New Members chbingle Posted August 15 New Members Share Posted August 15 Hello everyone, This is my first post on this forum as I am a brand-new fossil collector as of today! I am on vacation in Colorado Springs, Colorado and found a local rock shop selling some fossils (there is a dinosaur museum/laboratory less than a mile away). The owner of the shop was not sure what these were but guessed they may be from an alligator, shark, or mosasaurus. As I am just starting collecting, I'd appreciate any insight on what these may have belonged to. The larger fossil is approximately 5.75cm while the smaller one is approximately 4.5cm. If I can upload better pictures or different angles, I'd be happy to do so! Thank you all in advance and I'm happy to be here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybot Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) They remind me of whale teeth. Seems like the ones found in Florida and South Carolina.

Shellseeker Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I agree with Jaybot... Some examples of Florida whale teeth: I have only seen whale teeth laminate like this....
