    Bone Valley dig sites

    Hi everyone, any recommendations for the best Bone Valley fossil digs? My goal like many others is to find Meg teeth. Ive done a couple tours on the Peace River with a guide (who will remain nameless, fairly locally famous one) and have come up empty. Ive done a lot of searching up and down the Manasota Key and Casperen area, no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Shawn

    Quick Calvert Trip

    Got out early to kayak the cliffs yesterday and was met with almost immediate regret. The water was far rougher and a bit higher than I was expecting. I drove and hour and a half to get to the boat launch though so I wasn’t just gonna turn around. My kayak was getting tossed around enough to make me nervous but the idiot I am I powered through. Getting to the beach I was met with another obstacle, seems a lot of sand had been kicked up on the beach so there was very little shell line. Only hunting for about 2 hours before the rain was supposed to start; I got a couple nice finds with the little Meg/Chub? and epiphysis disk making the trip worth it!
  3. Kayaked out of Plum Point/Breezy Point this morning to do so searching. Almost right away I found a nice little cow shark tooth and a big hemi, then just a little later saw a small Meg sitting right on top of the sand. Love the complete Atlas vert as well, my first in that position!
  4. Aquired a big megalodon tooth who seemed to have certain deformation/pathology to a certain extent. However, it looks like serrations has started to split off in two directions? I'm not familiar with this at all. Anyone who is more familiar with megalodon and shark teeth that can help?

    Venice FL meg hunting

    Had a great time diving this weekend in Venice FL for shark teeth! Wondering if anyone here has dove the “meg ledge” in SC & if you think it’s worth it? I see a lot of teeth come out of that area pretty worn down.
  6. Hi everyone! Im looking for some Nice quality megalodon teeth. I don't mind the location I've got a permafrost complete rare mammoth molar for offer. As wel as a rare collection of belgian megalodon teeth
  7. I was able to meet with Daniel and his parents at a pay site on 12/3/2022, and the finds did not disappoint, at least for me. First of all, Daniel and his family were amazing folks. His parents were probably closer to my age, maybe even a bit younger, haha. That said, Daniel’s playlist was spectacular, it was late 60s and early 70s soft rock, it made the trip extra special. This was my first time to this site, and clearly a different type of finding fossils. Working for them was harder than I expected, but not too difficult. Here is are my three favorite finds of the day. And thank you again Daniel, I look forward to another trip early next year.
  8. Okay so today I found a tooth that I’m not sure if it’s a Meg or a GW, and then an earbone (I know it’s an ear bone this time! ) that I’m not sure what it’s from. So starting with the shark tooth - the shape and size fits a GW, and the root, while slightly broken, also matches GW. However, it’s got a slight bourlette, which makes me think Meg. But I know that some GW’s have Bourlettes too. @Al Dente Any ideas? Comparison between today’s find (middle) and GW (right) and Meg (left): Now for the earbone. I know it’s mammal and not cetacean… but that’s it. It is 27mm x 14.5mm: @Shellseeker sorry to keep tagging you but you know ears!
  9. Hey y'all! I'm fairly new to hunting for fossils in Florida. I've done some searching for sharks teeth in Ponte Vedra Beach and Caspersen beach. I've also taken up to looking in some of the rivers and creeks for sharks teeth. Got a couple of the Suwanee River yesterday. I was just wondering if anybody had any tips or tricks in locating some teeth. Like what kind of things am I looking for when it comes to the terrain, sediment, sand, dirt, etc? I have myself a kayak, shovel, and a sifter. Even some general locations within like 2 hours of Jax would be helpful. Cheers
  10. Hey everyone, I have been looking for more Theropod dinosaur teeth, or good marine/reptile teeth. I have the following things i can give back - 5'35 inch Ashepoo Megalodon tooth with rare bite marks. - 4'13 inch Scaldicetus sp. Tooth from Chile - 3'85 inch Megalodon tooth from Belgium. - 1'84 jnch Blue colored 'hubell' meg from May River. For any interest, please private message me.
  11. Hi just wondering what this shell might be that is in the matrix of my Indonesian (Java) Meg tooth. @IsaacTheFossilManmight have an idea?
  12. I have so many frags that can't be identified beyond Otodus sp. because they are missing the corners where a cusp would be. At this stage, I just want to find an identifiable meg, even if it's a frag. I'm not even asking for a whole one (yet)...I don't feel like that's asking too much. Anyway, I found this one today and it is broken and worn, but I don't see a cusp. There is a chip, but not a cusp. Can this be identified or is it still just an indeterminate Otodus sp.? I am including a picture of it with a (worn) angustidens that I found today also, just to show the difference. Both were found in creeks in the Summerville area, just in different ones. It's a mix of formations there anyways.
  13. Hi Everyone! I'm willing to trade these 2 big boys from my personal collection. I'm looking for Megalodon teeth from more exotic Locations. Chile, Peru, Carribean for example. But also LC aurora and Mehherrin. Always open to other offers too. Tooth 1: Grey 6'05 from SC Small resto done to the lower sides of the restorations. Done professionally. But furthermore natural and practically perfect. Tooth 2: 6'40 coast Meg tooth from NC No restorations done. Almost half a kilo. Absolute monster.
  14. It took me a few hours to complete this video but I had a lot of fun making it. Enjoy https://youtu.be/5H1FugXcDNQ

