Long overdue to post about some of my NC finds from earlier this year! First up was a very exciting trip to the NC Triassic to look for a variety of plant fossils, which were my first Mesozoic plants. Beautiful white coloring on some of them as well, the matrix is extremely soft (you can easily scrape it with your finger nails) so I've done some experimenting with how to best consolidate them without damaging the visual effect. Not a ton of variety at the site, but they are abundant and sometimes surprisingly well preserved. I have found Otozamites hespera and Otozamites powelli, as well as a few other kinds of plants. I also disturbed a "hibernating" lizard, initially I was concerned that my digging had injured him, but after a some time in the sun he scampered off seemingly no worse for the experience.

Recently just got back from a trip on Tybee Island! During this trip I went out looking for shark teeth several times a day, and even did a tour with Sundial Charters! Overall in 6 days I found over 150 shark teeth and countless other fossils! I'll be posting them on here! Here's the coolest tooth I found actually on Tybee, I believe it's a Great Hammerhead.

Hello again, dear forum users. At this point in time, we began to study a point with a Cretaceous (we believe that this is Campanian based on the fauna of shark teeth and lithology) fauna. These are mainly shark teeth and fragments of cartilaginous fish. But there are also such mysteries. The main version is that this is either a fragment of coral or fragments of sea urchin needles. Particularly interesting is the strange formation on one of them, as if something had attached itself and was about to grow - a brachiopod? The third question is about the tooth of synechodus, is it a tooth of synechodus lerichei? I'm right? Best regards, Anton.

Hello all. I have this one shark tooth from the London clay and I’m really stuck on its identity. I’ve already ruled out Striatolamia due to the lack of lingual folding and shape of the cusplets. The only two options I have are Hypotodus verticalis and Glueckmanotodus heinzelini, but it has features of both and also has features that both do not present. It’s from the London Clay formation at Walton-on-the-Naze, UK. The age is early Eocene (Ypresian). Any help would be appreciated.

Found on the coast of Hilton Head South Carolina USA. I am quite unsure of what this is, it’s very eroded and might ether be unidentifiable, or just a funny looking rock. However, I find it looks very tooth like, with one wide end, and one pointy end, as well as a cavity that is open at the wide end and gently tracks further into the “tooth” My first thought was a premolar of some sort of primitive whale sans the roots. But that seems unlikely. Please share your thoughts! I’d love any sort input and if you would like a better picture of a certain angle, let me know! Here are the pictures 1. Front side 2.Back side 3.Right side 4.left side 5.Top side 6.Bottom side And here is a video of the specimen rotating! (ignore the sparkling putty, it was the only option I had to get it to sand up nice while still being visible at all angles) IMG_0199.mov
