Hi all! Been a while since I've had some time to go fossil hunting. I'm currently on vacation in South Carolina and finally took a trip to Edisto Beach. Even though I lived in Charleston for 4 years I never visited!. I found a few fossils, but I'm not sure what they are. I know one is obviously a shark tooth. I want to say some are fragments of mammoth teeth but I always get excited and think everything's an elephant tooth (I studied mammoths and mastodons in grad school). I'm not sure what the more rounded one is at all. My fiancee also found a piece of pottery but I'm not sure if anyone is into that or could tell me a time period of when it's from. Thanks for any help!

I acquired the tooth below a little over a year ago along with some Cretodus crassidens teeth from a Texas collector. They're from a Dallas County, Texas, site that exposes a buffer zone between the Eagle Ford and Woodbine Formations (Cenomanian-Turonian). All of the teeth were identified to me as Cretodus, and that appears to be correct for the others, but I'm pretty sure the ID on this one is incorrect. On further examination, it appears to be a cardabiodontid, though I'm not sure whether Dwardius or Cardabiodon. The slant length is just under 39 mm. @ThePhysicist @siteseer, you helped ID a previous Cardabiodon tooth that I picked up from Kansas--any thoughts on this one? @MikaelS if you see this, your expertise would of course also be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! I’m not very familiar with shark teeth and never found one until this week, but apparently this one is a great find. What shark is this tooth from and how do I preserve it?

As I explore more around Summerville/Ladson, I am starting to find a few teeth that I haven't found before. This one from yesterday has me confused. First guess would be lower great white, after searching old posts on this forum because of the nutrient foramen and lack of cusps (if it had cusps, I would say angy). Root shape doesn't match upper great white, but I think it could be lower (maybe). Doubts about great white are that the serrations look small and the root still doesn't match most of the pics I see of great white. Also not sure if this has a small bourlette or it's just part of the root. Also, I haven't found great whites in these creeks before, so it makes me doubt that. I have hunted this creek before, but never found anything this far upstream. There are a mix of formations. Can someone help? Thank you so much!

Found this tooth yesterday, washed out of the high bank along a creek in Ladson, SC (near Summerville). Have found teeth from multiple epochs here in the past. I have been looking at Alopias grandis and Paratodus benedini, but I have never found either and definitely need some help. It has enamel "shoulders" (looks like cusps that never really came all of the way out). Thank you!

I have one other shark tooth from Sunday that I cannot ID. Found in the same creek as the retroflexus, but not necessarily the same formation. Thank you so much!

Hello forum members. Here are some teeth I found recently in a n.j. brook that I could use some help with. 1 to 8?? The other pic is a mix of mostly goblin and porbeagle sharks from past trips. First and second tooth at the top left are pathological. One twisted Archaeolamna kopingensis and the second is goblin shark that is hooked or fanged.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. I was walking on the beach the other day and for the first time I found a piece of bone. I have been walking this beach for the past 5 years and have never found a piece of bone. It is 3 inches long and at its widest point it is one inch. Hopefully it is IDable. I have no knowledge of bone material at all so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I also happened to find a shark tooth. I believe it is a lower Carcharhinus plumbeus (Sandbar Shark) 13mm. It is a great color and is serrated. Also the root and blade is thin/flat. That is one of the reasons I believe it is Sandbar Shark. If someone can confirm my ID it would be greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Hi everyone, I am going to go with a sure thing as I need I pick me up. I found this at Shark River NJ. I can’t find anything the resembles it in any of the Fossil Sheets available from the area on the web. It has tiny serrations Thanks as always for your help

Wondering what type of sharks teeth these are and possibly how old.

Sadly, this tooth was broken in several places when I found it at the foot of a Cretaceous fossil cliff on the coast of Portugal. I imagine a precise ID is impossible, but am grateful for any taxonomic information that can be inferred. Red asterisks mark a doublet of bumps in the middle of the root.

I knew a day of little finds was coming, and yesterday happened to be that day. Looks like a huge amount of rain had come through, which I thought would be a good thing, but it just washed sand over top of everything. There is a dark, muddy layer where I often find nice angustidens, and a lighter layer below that has sand and clay. I pulled a vert out of the lighter layer, and it's not the typical small, round vert I find. Fish, shark, or something else? I also found what I just assumed was a broken angy in the bottom of the creek and stuck it in a bag. I looked at it today and realized it isn't an angy, and is more than half there. Best guess is a mako, but I have no idea. Sorry, I am really struggling to get good photos of it. The third pic is just to show the nutrient foramen. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks, everyone!

Found this tooth 7/19 on beach in water, Cape May, New Jersey. Sunset Beach on Delaware Bay/ Atlantic Ocean. Need help with ID and authenticity. Thank You.

I have just bought a good bunch of stuff from @BellamyBlake (good seller by the way!) and was hoping for some help identifying the teeth please. Most are from Peace river or bone valley area I think, I am not sure if that is the same place? The very last tooth in the first pic (5) might be from Maryland and could be a Hastalis? The first lot was labelled as having Lemon, Bull and Hemi? On the first pic 2, 3 and 4 all have serrations and on second pic 3 and 4 have them.

Picked this up in a junk shop today because of the marking on the root which I think gives it a bit more character. Unsure of the ID though the shop owner says it was from Morocco. Measures 31mm from root to tip and is 34mm wide. Does anyone also recognise the curved marking. on the root?

From the album: Galveston Fossils
Spotted this one at night - best way to beat the heat during the Summer, but makes hunting much more difficult than it already is in Galveston. Tiger sharks appear to be less common than Carcharhinus; this is from the extant species: Galeocerdo cuvier. -

Razor sharp sandbar shark tooth. Lovely dark blue when it was still wet. -

After drying out, some teeth can change their color, typically getting a bit lighter.
