Hi! My name is Michelle Huddleston. I live in Holly Springs, North Carolina. My husband and I have been collecting shark teeth for the past 9 years. We have a little over 10,000 shark teeth which most are small. These were collected at Myrtle Beach, SC. We want to up the game and start doing river hunting and quarry digging so we can find bigger teeth or unique colors. I did some research over the weekend. Looks like Summerville, SC is a hot spot but we don't know where to go. I found some quarries we can go to so that is set up. Anyone have a place we can go find megalodon teeth at? That is the one tooth we don't have yet. Thanks! I look forward to being in this group.

Help me understand the River Bend Formation and the age of H.serra in North Carolina
DevilDog posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I have been researching why my specimens of H.serra teeth from Topsail Island and Lee Creek look different. Apparently, H.serra from the early Oligocene are smaller, less robust, and have finer serrations compared to later, Miocene H.serra teeth. Is my conclusion accurate? The H.serra from Topsail Island are supposedly from the River Bend Formation. There is conflicting information on the internet about the age of this formation. Some sources say "early" or "lower" Oligocene, some say "middle-late" Oligocene. Which is correct? If "early" is correct, when was it formed? Closer to 33 mya or more recent? For H.serra found in North Carolina, what is the range in age? Oligocene-Miocene /33.9-5.3 mya? Is it possible to narrow down that range more accurately? -
My dad's friend found this in North Carolina recently, and he needs some help identifying it. I'm pretty sure it's not a Meg, but it might be a Dusky or a Mako.
-
My best guess is G.aduncus. I realize most of the serrations are broken off, but the uninterrupted curvature of the main part of the tooth does not match my other examples of G.aduncus or G.cuvier.

I overlooked this one a few times because it is so small. Appears to be a symphyseal tooth. Lee Creek spoils pile find. Any guesses as to species?

This is the first time I've tried to go looking for fossils and found this while breaking apart some sedimentary rocks. I don't know if I'm seeing the cross section of something. The lighter grey, white area really stood out against the normal red yellow white of the surrounding stone. Located near the edge of a creek bed. According to the usgs the area is Felsic Metavolcanic Rock and in the period of Cambrian/Late Proterozoic.

Hi there! I went fossil hunting today at GMR and found all these awesome bones! I am most interested in what the top row, first 3 on left could be. They were found right next to each other. all the other bones were found in a close distance (within 10 feet) of the first 3. Thank you for any and all help! if anyone has any input on any other bones in the first pic, I would appreciate that as well

I got to do my first Meg Ledge trip yesterday. The weather was nasty on the “offshore” ledge, so we hit the “inshore” one. So ~25 miles out instead of ~40. All three dives were at ~100’. The attached pictures contain the haul from my final dive of the day. Almost got a 6” tooth. I’m curious to see how they look after they’ve been cleaned up.

Hello! I’m a new member from NC. I’m a fossil novice but look forward to learning! These fossils were found in shell piles at the high tide line at Ocean Isle Beach - a small island on the southern coastline of North Carolina. I think these are teeth but I can’t find any similar teeth online. Any help with identification is greatly appreciated!

I have a megalodon tooth. The seller said it was recovered by a diver in N. Carolina "from the Yorktown or Hawthorne formation." It has a nice spot of coral on it. Is there any way to know if the coral is modern or a fossil also?

Just trying to find out whether or not this is a shark tooth or part of a shell. I am on vacation at Ocean Isle Beach North Carolina. I found this earlier today around 12:30 p.m. I was near the tide line. It doesn’t look to be very pointy on top but the bottom looks different than a broken shell part. The coloring looks different, blackish grey with some white on it. Any help would be great. I’m a newbie here. Thanks for helping me out.

I found this on Topsail Island the other day. I know some people have found horse teeth on the beach so curious if this is a broken one. Looks like a molar.
