a single one yet . Hence, my quest for information on "how to" and as a result ended up with links to this forum. I have always been fascinated by fossils and historic finds of all nature and would like to dive deeper (no pun intended) into it. I have a bay boat and am able to get to get to places in creeks, rivers, and remote beaches where others may not be able to get to. I have already read some good suggestions and will hopefully soon be able to post my first finds.

Real Mosasaur Teeth and Bones?
FossilsandScience posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone, I saw this fossil being sold and I think I am going to buy it, but I don’t know if it’s real or fake. It is two rooted Mosasaur teeth with extra jaws and bones (I contacted the seller, who told me they were also probably Mosasaur bones). It was found in Phosphate Deposits, in Khourigba, Morocco. Please help!

Three years ago I found these fossils at Myrtle Beach and need help identifying them. The one I believe is a small skull of something and the three together I believe are teeth. Pics

I have recently been given a number of shark teeth by a relative who used to collect. I would appreciate any help that members might be able to offer. I will post 3 photos. On the first photo am assuming the 4 on the left are Sand Tiger and the middle bottom 2 are Odotus? Unsure about the rest.

Suchomimus Teeth?
FossilsandScience posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone, Here is a photo of two suchomimus teeth that I might buy, but I was wondering if they were real. These are the only photos I have. I trust the seller who is selling them, but I always like to make sure. They were found in Niger. Please help! Thanks!

Okay, so I have a couple of fossils in my collection, in which I'd like some more opinions on. First, I bought this un-identified dinosaur chevron bone. It is from the Kem Kem beds, Morocco.

I recently started poking around in a few different microfossil matrix packs & have been having fun... aching neck & back, but fun. Anywho, I just started with some from the Winchell fm out of Brownwood Texas, Pennsylvanian period. Listed as having crinoid stems (check), Fusilinids (check) & coral (check). I found a tiny little thing that looked like an odd shaped agate, sort of pinkish yellow in color, then a 2nd, 3rd.. I've found 8 of them so far, in just the 1st 2 teaspoons of matrix (I've got 8 oz of it). Just slightly over a mm in size. I'm thinking fish teeth, but not sure. Found this other thing that I'm not sure on as well. 1/2 cm in length & looks like a mini saw blade (sort of). I'm including a couple pics of it as well. All 3 pis are at 50x magnification.

These pics aren't the best. I forgot to put a scale object in the photo. I hurriedly decided to shoot these because the setting sun was providing some good lighting. This piece is small, about 1.5 inches in overall length. There is an alligator scute in the background for rough approx. size comparison. I am not sure if this is fossilized, but the teeth look familiar to me. Is this a juvenile of something larger? Thanks! (Peace River, Florida, Bone Valley formation, Polk county, Hawthorn group)

My fossils collection with 3D printed drawer compartments
adriano posted a topic in Member Collections
I finally completed the reorder of my collection of fossils and minerals. It is a wooden hexagonal display cabinet of several wood/glass shelf; in the pictures attached I only show some of them. I 3D printed more than 20 custom drawer compartments for the smallest specimens. I decided to go for a modular design, so I can adapt every compartment to the specimen. As printing material, I used a "wood PLA" filament 3D printed with 1 mm nozzle on the Alfawise U20 3D printer. LINK I finally added a strip LED inside the cabinet door and powered it via a USB power-bank - so it is fully wireless. In this picture you can see some of my recent purchases: Two Sinosauridae indet. teeth from Kem Kem One Acheroraptor tooth from Hell Creek formation, Powder River Co., Montana Some Mosasaurus teeth from Kem Kem One Pterosaurs tooth from Kem Kem A piece of Rhinocerontidae indet. jaw from South Dakota Some ammonites, shark teeth, a Flexicalymene ouzregui, a couple of echinoids (I found the white one in a brick!); the Velociraptor skull is 3D printed as well. This is the other side. The big sand echinoid was also found by me in a brick! On the right there's a nice fossil coral: I never seen something similar, please let me know if you know it's name. Three fossil fishes and a nice ammonites cluster with some quartz in the background. At the end, some minerals... Now I only have to finish the cataloging of all specimen. I already finished with fossils, now I have to start with minerals - it will be very looong! What do you think? Do you like it? Ciao!

I only started collecting fossils about a year ago. I happened to just type in my favorite dinosaurs name into feebay on a whim. And I saw a fossil from an actual Deinonychus that I could own.... The addiction began, lol. A year later it's still a meager collection, especially being on a budget. But I wanted to share my finds thus far from the past year. A special thank you to @mburkett who ended my year long daily hunt for a deinonychus tooth.
