Does anyone know why my meg tooth is spotted?
Gregorsamsa posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! Not too long ago I acquired this meg tooth. Although I love the way it looks, I am unsure why it does look like this. Usually teeth seem to be more even colored. Does anyone more knowledgeable know? -
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!

Hi everyone! I’m a high schooler who is very interested in paleontology and archeology. I visited Calvert Cliffs in Maryland and found these fossils. The first photo contains teeth and I’m interested what creatures they may be from. The second photo is full of random things that could be something but may just be pieces of shells (I think there may be a fossilized crab pincer/claw). Take a look!

Mosasaur jaw with shark- and replacement tooth?
Jurassic_Nature posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I was wondering which parts of this rooted mosasaur tooth are real. There is a second tooth in it which looks like a replacement tooth and next to it there is also a shark tooth. Can you tell if the bones of the jaw are real? I thought the bigger tooth could be glued on the root, like it's often the case with mosasaur teeth from morocco. And why is there a shark tooth in the bone? Any insight is appreciated. -
Hey, going through some finds of last year i came across this tiny Hexanchid tooth. 0,9cm x 0,5cm, Miocene/Pliocene, Antwerp area, Belgium I've seen Hexanchid posterior teeth before and they look quite different.. (from the book 'Neogene Sharks of Antwerp' by Stephane Knoll) Could mine be juvenile Notorynchus or Hexanchus? Thx, Dries

Heading over to SE Asia in December for some diving. I wanted to see where I could possibly go personally and try and find some teeth. I've read about Sarawak, Bruit Island in Malaysian Borneo. I've read about West Java and the cities that produce amazing fossils. I need more information on exactly where? What other areas may produce teeth? Where could I go myself? Are there any guide? Does anyone have any friends that would take me? Anywhere that's easy to access? Again, I know about the sites in West Java but those seem a little harder to access. Any instagram pages of people that find fossils over there, I'll message them myself lol. I am really just trying to find someone that lives over there to talk to. I've messaged the account that posted about Bruit Island, but that was years ago and doubt they're still active on this forum. I wouldn't even mind a few small teeth on a beach somewhere, just to say I found some over there would be awesome. Any information anyone could offer will be greatly appreciated! Thanks again, Indy

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.?- 5 replies

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:

From the album: Fossils
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.-
