    Hello to all of you guys, I´m a newbie to the forum, so i would like to before anything, say hi to everyone here And with that already said, i would need some help with the identification of some fossils of Elasmobranchii, that I have seen near the coast of south central Chile. The fossils are 2 teeth and something else that I´m unable to ID correctly (I think maybe a vertebra? or some weird gastropod). The age of the sandstone that contains these should be around the Upper Paleocene. The fisrt tooth I think is from some (I think) sand tiger shark (something near Carcharias), and correspond to an upper lateral or near upper posterior position. My best shots right now around this are some sp. of Carcharias, Brachycarcharias, and even Striatolamia but for me it would not be weird if its something else. Here the photos (each segment of the scale is a milimeter): And the second one is, for me, some lateral tooth of a Paraorthocodus, but not sure about the sp. of it. Should be somewhere near P. eocaenus or P. clarkii?. Here the images: Finally, the misterious one. Here the photo: thanks for reading, and help would be very nice (sorry if my english is not the best)

    I am visiting myrtle beach soon, cherry grove area, and was wondering if there were any really good strategies for finding shark teeth. I have been to holden beach, a little ways north, and found 75 shark teeth in a week by mostly looking in shell beds, however, I found my two largest teeth, two great whites, in a tide pool. Is there a really good location for tooth hunting at cherry grove? also, is there any one spot at the beach where there are the most shark teeth.

    Aurora Dig Pit Fossils

    fossil_lover_2277 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips

    Soooo a few days ago new material was dumped at the Aurora Fossil Museum. Well, I made the trip there before the Saturday crowds, and was well rewarded!!! These were the best finds of the day =p btw the stuff underneath the shark verts are 2 stingray spines, a filefish vert, a burrfish bone, a beat up dolphin jaw bone, and what I think is some type of fish skull cap

    Shark teeth!

    Tyrannosaurus-wreck posted a topic in Member Collections

    Hi! I just wanted to show off my best fossil hunting finds so far, I hope that's ok! I've identified them from left to right as extinct tiger-like shark tooth, snaggletooth shark tooth, tiger shark tooth, sevengill cow shark tooth, stingray barb, and pufferfish mouth plate I also included a tooth from a previous trip (second from the left) just to show why I'm so proud of these

    Fossil id (Calvert MD)

    Tyrannosaurus-wreck posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hi! First, thank you to everyone who responded to my older post asking for fossil hunting tips- I used as many as I could and I found some great stuff! Here's what I found and can't ID myself from my latest trip to Flagponds (Calvert MD). I was thinking 11 might be snaggletooth shark, and 19 and 20 looked like they might be from some kind of white shark though I'm not entirely sure? In addition to those I'm especially interested in identifying 1, 3, 4, 5, 8-9, and 13 but haven't been able to so far. I'd appreciate any help identifying these and the other teeth I have pictured! 36-48 are possible bones and bone fragments which I thought might have some potential for ID. If different angles or views are needed for any of these I'm happy to take more pics! Lighting in my house isn't ideal so these are the best I could do without taking pics of each bone/tooth individually. Oh they posted all out of order, sorry about that!

    Shark Teeth ID

    ParkExplorer posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hi all, Just finished up a vacation in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Each of these three teeth were found in the ocean swash upon crushed up shells. Can anyone identify any of the three? The last one (I did post in a separate thread, but figured I include it again) is just the tip (which looks pretty large to me as it’s almost as big as a dime - attached multiple photos). Really can’t determine what this might be? Looks very old and worn.

    Shark teeth ID please

    Harry_ posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hello, recently went on a trip to highcliffe beach/Barton on Sea (both have same formations and stretch of beach). I found 11 water-worn shark teeth from the shingle which are attached (I can post more of specific ones if needed) and lots of gastropods directly from the Barton clay, pictures will follow tomorrow if those. The formation is 40M years old. I have some rough ideas for what they may be but need some help Going from left to right starting on the first row: 1&2 I believe to be sand tiger shark of some sort. 3,4,5 and 6 I thought could be Carcharodon Auriculatus. 7 Is part of a ray plate, although very hard to capture in a photo as it is so small. Next row I don't have a clue about really except 1st I think is striatolomata sp. And 4 along (second tiny one) I think is also sand tiger possibly. Particularly curious about the one I posted more photos of individually (⁶th along on row 2) as it has a very circular top, so wondered if this could be an alligator or croc tooth? As I said I can post more of any individual ones and the gastropods tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any help, as I am in full noob mode trying to figure these out :P.