    Megalodon repair

    I need some help. So I have a megalodon tooth that I accidentally dropped and the enamel started flaking off. I had applied some super glue and when I added some, it dripped down. I tried washing it off but it left a white crust and I was thinking about using some acetone but I think it might damage the enamel itself. What can I do.

    Trip for teeth

    Been a little while but made it out to my hole and found some goods. Would love some insight as to what the rib bone?? May be from. Enjoy and thanks for any input!! <;^><

    Potential Beast Tooth

    Found this tooth in a place where all the teeth are whiteish with lightning streaks (acidic). This "tooth" was found where several other teeth were found. E.g.. Megs, GW, and makos. All but a few show signs of sever breakdown. I included an additional pic of more teeth found there for reference. Thoughts??

    Possible chubutensis tooth

    So I have this tooth that I found up in south Carolina earlier this year, it's an amazing tooth as far as color goes, but does have "a small" bit of corner damage. But what I am wandering about it is (as you have seen in the title) I believe it could be a chubutensis tooth. I am no expert on this kind of shark but I noticed that the remaining corner looks to have an extremely small cusp if it is one at all. if somebody can tell please let me know, thank you.
  19. Hey guys! I headed out in Venice, Florida this weekend for the first time ever and went scuba diving for shark teeth. This was my first real trip looking for shark teeth and it was an amazing time. I went for a 3 dive trip but due to weather we only got two of the three dives for the day unfortunately. Although it was cut kinda short I had an amazing trip. I found 7 full Megalodon teeth and 14 frags of Megalodon teeth. My biggest being exactly 4" which I am still ecstatic for finding. I found a handful of other miscellaneous shark teeth and honestly I could of found hundreds and hundreds but I was really focused on finding the megs so I started passing them up as it was kinda hard to pick them up with the gloves I had on. Also pictured I have 3 pieces of Dugong bone and two pieces of whale bone. These bones where everywhere and I just didn't feel like collecting a hundred pounds of Dugong and whale bone. Also with the bones are a few assorted shells that I picked up while I was finding the teeth. If you have any cool facts about what I found of any identification for the miscellaneous shark teeth and the shells I found that would be amazing! I know the Sand Tiger teeth and the normal Tiger Shark teeth but I'm not sure what any of the other ones are. I think top right is a broken Hemi but I'm not positive. Let me know if you have any questions as I would be happy to answer! Parker

    Megalodon or Chubutensis?

    Recently aquired this tooth. Sold as a Chubutensis, but some thought it was a meg. Can anybody confirm it for me? Found in the clay from May River, Beaufort County.
  21. Hi all. Found my first Florida creek meg!! It's broken but holy cow, the feeling of when I saw it in the screen!!! I'll gladly take it. Went on a fossil hunting tour this past weekend on a creek near the Peace River. Found some awesome other stuff as well. Water was so low!!!

