Picked this up at a rock shop over the holidays. The label only said “Permian, Kansas”. Permian material is new to me. A bit of looking around and I came up with Cladodus occidentalis. Thoughts? The tooth is almost exactly 1 inch (2.54 cm) in max dimension. The perky box top is that size. There are striae on the primary blade. It has one to two cusps on the shoulders but I cannot discern whether they too are striated. The third photo is view is from the base up. The 4th photo is a C. occidentalis from the Oceans of Kansas website. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, For a few months now, I occasionally go searching for shark/ray teeth in an old industrial area in Aruba. I found hundreds of smaller shark teeth (probably carcharhinus) and a handful of very cool & much larger teeth (likely otodus angustidens). This morning, I went walking the dogs there and stumbled upon a chunk of a much larger tooth! Could it be the megalodon? it could be a larger specimen of an O. Angustidens but the proportions are not quite the same… I'll let the experts judge for themselves. The (almost) complete O. Angustidens tooth in the middle is 2’1 inches (5,3 cm) long.

Hi! I found a shark tooth on the beach, near the water, on a pile of rocks this past weekend. It was found in Ventura, CA. I have spent a lot of time researching, tried Google lens, but still not sure. Is it a great white? Mako? I do see serrated edges, very worn out, but do appear to be there. I tried to provide as many clear photos as possible. Any thoughts on what type of shark and age range? So curious. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

Hi! This shark tooth (?) was found along a Delaware, USA beach. Though I do find great joy in finding fossils/artifacts, I am not a hunter, nor do I have any knowledge of this type of thing. What I know: - Found in Delaware, USA on the sandy shoreline of the beach. - It is about 4cm (~1.5 inches) at the top. - Photos below! Can you tell me: - Who this belonged to? - How old it is? Thank you so very much! front front back

The first Megalodon for a Chinese enthusiast
15652353758 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
A brief description of the situation. It looks nice on the front, very structured. Over five inches long on each side, beautiful V-shaped. The disadvantage is that one side of the serration is damaged, and the root of the back tooth is slightly corroded？ There are fossilized shells on the tooth roots？ …..🥺

I found this tooth at Calvert Cliffs, Md. The root looks to thick to be a Bull shark. A small Mako is my my best guess. Does anyone know?

Hi everyone! After more than 7 years of putting it off, I finally returned to Green Mill Run last weekend. There were lots and lots of giant Exogyra in the creek, which was interesting since I’ve never really seen trip reports mention those; not sure if something happened to bring them all there. Especially since I assumed most of the Cretaceous stuff in GMR is washed from upstream, but I can't see so many of those big shells being washed all the way to the same spot. But anyways, here are some fossils I’d like an ID or a clarification on! Ignore the ruler pattern haha Burrow casts? There were a few of these, they looked rock-like but with a unique weight and texture, and they were colored differently from the usual black GMR fossils Hybodont clasper? I know most/all of these are Squalicorax, including this absolute beast here, but any idea on species? C. hastalis? Brachiopod? Some kind of shark teeth but not certain about species Either goblin or sand tiger? Bryozoan? Thanks everyone!

Hello dear forum participants. I present to your attention a tooth that has caused some discussion among us. The main version is that this is a rounded Physogaleus tooth, but in appearance it seems that its roots are not broken. Curious to know your opinion. The tooth was shown to specialists, and there is literature on our regional sharks. It appears to be Physogaleus but would like more clarity. Age: Upper Eocene, Middle Urals Thanks for your attention Question - if there are new questions and findings, is it possible to continue posting in this topic or is it better to create a new one based on our findings, if, of course, the reader is interested? Best regards, Anton.