    Hi, I recenty acquired a bulk of shark teeth found on the beaches of Cadzand, The Netherlands. I think there are around 200 - 300 shark, ray and fish teeth in the bag ranging in age from the Eocene up to the Plio/Pleistocene. A large chunk of the teeth are common species like C. hastalis, Brachycarcharias lerichei & Striatolamia macrota teeth. But there are a few I am not sure about and some I don't even a clue about, so I was hoping some people here might help me out confirm my ID. Thank you in advance! All the ray teeth in the bunch Most of the cowshark teeth in the bunch, I think all of these might be Notorynchus primigenius from the miocene & pliocene Tooth 1: 3 teeth which I believe these are upper jaw teeth of Notorynchus primigenius Tooth 2: A cowshark that looks a little different than the rest, might this be a Hexanchus griseus tooth? (Miocene/Pliocene) Tooth 3: The largest tooth of the bunch, due to it's size I am not really sure to which species it might belong, although I believe it might be a large Sand Tiger tooth. Is it an Araloselachus vorax or do Striatolamia macrota & Isurolamna affinis get this big? Tooth 4: a small tooth with large cusps, only one like it in the bunch, the preservation typical of the eocene teeth from this location so I am guessing it is Eocene in age. But I don't really have a clue for the ID Tooth 5: Galeocerdo sp? Physogaleus secundus? Galeorhinus sp? Tooth 6: I am leaning towards either Anomotodon novus or Sylvestrilamia teretidens Tooth 7: Galeocerdo sp. or Physogaleus secundus Tooth 8: Odontaspis winkleri Tooth 9: worn Physogaleus secundus Tooth 10: Physogaleus secundus? Galeorhinus sp? Tooth 11: Abdounia recticona Tooth 12: Brachycarcharias lerichei Tooth 13: Physogaleus secundus or an Abdounia sp? Tooth 14: Physogaleus secundus? Galeorhinus sp? Tooth 15: I am pretty convinced this is an Eotrigonodon serratus tooth

    I have a modest collection of shark tooth fossils, some of these have been in my possession since I was a child and I can't remember how I got them. I didn't even think much about them until recently. I believe all of them came from Venice beach in Florida. Some I personally found at my last trip to Venice beach around ten years ago, some were given to me by my aunt when I was young, she frequented Venice beach and knew I loved (still do) sharks. It's possible that some of them were purchased from tourist shops along the Florida shore or even aquarium gift shops. I sorted them to the best of my abilities (none at all). My guess is that the majority of them are lemon, sand tiger, and reef sharks. Any insight that more experienced collectors could offer would be greatly appreciated. I think rows A & B are the same species and it's probably sand tiger. I presume rows C, F, and G to be lemon teeth (possible G13 should have been in row D? The longer I look the less sure I am). I guess row D to be some kind of Carcharhinidae. As for row E...I couldn't begin to guess, some of them are broken, I'm sure I have several different types of shark in that row. Thanks for taking a look!

    Hi y'all, I picked these shark teeth up from a local rock shop. The first is definitely a symphyseal/parasymphyseal tooth but I'm not sure if it's from an Eocene Parotodus or Otodus. I lean towards Parotodus because of the narrow crown and its significant curvature. The second I think is a Cretolamna biauriculata. The symphyseal is about an inch ~ 2 cm in length. @siteseer@Al Dente@MarcoSr@Untitled Parotodus sp.?: Cretolamna biauriculata?:

    I just purchased these sold as Megaladon teeth. I see some repairs I think. The big one I think is in almost perfect condition. The others seem small so not sure if they are Megaladon or another shark fossil? Any help is appreciated.

