The last one in the first series of pics looks like a pile of petrified human ears. That literally made me laugh out loud! But then……. Why did you think of that?😬 You got a pile of human ears we don’t know about? Hey! They look like ears! And in my defense, I no longer store any body parts in my home. |

Round ones in second photo kind of look like baculites.

Number 6 looks like a small piece of a clam/mollusk death plate - if slabbed people call it devil's toe nails Number 7 is fossil coral Fossil coral? I never would have thought that.  |

I have no real knowledge on teeth except seeing spinosaurus teeth for sale. They look a lot like what you have. For dinosaur teeth they are somewhat common because they would regularly shed and grow back like sharks. That's so awesome - I looked those up, and they do indeed look like spinosaurus teeth! I wish they weren't all broken! |

ericabelle Image #2 at 12 o'clock is a mosasaurus tooth, The others, @ 3 o'clock is different than the rest as well possibly some theropod teeth. Do you know where they are from? Cretaceous formation likely.

Cretaceous formation likely. Unfortunately I don't know where they are from - I bought them at an estate auction. The man that owned them traveled to rock shows and sold mineral specimens, slabs, and polished rocks. But the one at 12:00 definitely looks different than the rest - I'll have to label these! It is exciting to have dinosaur teeth, even if they are in bad shape. I"m sure it's not a big deal for most. Fossils just boggle my mind. |

I gotta lick more rocks, I guess, to find out which is which! That makes sense, considering there was a whole lot of pet wood in the rock lots I bought. |

I was told if they sticky when you licky then they are fossil bone rather than gem bone. There is a difference.
Also, you might want to join me at rocklickers anonymous....lol. You can beat em but you shouldn't lick em. LOL

And I definitely need to join Rocklickers Anonymous.....can I bring some rocks to the meeting? |

And I definitely need to join Rocklickers Anonymous.....can I bring some rocks to the meeting? I was told that by a paleontologist who was taking a group of us out to dig dinosaur bones in eastern Montana. That was after he told us that we wouldn't find any bones that would be able to be polished and if we found anything significant it would be the property of the ranch. I found a few little bones but nothing to write home about. That was an expensive lesson I learned. I gave the pieces to a guy in the group who had a grandkid who liked dinosaurs. Sure, you can bring rocks to the meeting although you need to wash the tongue marks off of them first...LOL |
