Okay so I found one tooth that I know for a fact is indeed a shark tooth, however, I am still a little skeptical about the second one. It has the right shape and texture to it as well as what appears to be a root line. I also added a photo that compares the broken tips of the two, and the inner portion of them seem to match pretty well, but I am not really sure if it is a tooth or not. I am really looking to identify the first tooth if possible, and confirm or deny that the second is a tooth. These were both found on my last trip to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.

Found Myrtle beach South Carolina where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene material can be found. An old beach find that I had mistakenly taken for a stingray barb. Could it be part of a small pointed Rostrum? Im really not sure, any ideas appreciated!

Found Myrtle Beach South Carolina, where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene material can be found. I know much of the root is missing, I can’t decide on what this tooth is. Any help appreciated!

Found at Myrtle Beach, SC, where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene aged material can be found. This is an old find that I had written off as a clam steinkern piece or something of the sort, but now looking at it the line patterning is pretty different than anything I’ve seen. Any ideas appreciated!

A couple more Myrtle beach finds I’m not sure about. Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene age fossils can be found there. Any help greatly appreciated! #1 wood? #2 turtle shell?

A few finds I want to learn about if possible, any info appreciated! found Myrtle beach South Carolina, where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene aged fossils can be found. #1, Crab claw #2, heavily worn Croc tooth? #3

Found Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene material can be found. Help appreciated!

Found Myrtle beach South Carolina, are all of these teeth Squalicorax Kaupi? I don’t trust myself to be sure. Help appreciated, also if anybody knows of good shark tooth identification books covering North American sharks teeth I’d love to know!

I don’t expect this tooth fragment can be identified but I’m curious if any one has ever seen enamel like this? It seems to have a thin clear outer layer and the layer below has the dots. Found Myrtle beach where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene fossils can be found.

I’m curious about these nodules along the side of the steinkern, found Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene age strata in the area. Largely Cretaceous from the Pee dee formation. Any ideas welcome! The nodules are 1-2 mm. Are they pebbles that settled in during fossilization?

A couple things for identifying, the first may just be a rock but something about it made me pick it up, I always think wood but then again I’m always wrong. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Found Myrtle Beach South Carolina, and it bears mentioning that Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene fossils are found here.

Sorry for the not so great pictures as I’m in the process of getting a new phone, any clues as to what this small piece might be from? The texturing I swear I’ve seen on some pieces I’ve found before but I can’t seem to find them, if I do I’ll post additional pics. Any help appreciated, found Myrtle Beach South Carolina.

A couple of interesting bones from my dads collection, any clues what these are? Both found Myrtle Beach South Carolina

These little guys keep popping up in my collection as I sift through attempting to identify all of my teeth, I'm thinking small extinct tiger shark teeth but I always have trouble with the little ones. Any help appreciated-found Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I have no clue but it's really cool....please help.

Please help identify. Found in myrtle beach SC, on the north side.

ID please

I found this shell or bone at Myrtle Beach a few days ago. I'm very new to this hobby, so I cannot give you a date. If I had to guess it would be a spine or something. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi! I'm new to TFF and hunting for shark teeth as well. With that being said I can't seem to identify these teeth and any help is greatly appreciated! I think the bottom are sand tigers but I am not 100% sure.

I went to Myrtle Beach, and found these teeth when they washed up to shore. Identification would be greatly appreciated. I can provide closer ups as well. Thank you! (The 3rd, 4th, and 5th are serrated)

These were all the teeth I found on my trip to Myrtle Beach on South Carolina. On some of them I think I know what some of them are, but I would like some help identifying a few, especially the ones near the quarter. If you need a closer up pic, I'd be happy to provide as many as needed. (They aren't the best quality)Thank you!

Hello fossil wizards, please help. I found this washed up on Myrtle Beach when I was a kid. I think it looks like a tooth? I've always wondered what it is or what it belonged to. It keeps me up at night, haunting me, floating in my mind's eye mouth, 20 years of unidentified oversized toothy torture. Anyway, I would love to finally find out the tooth to this mysterious mystery of the perhaps dental variety & put this & myself to bed.

Can you help me identify what this might be? I don't think it's a sharks tooth but it looked cool. I found it along the beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Thanks!

This looks suspiciously like a fragment of a Megalodon. Can anyone ID this?