    Hey! I recently found these shark teeth fossils in Harleyville, SC. They come from Eocene strata. As best I can tell, I think they are Isurus praecursor and Brachycarcharias, but I’m no expert in identifying Eocene shark teeth...can someone either confirm or correct this? Thanks!!

    I recently acquired two Cretaceous lamniform shark teeth that I'm trying to identify. The first one, from Russia, was sold as Cardabiodon sp., but I'm curious if that's correct or if it's something else. The second tooth, from Texas, didn't come with an ID. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! #1 - Cardabiodon? sp. This tooth is from the Cenomanian of Russia and was found near Fedorovka Village, Tambov Region. The tooth measures 28.51 mm on the slant and 14.91 mm at its widest across the root. #2 - Unidentified This tooth is from the Lake Waco Spillway in Texas, from the Del Rio Formation, which I believe is Albian in age. The tooth measures 15.93 mm on the slant and 11.15 mm at its widest across the root.

    Made a recent trip to Greens Mill Run and got quite a few nice fossils, particularly fossil bone. Large fragment of a Pliocene baleen whale lower jaw bone, whale rib fragment, baleen whale tympanic bullas, unfused whale vertebral epiphysis, Chesapectens jeffersonius, other Chesapectens spp., clams, etc. All collected in-situ, all from the Yorktown formation. Also quite a few sharks teeth collected from gravel bars. Also one pic, the one with the belemnites lined across the top, is all in-situ Cretaceous stuff. Great trip, digging the stuff up was a nice change from all the gravel sifting haha

    Harleyville Eocene shark teeth

    fossil_lover_2277 posted a topic in Fossil ID

    Hi, so I recently dug up these shark teeth in Harleyville, South Carolina, and was wondering if anyone could help me ID them? I haven’t found much online in the way of Eocene shark teeth ID info...could they be a mix of Isurus praecursor and C. auriculitis? Also I’m assuming the bone fragment is from an archaeocete whale and the round thing is a musket ball. Thanks!

    Summerville Area Creek Trip

    fossilnoggin posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips

    staying in the area for a bit and got out to explore a creek near summerville with my son for a few hours. Steamy hot, but it was still nice to be out searching. Nothing sizable, and many beat up teeth, but we did manage a really nice small great white (next to the penny)? Also happy to see the partial Angustidens- our first in any condition.

    I found about 20 shark teeth in a creek in North Texas, and I’m having some trouble IDing the teeth in the attached photo. They are about 1” in length. Mako or maybe a White Shark? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Wanted to share my finds from a quick shark teeth hunting trip in Florida. Found a very nice Mako, definitely the coolest tooth I've found yet.

    Hi. It’s been over a year since I have been out hunting. I finally was able to get in a couple hunts in last week. I found the usual teeth and other fossils. It just felt so good to finally get back at it! Wanted to post some of the nicer items I found. Enjoy: 1 and 2. Scapanorhynchus texanus - Goblin shark 3 and 4. Cretolamna - Mackeral shark 5. Coprolite? I am so hoping I am right about this because it will be a first for me! @frankh8147 @The Jersey Devil 6. Bone - probably modern but here’s to hoping 7. What could have been. Haha this would have been a nice one 8. Nice little fish vert 9. I originally thought this was a pieces of a clasper but after looking at pictures I’m not sure it’s really anything. Maybe a enchodus fang piece? Thanks for any feedback!

    Hey there. First post so i hope i do this right and answer what's needed. My husband and i just returned from garden city/murrells inlet south carolina. We started our addiction for looking for teeth on the last beach trip and found a good amount of small teeth (smallest was actually 3mm long. No idea how i found it) but being new we have a bit of difficulty identifying some of our teeth. Could someone help identify these 2? My ring is for size reference. we found both the first day we arrived…late afternoon and in sand with a few shells but not shell bed and no digging/sifting (or whatever i do with my fingers to find the baby teeth) and kind of just happened upon them when scanning. Can anyone tell me what these are? Both slightly less than an inch. I appreciate your time and looking! I included pics of front, back and each individually. Both have serrations on both sides if it’s hard to see.
