Hey Everyone! I very recently started collecting dinosaur and shark teeth and thought I’d share with you the beginnings of a hopefully great collection like @Jaimin013‘s, who suggested I show these. Hope you enjoy! Some of the teeth include: Nanotyrannus/ Trex tooth tip Mosasur tooth Hell Creek Raptor Edmontasaurus Spinosaurus Possible Megalodon Other shark teeth, mako, tiger, snaggletooth, etc.

Hi to all here , I have been a fossil & Indian artifact collector/hunter for 60 years in the Midwest USA and look forward to learning a lot more about identification from this site. Being retired gives me lots of time to crack rocks. Hope to make friends and maybe get some hunting buddies. Thanks for letting me join and blessings to all. Stenopolis

Shark Teeth Caloosahatchee Formation Florida Pliocene/Pleistocene
alej9582 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Guys, In 4 days of sifting in this locality (Caloosahatchee River/Fisheating Branch) I have only found 2 shark teeth, in reality I didn't expect to find any at all as it seems to have been amphibian/mammal/mollusk land which points to a lacustrine environment. So at some point the area must have been a shallow see as well but there is no way to know age difference. Anyhow here are the two specimens I found. Both small in size (nursery area?). There is a lot of info on shark teeth around but I am having difficult with this two guys. Any thoughts? Thanks, Alex -
Nanotyrannus-Tyrannosaurus transitional teeth.
Miocene_Mason posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
We were having a discussion on the validity of Nanotyrannus Here, and I have a question for all you theropod tooth collectors. Many say that Nanotyrannus lancensis is a adolescent Tyrannosaurus rex. Now some here have many teeth from both. Nanotyrannus has gracile, thinner teeth, whereas tyrannosaurus has robust, thick teeth. If N. Lancensis is a juvenile form, than we should expect to see a transition in teeth from slender to thick. In other words, a spectrum of teeth. Do any of you collectors have this represented in your collection? Or a transitional tooth? Please do post pictures. Now it is possible that there is one day a sudden change from one form to the other, but I’ve not seen anything to indicate that to be the case (if you do please share it). I will I’ll add I don’t have any of either teeth, and this is purely to satisfy my curiosity.- 20 replies

Spinosaurus tooth - real, not composite?
Chelasmosaurus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I came across this fossil Spinosaurus tooth - at least it looks like a real Spinosaurus from what I can tell, but I'm not an expert ... hence my visit here I'm also wondering if it's a single tooth or multiple specimens glued together. I'm worried about the differences in color between the top half and bottom half, but the shape seems to line up pretty nicely, so I'm just not sure. So, is this a real Spinosaurus tooth? And is it a single fossil or a composite? Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks- 3 replies

Possibility of Getting Abelisauridae Fossils
JurassicParkCarnotaurus posted a topic in Questions & Answers
My favorite dinosaur is the Carnotaurus (hence the name) and I would love to have a fossil of one but I am aware that they are nearly impossible to come by. I was wondering if any of it’s relatives fossils are more common or easier to obtain. Thanks in advance!- 17 replies

I recently obtained a mixed lot of Bull Canyon teeth, which is a formation I'm unfamiliar with. I was wondering if Coelophysis teeth have certain features that one can look for to confidently assign them to this taxon? Are there any other species commonly confused with Coelophysis? It seems many of the ones for sale online being sold as Coelophysis may not actually be. Any advice is welcomed!

In St George Utah a massive dinosaur track was discovered (and actually is probably all over the entire city). But the focus today is not on the spectacular tracks but the teeth. They had a few on display but I was told they found a lot, enough for a cabinet full. This is Early Jurassic. Here are a few example of a dilophosaurid type dinosaur Here is an example of smaller theropod.

I was down in Florida in January to see family, and visit old friends I haven’t seen in 20 years. While out for dinner I showed them some pictures of my sharks teeth, and also pointed out that some had restoration. One of the people in the group happened to be an artist and was very intrigued with the fine details in the restoration work and asked if I could send her some cheap teeth so she could play around. I sent her 10 teeth, this tooth is the tenth tooth she has ever handled or worked on, and I am quite amazed at the work. Here are pictures of the finished tooth, I will post the before picture shortly. All feedback would be greatly appreciated so I can give it to the artist to help her get better.

