Hi all, Curious to know what family you think this tooth likely came from. Could it be Allosaurid? From Isalo IIIb in the Mahajanga basin of Madagascar CH: About 27.5mm (estimating for tip) CBL (carina-to-carina): 14mm CBW (mesial side to distal side): 8.5mm Mesial Serration Density: 1.9mmm Distal Serration Density: 2.1/mm Thank you!!

Hey all, Curious to see if you have similar thoughts about this tooth. In terms of that possibility that it's not, in fact, from the Jurassic, I'm not sure I'm seeing the kind of denticle shape/hooking and marginal undulations of Majungasaurus. From Isalo IIIb in the Mahajanga basin of Madagascar CH: About 27.6mm CBL (carina-to-carina): 13.9mm CBW (mesial side to distal side): 7.5mm Mesial Serration Density: 2.2mmm Distal Serration Density: 1.9/mm Thank you!

Just want to share some recent finds from hunting a site given to me by a new friend from this forum. The whole reason for the post is to share the coolest patho tiger shark tooth I’ve ever found…but adding some others finds just for fun. In total, I found 500 shark teeth and 35 meg frags in one day. I don’t usually count them but there were so many that it seemed almost necessary this trip I didn’t find any whole kegs but the posterior one posted above is pretty close to being whole. Here are some of my favorite teeth from the day: I have found a lot of ivory pieces in the past but this chunk of tusk tip is a favorite find as well: (photos do not do it justice) Also found a few beat-up whale tooth chunks, best one pictured below: Biggest sting ray denticle I’ve found and some other smaller ones: Homlesina and glyptodon scutes: Partial tapir jaw with tooth roots: Ray denticles, fish scales, mouth plates: Ear bones (I think), dugong tooth, and my friend’s first ever Meg frags (she was SO excited)

This is a creek find from SW, MS. It was found amongst other types of teeth. It appears a cap (enamel) is missing from one tooth. Can anyone please identify it. Help is appreciated. Thanks in return.

Can anyone ID this tooth? It was found on a creek bed which had tumbled onto a formation of blue-clay. I had to remove a small portion of one end to verify its content. Found in SW, MS (04-06-23). Also, how can I get notifications? Is there a setting somewhere? Are there other means for the same?

How fake is this megalodon tooth?
Ronnie_cam posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Around six months ago, I began my beginner apprenticeship and collection on the megalodon. Like many others, I researched the potential size of these teeth and discovered that those above 6 inches (15.3cm) to a maximum of 7 inches (18cm) were quite rare. Therefore, I decided to stick to teeth below 5.5 inches (14cm) both to fit my budget and to avoid any potential mistakes. But I was intrigued if it was conceivable to find a gigantic tooth larger than 7 inches in length. I did save an online auction site listing from an Indonesian merchant who was auctioning off "monstrous" massive teeth. The vendor was auctioning off two of these gigantic sizes, one measuring 12 inches (30.5cm) and the other at 12.6 inches (32.1cm), of which I bookmarked the latter. I had entirely forgotten about the tooth and whether it had been sold several months ago because I am not an avid online auction site user. I became intrigued today and visited my bookmarked online auction site history to see that the 12.6 inch tooth had really sold for $$$$. (attached images). Therefore, I am curious about the authenticity of such a tooth. How realistic would it be in the first place, and how much of it is actually fake? Thank you

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out what this is? Found near Calvert county. Looks like the jawbone section of something? Any help would be great on this one. Just something odd I've never found before.

Hi guys, I found this partial tooth in Big Brook in Monmouth. It's very worn but my best guess from looking at the squished in bottom shape seems to point to it coming from a dino theropod. Possibly dryptosaurus? Please let me know your thoughts.

Hey everyone, new here, but hoping I’ve come to the right place! My family just got back from tooth hunting on shark tooth island and found these too and wondered how we could confirm what they are and if they’re just ordinary or could be extraordinary!

