Hi Im posting to see if anyone recognizes these.. rocks/teeth Found both on the Atlantic coast and I’ve always wondered what animal they may have come from. They are smooth and have a different heft or weight than any rocks I’m familiar with. One in particular has deep striations from tip to top. Both ends are chipped off and the interior is much lighter. I tried to take pics of front back and ends for both. Could the black outside be enamel? Any guesses are welcome and thanks

Can you find fossilized shark teeth on the beaches of South Africa?
CapeCarter posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi there TFF! I am really hoping somebody here might have some information in regards to hunting fossilized shark teeth in South Africa. The only location I have been able to dig up (no pun intended) online is on Milnerton beach however I am wondering if anyone has had any luck on other beaches here in South Africa. Thank you in advance! -

Wifes Birthday Monday Looking for Meg/Angy and other decent fossil Location for Weekend Trip
mushroom_toy posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
My wifes birthday is on Monday so trying to surprise her with a 3-4 day weekend trip. Looking for locations in the southeast. Can go as far down as ft. Lauderdale area or top of nc on the north side. We have been to Edisto and Summerville areas before and unfortuantely just havent gotten on top of any good spots. She really wants a whole Meg tooth or nice Angustiden tooth as well, were used to mainly finding fragments in the Savannah area. I wouldnt mind that but would love to add some more bones/and or fragments to our collection as well. I do have a small john boat with a 4 horse outboard this year so have a lot more accessibility as far as the Edisto river goes if thats what I decide on. Looking for a trip that will hopefully not break the bank, but be productive and most of all be a nice relaxing trip where I can spend some quality time hunting with my wife!. if anyone has any suggestions please send em my way! We can use all the help we can get haha. -
Hi everyone! I am new here. I found many shark teeth this past weekend in the Venice Florida beach area. I was able to identify all but these five teeth. Can anyone help me? I had not been to look for shark teeth since I was a kid and had forgotten how cool it was! I am hooked now and I want to go to the Peace River and the Carolina beaches to look for some Megaladon teeth! Thank you so much for any help you can give me! Jodi :-)

I thought these were horse teeth, but after some poking around I'm thinking they're bison teeth. Please, help with identification and geological era. I'm starting with photos of the two that look like bone, in what stage I don't know, but do have three more (one large and two small) that I believe to be completely fossilized teeth from the same animal. All were found in Bucks County, Carversville exactly, in or near a creek bed at the bottom of a ridge of cliffs, which, we've been told, is a very special geological location where finds are not typical of the surrounding area. Because I could not wait to get another photo with a point of reference for size, I must include my best estimation from memory: the larger piece is approximately 2" long and 1/2-3/4" deep and not quite 1 1/2" wide The smaller of the two pieces can be referenced by the larger, but is about the size of my index finger from the first knuckle to top. I'll wait to post the photos of the possible complete fossilized pieces, I'm sure I will need to be more diligent including all needed info in the photos I choose to post. For now, I hope this is enough, do tell!

Okay folks, Thank you so much for your responses/help! I have attached 3 new pictures, one with the chewing surface and hope they are clear/bright enough to help you identify them better. Could you also give me some idea of how old they are? I have read that the shark teeth we collect can be anywhere between 3M and 23M years old...are these from a similar period of time? You guys rock (fossil joke-kinda) and I appreciate all of your comments. Let me know if these new photos help! Mark I live on the barrier island outside of Jacksonville, FL and love to find fossilized shark teeth, but I found this fossilzed jaw fragment with two teeth imbedded in it on the same beach in Ponte Vedra. I have no idea what they are from, so I'm hoping someone here can help? I've attached three views & hope they help. I'm excited to find out! Mark
