How to ID ice age fossil bones

The post about the wholly rhino vertebra got me thinking. What are the Maine factors you look at when identifying the species from fossil that come from the North Sea. Is there any good literature or guides out there?

best regards Emil

Another lucky day (auriculatis tooth?)

Another good day on Topsail Island. Pretty sure this is a shark tooth but I don’t know what kind. Enter google, but I thought I’d get a better idea from you all. Thanks so much!!!

Lake Michigan Fossil

I came across this while rock hunting, on a shoreline close to Chicago. Every time I pick it up to look at it I find something new, but I know nothing about it!
