This bone was found on the beach this morning. It was at the shoreline. I’ve included photos but this is my first post so please let me know if other information is needed. The piece measures 7-10cm. Clearly it is very worn so I don’t know if identification is possible. Any ideas are welcome and appreciated

Hi folks. I've had some of these for a while and have tried to ID them using the resources referenced by the forum. Did not want to post without trying to see what I could ID first. Appreciate the help! Also unsure of the ages if anyone knows. Guesses for Image 1 from left to right. Locality, Myrtle Beach, SC Row 1: Tiger? (It is thicker than the rest); Great White; Auriculatus?; Requiem?; Sand Tiger Row 2: Sand Tiger; Bull?; Lemon; Short-fin Mako?; White Shark?; Mako? Guesses for Image 2 from left to right. Locality: Potomac River, VA Row 1: Requiem Shark?; Snaggle?; Big Lemon? Row 2: Hammerhead; ??; Mako; Lemon? If I stare at the small ones too long they all start to look like lemon shark teeth. A friend told me the tooth in photo one, row one right next to the penny is a baby meg, but I think it's too small.

I bought this 4.8” tooth and it was advertised as being likely a giant chubutensis tooth, but said it was a Megalodon to be on the safe side. Can anyone here positively identify it? This was found in a river outside of Summerville, SC.

I was able to get down to Summerville and North Charleston twice this month to do some creek and surface hunting. This trip produced some of the prettiest teeth I have collected so far! Found my largest Hemi and a fabulous Angi. I'm loving the colors on these teeth. Also found some other fossils, shark vertebrae, Dugong rib bone piece, etc. I am officially addicted to this new hobby. Trying to figure out when I can get back down there!

Hi everyone, I’ve posted here before and have been absolutely amazed at everyone’s collective knowledge and help. So I got a friend into fossil hunting and she recently went to South Carolina hunting creek beds. I like to help her with identifying her finds but this one has me stumped. I told her to post here but she hasn’t and said I could do it for her so here ya go……..really curious what people think. Thanks so much for any help.

I'm trilobite collector and start collecting megalodon teeth. This piece size about 5.2" I'm not sure it is real or fake. It looks shiny. Thanks a million!.thumb.jpg.73784c0895f121bc7ff3f606f1925106.jpg)

Newbie (but addicted) needing help with shark teeth id from south myrtle.
SuchAClassicGirl posted a topic in Fossil ID
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.

Hi all, I found this hollow Great White tooth this morning when out on a hunt in Charleston, SC. Is this an example of a tooth that was in the back of the jaw and was not fully developed? Or is there a way to even tell that? I have found several Great White’s with missing roots and this one feels different - it is much lighter and feels more fragile. Any information is appreciated and happy to post more pics if needed. Thanks!

Found this fossil on the beach, any idea what it could be?

I am back from my trip/vacation/holiday/whatever-you-call-it. I went to Hilton Head Island South Carolina USA and was unsure how the shark tooth hunting was gonna go. Turned out much more successful then I thought although the largest tooth is only 12mm about half an inch. It’s a lot harder to ID these than I thought. I tried grouping them but am pretty sure I made some mistakes. I could use some help to figure these out. And I know many are too worn to ID. Couldn’t find a complete ruler so I just cut out a 1 cm by 1 inch piece of paper for scale. Let me know if more pictures are needed or if you need any other information. Here are all the finds. group 1 is missing the root but seem wider than the others. group 2, most don’t lay flat since they have a very large root. Group 3 is like group 2 only these all have serrations. Group 4 are thin with small roots although I can’t tell if the root is just very worn. The tooth in number 5 I would put with group two only it looks like it grew around a piece of something while the shark was alive and was wondering if this is true or not group 6 has a thicker blade and smaller root. 7 is angled, short, and serrated. 8 is a fish vertebra and was wondering if you can tell anything else from it. 9 are all slanted this one I’m sure I messed something up I can’t tell which ones are angled because of the species or because of mouth location. And group ten I believe are too worn to identify but this forum has lots of very knowledgeable people so I put them in, in case any can be identified. Thanks for any help. Edit: I know the teeth can turn black fairly quick but how quick is it? The teeth I found vary in amount of blackness which I assume to mean lighter ones are more recent but to turn fully black how long does it take? Thousands of years? hundreds of years? Decades? Less?

Here is an avian coracoid that I found on the beach in South Carolina. It is from an unidentified off-shore formation that regularly deposits Pleistocene fossils on the shore. I am hoping that someone @Auspex can ID it to genus perhaps. Thanks for looking.

Hey All, I found this today while looking for sharks teeth in Charleston, SC. I am guessing this is a knobbed whelk, is that correct? How do I know if it is fossilized or not? Also, for anyone who knows the area, are these rare in the greater Charleston Area? I know for all the hours I have spent looking for teeth at this particular spot I have never seen one fully intact. Thanks in advance!

Hey All, I found this vertebra today on the beach in Charleston, SC. Can someone help me ID it? Is it from a Dolphin? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I know that there is a lot of dredging going on in the Charleston harbor right now. Does anyone have resources you could share about where I may be able to hunt these dredge piles? Are they dumping on beaches or anywhere accessible? Is there any schedule to them? Unfortunately, I no longer live in SC or else I would do more first-hand scouting/observing. But I plan to take a trip down in mid-May to see what I can find. I have never hunted dredge piles, but have heard of people having success at such sites. Thanks in advance!

New member to the forum and thank you. Me and my wife are looking into Summerville, SC to go shark tooth hunting. We have seen some places along Chandler Bridge Creek and seen a dirt road that runs all along the creek. Are there any other accesses to this creek that is public? But probably gonna check out other creeks around there and any experiences and help is much appreciated.

Here in South Carolina you can't wade down the creek without having to stop every few minutes to shake these big ones out of your boots! https://www.thestate.com/news/nation-world/national/article249836798.html
