I have been working on sorting teeth I've collected from the Chandler Bridge Formation (Oligocene, ~28 MYA) from one site by species. I've not put adequate time into learning how to differentiate the smaller teeth such as these, and am working on filling those gaps in my knowledge. Here I have isolated 6 "distinct" types of teeth that I am attempting to put a name on. Apologies on the photo quality, I was in a bit of a rush, hopefully there is enough detail to understand the general characteristics I am attempting to distinguish between. 1. Wide root, flat and, typically, curved to one side. Is serrated from where the enamel meets the root all the way down onto the blade. 2. Wide thin root, thin straight blade, serrations. 3. Almost identical in shape to number 2, except straight blade with no serrations. 4. Larger teeth in general compared to the others, curved and straight blade with nos errations, has enamel "wrinkles" similar to serrations near the root only. 5. Very stubby root (horizontally compressed and somewhat more bulbous than the other teeth). Long, straight blade with no serrations. 6. Smaller in general than the other teeth. Serrations along root, but not on the blade. Blade is slightly curved. These are my proposed identification of the teeth: 1. Reef/Requiem shark upper teeth of some kind 2. Unknown 3. Lemon shark lower lateral teeth 4. Lemon Shark upper teeth 5. Lemon shark lower central teeth 6. Requiem shark lower teeth

Two micro items likely from the Oligocene Chandler Bridge Formation of South Carolina. Item 1: ~1.2mm long, ribbed on one surface. A grinding plate? Item 2: 3.8mm long, seems to be capped with irregularly-spaced hollow cylindrical teeth. a chunk from the middle of a fish pharyngeal plate? amphibian? tagging @digit Thanks, all!

Found this in likely Oligocene sediments. V-shaped in cross-section, about 7 "teeth" per side, tapered to one end, 2mm long. A jaw? A tiny claw? A piece of fishy bone?

I know its small but I found this tooth a while back and had forgotten about it so while looking through my trips smaller teeth I found 3 Carcharoides totuserratus which i didn’t know were rare until watching one of blackriverfossils videos. So I was wondering what kind of tooth this is and if anything rare? The last photo is the Carcharoides totuserratus I was talking about.

Found this Croc tooth out of the Chandler Bridge formation in a retention pond. It's the only Croc tooth I've found somewhere and it's one of my favorite finds for sure. -
Wondering if anyone could ID this tooth from a south carolina creek. I found it a while back during a creek walk im more or less new to fossil hunting but im hoping its a worn down Parotodus benedini tooth. thanks

Made a pitstop in Summerville, literally; and found this while walking a creek. Infant Angustiden or something else? In Utero?? Never seen one this small. Thanks

Found this cool complete little bone while screening some gravel in a Summerville creek. Seems familiar but not enough to hazard a guess. Thanks for looking!

The Mako tooth design hasn't changed much in ~ 30 million years. The left tooth is the modern species I. oxyrinchus, the right one is I. desori (from Charleston, SC, 2 1/8" slant, Oligocene). Some would say that I. desori is the same as the modern species. -
I have so many frags that can't be identified beyond Otodus sp. because they are missing the corners where a cusp would be. At this stage, I just want to find an identifiable meg, even if it's a frag. I'm not even asking for a whole one (yet)...I don't feel like that's asking too much. Anyway, I found this one today and it is broken and worn, but I don't see a cusp. There is a chip, but not a cusp. Can this be identified or is it still just an indeterminate Otodus sp.? I am including a picture of it with a (worn) angustidens that I found today also, just to show the difference. Both were found in creeks in the Summerville area, just in different ones. It's a mix of formations there anyways.

Hello, my mom found this in a creek in Summerville. The formation present here is the Chandler Bridge and Ashley formations. I believe from the late oligocene. Does anyone know what it is?

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.

Hi everyone, this believed to be "tooth/bone" was found in the Dorchester Creek / Ridgeville area.

Hi everyone, need help with some identification here. The first photos of the brown looking tooth was found in Edisto, while the bone you see was found in Dorchester Creek in Summerville.

Understanding the Formations of Charleston and Dorchester Counties, SC
cthamon posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Okay, I posted this yesterday and I’m not sure if it was that it was too long winded, in the wrong spot, or both. So, I will attempt to boil it down. There was a post on this topic in 2011 but I feel like there’s certainly more knowledge on this now. 1. What formations are megalodon teeth coming from? The plausible ones are the Parachucla (22ma), Marks Head (18ma), and Goose Creek Lime (3.5ma), all within the umbrella Hawthorn formation. The CofC Museum lists almost every specimen as coming from the Goose Creek Lime, yet the hottest spots at best have the Raysor formation(2.5ma) exposed. 2. Are said spots only good underwater where the river has cut through to the former three? 3. Is material between the Marks Head and Goose Creek era extant in any areas? People have suggested that the size of some teeth would place them in the middle of these two time periods, unless there’s reason to believe they’re reworked. 4. Wanting to see pictures of the formations mentioned (excluding Marks Head which is only subsurface), in addition the Wando and Chandler Bridge formations if anyone has pictures lying around.

A quite weathered tooth that I can’t ID. Found in Summerville, SC.

Trying to figure out what this tooth is exactly, still working on my identifying knowledge. First thought was young Meg but not sure
