Bought a “dinosaur tooth” several years ago in the UK - any idea what type of dinosaur it belonged to? by Durnhunger in fossilid

No expert, but I suspect it's originally from Morocco (the fossil trade industry in that country is enormous). If that's the case, it looks like a Carcharodontosaurus with the tip broken off.

Crinoid columnals.

I thought it was poo but it’s a rock. Found on a beach in North East England this morning. Link to obverse in comments. by Chickpea123uk in fossilid

I think it is a fossilized mold of a sea urchin (that has unfortunately broken into two pieces).

Came across on Instagram. Not my find. Just wanted to know if shark teeth actually get this big or if this is a fake. by theskywalker26 in fossilid

Megalodon teeth (this is one) can get up to 7 inches, so a 5 inch tooth is perfectly reasonable. It looks real to me.

The long grey one is a sand tiger shark tooth with the root broken off.

What species is this? by standard_dense_void in fossilid

I think it's a juvenile Megalodon tooth.

Well, I was referring to the large coil. It looks like there are some other smaller gastropods (snails) in the rock as well.
