"I am a lifelong collector of anything that I find interesting, as long as it's something on, or in, the ground. This particular item was found while walking in a stream looking for Upper Pennsylvanian, Carboniferous Fossils. I don't actually have to look that hard, It's the carrying out, and finding storage room." —Mark

[OK, fossil collectors, it can sometimes be hard to tell when you find a unexpected tooth in a stream. Is this a modern mammal or a Pleistocene mammal fossil that washed into the stream from above the Carboniferous layers? Please leave a response.]
A huge tooth like this one discovered in Serbia is an exciting find.
Mammoth or Mastodon?
Location: Svetozar Miletic, Serbia
Fossil Collector: Ivan K.
[Editor's note: A wonderful fossil find! This huge tooth is almost certainly that of an ancient elephant. Do any of our collectors know which species it is? Please leave a comment.]
