From the album: Galveston Fossils
Spotted this one at night - best way to beat the heat during the Summer, but makes hunting much more difficult than it already is in Galveston. Tiger sharks appear to be less common than Carcharhinus; this is from the extant species: Galeocerdo cuvier. -
From the album: Galveston Fossils
Found 3 teeth this weekend trip. Galveston shark teeth are very hard to find (for me). These were all found on the main island (not Bolivar). The top two I believe are the sandbar shark (C. plumbeus) and the lower one is a tiger shark (G. cuvier). -

The tiger shark is still around today. Their unique teeth are very good at cutting through tough turtle shell - their favorite prey. Their teeth also happen to work on about anything else that can fit in their mouths. -

Hey all, I found these three teeth on a shark tooth hunt last week and a shark tooth hunt today in Charleston, SC. Just wanted to make sure I have the ID correct on them. Is the first tooth Galeocerdo mayumbensis or is it Galeocerdo cuvier? Is the second tooth Alopias grandis? Is the third tooth Alopias grandis? Thanks in advance for the help.

I purchased this tooth from Dakhla Bay, Morocco. It's 1.1 cm long and appears to be Galeocerdo. It was advertised as Galeocerdo alabamensis. However, I can't find records of that species from Morocco, or outside of the United States for that matter. I know that Galeocerdo eaglesomi exists in Morocco. This doesn't look like one to me. Anyone know what it might be? Thank you, Bellamy

We have our Secret Santa package all ready to go and just got done organizing our loose shark teeth. I found a bunch of STH material that I had set aside for a trade that never materialized. I totally forgot I had them so here they are. This is a package deal, I don’t want to split them up. Saves on shipping. This would make a cool Christmas gift for somebody and we aren’t asking much in return.

I biked off to my favorite Miocene shark tooth site again this afternoon and when I got there there was already a family with 2 young children scratching and sieving away at it. A bit of conversation showed that they were pretty new to it, so I gave them a few tips and gave the kids all the small Carcharias ones I was finding. Eventually they said goodbye and trundled off down the path. It wasn't even a minute after they were gone that I suddenly found a good sized Galeocerdo aduncus, my largest one to date. A couple of pieces were broken off the edges, but I managed to find both of them in th

I had some time to organize my tiger shark tooth collection. I started collecting them around two years ago with the goal of creating an evolutionary set. At this point, I think the collection is almost complete. It contains teeth from Galeocerdo and Physogaleus. I think I have all the major species, there are just a few localities that I'm missing (The north american G. eaglesomi is being troublesome to find). I put the nicer teeth into a riker display and made some labels for them. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Juuust shy of 6 inches .... Savannah Georgia
Brett Breakin' Rocks posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello Everyone, I've been busy with the kayak and doing some hiking to boot. Funny thing is .. you never know what you are going to just walk right up on sitting pretty after a low tide falls away. 3 mile-ish hike there and back with three miles of paddling .... (this guy was lying in the middle of it) Probably has been buried under the soft sand waiting just beneath the surface. Just shy of 6 inches I love it .. warts and all. In situ ... In hand .. Some really great Carcharhinus teeth lately ... they haven't been jet bl- 103 replies

Hi everyone! I recently acquired some dolphin & shark teeth, but they weren't ID'd so I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me out if possible. The first are a set of small dolphin teeth found in Hoevenen, Antwerp in Belgium (Miocene, 15 - 10 mya) And I was wondering if they could be ID'd to down to genus? I've read Eurhinodelphis is a common find and that there are quite a few more named and unnamed species to be found there. The other fossils that I hoped to be ID'd are 5 tiny shark teeth from Oosterzele (Lede format

Took a jaunt out to Shark Tooth Hill area, Ersnt Quarries to be specific, yesterday. Not too productive, but a few decent Makos, a little (7mm) fish vert, and the one inquired about here. It has the look of a Tiger shark of some sort, but is only 11mm across the root (cube it's on is 1" square). It has serrations on the cusp(let), distal and mesial sides. I don't recall the Galeocerdo Contortus I've seen having all three surfaces with serrations. It looks a lot like a Hammerhead, but I don't see serrations on the distal side on the crown on it. Can someone tell me what this is? Many thanks. C

Hello. I purchased some tiger shark teeth and was hoping to get some ID help. The teeth come from various locations in Florida. The largest tooth is 1.25 inches (~3.2 cm). All the teeth have complex serrations. I believe the first row (#1-6) come from Galeocerdo mayumbensis. I am unsure about the second row and think they may be either Galeocerdo cuvier or Galeocerdo mayumbensis. Below are front and back pictures of the teeth. Thanks for any help.
