Here are some finds from two trips in early November. Several ptychodus with one nice large one, a ton of shark teeth shards, a couple pieces of mammal enamel, and some unknowns. Im posting the shark teeth first and then will post the pictures of some of the others. Let me know what you think. Anyone know the species of the teeth in picture 1? I was specifically wondering about number 3 from the first picture. Pictures 6-10 are closeups. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Hello! Is it possible to identify this tooth? May be Synechodus? Height: ~ 5 mm. Age: most probably redeposits from Cretaceous or Paleogene. Location: Western Ukraine Thanks!

Please help me ID these shark teeth that were found on the west coast of Florida (near Venice) over the past weekend. My belief is that the top row could be Great White and/or Megalodon (very nice serration on the largest/first one), the second row is either Bull or Dusky, and the third row is Hemipristis (Snaggletooth). As for the fourth row... the jury is still out. I am most intrigued by the third/tiny one (from left to right). It looks different from anything else I have ever found. Very compact, lots of detail, and oddly shaped. Any ideas???

Please help ID any of these sharks teeth that were collected from the west coast of Florida (near Venice) this past weekend. Based on my research, the top two rows look like Sand Tiger and the bottom two look like Lemon. Would this be correct or are there any that look out of sorts?

Hi everyone, A friend found this bone with what looks like a shark tooth embedded into it while he was hunting in Bakersfield near Shark Tooth Hill. Does it look like an embedded shark tooth? and what type of shark do you think it could be from? He found several Hastalis and Planus teeth in the same layer. I really appreciate all the help the community has provided me. I learn something new every time. Thanks!

OBX (Outer Banks, North Carolina) again (what a year it’s been!)
Fossil_Adult posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Last time I visited the outer banks, I was in Corolla and I found some of my best ice age fossils ever. So when my mom and all the other adults wanted to go again for two weeks, I didn’t protest. So off we went, down to Duck this time. It turns out that we had to leave a little early, but I wasn’t disappointed because I got what I wanted from that place. The amount of fossils here were a lot less common to find than in Corolla and I found myself walking miles and miles between finds before stumbling across something. With that being said, I got some nice sharks teeth, ray plates, more fish bones, some killer shells, and one unidentified vertebrae that was from a land mammal. Anyone who still has a clue can weigh in, otherwise, here are my spoils from the trip to the northern outer banks.

Hello! I'm new to this forum and fossil hunting overall. I'd love some help identifying my best shark teeth finds so far (still holding out for some big ones). Especially the (partial?) on the top row, as it's very serrated and my biggest to-date. These are all from Calvert Cliffs, Matoaka / Long Beach area, and a couple from Flag Ponds, so all Miocene. (Please let me know if it would be helpful to upload any other photos or info.) Many thanks!

I made a trade with a fellow Texas fossil hunter - sent him some Central Texas goodies for some North Texas Post Oak Creek gravel. I was hoping to get a gallon bag to look through in my microscope.....and he sent me FIVE gallon bags full of just scooped up out of the creek gravel! So far I've made it through ONE and a half of those bags! It may take me the rest of 2020 and right on through most of 2021! So I thought I'd post some of the good stuff I've found so far. Starting it off with THE TEETH. There were some larger teeth, nothing great, no ptychodus, which I was hoping for, but the mini finds have been outstanding. I have tried to ID them but if I am inaccurate in any of them , please let me know! Here is Part Two: The most common teeth: Goblin shark- Scapanorhynchus Size 1/2 inch (13 mm) My favorite - Squalicorax Size 1/4 inch (6 mm) Pretty sure these are all Cretolamna but I am not completely certain. I know the top left on is Cretolamna appendiculata. Size 1/4 inch (6 mm) And then there are the shark teeth that do not look like your "typical shark tooth"! These are Cantioscyllium (Nurse shark) Size 1/8 inch (3 mm) (Top row shows front and back of one and bottom row is front and back of another) Another pair of really interesting odd teeth Top Row: Kiestus texanus (front and side) Bottom Row: Rhinobatos lobatus (front and back) Size 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) Hybodont Meristodonoides Teeth and an Enchodus Fish tooth Size : Hybodonts 1/8 inch and Enchodus 1/4 inch Finally. lots and lots of Sawfish teeth! I am having a hard time distinguishing between Ptychotrygon and Texatrygon, so I just put them all together: Size 1/8 (3 mm) except bottom right red one which is 1/16 inch 1.5 mm) Other Teeth - I think the bottom left round one is a Pycnodont? Size 1/8 inch More to come! Crab Claws and Vertebras and other stuff!

Hello everyone, So here we are, back in lock-down so an ideal time to review some finds. Just prior to the latest imprisonment I dashed down to Tidmoor Point near Chesil Beach for the day and grabbed some gravel to look through at home during the long nights. A few interesting items turned up and I wonder if anyone can help ID them please? The first 2 photo's show 3 teeth, the first 2 look to be from the same type of animal, the last evidently something very different. Do you think these were from (small) sharks or some kind of fish, (the divisions on the ruler are in mm). The last 3 photo's look like Merlins hat! At first they looked like teeth but now I'm leaning towards some kind of coral. Once again many thanks for any help you can offer - good luck in your fossil hunting! Best regards Keith

Spent the day in Washington's Astoria Formation. I was looking for anything avian related, but anything, especially pinniped or cetacean would be just fine. Found a few shark teeth, nowhere near as plentiful as the Carolinas and some whale bones (ribs and a vertebrae). If I'm hunting, I'm happy.

Good afternoon, fossil friends! This post is a bit of a long shot, but I figured I’d rather ask than not! This may be the incorrect thread to PLAN trips, so if it is, please let me know and I’ll delete it! I certainly intend to share some stories from past trips, but I’ve found myself with free time Wednesday in the first half of the day and I’d love to go on an adventure fossil hunting with someone who is also available, should anyone be up for that! I’m also down to plan future trips for other dates! I live in Denton county and I’m more than willing to travel a couple hours for a productive site! I myself have only explored the well-known north Texas sites such as Mineral Wells, Post Oak Creek, and Lake Texoma. If anybody would like to go there, NSR, or any other places they know of, it’d be really cool to explore with another fossil fanatic. My girlfriend is a great partner, but I always feel bad boring her with my rocks! Plus, I haven’t gotten to explore or learn as much about the fossils of this region as I’d like. I was a part of Dallas Paleo for a while, but after moving out of my parents’ house I haven’t had the time to rejoin, but hope to in the future! For now, I’d like to take some of my free time to learn with other paleo nerds when I can. Please reply if you’re interested in meeting up sometime and heading out to find some ancient friends!

Today was my 27th trip to Big Brook. Cold to start but not as cold as last week when I had to give up and leave. Park rules only allow you to keep 6 “artifacts”. So here is what I found. Which 6 would you suggest i keep? And why? Thank you all

Hello! Help please to identify this tooth. Length: slightly less than 2 mm. Age: Cretaceous - Miocene. Location: Western Ukraine Thanks in advance!

Hi all, My mom was going through some old things in the basement and found this. She said she found it when she was a kid, so I'm making assumptions it was found in Ellis County, Kansas. I've found several sharks teeth in the area which I believe are primarily Cretoxyrhina and Squalicorax based on location and pictures on this sites like these. My very amateur guess is centrum from one of those two, but am curious as to your thoughts. Thanks
