  1. Hey, been a while, so i decided to start a new topic for the new year. Headed out on Thursday 25/01 to the river shores in Antwerp again. First hunt of the year since i've worked non-stop so far and a contractor is rebuilding our house.. It was great being out again so i was already pleased on beforehand, finding some nice teeth made it even better 😁 here's some in situ pics.. Rolled C. hastalis C. hastalis in excellent shape my first Parotodus benedeni ever, not in great shape but an awesome find anyway 😀 Finally a complete 6cm C. hastalis VID20240125131132.mp4 And some random mammal teeth Had a great first hunt of the year, and I already feel like going back! oh yeah, here's the whole lot cleaned up.. Surprised about how many different species i got covered this time 😄 Grtz, Dries
  2. I need help with a couple of ID's.... The first one is a shark tooth, from the east coast of the USA - most likely from the Meg ledge. I'm not sure if it's a Carcharodon or Isurus tooth. The root shape looks more Isurus-ish but I'm not 100% which is why I'm asking here. The other one is an awesome Mosasaur tooth in matrix (Moroccan in origin, if that wasn't obvious haha)... does anyone know the genus of this tooth? It doesn't look like the typical Prognathodon teeth often seen in natural matrix. The other fossils within this matrix have me very curious too.... can anyone ID the shark tooth and other random fossils? There is a good size chunk of bone in there too. The hourglass(ish) shaped fossil might be a vertebra ...?

    Yet another mysterious Shark tooth.

    Hello. I am here with another unknown shark tooth. This one I personally found. For a while I believed it to be from Hastalis, but I have doubts after searching it up. It is around 5-3 million years old. It was also found alongside what I believe to be a Scylirhinoid vertebrae.
  4. I had some time to get back out to the cliffs on Saturday, the wind was rough and it was calling for rain after 10am, so kayaking wasn’t an option and I wanted to be off the beach before the rain got bad. I parked and walked down to the beach a half hour before sunrise to begin my search. As expected the water was very rough, and very murky. I knew I wouldn’t be able to find much of anything below the tide line, and it would be hard to be able to grab something out of the wash before another wave hit. I moved quickly checking the higher shell line and found some decent teeth but nothing to special, until I found what would have been a nice megalodon but a large chunk of the tip was missing, I also found a nice epiphysis disk and shark vertebra before turning around. I didn’t know what my luck would be like on the walk back but I was still hopeful the rough water would wash up something great. Then I got my find of the day when a 1.81” hastalis washed up in front of me. Before getting back to the truck a got another heartbreaking megalodon fragment and another nice hastalis. The conditions were rough, and I was getting a little aggravated feeling like I was missing so much, it also didn’t help that the waves were soaking me even with my waders. Non the less it’s always good to get out and check the beach when I can because you never know which wave will wash up that find of a lifetime. Thanks for reading y’all, until next time!
  5. I got back out to the Calvert Cliffs to do some more hunting yesterday, the low tide wasn’t till noon so I got to the beach around 9am to begin my search. I had more beach than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise but the wind made the water a little choppy and murky. With it being a weekday there was only one other person out on the beach walking ahead of me. I was careful not to walk in their footsteps, searching the spots they passed when I see a root poking out of the sand, I move the sand out of the way to unearth a beautiful 1.75” broad hastalis! A great start, I really didn’t need to find much else to make to the trip, and it was only the first find! I continue on and eventually the person ahead of me decided to turn back, leaving me a lot of unsearched beach ahead. I found some nice hemis and a dolphin tooth, then I spot what I thought was a chunk of bone rolling in the wash. I pick it up to reveal the corner chunk of a massive megalodon, it looks like it would have been at least 4”. Absolute heartbreaker, but it’s still neat to find and gets my hopes up for the future. Soon after my hopes were realized when I spot a gorgeous 2” megalodon/chubutensis wedged between some clay blocks, unmoved by the waves rolling over it. At this point I was at the end of the beach and ready to begin my walk back, already very happy with my finds so far, and the waves were mixing everything up so I still had hope for another good find. Not too long after turning around, I spot what looked like a large root of an odontocete tooth rolling in the wash, I scoop up and reveal what I believe a 1.8” squalodon tooth, unfortunately a good portion of the crown is broken off so I’m not sure. While the break on the crown is heartbreaking it’s still an amazing find and I was quite ecstatic. The day wasn’t done yet though, before I got back to the truck I found a nice shark vertebra, and a little beat up meg/chub. It was a great day out on the bay and even though I had some heartbreakers, I definitely had a couple trip makers! Thanks for reading y’all, till next time.

    Hi :)

    Hello everyone my name is Bonnie, I am new to this group, but not new to fossil hunting, I have hunted fossils along the east coast of Virginia in my entire life but really became engulfed in the last three years, I look forward to sharing my findings and learning more each day🥰

    Large Lee Creek Mako/White Shark

    From the album: Fossils

    This is my largest mako (now considered an extinct white shark). It measures 3.16 inches and was found in the Lee Creek Mine Pliocene Yorktown Formation.
  8. The child in me doesn’t like working on my birthday, so I like to take the day off to try to get out on the beach for a hunt. We had some crazy weather the days before with wind gusts up to 60mph! It had my hopes high to find myself a large tooth for my birthday. So yesterday me and my girlfriend got up early to kayak out on the bay to watch the sunrise before going to the cliff to start our hunt. It was a beautiful morning and the water was nice and calm, it’s hard to believe there was 6 foot waves not but a day and a half before. Once we land, after only about 15 minutes on the beach and I find an amazing 1.79” megalodon! And before I could catch up with my girlfriend to show her, I spot a really nice 1.72” hastalis tumbling in the water! We continue on with the finds slowing down after passing some fellow fossil hunters on the beach, but still finding some nice smaller teeth in the wash. I found another decent hastalis right as we turned around and a really nice shark vertebra before we got back to the kayaks. It was a great morning and I can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday. I may not have got that big tooth I’ve been hunting for, but I definitely can’t complain the the great haul I ended up with! Thanks for reading, see y’all next time!

