Hello new friends, My family just returned from a trip to Edisto Beach South Carolina, USA. We were walking the beach between Jeremy's Cay and the Pavilion looking for shells and shark's teeth when we almost tripped over this specimen. Based on image searches, it appears to be an atlas vertebrae possibly from a Bison. I am interested in a proper ID and learning as much as I can about it. I am attaching images, but if you need more information or better images, please let me know. I really appreciate any help you can give.

Hi all! Been a while since I've had some time to go fossil hunting. I'm currently on vacation in South Carolina and finally took a trip to Edisto Beach. Even though I lived in Charleston for 4 years I never visited!. I found a few fossils, but I'm not sure what they are. I know one is obviously a shark tooth. I want to say some are fragments of mammoth teeth but I always get excited and think everything's an elephant tooth (I studied mammoths and mastodons in grad school). I'm not sure what the more rounded one is at all. My fiancee also found a piece of pottery but I'm not sure if anyone is into that or could tell me a time period of when it's from. Thanks for any help!

I know bone fragment ID's are usually left at just that "bone fragments," but I've seen some pretty amazing ID's here lately and this is my favorite little puzzle. It was found on Edisto beach which harbors Pleistocene mammals mixed with Miocene and Holocene aquatic creatures. More info on the location (including a list of mammals) can be found here: https://markgelbart.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/the-edisto-beach-fossil-site/ It's completely hollow and has what appears to be healed over bite marks. Even if it can't be ID'd, if anyone can confirm or deny if the markings are really bite marks I'd be over the moon. Furthermore, the bottom is concave. I have a photo of the bottom too if you need it, but I ran out of room for this post

I found this bone fragment out on Edisto Beach, SC. I've identified it as a bison hoof core, but I'm not exactly knowledgeable in the field so I'm guessing I'm wildly wrong. Its about 2.5 inches. I have more angles if necessary, the bottom is concave. This is just the max amount of photos I can upload in this post. Thanks in advance!

This is a fossils I found on Edisto Beach in South Carolina. To this point I've assumed it's a tooth but I'm not 100% due to the apparent lack of a root. I originally thought it belonged to some kind of ungulate but under further research it could possibly even be some carnivorous incisor? Either way the curiosity is killing me! Tell me what you guys think. I left the photos large to retain detail. It is exactly 1 inch in length, or about 2.5 centimeters And 3/8 inches in height, or about 1 centimeter If you need any other angles just let me know, its super hard to photograph.

A couple of weeks ago Dennis and I went back to Edisto Beach, S.C. to celebrate our 31st. wedding anniversary. The drive to the Island was an unpleasant mix of wind and heavy rain, but all that weather served to redistribute fresh fossil material on the beach! Once again, we had lovely weather and low tides at a convenient time of day for the rest of the week. The majority of the fossils found on Edisto Beach are Late Pleistocene, ca. 50,000-10,000 old. They are from an undetermined offshore unit, Charleston County, S.C. This very large vertebra was sitting right on top of the shell pile the morning after the big blow. I tried to remember to take in situ photos. It's so hard to not just snatch the finds up! And I remembered to use my special turquoise Magic Photo Cube @aerogrower We are not sure of the ID of the vertebra beyond it being a cervical one. Any ideas? And a view of each angle; My hunting buddy Dennis has developed quite an eye for fossils, and contributed to our antler collection in this photo. I have never found so much antler at one time! continued in next reply

Very new to fossil collecting. Found this on Edisto Beach in South Carolina while looking for shark teeth.

Is there enough left of this tooth to get an ID? The root is pretty much gone and any traces of serrations are smoothed away, but I would like to know if there are enough diagnostic features left to ID. I found it on Edisto Beach, S.C.. Thanks. edited to correct scale

We just got back from Edisto Beach in .S.C.. There are lots of Pleistocene fossils to be found on the beach and I picked up this piece which looks like a fragment of large tooth.? I was thinking sloth.? Scale is mm. I have included quick photos of the inside, outside, and both ends of the specimen. Any help would be appreciated.
