From the album: Fin Lover's South Carolina Finds
It's broken, but I guess I've joined the 4 inch meg club! -
I found this shark vertebrae on the beach. I believe it is from a Scylirhinoid. Am I correct?

I just got a megalodon tooth a few days ago. It has coral on the top of it. Is it fossilised or modern? The tooth itself is estimated to be around 5 million years, and it was found in Wilmington, North Carolina.

I've been looking and pulverized rock under a microscope and have found some interesting items. The first image is possibly a fish jaw, followed by a possible shark spine fragment. Any ideas on those 100% or the rest? Thanks.

Maryland Croc, Broken Meg Piece, and Snake on a rainy high tide hunt
MDhunting1299 posted a topic in Member Collections
I got on the beach a little later than I should have and missed low tide. I hiked down the beach in high tide, in my chest waders, and had to turn back because most of the beach had disappeared. Still found some good teeth! A nice crocodile tooth which was a tripmaker and my first piece of a large Meg! I've gotten smaller meg pieces but this one gave me a lot of hope for the future. It showed me that there are Megs out there. Found this piece of meg in the wire and rock dividers that separate the cliffs from the beach, apparently called Gabion baskets? Not sure. Anyway, I also saw a Snake sitting on some clay! Great day, I cant wait to go back. Maybe try a spot in VA next time.

This ia an object I found on a gravel path on the southern shore of Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisc. I always thought it was a fossilized shark tooth, but after finding this discussion, I'm not as convinced as I once was. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

It’s her biggest one and we always wondered what it is. But now I’m starting to get more into fossils

If anyone has stories, tips, experiences/ images of hunting in Peru, specifically the Ocucaje desert that would be so interesting! I have thinking about traveling there for a long time! (I know you can’t take the teeth out of country)

I was just going through my unread on the forum when I found the show us your rarest shark tooth thread. As I was scrolling through this thread I noticed at least two different species of Parotodus, which I found strange, as I was only aware of Parotodus Benedini. So what are the other species of the genus Parotodus and how do you distinguish between them?

I was just wanting to show off my biggest hemi in 2 years of amateur fossil hunting. Its a 1.7 inch hemi from a dredge system in georgia, its been cleaned up alot since the root was fully covered in matrix still slightly unstable however. Im pretty happy with the condition and colors I was wondering whats the biggest hemi ever found or biggest personal hemi anyone else has found.

Hello again, dear forum users. At this point in time, we began to study a point with a Cretaceous (we believe that this is Campanian based on the fauna of shark teeth and lithology) fauna. These are mainly shark teeth and fragments of cartilaginous fish. But there are also such mysteries. The main version is that this is either a fragment of coral or fragments of sea urchin needles. Particularly interesting is the strange formation on one of them, as if something had attached itself and was about to grow - a brachiopod? The third question is about the tooth of synechodus, is it a tooth of synechodus lerichei? I'm right? Best regards, Anton.
