Hello! Can anyone help me identify this bone I collected on a beach at the Savannah River in the area known for dredging? It appears to be an animal femur. I’m new to fossils - can’t tell if this could be a really cool find or just the bone of a large processed animal as another suggested. I appreciated the help.

Found near the Savannah River, I was thinking it looks like it could be a rib or shin bone. Does anybody have any idea what it could be?

Hi all! This is my first time posting here, so hoping to have one of you help with ID on a fossil I found in a spoil spot on the Savannah River. These are dredged spots used to deepen the Savannah River for large cargo ships. After doing some digging here on the fossil forum I stumbled on a whale teeth diagram that seem pretty similar to what I’ve found. Thanks all for your help in advance.

Crassostrea Gigantissima, the giant oyster
MeargleSchmeargl posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
On Wednesday, relatives have invited me to accompany them to Shell Bluff along the Savannah River, home to the Dry Branch formation which is late Eocene (approx. 38 MYA) in age. This formation is home of an oyster bed, but not just any old oysters: Enter Crassostrea Gigantissima, a YUGE prehistoric Oyster that can grow a whopping 20 inches long. That's almost as long as my forearm! So how much do you guys know about these behemoths?- 11 replies

My wife got me into tooth hunting and after several years visiting coastal beaches in South Carolina and Georgia we set our sights on bigger finds. Over the past few months we have been going to the Savannah River with numerous finds like Megs, giant makos, great whites, pygmy sperm whale teeth and unidentifiable bone fragments. Looking forward to help from the group from time to time. Attached is One of Saturday a finds. any idea what it is?

Hello Everyone, Something that has always confused me ... teeth like this. This was a tooth pulled from Savannah River dredge material. I can't confirm the formations but the dredge worked the river to 47foot depth. I've read in some spots that the material could possibly be as old as Miocene. My assumption when I am hunting is Pliocene to Pleistocene. Is this just a juvenile meg tooth with cusps or a chubutensis tooth ? Should the cusps be more integrated into the blade ? 2 inches on the slant. Anyhoo ... an outlier to the teeth that I normally find which are so
