Hello, Found this interesting tooth in Bakersfield, in the Round Mountain Silt formation on Dec 24, 2017. To me it looks like a pathological upper tooth from a cow shark (hexanchus). There seems to be a very small inclusion on the side of the tooth (second photo), but hard to say if it was there when the shark lost it. The tooth is about the size of an American penny coin. Any validating comments or ideas are appreciated.

So i mentioned I was going to do a Calvert Cliffs Annual calendar to highlight my best finds from each month. Well I took all the pics and sent it off to the printer they will be ready in a week. This way when i'm too old and senile to hunt anymore I will be able to flip through the old calendars to remember when things were found. So without further ado here is the first of many years to come!! JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER COVER

A nice upper shark tooth from the six-gill cow shark, from Chile. Possibly from a male. One cusp is missing (far right in first photo).

Went out for a quick hunt this afternoon. I found a sweet upper anterio-lateral cow, a barracuda tooth which is rare for the beach i was on, and my largest to date shark vert. Also i think i found some sort of munition the round ball beneath whale material it is made of metal and is mushroomed on one side. Not to shabby for a quick walk.

I received a mosasaur jaw in matrix and I found something is the side which I think is a cow shark(Hexanchus) because of the formation but it is broken in half, it is from Morocco.

My wife is having surgery in a couple of days so this was her last chance to get out on the water for a few weeks. The river was pretty angry today and we searched on a rising tide, we still had a good time though and I finally was able to find my first complete cow shark tooth. Angry river! Glad the water is warming! Total haul. My precious! Found this and I'm not sure what it is...I originally saw it from this side, had I saw it from the other side I wouldn't have even gave it a second thought. Maybe part of a drum plate? Here's the other side...looks like a rock.

Hi all, I have here a six-gill cow shark tooth (Hexanchus) from the Atacama desert. I do have a few questions about it: What is the species name? What position in the jaw is it? Exactly how old is it? (I'd like this to be as precise as possible; if you could tell me the precise stage it would be perfect!) Thanks for the help! Max

I was able to sneak in one more hunt with my wife before her surgery tomorrow, we had a beautiful day to go too! The only downside was that the water was extremely high (full moon and/or winds) and she had to spend two hours on a conference call for her work while I was free to search. For the most part we had the beach to ourselves, a couple of people wondered down and were curious about what we were doing so I gave them a quick lesson on the area...a few minutes later one of them came back with a smile on his face and asked if a bone fragment was a fossil. He was ecstatic when I confirmed it for him, his first fossil ever...and he added on to his collection with a few shark teeth as well. I sifted on and off and I found my second complete cow shark tooth, if I keep this up I may challenge @WAHAMA90 for the title of cow shark king (not likely). I've got a couple of unknowns, maybe geologic, take a look and see if you can identify them. Total haul: The "trip makers" My second complete cow shark tooth! Love these! First unknown, reminds me of the turtle stuff I have found up river at Purse. Side 1 Opposite side. Second unknown found by my wife, top (?) side. Side view. Bottom (?) side.

Found this yesterday at Brownie Beach, Maryland. I know it's from a Cow Shark, but I'm not sure about the specific kind. Any ideas?

This near perfect Notorynchus is a male, lower tooth.

No work, kids were in school, and warm temperatures predicted...time to head to the river again! My wife searched along the water's edge while I broke out the shark tooth sifter and dredged the first drop off in the water. It didn't take long before I found a nice Mako and feeling pretty good about it...then my wife yelled at me and motioned me over quickly, a beautiful Cow Shark tooth! We have found a few before but they always were broken, this was the first one that we found that was intact...definite trip maker! We both continued on finding the normal teeth for the area and decided to head home a few hours later, I hesitated and said I needed to find one more tooth before going...glad I did, I then found the second Mako! It's going to be hard for me to work all week without coming down with...*cough cough*...tooth fever! LOL! The total haul: Awesome Cow Shark! Makos I believe this is a Lemon, largest one I have found. A bone fragment that I found, thought it was pretty cool to see the hollow insides. Not sure what this is, My wife found it and thought it looked interesting. I think it is geologic but I told her I would throw it up here to see if anyone thought it was something:
-
A nice upper parasymphyseal cow shark
-
A nice Notorhynchus upper from the famous Lee Creek Mine.

Port Royal, SC Shark Tooth Hunt 10/15/16
Brett Breakin' Rocks posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello Everyone, Thought I'd share some finds from Port Royal, SC. I've had some free time lately, owing to a large storm with my first name on it .... so I decided to spend two days this week poking around to see what I can find. Here are the best of those trips. A few Hemi shark teeth and my first two (found on the same day) cow shark teeth ! Those were a surprise. A few fish teeth. Mako, g. cuvier, p. contortus There were a few finds I have questions about .. The tooth with the enamel and root, could that be another Tapir Tooth ? Tapirus Venensis ? The larger root looks like a toothed whale of some sort. These deposits are always river deposits with a mish-mash from Miocene to Pleistocene etc ... Cheers, Brett

I headed out bright and early as usual but found the water higher than normal. Combined with high waves and very little dry land I thought the day would be a bust. I cam across a short stretch of dry land that really paid off. This photo is the best of the day but there were about 50 more. The two large Mako's are just at and over 2 5/8.

I had a couple great days this past month. The image with two was a Sat. Sun. both half day trips but followed some good winds and really turned up some nice finds. Each paper towel represents a trip.

Good evening! I've been going through and reasearching some of my summer trip finds this year and I am hoping for a little help! I am trying to figure out what the teeth in this picture are. This website has been incredibly helpful and has provided me with some think I knows but a few of them have me really stumped. They were all collected in Virginia and North Carolina. PLease feel free to correct my educated guesses. The larger teeth have smooth edges. The only one that has some seration is the small, wider one at the bottom-middle of the picture. If you need any close up picture I can certainly provide those as well. I thought the ones on the left were sand tigers but because of the shorter, wider root and "fatness" of the dentin I am considering otherwise. Plus they are not flat with the little upturn toward the end that I always distinguish with sand tigers. I have no clue what the ones with the dark greyish and brownish grey coloring are. (This would be the one closest to the 2" mark and his friends the left at 9 and 10 o'clock. Everyone's help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks again and happy hunting!! Joyce
