Hello everyone Couple of unusual finds for me from diving in the Cooper River, near Charleston, SC. This river cuts through Oligocene to modern deposits so it can be tough to ID finds. The first looks like a Castoroides sp? broken beaver tooth? The shark tooth has a U shaped root, no serrations on the blade, and has cusps that appear to have a gap between the root and blade. Looks like a cusped P. Benedeni or possibly an upper lateral sand tiger (based on looking through elasmo.com). Doesn't look like an O. Angustidens or A. Grandis to me? I've seen a few cusped Benedeni's identified on the forum and was curious if that is what I found Thanks for looking

This peculiar looking tooth is a parasymphyseal benedeni from Antwerp, Belgium. This little tooth is one of my favourite personal finds and is also one of the rarer pieces in my collection.

I started the 3 inch + Mako club a few years ago and now have the winning ticket in order to create the 3+ inch Benedeni Club after 2 decades of searching. I'll go ahead and save you the song and dance on how RARE a Benedeni this size really is. If you happen to have a 3+ or larger Benedeni, please feel free to post your picture and join this very exclusive Club. Measures: 3.03''

I have this tooth, and I was wondering if it is a false mako tooth. I haven't really seen anything like it in my guide except for a false mako.

Here's an oddball tooth from the STH Bonebed. It is something I bought a few years after starting to collect fossil shark teeth, thinking it was a typical Parotodus lateral. After seeing others over the years, this tooth began to look more strange to me. Maybe 5-6 years ago, isurus90064 and I met up in Bakersfield and I showed him this tooth and he thought it was weird too. A couple of weeks ago, we started talking about it again. A friend just took a couple of good photos of it for me. The root isn't as thick as we might expect for Parotodus but some Miocene and older specimens are not as bulky-looking as the Pliocene teeth.
