Scapanorhynchus texanus (goblin shark anterior teeth) Upper Cretaceous Wenonah Formation Ramanessin Brook Holmdel, NJ -
Hello, recently went on a trip to highcliffe beach/Barton on Sea (both have same formations and stretch of beach). I found 11 water-worn shark teeth from the shingle which are attached (I can post more of specific ones if needed) and lots of gastropods directly from the Barton clay, pictures will follow tomorrow if those. The formation is 40M years old. I have some rough ideas for what they may be but need some help Going from left to right starting on the first row: 1&2 I believe to be sand tiger shark of some sort. 3,4,5 and 6 I thought could be Carcharodon Auric

Hello and thank you for letting me join your forum. My name is Lindsey and today my family went to Big Brook in NJ for the first time, looking for some shark teeth. We found some interesting things and we've got no idea where to even start with identifying the things we bought home. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for your help and I hope you're all having a great week. Lindsey.

An assortment of interesting finds from our hunt today. This was in the late cretaceous Ozan formation (also called the Lower Taylor Marl, I believe) around the Austin area, in central Texas. I'd like confirmation or correction on some ID's 1) I'm thinking Mosasaur tooth for this one, but since it's small enough to maybe be fish, I'm checking anyway. If measurements end up being important for any of these, I can provide them. 2.) I'm thinking Cretolamna for this shark tooth, but it looks like the cusps have two peaks, which is throwing me off. Any thoughts?

While my prime focus is essentially learning how to accurately describe Nature in the precise language of mathematics, I've always been intrigued by natural history - it's actually what started me on the path to physics. The sort of interrogation that paleontology practices provoked me to think and question even further, down to the fundamental science which makes it all work. Collecting fossils has brought a large amount of enjoyment to my life, and is often a welcome distraction from what can sometimes be straining work. The knowledge that I accumulate along the way is also part

From the album: Sharks
An assortment of shark fossils spanning hundreds of millions of years. Nothing too impressive, but some nice ones in there. I've found many of these, and bought the rest from online sellers or a local rock store. There are of course a few non-shark fossils: a couple of cetacean teeth, an eagle ray plate, and a sawfish centrum. I also included "shark-like" denticles from the Ordovician. List of species (ordered roughly by "row"): Galeocerdo cuvier Hemipristis serra Carcharias taurus Carcharhinus leucas Negaprion brevirostris Alopias latidens Sphyrna zygae- 8 comments

Are these real Megaladon teeth?
Erin36 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I just purchased these sold as Megaladon teeth. I see some repairs I think. The big one I think is in almost perfect condition. The others seem small so not sure if they are Megaladon or another shark fossil? Any help is appreciated. -
Please help with an ID for these small teeth found in the Lee Creek spoils pile. Sorry for the poor image quality, but my cell phone does not take good pictures of tiny objects. Both teeth are approx. 5mm wide and 7mm tall

Hello to all of you guys, I´m a newbie to the forum, so i would like to before anything, say hi to everyone here And with that already said, i would need some help with the identification of some fossils of Elasmobranchii, that I have seen near the coast of south central Chile. The fossils are 2 teeth and something else that I´m unable to ID correctly (I think maybe a vertebra? or some weird gastropod). The age of the sandstone that contains these should be around the Upper Paleocene. The fisrt tooth I think is from some (I think) sand tiger shark (so

Would anyone know of a easy to get to location where I can park and look for shark teeth in a creek or river? I don't have a diving license nor do I have a South Carolina hobby license and I am looking for a good location, also, if there is a great location for finding shark teeth that requires a license, I can try to get a licence to visit that location.

How can I find large shark teeth at north myrtle beach
tinkerdragon123 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I am visiting myrtle beach soon, cherry grove area, and was wondering if there were any really good strategies for finding shark teeth. I have been to holden beach, a little ways north, and found 75 shark teeth in a week by mostly looking in shell beds, however, I found my two largest teeth, two great whites, in a tide pool. Is there a really good location for tooth hunting at cherry grove? also, is there any one spot at the beach where there are the most shark teeth. -
Hi! First, thank you to everyone who responded to my older post asking for fossil hunting tips- I used as many as I could and I found some great stuff! Here's what I found and can't ID myself from my latest trip to Flagponds (Calvert MD). I was thinking 11 might be snaggletooth shark, and 19 and 20 looked like they might be from some kind of white shark though I'm not entirely sure? In addition to those I'm especially interested in identifying 1, 3, 4, 5, 8-9, and 13 but haven't been able to so far. I'd appreciate any help identifying these and the other teeth I have pictured! 36-48 are

Hi! I just wanted to show off my best fossil hunting finds so far, I hope that's ok! I've identified them from left to right as extinct tiger-like shark tooth, snaggletooth shark tooth, tiger shark tooth, sevengill cow shark tooth, stingray barb, and pufferfish mouth plate I also included a tooth from a previous trip (second from the left) just to show why I'm so proud of these

Hi all, Just finished up a vacation in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Each of these three teeth were found in the ocean swash upon crushed up shells. Can anyone identify any of the three? The last one (I did post in a separate thread, but figured I include it again) is just the tip (which looks pretty large to me as it’s almost as big as a dime - attached multiple photos). Really can’t determine what this might be? Looks very old and worn.

Id requested: Shark Teeth from Cadzand, NL (Eocene - Plio/Pleistocene)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, I recenty acquired a bulk of shark teeth found on the beaches of Cadzand, The Netherlands. I think there are around 200 - 300 shark, ray and fish teeth in the bag ranging in age from the Eocene up to the Plio/Pleistocene. A large chunk of the teeth are common species like C. hastalis, Brachycarcharias lerichei & Striatolamia macrota teeth. But there are a few I am not sure about and some I don't even a clue about, so I was hoping some people here might help me out confirm my ID. Thank you in advance! All the ray teeth in the bunch-

I recently acquired two Cretaceous lamniform shark teeth that I'm trying to identify. The first one, from Russia, was sold as Cardabiodon sp., but I'm curious if that's correct or if it's something else. The second tooth, from Texas, didn't come with an ID. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! #1 - Cardabiodon? sp. This tooth is from the Cenomanian of Russia and was found near Fedorovka Village, Tambov Region. The tooth measures 28.51 mm on the slant and 14.91 mm at its widest across the root. #2 - Unidentified
