Hello all! New here. Recently visited Kure Beach, NC and started finding my first shark teeth. I was able to find tons of them washed up on the shore. This was the biggest one I found and curious as to which kind it is. Thanks all!

Hello everyone! I've found quite a number of interesting things at Holden Beach, North Carolina since the replenishment project last year. Most of the stuff I've found I was able to identify fairly easily as I started to learn more (A big thanks to a large number of people on this forum, I did a lot of browsing here over the last year), but this vertebra is one thing I haven't pegged down 100% that I've been curious about. I found it back this April one morning, barely exposed in a tide pool. The area currently has things from Cretaceous to Pliocene washing out, but I think it looks fairly young as far as fossils go. The spinous process looks like it was broken off more recently, possibly due to the replenishment project; it wasn't a very gentle procedure for any of the fossils or seashells! I've heard from a couple of individuals that it may be a worn down manatee or dugong vertebra, which I am leaning towards myself, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to get additional opinions on it before the upcoming Aurora Fossil Festival. My phone camera is iffy with focusing, so sorry if the labels look to be somewhat blurry! I've included a couple of bonus pictures from the day I discovered it (I dropped my poor phone in the tide pool while I was snapping shots of it). It looks to be around 11 cm (4.33 Inches) across the transverse process, around 7 cm (2.755 Inches) long overall, and around 7.8 cm (3.07 Inches) wide on the body.

I found this tooth today walking along the sandbar separating the tide pools from the ocean. This is on Topsail Island, North Carolina. Below are a few photos I hope can help identify it.

Found on Topsail Island while beach combing. It’s about 2” in length and has 3 hollow “tubes” that are open on one end only. I’m thinking it’s possibly some kind of coral?

Good afternoon, I found this item while fossil hunting at Onslow Beach located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. It seems to have 3 tooth sockets, two relatively close together and the single socket located more forward on the specimen. Is this part of a jaw bone or has my imagination run wild? The mat is showing inches so appx 4.5 inches by 3 inches. Thank you very much for any assistance in ID the item.

Hi everyone. Iv'e been thinking about doing this for years and now, here I am! I have some interesting beach finds from "Sharks tooth island" and emerald isle, north carolina beaches. My favorite has obvious tooth marks. Black brown bone shard, about 1 inch long. Looks like something bit into the bone and cracked it open. There are a few molar marks and smaller tooth marks as well. The hole shown is I think a tendon insertion hole? So many predation marks on it. So cool! Any ideas of what the bone is and what had a good meal off of it?