Finding Fossilized Shark (Selachimorpha [Selachii]) Teeth On The Shores Of Myrtle Beach, SC: A Definitive, Authoritative, Don't-Deviate-Or-Die Guide By Shane R., a.k.a. "THE master expert of all gurus" Shell-bed - Crushed shells deposited during the high tide transformation to low tide. A proper bed will have NO SAND VISIBLE, ONLY CRUSHED SHELLS!! The ocean's dump... Dump of joy and goodness! This is where you always want to be in some form or another. DO NOT waste time with shell-bedless sand. Bigger pieces of shells in the bed = bigger teeth, less chance of finding squat. Smaller pieces = small teeth but higher chances. Zone 4 - Fine, hot, trash-filled, bone-dry, dredged, behind pretty sea oats sand that's furthest from the ocean (2.25/5 rating & small teeth) Zone 3 - Lumpy, warm, uneven, ever-so-slightly-moist, feet-trodden, gritty sand that's marked by beach scraping machinery tracks (?[unimportant enough that I've never looked]/5 rating & small teeth) Zone 2 - Cool, moist, older-shell-bed-filled, severely foot-trodden, vacationers-set-up-shop-full, smooth sand (3.5/5 rating & small to large teeth) Zone 1 - Very cool, super moist, lightest of waves, fresh-shell-bed filled, heavens-opened-up, stay-here-all-day, smooth-as-a-baby's-rear, where-toothy-addictions-and-backbreaking-obsessions-are-made shore sand (5/5 rating & small to very large teeth) ps. if you can't already tell, this is the zone you want Zone Almost Pointless - Cold, in the "deeper than lightest of waves," impossible-to-see-anything, "that fast wave took my spotted treasure away before I could process," shell-beds so exceptional your feet cut open and bleed, waterery sand (1.75/5 rating & large to extremely large teeth) *Baby Zip bag needed. Leave open the whole time searching. Touch fingers in ocean water, let water drip into bag, fill about 1/4 of bag (the water atoms secure your teeth), hold in one hand between thumb, forefinger, and middle finger (thumb is on right side gripped next to zipper [sharp edge of bag], forefinger nail distance is inside bag, middle finger is above forefinger outside of bag gripped to forefinger nail) while searching. Touch (or drop if you found a big momma) newly acquired teeth to water inside bag until said atoms overtake tooth, securing it in bag. Check continually for low water level and leakages. If found, dip ocean fingers and refill. DO NOT DROP BAG!!!!!! HOLY.. DONT DROP THE BAG. AND.... Don't... be.. tipping the bag either Ahem... Now for that meat. A good mindset to always, always keep is that, chances are, if a shell bed is not actively being eroded at by active waves, any teeth of substantial size have been already taken by another collector. If you aren't actively eye-searching, continually walking, moving around, and searching for the next great eroding shell bed, you ARE wasting precious, valuable time! Look down the beach and head to the next visible bed near the shore! Lots of speed walking is needed! Check to see if waves are or might be close to hitting beds. If so, GET there as fast as possible! Scour the beach with your eyes and be PROACTIVE! Beat the next collector! Be on top of it! If you aren't bent over the whole time, you ARE missing great teeth! R.I.P. Mr. back When you've found a shell-bed near the shore that's actively being eroded by waves, pay super close attention to the area where the sand (closest to ocean) meets the shell bed. This area (and just to the top of bed [furthest from ocean]) is where very large teeth can be found! The middle of the bed is just as good! So check the whole bed!!duh! Make sure the sun is BEHIND YOU and the tooth's enamel should shine like utter diamond from the fresh water on them. Pay SUPER close attention to the bottom of said bed when a wave thoroughly hits it: sometimes teeth come SHOOTING out! The water is naturally sorting this big bed of shells for you! Thank the wind for the eroding waves! Thank the moon for providing the large tide that dropped the shells! The bed that is actively being hit by waves is loooong, as you can see, so don't stay in one place! Pace back and forth the distance of bed where waves are hitting (only where waves are sorting for you)! You are greatly increasing your chances of finding a tooth if you are walking back and forth whilst looking! Pace! Don't stay in one place! Pace! Don't do et . Pace! Scan scan scan! If you aren't actively scanning, you are missing! Active active! Nonstop! This is work since they're valuable to the Gay Dolphin dude! If not trying to fool with tide charts, prepare to be out for at least six hours in order to catch key times. Full moons and new moons are the greatest times to look. Day before and after. Morning. 6:45 am. Nautical twilight time... If there is a storm, GET OUT THERE NOW. Legendary fun awaits. If no shell beds can be found (you're basically fricked...but), bring a short metal shovel, use toes to find an under the sand shell bed, make sure it is close to the ocean, dig large scoops, throw to edge of where water is hitting, let nature erode, search quickly at results.
