Long overdue to post about some of my NC finds from earlier this year! First up was a very exciting trip to the NC Triassic to look for a variety of plant fossils, which were my first Mesozoic plants. Beautiful white coloring on some of them as well, the matrix is extremely soft (you can easily scrape it with your finger nails) so I've done some experimenting with how to best consolidate them without damaging the visual effect. Not a ton of variety at the site, but they are abundant and sometimes surprisingly well preserved. I have found Otozamites hespera and Otozamites powelli, as well as a few other kinds of plants. I also disturbed a "hibernating" lizard, initially I was concerned that my digging had injured him, but after a some time in the sun he scampered off seemingly no worse for the experience.

Hi everyone - does anyone know offhand what non-Cretaceous formations are present at Holden Beach, NC? I have not been able to figure it out. For example, what formations might this tooth be from, and what is the age range? I assume Pliocene onwards?

Found both these teeth near the peace river i've never found this kind of tooth shape. Im pretty sure its a type of mako but was wondering if anyone could an ID it or give any type of information.

Found on the coast of Hilton Head South Carolina USA. I am quite unsure of what this is, it’s very eroded and might ether be unidentifiable, or just a funny looking rock. However, I find it looks very tooth like, with one wide end, and one pointy end, as well as a cavity that is open at the wide end and gently tracks further into the “tooth” My first thought was a premolar of some sort of primitive whale sans the roots. But that seems unlikely. Please share your thoughts! I’d love any sort input and if you would like a better picture of a certain angle, let me know! Here are the pictures 1. Front side 2.Back side 3.Right side 4.left side 5.Top side 6.Bottom side And here is a video of the specimen rotating! (ignore the sparkling putty, it was the only option I had to get it to sand up nice while still being visible at all angles) IMG_0199.mov

A rather cool association piece - a Cretodus with a Ptychodus nestled between the root lobes. -
Hello all. I have this one shark tooth from the London clay and I’m really stuck on its identity. I’ve already ruled out Striatolamia due to the lack of lingual folding and shape of the cusplets. The only two options I have are Hypotodus verticalis and Glueckmanotodus heinzelini, but it has features of both and also has features that both do not present. It’s from the London Clay formation at Walton-on-the-Naze, UK. The age is early Eocene (Ypresian). Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there! Do you think it is a tooth of Megalodon? It came from Calvert Cliffs. Thank you!

Hey TFF! First post! Not making my appearance with a bang, but had a decent quick trip to the Potomac, about an hour and 15 minutes. Nice handful of sea glass, decent amounts of ray plates and turritella. A few solid sand tigers. And what I believe to be a small, busted otodus in the palm of my hand. I usually always come away with at least one small complete otodus, so when I don’t, it makes a great day fossil hunting turn into merely a very good day 🤷🏻♂️. Let me know what you think!

Got this shark tooth from a rock show a couple of years ago (when I was not into fossil collecting) and seller said it was from morocco, that is all I know as far as this tooth goes. (I am not a shark tooth expert by any means, but I can tell that the root is composite and not original) Thank you for your time!

Is it a truly natural megladon tooth?
Gregorsamsa posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I recently bought this tooth from an online auction site. It is listed as being 100% natural. I am a beginner to collection fossils, but especially the back looks a bit patched up. Hope some of you more knowledgable collectors can help me on this. This last picture I was sent by the seller, when it was still in it's matrix.

Polyacrodus aff. brevicostatus, Lower Glen Rose
Mikrogeophagus posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Glen Rose Formation
Polyacrodus aff. brevicostatus, Canyon Lake Albian, Cretaceous Jan, 2024 I believe it is likely P. brevicostatus instead of P. parvidens because it is low crowned, has more than 2 pairs of lateral cusplets, and has labial nodes present on all cusps/cusplets. I'll admit it's hard to be super confident in an ID as most papers are pretty old/inaccessible.- 2 comments

From the album: Pleistocene
Carcharhinus limbatus, Port Aransas Beach Pleistocene Mar, 2024 Drove down to the Corpus Christi area for the first time to scout some promising sites and the famous Port Aransas Beach. Sadly, I almost got totally skunked. The only saving grace of the day was this C. limbatus tooth I sifted out of a pile of shells on the crowded beach. -
