Hey, been a while, so i decided to start a new topic for the new year. Headed out on Thursday 25/01 to the river shores in Antwerp again. First hunt of the year since i've worked non-stop so far and a contractor is rebuilding our house.. It was great being out again so i was already pleased on beforehand, finding some nice teeth made it even better 😁 here's some in situ pics.. Rolled C. hastalis C. hastalis in excellent shape my first Parotodus benedeni ever, not in great shape but an awesome find anyway 😀 Finally a complete 6cm C. hastalis VID20240125131132.mp4 And some random mammal teeth Had a great first hunt of the year, and I already feel like going back! oh yeah, here's the whole lot cleaned up.. Surprised about how many different species i got covered this time 😄 Grtz, Dries

Hey everyone! My name is Josh. My girlfriend (totallydigsit) and I have recently gotten into hunting for fossils and decided to join the forum We are based in FL and have primarily searched along the Peace River near Zolo Springs and Arcadia (two spots we found during our initial research). We've found a variety of smaller bone fragments and shark teeth, but hoping to score the bigger pieces! Looking forward to sharing our findings and getting to know the community! - Josh

Had a quick hunt at Purse State park, first time! only about two hours on the beach and found a lot! no big ones but a bunch of interesting sand tigers. Then had some time at my Calvert Cliffs spot, and just as I thought the hunt was a bust, I found a nice tooth! Not sure what the big one is but I think it is a Hastalis? Anyway, great time both hunts!

Hello. I am here with another unknown shark tooth. This one I personally found. For a while I believed it to be from Hastalis, but I have doubts after searching it up. It is around 5-3 million years old. It was also found alongside what I believe to be a Scylirhinoid vertebrae.

Hi All! I'm currently saving up to pursue my PhD in Archaeology (focus on pre-colonial N. America, Pre-Bronze Age Aegean, and Human Evolution) and am an avid rock and fossil collector! Living in NYC, I mostly hunt with my partner in NJ, but am originally from the California coast and often make trips back to the golden coast. Very interested in both collectible and "observation only" in-situ finds. Long-time lurker of the forum, but finally decided to join in on the discussions! Thanks everyone!

Kern County vs. Florida - The Hunt for the Elusive Meg
ruffalo posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
While the Megalodon tooth seems to exist as THE find for many fossil hunters and/or amateur marine paleontologists alike (and rightly so!) it's never been my own personal "holy grail." However. My partner, who graciously tags along and searches with me whenever I drag him out on hunts often hours (or even days) of driving away, is absolutely enamored by the idea of finding one of these guys. I've heard many good things about Ernst Quarries/Sharktooth Hill and the private land surrounding it in Kern County, but I've also heard incredible things about Florida creek hunting - mostly Peace River and some, unfortunately, Top-Secret spots. We luckily have the opportunity right now to go on one (or both if we play our (credit) cards right) of these trips and was hoping those more experienced in the culture of "Meg Madness" would be able to provide any advice, pointers, opinions, comments, concerns, etc.? -
Hello. I am a beginner fossil hunter and collector. About an hour ago, I went to the bookstore near my country property and bought two teeth. One I believe I have identified as a Tiger shark tooth, coming from Bone Valley (Polk County, Florida). However the second is more mysterious. It appears to be a small baby megalodon tooth without a bourlette. It measures 1.9 cm (0.75 inches). It also appears to have potentially lost part of its root. It appears vaguely similar in shape to my Megalodon tooth. If someone can potentially identify it, that would be great!

I recently sculpted a super-sized Paraorthacodus clarkii shark tooth using epoxy putty, based on examples I've found from the Paleocene of Maryland, USA. The sculpture is about 5 inches (13 cm) wide vs. 0.35-0.5 inches (9-13 mm) wide for the teeth I've actually found. The enamel coloring (acrylic paint) on this is more fantastical than my previous Cretodus tooth sculpture, though is still loosely inspired by blue-grays on some of my actual teeth. Here's the finished sculpture after painting: Here's the sculpture before coloring (I forgot to take photos before doing any painting, but the images below are the tooth with a light coat of primer): For comparison, here's the most complete example of Paraorthacodus clarkii I've found and that's in my collection: And another example that I relied on quite a bit while creating this sculpture:

2.4 inch Otodus aksuaticus shark tooth from the Eocene Nanjemoy Formation of Maryland. This is a good example of the transition from obliquus to auriculatus, with serrations extending about halfway down the crown.-

Ever since seeing @sharko69's Monster Texas Cretodus, I've dreamed of owning a very large Cretodus tooth. Well, now I have one, and at 6 3/8" on the slant, I believe it to be world-record sized. (I sculpted this using epoxy putty and colored it with acrylic paint.) The top row below is the tooth prior to painting. Here's an in situ shot.

Found this tiny tooth in a Gainesville creek. Looks like it has a cusp on one side. Could it possibly be a juvenile Great White tooth? I looked on elasmo but I don't see anything that quite fits the profile of it. It's about 12mm in length.
