Thanks for any help with these — the last 4 unidentified teeth from my recent trip. C — looks in profile like a generic Carcharinus, but the root is very robust! Perhaps symphyseal or pathological? From Summerville, SC.

Good morning fossil friends! Found this unknown fossil on Morris Island, SC yesterday.

Thanks for your hel

On Friday I went on a guided trip fossil hunting on Morris Island through Charleston Outdoor Adventures, a chartered trip and rental company operating on Bowens Island. I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the operation as a whole. Their guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a guided adventure in the Charleston Area. Anyways, we departed Bowens Island on a large Carolina Skiff for a 20 minute zip through the salt marsh before landing on the northern end of Morris Island. I remember that everyone slowed down looking for sh- 6 replies
