First South Carolina Fossil hunting trip
Lando_Calrissian_4tw posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Made my first fossil hunting trip to South Carolina, went to some areas around Summerville, thought I’d share pics of some of the fossils I collected! The best finds were some echovenator-like teeth, Angies, great whites, some intact sections of dugong ribs, and several associated pieces of a sea turtle shell. Felt like Indiana Jones exploring all the creeks trying to find productive spots haha. Fun trip, hope to return in the future!- 7 replies

Any thoughts appreciated on the following. I've been working with some material from the Old Church Formation, including previously undescribed sites. The following tooth is from that work. It has most of the characteristics of an early Hemipristis curvatus (Or Hemipristis serra, if you follow Muller). Muller reports two possible teeth that are close to this shape from the Old Church: early Hemipristis serra and Galeorhinus aff galeus. What follows are three photos. 1) The tooth I found and am hoping to identify, 2) a Hemipristis serra from Muller, 1999 and 3) a Galeorhinus aff galeus fro

I went out on a fossil hunt last Thursday to one of the streams I like to hunt at. It was only around 28 degrees F when I arrived so I didn't have the highest hopes. I ended up having my best day both quality and quantity wise! I found my first New Jersey hemi as well as my first tiger shark tooth. Also found a really nice sized sand tiger as well as one that would have been a monster if it was whole. Hope you guys enjoy!!

Please help ID any of these sharks teeth that were collected from the west coast of Florida (near Venice) this past weekend. Based on my research, the top two rows look like Sand Tiger and the bottom two look like Lemon. Would this be correct or are there any that look out of sorts?

Please help me ID these shark teeth that were found on the west coast of Florida (near Venice) over the past weekend. My belief is that the top row could be Great White and/or Megalodon (very nice serration on the largest/first one), the second row is either Bull or Dusky, and the third row is Hemipristis (Snaggletooth). As for the fourth row... the jury is still out. I am most intrigued by the third/tiny one (from left to right). It looks different from anything else I have ever found. Very compact, lots of detail, and oddly shaped. Any ideas???

We recently were able to take a trip to the Miocene of Virginia along the Potomac River. We weren't sure what the conditions would be, as the last time we were here the tide was extremely high limiting the length of the beach and how much was accessible. When we got to the beach we could tell it would be a good day, the tide was pretty low with still a couple hours to go before low tide, and we could see long stretches of beach in both directions. As we walked I wasn't having to much luck, but my wife who trailed behind me was finding some good sized hastalis teeth that I had missed. Once we g

Took a trip down to Calvert County this past weekend and did some searching around the Matoaka Cabins and just outside of Flag Ponds Park. Think I did pretty well for a two day search!

Are these sans-tigers or Hemipristis? Found in the Calvert formation. Note the different numbers for different teeth.

I Was Looking at Something Else! Calvert Cliffs 9/22
HemiHunter posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
My daughter had off from "school" Wednesday, so we took advantage of the opportunity and perfect weather to hit the cliffs for a few hours. After several days of rough water and winds, the Bay was calm with a favorable tide and pretty empty of boat traffic as you'd expect on a weekday. Arriving around 11:00 a.m., still a few hours before low tide, we thought we had the place to ourselves. But we soon came across the fresh boot prints of another collector who had already been through looking for the low-hanging fruit at the high tide line. A little disappointed, but undeterred, we went about- 14 replies

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

From the album: Huge Big Brook Fossil Collection
Mostly the crow shark teeth, goblin, mackeral were collected from big brook. Maybe some others but about 25% isnt big brook. -
Got out with my kids to Calvert Cliffs over the weekend for some attempted crabbing, general beachcombing and fossil collecting. Water was pretty clear without a lot of wave action, so patience was required to find anything decent in all the sand. We also had to keep our eyes out for the abundant sea nettles that have come in. Anyway, we had good success, with a couple of really nice snaggleteeth I pulled out of the wash about 10 minutes and 10 feet apart (two of a kind!). I had just been talking to a couple of collectors right in that spot lamenting poor hunting that day--so right time, ri

Too cold and rainy to fish (no speckled trout yet for me, just out of season rockfish, huge cow nosed rays, and stiffback perch). So went tooth hunting. Unfortunately the kids(?) had dug a giant hole in one of my favored spots, so I ended up hunting one of the kids' favored spots. A hard grayish blue clay area which is usually too hard and unproductive for me, but when walking past I saw a black shiny object glinting in the sun; looking closer I noticed a fine serrated edge and digging around it soon discovered just a shard from a megalodon (which I had never noticed in the creek before).

Extant Hemipristis elongata shark tooth from Atlantic ocean?
Dino9876 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello, I have another tooth from my collection that I am not sure about. For me it first looked like a very clear case. The shape of the tooth clearly indicates the snaggletooth shark (Hemipristis elongata). I was 100% certain with the ID, the teeth are almost unmistakable. The only flaw: The tooth was found on the coastline of the Atlantic between Florida and Virginia (unfortunately I don't know the exact location). Over 10.000km far from the distribution area of this shark. My question to you: is my ID correct? And if so, how can something like this happen? -
I took another bike ride up to my favorite shark tooth site today and spent a couple of hours scratching at the outcrop with my trusty Swiss Army knife. Didn't do bad at all this time around and was particularly happy to have found my first Hemipristis serra tooth Hemipristis serra 12mm. Carcharias acutissima 15 & 25mm. Sea bream Sparus cinctus. The largest single tooth has a diameter of 7mm. and the partial plate is 16mm. long. Anybody have an idea what the following 2 teeth might be?

STH Shark Teeth for Non STH Shark Teeth
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
We know that fossils are not the priority for people at the moment. They are not for us either but I have found a good amount of stress relief in going through a large donation we got. The material is all from STH and we have enough to make a trade. It was part of the donation actually. Extra fossils for sale or for trade to improve our collection. I would like to avoid sales or doing smaller trades just for shipping reasons so I decided to put the trade stuff out as one lot. Given the current state of the world, consider this a post corona virus trade offer. We would probably not ship fo -
Hi guys I was in a rush but can take better pics at a later time, so far my tentative IDs are hemipristis Serra and isurus praecursor for right and left of 1st pic but no idea on the others (maybe galeocerdo In the middle though) those id’s were all of the top of my head so no real idea

Hello, I saw this tooth for sale on the Internet. Unfortunately the photo was very bad, so I tried to creat a vector graphic. I'm not sure if the tooth belongs to a hemipristis or a blue shark. Can you help me with this? The tooth measures a little over 1cm to the tip and was found in Indonesia (Pacific ocean). Best regards from Germany!
