I found this a while ago on a spoil island in the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, NC . I believe this is mostly Castle Hayne formation, eocene. Tooth is 1 1/4 inches long. Missing a side cusp, no serrations, no nutrient groove that I see . Is this a Serratolamna koerti ? Thanks for your help.

This is from a site in eastern NC where everything found is Eocene, Castle Hayne Formation. It looks like Rhincodon, which is Oligocene. Could it be a transition tooth, or is this something entirely different? I dont see any signs of worn down side cusps but the root itself appears to be worn down or fragmented. Scale is mm. Thanks

Is this a partial tooth plate ? or something else ? Neuse River,NC , eocene and cretaceous material there. Scale is mm. Thanks

In your opinion do I have a rock or a worn down heterodontus ? Neuse River NC, eocene and cretaceous . Scale is mm. Thanks

I am still trying to learn to identify all the many sharks teeth , after some research ( books, elasmo.com, and other sites,including this one) I think this may be cretalamna ? It is from the the Neuse River in NC, eocene and cretaceous. The first 4 pics are first tooth the last 4 pics are a second tooth. Neither have much (if any) nutrient groove, more of a foramen. I was thinking they are both same ,just different position? Scale is in mm. Thanks

Last weekend we went on a spontaneous trip to NC and found some cool stuff. It was quite a cold boat ride in the morning but what a great time and with good people! Thanks @SailingAlongToo for the opportunity but sucks you had to work. It was good to see Theresa back out and about and hanging out with @Daleksec . Hopefully the pictures are decent. Found an epic poo and finally got my full theropod tooth!!

I put a low bid on this not thinking I would win? Then I did so I want to make sure this is what I think it is. It was labeled as squalodon, is this true? Should be here soon, until then here are the sellers photos, it’s from lee creek mine, Aurora, NC. Remember a fossil hunting friend of mine looked for one for many decades till he finally found one last year and was ecstatic. So o thought they were rare, but with the price I payed I’m starting to doubt that. I’m going to save y’all the trouble of calling @Boesse to the thread and do it myself.

Good morning everyone! I have another interesting fossil that I've been researching to identify and I'm stumped. My first thought was turtle but I can't seem to match the part to anything in the anatomy. I apologize for no scale in the photo but it's 2.5" long and just over 1" wide at its widest point. Thanks for the info!! In addition, this came directly from the green clay/quartz layer.

This was found a while back by a friend I was hunting with, busting open some rocks in the creek - nothing else was really in the rock but it was found with the usual GMR items washed into a gravel bed. There is a small vert attached to it but I am interested in possibly identifying WHAT bone that is attached to the vert and maybe even narrow it down to a type of fish (I assume it's fish). The bone attached reminds me of those tilly fish bones in texture/appearance. Any connection? 1- LOCATION Greenville, NC Greens mill Run. (Green Mill Run) 2- GEOLOGY/Formation Generally this location is part of the york town formation, Miocene-Pliocene-cretaceous 4- ASSEMBLAGE Shark teeth (mostly makkos, tiger near by) Belemnites and whale bone.

Found two things at different times a while back in the creek that I am in need of direction on trying to ID. I find horse teeth some at GMR but am hesitant to assume that's what either is - not just because of the small size but because the patterns are a bit different from the horse teeth I've found - though none 100% complete for me to say that is more than an armatures eye. Any assistance to ID this would be greatly appreciated! I copied the main concerns from FAQs on posting here, so hopefully I was able to provide enough detail for some assistance. 1- LOCATION Greenville, NC Greens mill Run.

Found this in some Matrix from Aurora, NC yesterday. I'm not sure whether it's a seal tooth, or a porpoise tooth, or something else entirely... Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance... -Bill

Found yesterday in some matrix from Aurora, NC. I think it's an Invertebrate, but not 100% positive... Thanks in advance... -Bill

I'm headed to a job out in Southport, NC and I haven't been on a good fossil search in a couple of years. I have been doing some research but I was just curious if anyone had any tips. Trying to stay close to Southport for a search but am willing to travel a little bit. Does anyone know any good spots for any fossils other than shark teeth? I'm more in to brachiopods and corals (I could just never get into the shark tooth scene). Thanks! Kelsey

Spent most of the day Saturday in the water at Green Mill Run. There were soo many small teeth to be had under .25". Some super nice smalls. Found some meg chunks. The highlight for my daughter was finding the 1.5" great white. Exhausting, but good day!
