Hello, all. I am from Maryland but grew up in Sarasota, Florida. I collect Shark's teeth (mostly are from Venice Beach). I am not very experienced at identifying them, though I have a good collection. I decided to join the community because I have had 2 large shark's teeth for quite a long time and want to identify them and get an idea (if possible what they are worth). Your forum was suggested as a way to do this by this site: fossilera.com.

So a little over a week ago I found the tiniest trilobite. So dang small I can’t begin to photograph it. Last night I found the tiniest shark tooth (at least I think it is shark) I’ve ever seen. It was in gravel I brought home from Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas. I may have said this before, but I never thought I’d call a shark tooth adorable, but it’s pretty adorable if it is a shark tooth. I have no idea what kind it is is. I’m not sure I can get a high enough quality pic to get someone to help me ID it. But here it is just to share the cuteness. It might be 5 mm long. A bit closer up. The ridiculous thing is and it’s quite laughable, it’s the only shark tooth I have ever found in the POC after 5 trips! I even sift and sieve.

I found this tooth at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last week and I have no idea what species to which it belongs. Any help would be appreciated in figuring out what it is. Thanks!

Cris and I went out to enjoy some brutal summer heat, and find some fossils yesterday! The finds weren't quite as productive as some days at these sites, but we still had an awesome time and found some really cool stuff! The way one of the megs is found is absolutely nerve-wracking. You'll see!

Identification Help Please - Shark Tooth from Seagrove Beach, FL
MaximusTN posted a topic in Fossil ID
Please help identify this tooth found week before last at Seagrove Beach, FL in the Florida Panhandle. This little gem was the only tooth I found all week there. The tooth is smaller than the size of an M&M and has a notch in the middle at the top of the root. There appear to be serrations all along the tooth and in the area just below the root. Thanks- 10 replies

Found a Giant Florida Parotodus, Megs, a Great White, Mako, etc.
Cris posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
We (@addicted2fossils and myself) decided to go check out some dirt roads after some very heavy rain messed up our river sites. It turned out to be a pretty good call! We found a bunch of megs, a killer great white that we spotted at the exact same time and had to do a coin toss for, some great inverts and my favorite find of the day, a huge Parotodus benedeni from Florida! Check it out: Disclaimer: we get kinda weird in this vid. If you don't want to watch the video, here's some (but not all) of the day's finds:- 22 replies

Traveling to Summerville to hunt for Shark Teeth and other Fossils
Kroy posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello. My son and I are heading to South Carolina to Summerville area and Folly Beach area to search for Shark Teeth. This is a big trip from California for 4 full days and we hope to find some great fossils. This is August 4th-7th. We are doing an excursion on the 4th. But for the next day or two it is quite hard to figure which creeks/rivers are OK to go to which will give us some luck. Any insights? Checked the forums but it has been hard to find exactly where to go. On the last day we head to Folly beach to see what is there. Any insight on what section to start with? I have been following the tide charts. Thank you!- 6 replies

Hi all, the other day I went out hunting found some really cool stuff, which I'll post soon, but I find these 3 interesting teeth which I think are posterior megs, though I think one (smallest) is more likely than the other two. They were found in Havelock NC.

Hey guys, not really sure about this because I've never seen it happen, and I cant find anything online about it. One of my recent Great White tooth finds has started changing color. I haven't tried cleaning it whatsoever either. When it was found, it was a grayish black. Now it has some very prominent light brown colors coming out in it. Is there a good reason for why this might happen? Not sure if its normal or not. Just do not want it to become damaged. Here's a photo showing the coloration that is becoming more and more visible.

I had the pleasure of collecting at the Lee Creek Mine back in 2002 and am going through my finds now. I can't find anything similar to this tooth. In full disclosure, I plan to either sell, or donate, this as a recent move leaves me without space for my collection. Thanks Dave

I was looking for sea glass for my wife when my 7 year old says "here, put this shark tooth in your pocket ". I was fully ready to just toss it back down because sharks teeth aren't at this beach, or so I thought.

Hey everyone! I found this tooth in North Myrtle Beach while vacationing with my family. It washed up during high tide while I was playing with my kids in the surf. I’m interested in what type of shark this may have come from - my own internet searching leads me to think it is a great white tooth, though I’m unsure of the exact species (there seems to be a few different great whites). I want to know all I can find out about this tooth! I was absolutely ecstatic to find this thing, it is far different than all of the other smaller, black teeth I have found over the years. Thanks in advance!

Okay so I found one tooth that I know for a fact is indeed a shark tooth, however, I am still a little skeptical about the second one. It has the right shape and texture to it as well as what appears to be a root line. I also added a photo that compares the broken tips of the two, and the inner portion of them seem to match pretty well, but I am not really sure if it is a tooth or not. I am really looking to identify the first tooth if possible, and confirm or deny that the second is a tooth. These were both found on my last trip to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.

Hi Everyone! Fossil new guy here. Just recently moved to a beachside town in Spain. During my afternoon walk, I came across the "tooth" shown below. I'm located on the Atlantic side of Spain. The tooth was just mixed in with stones and shells along the shoreline. Any help would be great!

Found Myrtle Beach South Carolina, where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene material can be found. I know much of the root is missing, I can’t decide on what this tooth is. Any help appreciated!

I saw this Hemipristis tooth for sale, and I’m falling in love with it, but I was wondering if the blue color of it is a normal occurrence. It is from Bone Valley. Thanks in advance!
