Hello and Welcome to Project Noah! That's one big tooth! Did you find it? I ask because since Project Noah is concerned with "spottings" it makes a difference. If you find a fossil in "the wild" it is perfectly acceptable as a spotting. And the location must be where you found it. Ideally if possible the fossil should be also photographed in the location where it was found. (This may not be possible but location must be known and indicated). However if it is from a museum (or an attic, a store or a garage sale) it's not really a spotting. A "spotting" could be defined as your own observation of, or focusing on, an individual(s) species, at a specific time and place. Location is important. So if someone takes a picture of a fossil (or a stuffed animal for that matter) at a museum, that really doesn't cound as an acceptable spotting because it is not the spotter's and it is not directly from the location, and very probably the exact location and is not known. Because your fossil is from a fish, I'll move it to that category. But please make sure that all your fossils meet the conditions I've described above. For more information on tips and do's and dont's See http://www.projectnoah.org/faq Thanks! Looking forward to more of your wildlife spottings.
