Duval County, Florida. Beach find.

Hi. I'm a final year undergraduate student doing my dissertation on sharks. There are a few teeth I found which I feel I should be able to identify given some features preserved, and I don't want to just leave them as indet. They were found at Walton-on-the-Naze, UK, from the lowermost London Clay Formation, Eocene (Ypresian) in age. All photos show teeth in the best view that I could capture with me camera/have most of the specimen in focus. Scale bar on the right = 1cm. For all teeth they are in lingual (left), labial (middle) and mesial (right) views where applicable. Apologies for the lateral photos being so blurry, didnt get the chance to run them through focus stacking Thanks in adavance. Also, if people want to ask me any questions on the disso feel free to.

Found this shark tooth hunting,any idea info is help ful

Shown below is a tooth, identified by the seller as that of a Squalicorax pristodontus, from the Demopolis Chalk. However, given the shape of the tooth, I wondered whether it could have instead come from a Squalicorax kaupi. I've tried altering the saturation and contrast on the image to make the tooth clearer, but I fear it hasn't done much. Come to think of it I should probably also have included a scale and an image of the other side of the tooth. The tooth is 1.2 centimetres wide and 1.3 centimetres tall. Should an image of the other side of the tooth prove necessary, I'll upload one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Othniel

Found in the pits at the Aurora Fossil Museum. I think I've narrowed it down to a Thresher/Alopias. Does that seem accurate? I also wasn't sure if there was an ability to narrow it down further. Thank you!

I'm hoping that I'm seeing a deep nutrient groove visible on the front, top, and back of the tooth & a "hammerhead notch" on this tooth. Does Sphyrna sound accurate? Any other ways to narrow it down further?

From the album: Fossils
This 4.5 inch meg was found at a land site in central Virginia along the contact of the Eastover and Calvert Formations. The colors make me think it is likely an Eastover tooth. -
From the album: Fossils
This is my largest Hemipristis tooth. At 2.001 inches it just barely gets me into the 2 inch snaggletooth club! I found it in Yorktown Formation sediments in the Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina. -
I went down to westmoreland state park today, and I found these 4 these, the smallest one looks like a small bull shark tooth and the other 2 look like some hammerhead. The biggest one is something I’ve never seen before. It is still serrated and is sharp, I found it on fossil beach and the other 3 on the main beach. Please help as I don’t think I am right. Thank you!

Shark Teeth from the Peace River, Arcadia, Florida
citronkitten posted a topic in Member Collections
Greetings, I wasn't sure the best place to post this as when I try to 'create new content' as a 'gallery image' I can't actually select an image category; I can see 'sharks rays and skates' as an option, but when I click it nothing happens. Anyway, thought the most generalized area would be the next best bet. Here is the shadowbox I made from the shark teeth we found on our guided trip to the Peace River in Arcadia, Florida on 26 Dec 2023. We were out for almost 5 hours with Sean from Fossil Recovery Exploration, and even he said we did very well! We were particularly pleased with the pyritised partial (2/3) megalodon tooth! I know now that some of the Sand Tiger teeth are likely just Lemon Shark teeth...but oh well. One of the Mako teeth might be wrong, too, although not sure. Really pleased with how the display came out, overall. Thanks for looking!

Found on the beach in North Carolina. Wasn’t sure if it was actually a tooth or just a very neat looking rock. Any help would be appreciated!

I found this in Summerville back in early January, the shape seems a bit different than most angustudens I've seen and I was wondering if I've finally found a confident chubutensis. Any thoughts? Thanks! (4cm in length)

I found this on the Gulf Coast at Orange Beach AL after a storm. A few minutes later my daughter found a similar one and the same spot. It doesn’t really look like any shark tooth fossils. Any ideas?

I know its small but I found this tooth a while back and had forgotten about it so while looking through my trips smaller teeth I found 3 Carcharoides totuserratus which i didn’t know were rare until watching one of blackriverfossils videos. So I was wondering what kind of tooth this is and if anything rare? The last photo is the Carcharoides totuserratus I was talking about.

Hi, Everyone. We found some more odd fossils yesterday and I decided to put a few out for identification. I added a shot of all of them together next to a centimeter ruler for size and comparison, the rest are individual items. One looks an awful lot like a pecan, but turned out to be a brown, striated stone. As always, I’m here to learn. Thanks. Jon

Hello fellow hunters, I would like share my findings from a little trip i took when i was visiting the Netherlands. After looking up some hot spots at the beaches, I found a little beach next to a power plant called "de kaloot". A good spot for finding shark teeth apparently. After a couple of hours of scanning the beach i moved to the upper part and between all the shell scraps trapped between the stones I found myself a tooth! Not sure what is was I looked it up and I am pretty sure now it must have come from a giant deer. Pretty good shape with a nice blue shade on it. After the find the water starting the rise and I wanted to leave but next to the tooth i found this strange looking stone with what looked like a carving out of it. Either to fish or maybe to use as bead or something? O was wondering if you guys could enlighten me?

I found this in the Aquia formation. The Crown looks too thick for a Mackerel Shark. Any thoughts?