    First tooth outing this year

    Haven't had much time to go out recently but took off Sunday to search some private beaches near the Potomac River. Was worth the trip! Found alot of small teeth over the 2 hours searching with my lovely lady tooth seeker. Started off with a really good giant white shark tooth 2inches long just laying on the beach. Then walking another 20-30 yards I see this weird looking thick rock just offshore. Wasn't planning on getting it but I had the sand Dipper so I scooped up anyway. Was shocked! My first Meg tooth. It's broken off in the top right corner but I'm assuming it's a juvenile Meg? After about a hour things got really good. The tide was going out and left a little pool of water about 8inches deep on the shore edge with alot of rocks! Bigger the rocks bigger the teeth. So I start scanning. I see what looks like a 3.5inch sharp object. Ends up being a heartbreaker of half a Meg. Dang it!!! But still amazing find. Then something catches my eye 2-3ft away and it's a very nice 2inch white shark tooth. Found 4 other teeth all in rock bed all within 10ft of each other. I'm thrilled! Wish I could have found a full piece 4 inch Meg but something is better than nothing. Best part was just getting outside. Water was freezing though!! The girlfriend found a ton of small teeth, one amazing cow shark tooth, and a ray barb. I did get some not so nice grins over the Meg finds but next time I'm sure she will kick my butt. Over all was the best 2 hours spent in years finding teeth. One Meg, then another Meg, and I believe another 1-2 that are Meg frags. I believe the other 2 inch teeth are giant white shark or maybe makos? Thanks and happy hunting! Just posting some images of the finds below.

    Peace River Visit

    Got back out to the Peace River, FL yesterday. I usually try and get there by 0800 AM but with the cold overnight temperatures this week I delayed my start time until closer to 0900 AM to let the sun rise and warm things up a bit. I was glad I did so as I found the sun high enough to be warming up the spot I had targeted for the day. The morning was mostly a lot of the usual small miscellaneous shark teeth. I did find one small, and I mean small, alligator tooth. A partial small shark vert also turned up. Rounding out the morning were several nice Hemis, upper and lower, a nice size partial meg and a few extinct tiger shark. A few small pieces of deer antler were found mid-morning. After taking a lunch break and warming up in the sun I moved up river a short way and got on some larger gravel. A lot of Dugong pieces were coming up and I found several bones mixed in that I will need to research for a proper ID. This spot also turned up a partial tapir tooth crown, several pieces of turtle shell, an unknown limb bone and what I believe is a scapula. At least two the bones appear they could be toe bones. Throughout the afternoon various shark teeth continued to be found with each sift. A few pieces of mammoth tooth plates turned up as the day wore on. Some photos of the days finds to this point - Left side - Mammoth tooth fragment, three pieces of deer antler, unidentified limb bone (?), unidentified scapula. Right side - Extinct Tiger, partial Meg, Tiger, Hemis, Lemon shark, small vert, tiny alligator tooth, partial Tapir tooth crown, cup of miscellaneous shark teeth Close up of the vert, Meg, Tiger, Tapir and Alligator - Two pictures of the bones yet to be identified - possible turtle shell, couple of toe bones(?), possible partial ear bone, etc. Just when I was thinking it was about time to call it a day up came the below nice sized Cetacaen(?) Vert! The blue ruler is showing MM and the pink inches. Vert measures 3.25"L X 3" W X 2.5H. or 85mm L X 80mm W X 65mm H This vert made my day, one of the better ones I have found in the Peace River. Looking forward to my next visit!
  24. One of the newer teeth in my Megalodon tooth collection. I have been collecting Megalodon Teeth for some months. now. The tooth is around 4 8/16 inches big and has some restoration on the root. I love the colors and serrations! Show me your South American megalodon teeth!

    Juvenile/Baby Meg Tooth?

    Hi everyone! I recently acquired a collection of small fossil shark teeth from Jacksonville, Florida and was looking through all of them in order to identify them. This specific tooth really caught my eye since it didn't really match up with any of the identification resources I was using. From my understanding, megalodon teeth this small are very uncommon as only baby teeth and posterior teeth are this small, but the root, wide broulette, and blade look like they match a megalodon's tooth. Obviously though, this is just wishful thinking. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me identify this tooth and possibly teach me how to identify teeth such as this one. Thank you!
