Spent another afternoon on the Ramanessin yesterday. Walked in with a club from South Jersey who piled in at the big gravel bar with all the downed trees a little below the dam, including a relatively new addition of a tulip tree that is still covered in leaves. Later, I also met a member of a topographical survey team who was walking the stream bed and ran into a younger local who I have seen there several times previously. Overall a pretty busy day and much cloudier and cooler than last Saturday. (30 degree difference week over week) Unfortunately the trip was more of a heartbreaker than the banner trip last weekend. A lot of interesting and colorful teeth, but all the best stuff was broken or otherwise banged up The big goblin blade came up in the sifter with the point sticking out of the gravel and I got excited for a second before crashing back to reality All 5 broken sawfish rostrals came up in the same spot within 15 minutes... very frustrating. Overall the teeth were a little bigger than my past few visits and the color variety was great.

Hi everyone, tonight I wanted to share some pictures I took of the tiny chondrichthyan teeth I found in the Aguja matrix I got last year. I was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on their identity as there appears to be a few different types represented. 4 mm 3 mm 3 mm 5 mm

Hello all. I picked up these teeth from a charity shop. I'm pretty sure they are shark teeth, and just bought them to pop in my curiosity collection, but when I was researching I didn't think they were the 'typical' shark style. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the species it has come from?

Agaleus + Other Jurassic Shark Teeth Wanted
Untitled posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hello, everyone! I am in search of Jurassic shark teeth. Primary species I am looking for is Agaleus dorsetensis, an Early Jurassic Galeomorph shark that has been found in Europe, most commonly at Lyme Regis, UK. I prefer teeth with no matrix, no repairs or restoration. Other Jurassic taxa I am looking for include: Palaeocarcharias stromeri Crassodontidanus Notidanoides Phorcynis catulina Palaeoscyllium formosum Corysodon cirinensis I can offer fossil shark teeth of different rarities, depending on which teeth of these you can offer. Some of the more desirable taxa can warrant teeth of high rarity in return. I have everything from deep-sea squaliform material, to many of the desirable Cretaceous lamniform species, and other scarce shark taxa. Please send me a PM if you have any of these teeth, and what species you may be looking for in return! Best Regards Ben -
Are these shark teeth? Their both 3 millimetres so I had to play around with some enhancing and sharpening apps, which the grainy rock does not help. I’m also currently working on getting microscopes for my IPhone to help take good photos of smaller finds. But if it’s even possible to identify I’m wondering if their shark judging by the shape and texture. Any input would be appreciated but I understand it’s almost impossible to identify them it’s these photos.

I've had this shark tooth for a long time now. But never gave it much attention. As I don't know myself what it is and since it's pretty small. Could anyone help me indentifying it?

Hi everyone! I recently got this Paratodus Benedini tooth from South Carolina. It appears to be around 2'4 inch big and my question is it 100% real? I do want to know if this one is genuine before actually doing it of course. Thank you for the comments in advance!

Two separate trips (Stratford hall and Douglas Point)
Fossil_Adult posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I hit the Potomac yesterday after a long hiatus for some Paleocene sharks teeth. I also decided to include a few of my finds from the recent Stratford hall trip, which was pretty decent. I always go to Douglas point for my Paleocene teeth because it’s just a good area and I almost always come back with a complete otodus. This time, that didn’t happen, though I did find a few broketodus teeth so meh. But I did come back with some good stuff, including a monster croc tooth, and a gigantic goblin sharks tooth. I also got a fish jaw with a lot of teeth in it and some other nice stuff, in addition to what I think is either a tortoise or turtle leg spur, which I thought was a large worntodus on first glance. On the Stratford trip, I got some cool Snaggles (not pictured below) some makos, and a drum fish jaw with two teeth on the side that came right out the clay. 6 people walked right by it! Plain as day I don’t even know how they could not have spotted it the thing was very obviously exposed! Anyways, here’s all the spoils.

Walked and walked and walked til I couldn’t to walk any more. Really thought after the recent rains that I would find more but I am very pleased with this absolutely perfect and beautiful coprolite. Also found a nice mosy tooth. Rest were just scraps I gave to kids on the way out. IMG_7369.MOV

I'm not sure what species of shark this belongs to. All I know is that it is around 100 million years old. I think it may be from a Squalicorax or 'crow shark'. Any help would be appreciated

Found this roadside while taking dogs for a walk. Its a long dirt road going north to south and ends at Hidden Valley Ranch, Luna County New Mexico. It is likely nothing but I found it worthy of asking.

I have found several teeth in Big Brook over the past few weeks and am hoping someone may be able to help identify them for me. I am very new at this.

Now don't laugh at me too much for my question!! I just stumbled onto a post asking for an ID of what they thought was a lemon shark and it brought up a question I have had for a long time: 10 hours ago, hemipristis said: I usually only go with lower Carcharhinus when I see serrations on the blade, but maybe they are worn off. Also I can’t see it under a microscope. I have the chance to collect shark's teeth once a year and consider myself an absolute novice at ID. My question to the forum is how do you tell if a tooth is serrated? Silly question on a big meg. But on the smaller teeth, I often find a tooth that I run my finger nail down the edge and can feel "bumps". It is not smooth. Yet I can't say I really see serrations. How would you classify this???? Mike
