Is anybody interested in a straight up swap, some of your matrix for some of mine? Mine's from Abbey Wood, Kent, England. Eocene shark beds, so 54MYA shark, Ray, pike, occasional turtle, croc and very rarely (although I’ve found a few pieces) mammal. It’s been wet sieved, dried out, and totally unsearched! I'm not interested in any money crossing hands, just matrix for matrix. Apparently my photos are too large to be uploaded but can email photos of my finds and the matrix. Let me know if you’re interested

Hey everyone, Recently took a trip with a buddy of mine down to South Carolina to search for megalodon teeth. We found many small teeth along with some decent sized ones. These were found in the general area between Charleston and Summerville. The ruler is imperial. Big thanks to everyone who offers their guesses Pictured are three of my biggest from the whole trip. What are they?

So I have posted a picture of this tooth before but I was recently showing it to a buddy and he said it looked like a chub but the cusps make me think angustidens. I want to know what you all think. I found this in an area that the formation is exposed in spots. The clay is a thick white clay speckled with tiny pebbles and other fossils. my geological maps that i used to find the location say that it is of Miocene age in the hawthorn group. However I am starting to think that there might be older clays exposed in the area. Please help me figure out what kind of tooth I have here, thank you.

Hi all! Thank you for your patience with a first time poster! I was recently searching for fossils in Florida, and came across these two specimens. Actually, I was searching for fossils at an estate sale in Florida, so no glory to these finds lol. I know nothing of their origins, although there was enough material that seemed local to make me think Florida, or at lease SE U.S. They are approximately 2" in length, and have an odd second cusp present. Anyone want to take a stab at the sort of shark? Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise.

Lots of large megalodon teeth up for trade
mattbsharks posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
I hope everyone is enjoying their summers! I have these megalodon teeth up for trade and more, all completely natural. The approximate measurements can be seen on the ruler and I can take more exact measurements upon request. Some over 5" and 2 of them are just barely under 6". They are all from the southeast coast of the United States. Some from north and some from South Carolina. IN RETURN: I'm very interested in high quality shark teeth as well as trilobites, crabs, lobsters, fish, shrimp, cannonball ammonite nodules, keichesourus, mammal teeth, and anything else cool you may have. For shark teeth open to all kinds but especially: isurus desori teeth, ginsu shark teeth, large Cretaceous or eocene teeth, cool khazakstani teeth, high quality large hastilis, Large unrepaired otodus obliqous teeth.

Hi. Found these teeth today in Dorset but the transportation box split open and mixed with the hammers! There are two teeth but are jumbled up. Any suggestions? I am going to try to superglue them together again but I’m not sure which belongs to which and may be missing pieces. Thanks in advance. I think they are both hybodontidiform shark.

Hello All, Found this forum while trying to locate resources to ID these two teeth that were found in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last week. I had great luck last week and found numerous teeth, including several nice great white teeth and a cow shark tooth. Both of the teeth in question here were found on the beach: one in a shell pile, and the other in the surf zone. I have tried to provide multiple picture angles, but using my phone the image quality is not the greatest. Hopefully, at least a few of the pictures are good enough to provide enough clues to what these teeth are from. Looks like I do not have room to post the additional photos of the teeth next to a size scale. I took many photos but deleted most because of very poor image quality. Here are the teeth measurements: Tooth 1 (blue/serrated): 2.2cm long by 2cm wide (at the root) Tooth 2 (dark blown/black color, worn): 1.5cm long by 1.4 cm wide Happy to answer any questions about these teeth. Just to elaborate a bit more if the images don't show it enough: Tooth 1 has significant curvature of the top of the root and even some curvature on the backside of the root (i.e. the tooth does not sit flat). This is primarily why I didn't think this was a great white tooth. However, serrations are present on the tooth and can be seen in the pictures. Tooth 2 is fairly worn and almost black in color. At least one side of the tooth near root was worn away/destroyed before I found it. Although small, this tooth has some weight to it. Hope this information is helpful. Thank you to any all all responses for taking the time to help solve my mystery! Tony

Thinking is may be a great white but have no idea. Found it a bunch of years ago and a buddy and I were debating what it actually is was hoping someone could help

Went fossil hunting in a creek near Gainsville, Florida and found a ton of teeth but this one stands out to me from the lemons and bull sharks that make up the majority of our finds. Noticed it has a notch at the top was wondering if it could be a hammerhead?

Found in Big Brook NJ - Any idea of what it could be?

Hello! Help please with identification if its possible. Width of square - 5 mm. Thanks!

Found this tooth fragment in Possum creek in Gainesville Florida. You can see serrations on both sides which almost makes me think Meg frag, but it seems way too narrow to possibly be. Though the thickness also makes me think Meg. Any ideas? Btw, sorry for terrible quality photos. Took em with my ipod.

Hi below are some gorgeous teeth found this week on a Cape Town beach. Please note not all teeth were found by me - some were bought from other lucky local hunters. I suspect the second large tooth might be a transitional Mako feel free to let me know what you think.Feel free to message me if you want any more info on the teeth. (Please excuse rusty calipers)

OK, so I'm a newbie and not terribly educated in fossil identification. I'm a librarian in Dallas, TX and we have occasional programs where kids can dig through some materials from the Aurora Fossil Museum in Aurora, NC. They collect it from the Aurora Phosphate Mine. So after the last program, I found these items and I'm wondering what they are. I'm wondering if the first one is a coprolite, because it kind of looks like poop! The four tiny teeth are interesting because it looks like 3 might be the same species and the thin one looks like it came from something else.

Not sure what shark(?) tooth this is, has very heavy root on a small (quarter inch squares) tooth Tiny fish(?) tooth, tough to photograph well with my equipment. Tooth is about 3mm long, less than 1mm wide Not sure what this might be. About an inch long

Hello, I went out collecting shark teeth at the beach near Knokke (West-Flanders, Belgium). The teeth found in Knokke are from Paleogene and Neogene period. I only took those which I think are still pretty good preserved for determination. I tried myself for putting names on it but I think I'll need help anyway Someone who can help me out with my sharkies? 1) Sylvestrielamia teretidens or Striatolamia macrota? 2) Physogaleus secundus 3) Brachycarcharias lerichei? 4) Sylvestrilamia teretidens? 5) 6) Lamna nasus or Odontaspis hopei? 7) Striatolamia macrota?

If better pictures are needed please advise. Tooth 1: (first 5 pics) Width=12.7cm and length=16.83cm Tooth 2: (pics 6-9) Width=8.9cm and length=10.8cm Tooth 3: (last 4 pics) Width=5cm and length= 7.62cm
