So I found this and it looks like a dolphin tooth, but it's my first time finding one so I was just looking for some confirmation and/or any more information that could be provided. This was found at the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC. In the past I've found a horse tooth, deer tooth, alligator tooth and am glad to be able to add another (non-shark) tooth to my collection of finds!

From Myrtle, to Charleston and then from Amelia around to Venice. It was truly a blessed summer strolling the beaches with family, and sometimes by myself. Of the hundreds found, these are my favorites.

Hi- we are new to this forum and have great interest in finding out what we picked up this weekend after Hurricane Dorian on the beach in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We actually drove from Ohio Friday night to look for sharks teeth and came home with a few (nothing sizely this visit) and this piece of what we believe to be fossilized tusk.

I found several of these on Myrtle Beach. I think they’re my favorite oyster fossil. But I’ve checked a bunch of online databases and can’t figure out the name of it. It’s gold in color. I should’ve put a measuring tape next to it. They range from 4 to 5 inches long . Thanks! paula

I wanted to thank everyone on this forum for making the month of January an extraordinary month in my life. We take annual trips to Myrtle Beach and I have always loved to look for the little sharks teeth in the sand. After 10 years of this, I have a nice little bottle filled with sharks teeth, none bigger than the size of a quarter. But this trip I decided to have a closer look at the ground. Without experience, I had no idea what I was looking at. So I just picked up things that looked unusual and brought them back in my room and started posting pictures on here. I had no idea of the diversity of prehistoric life that I have been stepping over this past decade. I couldn’t get enough. I started going out at night with a flashlight and learned to time the tides to see what the sea brought in. I found over 1000 sharks teeth. But I am truly much more excited about the other little bits that you helped me identify, pieces of dolphin, whale, horse, giant beaver, searobins, pufferfish and stingrays. Because I was so intent searching the ground, I even came away with an Indian spear tip and a military bullet in concretion! After 31 days, I’ve brought tubs of fossils back home. Lord knows what I’m going to do with them, but I do love to pull them out, look them over and read about the creatures they belonged to. I wanted to share with you photos of some of what I brought home.... A tiny fraction of the bone I found. Wish I knew what they belong to..... Lots of examples of the Exogyra oyster shells which for some reason absolutely fascinates me, and dozens of steinkerns I just couldn't pass up .... And a bag full of coral, seabiscuits and tube worm colonies I cant show because I reached my photo size limit I can’t wait until next January so I can do it all again. I think one of the nicest surprises was finding this special community. Thanks for letting me be part of it! — Paula
