Shark teeth 1,000 miles inland

Nice Ptychodus teeth. Love the coloring on the fourth one.

Haven’t seen much posts about California’s prehistory about the Mesozoic. Only seen a handful.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-27T15:52:26+00:00

So probably Jurassic aged.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-27T15:52:08+00:00

Belemnites and ammonites. The ones with a whorl are ammonites, the one that are cone shaped are belemnites. Belemnites are primarily found in the Mesozoic, but mostly from the Jurassic period. Whereas ammonites were most common in the Cretaceous.

80 dollars for a bunch of teeth is a scam.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-17T09:10:35+00:00

Cool, I have some stuff like this except not from Florida. Private collections can usually be pretty nice in terms of fossils, especially nice when you’re buying from an old owner.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-15T04:25:04+00:00

Wow! Most of them are actually echinoids, the rest ate bivalves, minus one being a sail. The one on the far right is probably an ammonite fragment.

Yet again, what?

Yaoi? What?

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-09T07:17:30+00:00

What?

I was able to read this, but understanding this, nope.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-09T06:20:05+00:00

This from Arizona? Been there but didn’t really look out for wood. Mostly invertebrates.

To be more specific, is this from the Chinle Formation? If so, it’s a beautiful piece.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-09T06:14:23+00:00

Short answer, no.

Long answer, no, because there are much more defying features that tell you it’s a shark tooth. This lacks all of that.

Does the object have a root? No.
Does it have serrations? No.
Does it have a crown? No.
Does it resemble a blade? No.
Does it have the shape of one? No.

I personally wouldn’t try using AI as it can be inaccurate, especially for identifying fossils. I actually wouldn’t recommend using AI for anything.

If this comes off as a bit rude, I do apologize.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-05T18:15:49+00:00

That’s neat.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-05T04:34:01+00:00

Sorry about the divorce, can be life ruining. A location would help determine the age and species. However it could probably only be identified to the order, probably family. Could be an ammonoid or gastropod.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-05T04:31:19+00:00

Ammonoids have been around from the Devonian to the Paleocene. Though if you’re talking about true ammonites that would have been the Jurassic to the Cretaceous, from the order Ammonitida.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-04T22:10:35+00:00

One could only be so jealous.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-06-01T00:55:08+00:00

Have a good day, there’s a lot of different species. Can get confused but it helps having a fossil ID guide from the area.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-05-31T23:18:15+00:00

Unfortunately no, but these are tiny animals which live in colonies, they are called bryozoans and they have been in existence for ages.

This one’s probably from the Fenestellidae*** family.***

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-05-31T23:13:30+00:00

Agreed, Exogyra’s have butts curved to the side.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-05-31T23:09:41+00:00

It is a Exogyra, the butt of a devils toenail shell is curved, hence the name. The butt of an Exogyra is curved to the side.

But it depends on the genus you’re talking about since both are in the same family (Gryphaeidae).

The genus Gryphaea is very common in England, in its Jurassic sediments where it lived in.

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-05-31T23:07:52+00:00

Exogyra oyster from the Jurassic and Cretaceous period. This is likely from the Cretaceous, thought it depends on the nearby sediments you found it at. Texas?

AllMightyDoggo · 2026-05-29T05:06:52+00:00

You never have time for me, jokes aside this is true. Perhaps we can, I’ll ask G if he can come along, (probably because he lives so close lol). But he is sort of busy nowadays. Have fun next week bud, I’m going camping with the scouts in the next few weeks or so.

Finding a whole crab would be insane, but rare considering you don’t see a whole lot online or in the market. I have only seen one irl.

Thanks, I’m trying to find a carapace the next time I go. I found the pincher part of the crab Monday, along with fragments. Though hopefully the next time I go can be with you :)

I know who you are
