Let's see your unusually colorful fossil teeth

[Jaybot]

Let's see y'alls unusually/beautiful colored fossil teeth!

Can be mammal, dinosaur, shark, etc. - you name it.

While rarity of a species is always accounted for, often the beauty or color rarity of fossils is underappreciated.

I think this will be a fun thread; here's my entry to get the ball rollin'.

 

This is what inspired me to start this thread actually:  An unusually colored 'Giant Beaver' incisor fragment I found in E Kansas Glacial material.  These are almost always black.

 

 

 

Have fun!

I found this not so spectacular piece of Otodus on one of my last hunts in the Antwerp area, Belgium..

 

The colors on the other side though.. 🤩

This Hell Creek Ceratopsian tooth good enough. That extra orange on top of the grey/black is still always nice to look at.

Teleoceras (Short Legged Rhino) I found on a Gravel bar in eastern Ks.

I just Really like the color on it (and it is from a really cool animal).

"Hybodus" minor, from a Rhaetic bone bed, Somerset, England. (And with unidentified borings in the root.) 3.5mm.

Here's one of my color changing Peripristis teeth I found and cleaned last year from the Pennsylvanian-aged Bond Formation of Illinois.  The blue coloration is waning away.

It is odd how some teeth fade or change color entirely.  Nice find