    C. Hatalis teeth?

    Found these teeth from Batesford Quarry which is late Oligocene to middle Miocene. I am confident that they are C. Hastalis but would appreciate a second opinion.
  10. Went out on a short weekend trip a few days ago, here's the finds!
  11. Had another early morning today, first time out since the time change so getting in the water for sunrise was a little difficult. None the less I launched the kayak around 6am and watched a beautiful sunrise on the water, then got to the beach to begin searching. Not to long after getting to the beach I found a great hastalis measuring 2.02” (my second biggest) and a few steps away found a nice little cow shark tooth! It slowed down from there finding a large fish vert (my largest) with the rest of my finds being a little further apart. Talked to a fellow fossil hunter on the beach who found a beautiful megalodon around 2.5” with great color, I was a bit jealous but it’s always nice to see other peoples finds. On the walk back to the kayak I found a nice little micro meg and some dolphin teeth to wrap the trip up. Another great day on the bay, I’ll be back soon!
  12. I'm not aware of any other similar teeth to hastalis occurring in the Gainesville/Hawthorne formation area but I've never had one with this shape before. Thanks, Ben

    Yesterday evening we went out to a spot we haven't visited in a while, it started out extremely slow, until we hit on one spot that held a possible whale tooth (link to ID thread at bottom) and from there we started pulling out a lot more teeth, here's what we found, enjoy! nice hastalis, probably 1 1/2 inches great white with some great colors fish jaw Whale tooth?

    C. hastalis 9.2.23

    From the album: Fin Lover's South Carolina Finds

    Don't find many with roots here!
  15. After hurricane Ian hit last year, I made a trip report from a location that doesn't offer many perfect teeth: I have been back there probably 12+ times since then, but have never come close to that many finds...until now. This is one pass of the creek, but split into two trips due to getting rained out halfway through the first day. Also, I only surface hunt, leaving lots for all of the sifters to find. My first nurse shark tooth! At 5 mm, I'm lucky to have found it surface hunting: Broken arrowhead, but I rarely find these: Broken C. catticus. Such a shame since they are uncommon here: I think these are all odontocete teeth (maybe not the first one): Worn horse tooth and a frag: Verts and hypural bones, etc. One is 3 or 4 verts fused together! Ray mouthplate bits: Other miscellaneous: Better picture of the sawfish rostral tooth(?): Otodus and suspected Otodus frags: And did you see it in the mix? I finally got a complete angy here, although it is missing the serration on the tip. Still, this is as good as they come at this location: Other "larger" teeth (sand tigers, hastalis, great whites, Isurus): Close-up of one of the great whites, since I don't find many anywhere in Summerville, and the ones I do find are usually missing the root: Lots of smalls: I don't keep many bones, but here are a few odd pieces, a worn cetacean vert, turtle, and a couple shells: No 4+ inch angy this trip, but some things I've never found and some that are in good condition for this spot. My husband did tell me before I left to not even bother coming home if I didn't find a cowshark tooth. But, who are we kidding...we all know who is in charge. Thanks for reading!
  16. I recently added a few new big teeth to my collection which prompted me to take some pics of the largest teeth I have from 3 species - Carcharodon hastalis, Carcharodon carcharias and Otodus megalodon. One of the recent acquisitions is the 2.7" C. hastalis. It's not in great condition but it's not every day you come across a specimen this size so I had to buy it! While the 2.7" C. hastalis and 2.6" C. carcharodon teeth are approaching maximum size for each species.... the O. megalodon teeth make them look small. A little perspective on just how large that shark got!
  17. My daughter found this slightly over 2 inch tooth diving off Venice Beach, Florida in March. Boat operator and I both immediately thought it was a hastalis (broad toothed mako/narrow white). However, now that I have been reading more on great white lineage and evolution, I’m wondering if it’s perhaps a plicatilis (giant white). Or…are those two actually the same? Any help appreciated…thank you! here’s the link that got me wondering: https://www.fossilguy.com/gallery/vert/fish-shark/giant-white/index.htm

    Creek trip 4/7/23

    Went out to a creek yesterday and, wow! It was a great trip, we got three hastalis teeth, two great white, two MONSTER tigers, and what I believe is dolphin tooth, but I'll probably have checked later. Thanks for reading!

    Holden Beach Diversity Of Fossils

    Recently got back from a trip on Holden Beach, and just WOW. Words can't describe the uniqueness of being able to find Mosasaur teeth next to Megalodon teeth. The recent Hurricane brought in many new fossils and I had quite good luck. Here are some photos of the trip, I will post a picture showing all of my best finds shortly, but for now enjoy! First, here are some of the Squalicorax pristodontus teeth I collected. These were relatively common.

    Makos

    From Wednesday. Are these all C. hastalis ? It the last one a symphyseal ?
  23. First of all I will make it clear that I have no idea how to spell some of these names, I tried Google but it didn't understand what I was trying to say, so these are just guesses that sound about right. So my question is what are the different makos (by this I mean modern makos, hastalis, desori, and any others you can name) and how do identify them from each other? Thanks!
  24. Recently I bought some fossilized shark teeth from sukabumi, indonesia. There are plenty of bulls, dusky, lemons, big hemis and tigers and a lot of giant megalodon, but why are there so few great white shark teeth, and why hastalis almost never seen? Is it because hastalis are extinct at that time? And is it because the great white shark failed to compete with the megalodon in that place?
