Took a trip down to Calvert Cliffs today at Brownies Beach, and found this beauty. I covered a lot of ground in remote areas, but found this towards the entrance on my way out. Who knows how many people walked by it? Someone on the beach identified it as a baby megalodon tooth, but I want to hear your guys' thoughts! PS it's about 1.3 inches. Also cool to notice how the colors changed from when it was wet to dry.

Finding Squalodon and Angustidens While Shark Tooth Hunting
MakoMeCrazy posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A few weeks ago a few friends and I decided to head to SC to see if we could find some Angustidens and we were quite successful! The video below shows our haul from the day. Thank you for watching and please subscribe to my YouTube channel for more videos. Please watch the video is 720p HD or 1080p HD for better quality. Thanks! Please don't message me for the location of the site because I will not tell you.

Hello A few days ago I asked about a Carcharodontosaurus-tooth, and I was really excited to hear it was real. Someone was kind enough to suggest running considered purchases through this forum first. So before I throw money after a megalodon-tooth, I'd like to have an input from someone who knows 'slightly' more about this than I do. Seeing as how common megalodon fossils seem to be, I don't anticipate it to be fake. But then again, the only thing I can really say about it is - that it has no barcode printed on it, and it's definitely not made of plastic. It's heavier than I expected. Atleast a few hundred grams. It's 110 mm (4,3 inches). So I'll have to rely on more skilled eyes than my own. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! Today I enjoyed my second day in a row with a free afternoon, so I did a little kayak exploring for some shark tooth sites. I wasn't having much luck on the new beaches, so I headed to an old faithful beachhead containing loads of dredge spoil. I found several big teeth right off the bat and the finds never slowed down. I only had about an hour and a half of low tide to walk around, but I feel I made the best of it. I had the foresight to pack my phone in a drybag, so I snapped some in-situ shots. Enjoy -

Set out for a two day expedition with my girlfriend down to Westmoreland SP to see what we could find. The first day was ok, finding a lot of broken teeth and some bone. The second day we cleaned house and my girlfriend found her first Meg. This excites me because hopefully this will keep her motivated to come fossil hunting with me haha. She really had a great day finding a couple beautiful makos, a meg, and a sweet upper sevengill tooth. If anyone could help me identify this chunk of bone that'd be great. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Greetings, This is my first post and I'm not even sure this is the right section of the forum to actually post this but hopefully the amazing community on this site will be able assist me in some nature. I am a graduate student who is working on a project relating to c. megalodon and their global distribution and I have hit a bit of a wall finding data. While I do have well of samples to begin with, mostly from the US Atlantic and Pacific coasts and Pacific South American coast, what I am lacking the diversity of localities that the project requires. What I am hoping is that members of this community can either contribute samples to expand my data set or at least point me to individuals who could help. I am not looking to purchase any teeth, all I need to run my analysis are photos of each tooth with a scale bar, which theoretically makes gathering samples easier. Though I have reach the limit of my ability to gather photos myself so I am turning to the fossil hunting and collecting community. Again, I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forum to submit this request so if there is somewhere else it should be please feel free to point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I am new to this forum, and I was pleasantly surprised with the friendly and immediate, helpful, educated responses I received when I asked for help ID-ing dromaeosur teeth! Thank you Troodon and Runner64 for your help! This seems like an active, educated forum where lovers of prehistoric life can gather to discuss fossils, and the like. So, I would like to show off my fossil collection, and discuss things about the small amount of material I have in my personal collection! Feel free to show me your collections as well, I would love to see them! So without further ado, on to my fossils!

I want to get a megalodon tooth as a gift for my friend, but I have no idea about which sights are reputable, what to look for in a megalodon tooth, or what appropriate prices might be. What I do know for sure about what I want is that I want it to be 4"+, still sharp, and I have a price cap of $170. I've seen that some sights advertise that the enamel of the teeth they sell have been ground for a polish. I would prefer the tooth I buy to not be ground to a polish, but I don't know what the consequences of not grinding them might be. I should add that neither me, nor my friend, has really owned a fossil, before, so some maintenance advice would also be helpful. I have 3 teeth that I'm looking at, but if someone can show me something better, I might go for that. The sights I'm looking at are below. https://www.fossilsplus.com/store/ https://www.fossilera.com http://www.megateeth.com (I'm looking at 3 teeth from this sight) There also some megalodon teeth on these 2 sights, but I'm skeptical of the purchase method they have set up. This is also where I saw that they grind the tooth enamel. http://www.sharksteeth.com http://www.jtssharksteeth.com Any advice you all can give would be much appreciated.

Hi! I am planning on taking a trip to Summerville in a few months and was wondering if anyone had any good spots they could give me the locations of. I've never been there, and will be respecting the no-digging policy, but I have no idea where to go. There are a lot of videos on youtube of amazing finds! But I don't know where they are. If someone could give me some places, I'd really appreciate it Thanks!

I recently purchased on impulse the 3.98" meg pictured below. Its taupe coloration is different from the dark gray to black teeth I am used to seeing from SC. This tooth was ocean recovered off NC. However, the color was not what prompted the whim to acquire this piece. Oddly, it was the damage present that attracted me. I have read Forum member's reference to "feeding damage." I wondered, if this wrecking of one half of the blade fell in that category. If so what are the diagnostic signs? What is the mechanical process that allows the damage to occur? Any comments will be appreciated. Nikon D600 with 105mm Nikkor micro lens