Can you find shark teeth on the east coast of australia?
FrostbyteFossils posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Is there anywhere to find shark teeth(or other fossils) on the east coast beaches of NSW, Australia? -
I alreay posted my little hunt in Antwerp here. Beside that I also hunted on a few beaches near Cadzand. Its quite a popular location and there are many people, who are looking for shark teeth. But the quality of the shark teeth isnt that good compared to land sites. Here are some pictures of the beaches: I was mainly in Cadzand directly, in the area of Nieuwvliet but also on a beach near Vlissingen. Here is a picture of the beach near Vlissingen (De Kaloot): Some "in situ" pictures: + Doesnt look too bad Here is my haul: This was the biggest one with a length of 4 cm from Cadzand: I was very happy about this one: A 2.5 cm long Notorynchus primigenius I found it at the "Zwarte Polder" (near Cadzand) One of the best non-tooth-find was this ear bone of a dolphin: (about 3 cm long) My find werent that good but the season wasnt ideal. (too hot, too many people, not much wind ...) Nevertheless I am satisfied with my finds and hopefully next year I can find even more things Thanks for watching!

I've had these shark teeth for probably 30 years. I don't know where they came from, they're just one of those things I've had since I can remember. Are they fossils or modern? The black appearance makes me think fossil, but I don't know anything about shark teeth at all. If they're fossils, I'll add them to my daughter's collection! I numbered them in the picture in case anyone had a comment about any of them, but I don't expect you all to identify each and every one. My own comments: I will say that number 19 is very thick - that doesn't come across in the picture. Number 25 is the only one with serrations, as far as I can tell. I decided number 1 was a ray tooth.

Good time at the North Sulphur River in Ladonia, Texas this weekend. Here are some of the things we found! I’m curious about the gray ammonite (bottom right). I’ve attached a few photos at the end (first two photos) to see if any of you know what the black line is running through it at the bottom. It reminds me of the vein in a shrimp!

Hi Everyone, I suddenly have a work trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota coming up next week and I'd like to get out and collect some fossils along the way. I'm driving from Denver to Lead, SD and will be driving north on HW 85 and 18 through Newcastle. I'd be really happy to get a few stops in along the way and any potential information would really be great. Unfortunately, I won't have a ton of time to be able to stop and really dig, so some road cuts or target formations would be super helpful for surface collecting. I'm open to every type of fossil. I know there's a lot of fossils in that section of the state so I'm looking forward to hopefully finding some decent stuff! Thanks! Caleb

Hi everyone, I moved to Clearwater a while ago but I work right between Bradenton and Sarasota. I’d like to start doing some little creek hunts or similar after work but I have been having trouble finding good locations. If you can help point me in a the right direction I would really appreciate it. Or, if you are local and would like to join me that would be great as well! Thanks in advance

I have a few different fossils I was hoping to get some help identifying. I’m brand new to collecting/hunting for fossils. If any other pictures are needed I’ll try to get the best ones possible!! These first teeth I found in Naples, Florida. I came across them by a river there. The second set of pictures is from the Montour Preserve in Danville, Pa.

Hiya I got a bunch of Eocene shark teeth from Khouribga, Morocco and I've tried a tentative ID using the highly scientific tool of Google, but I'd like your opinions. The scale is in centimeters. First photo: Odontaspis sp. (substriata?), anterior to the left, lateral to the right Second photo: Striatolamna sp. (macrota?) Thanks in advance

Teeth and Vertebra from Morocco
Abstraktum posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everybody, as I mentioned in my Welcome Topic, I'm new to this whole topic but would like to start my own little fossile collection. In Europe (I live in Germany) there are a lot of sellers with teeth and bones from KemKem / Morocco since it's just over the mediterranean sea. So i thought that it would be the easiest way to start with the most generic fossils out there. Here are some teeth and a vertebra from Carchaodontosaurus and Spinosaurus that look interessting to me. Every item is described as not repaired or fabricated. With some of them I'm really not sure. They are from different sellers. I can't provide any more or better pictures. These are the only pictures available. Pictures are all from the different sellers. I cut away their names. Thank you so much for any information and help you can give me. Carcharodontosaurus Tooth #1, length 2.44 in Carcharodontosaurus Tooth #2, length 1.85 in Carcharodontosaurus Tooth #3, length 1.67 in Carcharodontosaurus Tooth #4, length 1.77 in Spinosaurus Tooth #1, length 3.10 in Spinosaurus Tooth #2, length 3.94 in Spinosaurid Vertebra, length 2.83 in I'm really not sure what to think about this one. Can anyone really tell if this is from a Spinosaurid or is it just some unidentified bone? -
