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!

Hello, I saw this tooth of a dinosaur that I've never heard of, "Losillasaurus", for sale today. I wanted to ask, if its really one, or just another missidentified Niger tooth, it really looks like one. According to the desIt was found in the "Villar del Arzobismo" formation, Valencia, Spain, which makes me question the ID even more, because Spain banned the export of dinosaur fossils, I think ? I might be wrong, any info for that is also appreciated. Thanks if someone knows, I bet im not the only one that has never heard of this sauropod dinosaur before 😅 Its around 3.4 cm in length. Edit : not even Google or Wikipedia knew what in the world this is, is the name a synonym, or completly made up to trick unlucky collectors into buying it (its insanely expensive !!!) ? Did this sauropod even exist, is there any proof ? Edit 2.0 : I've misspelled the name, thats why

Hello, I found a cute little tooth a bit back searching through matrix from Purse State park and with the help of @Tidgy's Dad I think we have it figured out. I’m looking to see the opinions of others. We think it’s from Delpitoscyllium africanum. Thank you in advance for any assistance that can be given.

Below is the tooth of a dyrosaurid, some of which you may recognise from this thread here. I was originally under the impression that dyrosaurid teeth, like many crocodile teeth, were (unfortunately) non-diagnostic, but it appears that @Anomotodon was able to compile a list of dyrosaurid crocodiles known from the phosphates of the Ouled Abdoun Basin, and the morphology of their teeth, so I wondered if it might be possible to identify mine. Given the fact that my tooth has two carinae, and "medial/lingual curvature with a convex labial" (@pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon's word, not mine) and no striations, I personally believe this tooth to be that of a Chenanisuchus, but I'm no expert on the matter. Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel

This incisor tooth was mixed with some bison specimens from a peat bog site found in the early 80s in Sherburn County, Minnesota. The specimen catalog is long lost. Pollen analysis at the time dated the site to between 5000 and 10000 years old. The specimens were thought to be washed into the site in a flood event.

I found this fossil (?) at a local thrift store with a newspaper clipping taped to it about Tyrannosaurus Rex, with the implication that this is either a tooth or a claw. I haven't go a clue whether it is real or a fake. It is about 5" long and about 3" wide at the base. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anything wrong about this Spinosaurus tooth ?
Brevicollis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I saw this Spinosaurus tooth on auction today and wondered If its real or fake. I love the clean root on it and the sice, but im not sure about the tip tho. Looks "painted" and if it was broken off once and reglued back later. Whats your overall opinion on this tooth ? Sice 11 cm It was found in the Kemkem beds, morocco. @Phos_01, @FB003, and @North -
I found this fragment of jaw from what I believe is a beaver yesterday at Big Brook in New Jersey. Could it be pleistocene or just iron stained modern bone?

Hello all, I know the ID of teeth from Morocco/Niger is very difficult but this one has been bugging me since I pulled the trigger on it. I'm happy to call it Theropod Indet but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the shape of this tooth is reminiscent of a specific theropod family because the shape is so skinny compared to normal theropod teeth and this was allegedly from Niger. I tried to include as many and as clean photos as possible. A specific genus isn't necessary but if anyone has any idea which family this tooth is from, I'll be very grateful. It measures 2.25" straightline.

Hello fellow fossil hunters! This is my first post here and I came here for some expertise on identifying a tooth I found recently on a trip to Portugal. I found it at a beach in the Algarve region. I read that locally they have mako sharks and blue sharks but I’m not sure what animal it is from. Since this is my first (maybe) fossil find. I appreciate any guesses for ID-ing this tooth, thanks in advance! 🙏😁

Mammal incisor (?) Found at Big Brook, New Jersey - any chance it's pleistocene?
TRexEliot posted a topic in Fossil ID
I just found this earlier today. It's so hard for me to judge age on mammal material in Big Brook because it stains so quickly... -
Walked a sandbar today and found this fossilized tooth with part of jaw. Found on Kaw ( Kansas River ) sandbank Eastern Kansas. Jaw part is completely vitreous ( non absorbent/ non porous ) and tooth has begun to agatize. Not sure on I.D. … possibly Camelid?

Nebraska - South Platte River Gravel Piles - Ivory Fragments?
Lechuguilla posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, i'm new to the Forum. I have collected these fragments in the South Platte River Valley out of a gravel pile from a sandpit in West-Central Nebraska just South of the Sandhills. they were collected at different times of sand production, so probably not all from the same original animal. They are relatively dense/heavy with a slight patina on the convex surface. (one of the fragments is rounded from the river.) I was thinking it is enamel from a tooth. Although the largest fragment is 4.5" long, so maybe they could be ivory? Coworkers have also talked about finding "tortoise shells" in other piles, so maybe that is what they are... I thought I would post these and see if anyone has any thoughts? Thank you-

First post to the forum, been avidly browsing for some time having been collecting fossils for some years. Not sure whether I've just found a funky rock or if it might be a claw or tooth. Found near Whitby. Anyone able to advise please.

I recently saw this carnivorous mammal tooth from the Brule Formation for sale. It is labelled as being that of a Hesperocyon gregarius, but what little I know of carnivorous mammal dentition leads me to believe that the tooth could in fact come from a Hyaenodon. As always, I've decided I'm going to play it safe and ask someone of greater expertise to verify this. It is my understanding that @jpc, @Randyw and @ParkerPaleo are all Brule Formation specialists, so I will take the liberty of "@ing" you all in. Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel
