I found this the first week in August. I believe it is a Bull Shark, if so the biggest I have by a long shot?

Hey all, I wrote up some more on our recent paper on the giant dolphin Ankylorhiza (formerly Genus Y) from the Oligocene of South Carolina - this is a bit more interesting as it covers the anatomy, adaptations, feeding ecology, and evolutionary implications of the discovery. Hope you can give it a read! https://coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2020/08/ankylorhiza-tiedemani-giant-dolphin_9.html

Hey all, I found these 3 teeth and vertebrae on a hunt this week and was hoping to get an ID on them since I do not recognize them. Any help would be greatly appreciated! If a need to post any other pictures please let me know!

Hi, I found this tooth in South Carolina earlier this summer and was wondering what it was, right now I’m thinking desori or bene(I’m hoping its a benedini, but I don’t know how realistic that is)

Hey again all! These were found along Battery Creek in Beaufort County. The identifying characteristic for me is the smooth beige inside but I haven’t a clue what they might be. Any insights would be helpful. Thank you!

Found near the Savannah River, I was thinking it looks like it could be a rib or shin bone. Does anybody have any idea what it could be?

My daughter found this at a beach in South Carolina USA . The ruler is in inches that is all I had. Please help us figure out what this is.

I am new to this forum, but from what I have gathered the formations present in Summerville are the ones I have tagged. I have found several shark’s teeth in the bank of man made flood ditches in Summerville SC. I found these three teeth that just seemed different. I would be thrilled to learn more about these and potentially be able to ID them. If there’s any issues with the pictures, I’d be happy to put another one up to be more clear. Thanks in advance!

Want to read more about the giant dolphin Ankylorhiza (="Genus Y")?
Boesse posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey all, Since COVID began and I've had more free time I've been getting back to blogging, and now I'm regretting taking such a hiatus since I started here in Charleston. I've written the first of a 2 or 3 part series of semi-technical blog articles that most here should understand and appreciate on our new study on the giant dolphin Ankylorhiza tiedemani (formerly known as Genus Y). The first post is about the background to our paper, and the second one will be a bit more on the anatomy, feeding behavior, locomotion, and evolutionary implications of Ankylorhiza. Take a read here: https://coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2020/08/ankylorhiza-tiedemani-giant-dolphin.html

Hey guys, I’m Logan and I’m brand new here. I just got home from a dive in mingo creek down in South Carolina. It’s about An hour ride from the beach and it’s black water. I found 3 teeth that I would like to identify with y’alls help. Tooth #1 Tooth #2 Tooth #3 I’m thinking there bison but again I’m new to all of this. Also I’m sorry if the pictures aren’t perfect. Hopefully I’ll find more stuff to practice with on my next dives.

Let's say I've theoretically found an active construction site in Summerville, South Carolina that I would like to go fossiling in. How would I get permission to go and poke around there? What days of the week would nobody be working there? Also, what would be the best way to begin looking for teeth at a land site? I have some experience in the Summerville creeks, but have no clue where to start here. I would really appreciate some input from those of you who happen to be knowledgable about this kind of thing.

Got a pretty decent haul out of Summerville on Tuesday, finally found a creek spot that was halfway decent. Lots of little broken Meg chunks, but the big tooth remains elusive. I did find a nice angustidens, though, which is in excellent shape for a creek tooth of that size. I put the specimens I could use some help identifying in the upper right hand corner of the first picture. I know the top two are mammal teeth of some sort, pretty sure the right one is either horse or camel, but I have no clue about the one on the left. Below them are what I assume is the remains of some sort of coral, and on the bottom is a small mystery tooth in matrix and a strange piece of fossilized something. I would really appreciate it if any of yall could let me know what some of this stuff is. I plan on heading back to this site tomorrow or the next day because we just had a decent storm blow through, so stay tuned!

Hi everyone, fellow Charlestonian here. I've recently got back into shark teeth hunting and have been to a few locations such as behind the YMCA and in those creek branches round there. I am posting here to ask everyone if they have any good locations they would share. I know this community is tight lipped and secretive when it comes to this, but I was hoping there would be a few individuals who didn't mind helping someone actually find some good finds. I get most sites are on private property or the individual has connections to get onto quarries (i.e. Black River Fossils), but I know there are viable locations out there that are not well known too. Thank you.

Please help identify this partial tooth found at Cherry Grove Beach in North Myrtle Beach, SC. This was originally passed off as a Squalicorax, but after further review, it seems heavier and the part of the root that is complete seems different. Teeth may be posterior. Thoughts?
-
I have here a tooth from Charleston, SC, a river find. I've narrowed it down to a white shark, and based on this guide I'm torn between Carcharodon Plicatilis and Carcharodon Carcharias. I'm leaning towards the former. Could anyone please provide confirmation?

Any idea who this came from? Length across middle is 3 ½”; Length across top is 4”; Length across bottom is 3” x Depth of 1 ½” x Width that varies between 2 ¼” and 2 ½” (measured approx 1” in. On either end). Weight is 245 grams (Once again, I can't upload the MAIN shot, topside, so, this one may be more difficult to ID)

I need help identifying this fossil I found in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was located on the beach.

What kind of bone might be, and from whom did it come? Length is 3 ¼” across top and 1 ¼” across bottom. Depth is 1 ½”. Weight is 60 grams (have another side view shot, but can't seem to upload it...)
-
Might this be an armadillo scute or partial turtle shell - or, just a #&!$ rock?!??: Approximate Measurements: Length across top is 3” Length across bottom is 2 ½” x 2 ½” Width x ½” depth. Weight is 135 grams.
-
Hoping this is a big a_ _ Coprolite??! (and NOT a darn rock. LOL!) Approximate Measurements: Length 6 ½” x Width across fattest end is 3” (with a 7 ½” girth wrapped around) and 1 ½” across smallest end (w/ a 4 ½” girth). Weight is 610 grams. (Dang it. Have a pic of the backside as well as the opposite end tip, but, they aren't uploading for some reason?)
-
Measurements: Length is 3 ¾” across the longest side and 3” across the shorter side x slightly less than 3” wrapped around the thickest part of the girth and 2” around the tip x 1” W. Weight is 60 grams (have A 4th pic of the other tip end, but, couldn't get 'er to upload...)
-
Might this be a Dire wolf or sperm whale tooth? Sloth class or just a plain's rock ;)

This guy measures 4"L x ¾" and 1" crosswise on the thicker end, and ⅝" & ⅜" crosswise on the smaller end x 4 ½" around the girth on the thicker end x 1 ½" around the thinner tip.