What you guys think about this tooth? For me- it's a Hexanchidae tooth fragment, but it also smillair to Pseudocoracidae. Nasiłów, Poland Greensand, Mastrichtian/Danian

How do you guys and girls do it? Please show some pictures and tips! Would be greatfull!

I've got a small horse tooth from the Peace River near Wachula. It's got a big split down the middle and seems to be only getting worse. I submerged it in an unknown higher concentrate of paraloid-b72. Do you guys reckon that will be enough to halt the split? It was a deep split nearly separating it in half. I submerged the tooth for a few minutes in solution to completely saturate the tooth.

Some unknowns from a few hours on the river yesterday..I have ideas of what they are but something makes me second guess myself on each of the four finds. First I think I found a piece of whale tooth? This may be one of my new favorites ( @Shellseeker I see where your interest comes from with these if it is indeed a whale tooth - it’s so beautiful inside that I at first thought it was an agatized coral finger). what is the piece protruding from the side? Part of root? Next, I’m pretty sure this is a fish scale, but I’ve found a lot of them in the past and none of them look this symmetrical or are this fat. Is this something else? Or a special/rare one? Or have I just found smaller, thinner ones in the past? This one…I want so badly for it to be a piece of newborn mammoth tooth that I can’t see anything else even though things are telling me it’s not what I want it to be. Break my heart gently please haha. and then there’s this fragment of a tooth…I thought it was a piece of horse tooth when I picked it up but it’s got growth lines (I can’t remember the scientific word) like a beaver or sloth..but it doesn’t resemble my capybara or sloth teeth…hmmm… As always, thanks for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate all of your expertise and guidance

Can anyone help with identifying this tooth? All I know is it comes from Alaska... exactly where in AK I can't say. I'm thinking walrus but it is quite small (just over 1 inch). Thanks.

Tooth of a mosasaur.

Dear fellow forum members, some time ago I acqured two desmostylian teeth, presumably Desmostylus hersperus. Only Info I got is that they are from california. I have been wondering if the smaller one shows some kind of pathology r if it is a juvenile unerupted tooth? By the way, could the chambered structure circled in red be a sand dollar? Best Regards, J

Hello everyone. I ordered this triceratops tooth and wanted to make sure that it is what the seller says. I will appreciate if you can let me know your opinions and if it is indeed a triceratops tooth as the seller states. Thank you all in advance.

Spinosaurus Tooth, is it real?
Samhain posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Can anybody help with identifying if this is a real Spinosaurus tooth? Thank you in advanced.

I recently found my first unerupted beaver (Holmes capybara) incisor chunk: I hadn’t previously held one. Now that I have, there a couple unidentified things I’ve been saving that may possibly be beaver tooth. This first one - could it be the top of an incisor? Or am I way off and it actually belongs to a tapir? It doesn’t photograph well so I added lots of pics and a video - it matches up with my capybara chuck pretty closely. Piece#1: Piece#1 next to capybara chunk: IMG_6128.MOV The 2nd piece is small but someone may be able to tell what it came from piece#2: IMG_6128.MOV

CANADA: Is this a REAL MEGALODON Tooth??
JoelW posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there, I am hoping some experts could help me determine if this tooth is real or not. I did some research and it appears to be a megalodon tooth (possible fake?) from the Pungo River Formation. I found it at a thrift shop and my Fiance was pretty annoyed I would spend so much on a fake tooth. It is odd to find at a thrift shop/red cross so that is why i am asking as well... Curious what you guys think this could be worth if you in fact think it is real.. i measure the longest point from the tip to the root edge at just over 5.5" (its difficult to show this in a picture). As a non-expert, I feel this could be real as it is fairly heavy, it does not seem like something cast in a single mold, the coloring is imperfect like it is natural and there are alot of different textures. The root is rougher, the enamel is very smooth and the part under the enamel looks like what i would think as bone. Super curious what everyone thinks! My fiancé is not too happy about me spending [price removed] on a fake tooth... HELP!
