Got this shark tooth from a rock show a couple of years ago (when I was not into fossil collecting) and seller said it was from morocco, that is all I know as far as this tooth goes. (I am not a shark tooth expert by any means, but I can tell that the root is composite and not original) Thank you for your time!

Hello, I am wondering what these shark teeth are. I am a new collector and I don't remember where they came from. But if you know what they are it would be very nice to know. Thank you

My understanding is that lower teeth for Carcharodon hastalis differ from Isurus Oxyrinchus in that the Isurus crown is slenderer than Carcharodon. What are some of the other distinguishing differences? Is the image of a Carcharodon hastalis or Isurus Oxyrinchus fossil?

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!

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.

Little blue-black shark tooth from Matoaka Beach in Maryland. I'd like an ID or two, please!

Hey all! My most recent excursion went pretty well. This is one of my favorite finds despite the size of it, but I can't find any good pictures to compare it to. The root is rather large but damage to it complicates IDing when you're as greenhorn as I am haha. Any ideas?

Hi everyone! I went to Flagponds in Calvert County MD a few weeks ago and came back with my biggest *actual* fossil haul so far (I posted here my first time with about 50 barnacle pieces)! I know there are a few ray plate fragments in here, and I've included what I think are bone pieces although I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, I'm having a lot of trouble identifying my shark's teeth, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I'll post numbered photos of my finds with this. If anyone needs a zoomed in, clearer or different angle pic I'm happy to provide more. (Advance apologies for the broken down photos, these teeth are really tiny so I had to take multiple pics to make them visible)

Here is a shark tooth I believe I found in peace river (fl) although I don’t really remember. It is about a .8 inch tooth. The reason I’m not sure the type of shark this is is because of its thickness. It reminds me of a bull shark but has an odd shape and is thicker than most teeth I find. Anyone know if this is a bull shark or something else?

This tooth was included in a lot of Moroccan teeth I bought for giveaways awhile back. I have never been able to ID it. I thought Otodus for awhile but I am not sure about that. I am not really familiar Parotodus teeth but I did find a couple on line that looked a bit like mine. I think it is a possible ID but I really do not know. It is 3/4” and I have no specific location besides Morocco. It was a mixed bag that contained Cretaceous, Paleocene and Eocene teeth. Any suggestions?

Hello! Last time I was here I posted about 50 pieces of barnacle which I thought were teeth. Good news is, this time I actually have teeth! I sent these in to another fossil ID place, and they identified a few of my teeth as possible lemon shark, and the 8th from the left as a possible C. hastalis. If anyone can help identify more specifically what sharks the teeth came from I'd really appreciate it!! Also, the big brown fragment on the far right in these pictures they identified as some kind of bone fragment- maybe it's a long shot but do any of you know what it could have come from??? I'm really curious about that one now. (Ignore the second and third from the right. They aren't interesting.) I can post more pics if needed.

As I’ve gone through the donation of STH material we received, I have found a couple of shark teeth that I can not ID. My picture capability is limited to my phone so I apologize for picture quality. I thought the first tooth looks something like a Hemipristis symphyseal tooth but I could be off base. It appears to be a complete tooth as I see no evidence of the root being broken.

Hey y'all! I need help with this one shark tooth I found in Galveston, TX a couple of years ago. I initially thought lemon, but I'm not sure anymore. Any insight would be much appreciated! The tooth measures almost exactly 1.5 cm from root to tip. To me, it closely resembles a tooth also from Galveston (3rd, 4th pictures). However, it's missing serrations. It's possible they're worn off as the root is diminished as well. I think it's possible it could be a hammerhead. The blade seems too flat and broad at the root to be lemon.

Hey y'all, I went to POC for the first time yesterday and came back with some stuff I need help ID'ing. 1. Shark teeth - Cretodus crassidens? 2. Large shark tooth - Cretoxyrhina? 3. shark tooth - Scapanorhynchus? 4. Enamel/tooth frag - mosasaur? 5. shark tooth - Cretolamna appendiculata? All scale bars = 1 cm. The enamel (4) is < .5 cm in length. 4 is definitely not shark - too thick - and reminds me of crocodiles, but I haven't heard of any crocs there. I also found another mosasaur tooth frag. I know this can be really difficult, so I really appreciate your help!

Hi all! I have a fairly small shark tooth I'm trying to ID. I've looked at several different ID charts and this is the only one I'm not too sure about. It's not the find of the century but inquiring minds want to know lol. Any help is greatly appreciated! The tooth I need to ID is the one right next to the dime in the pic.
