good day everyone, this summer I went to Uzbekistan for holidays, knowing that I could have found some fossil, in fact once upon a time uzbekistan like many other countries was covered by the tethys sea! the great Aral lake (now almost dried up because of men) is what remains of the tethys. During my trip I found many formation rich of fossil, unfortunately the carbonate matrix was too hard to work without my beloved Estwing and I had to leave all those beautiful coral and shells . However during a visit at the bottom of Aral sea, inside the shale and sands exposed by the drying up of the sea,I found this beautiful shark tooth. Sharks are not my specialization so I'm a little bit lost. With a quick research I discovered that those Sediments are probably Eocene/oligocene in age. May it be a Striatolamia?

Me and my dad were fossil hunting in the Calvert Cliffs Formation in Maryland, at brownies beach when my dad found this beauty. I thought it was a bull shark at first but upon closer inspection I am unsure as it hooks off at the end to the left. If anyone can identify this it would be much appreciated!

Yesterday, I got back from a family vacation to California. While there, I was able to spend two days digging at the Ernst Quarries. The weather was beautiful and the teeth were plentiful! Carcharodon planus hiding in the rock.

Early Cretoxyrhina (vraconensis) dentition question
britishcanuk posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I’m wondering if anyone has put together a dentition of an early Cretoxyrhina with narrow lower teeth and cusped laterals and posteriors. If you have photos of something like this I would very much appreciate seeing what one looks like. Thanks in advance! R~ -

Hello Everyone, I had the honor of being invited by @markmg to a trip down into essentially ... a big hole in the ground. Woo Hoo !! A rather large gravel/sand pit that is being mined to 50-60ft ? We were not quite sure but hopefully at least as deep as the dredging that happens on the river. You know .. a play date ! .. haha Well, having just rained out my river trip on Friday I came prepared to slog through some mud. Let's just say it was lucky we didn't have a The Princess Bride (1987) moment because the water made the sand and mud a bit soft in some spots. The open pit has to be constantly pumped out or it would fill up with water and you'd have a nice deep pond ... not so good for a gravel business. Mark had been down in the pit on several occasions and asked that I join him and see if I couldn't help him find anything ... Mark was being brutally teased having previously come out and found - ON THE RAMP- a partial meg tooth. Well, we didn't find any mega-sharks down in the pit, but after exploring for about 90 minutes, the first small hints of the phosphate pebbles we were looking for started showing up. They were washing out of a layer sitting just above an impermeable formation of red compacted clay with shell impressions. Unfortunately the preservation was poor. And very crumbly .. I'm assuming these first finds had been sitting out too long and they were returning to the ground. They were encrusted with precipitated minerals and were delicate. The first hints that maaaaaybe this wasn't a dry hole ?? Some of the encrusted bone that didn't crumble to dust ....

Cooper River Megalodon (Fake or Real)
HunterMeg posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, You have been overwhelming helpful in previous posts. Thank you! A local person is wanting to sell this tooth. He says it is from the Cooper River. L1 is 5.81, L2 is 5.64 and W is 4.52. It weighs 15.6 oz. I looked at it under UV and magnifying glass, and it looked legit. Do you think it is real or fake?

Is this megladon tooth real?
NewbyCollector posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, I found this stunning piece online and am very keen to get it as my first real quality piece. My only concern is that is the quality too good to be true? I really do hope it's all it's said to be though! Seller reported no restoration or repairs done. Appreciate any thoughts on this! Thanks in advance! Cheers!

A few pics from my 1st and only day at Purse State Park. I'm not really sure what I have here but would love to hear from you guys. I tried to group them with similar teeth but I'm sure I mixed a few. Sorry for no scale in the photos. I'll have to get a flat ruler for the future I guess. All teeth were between1/4" and 3/4" more or less. And I may have some of the same teeth in different pics. Thanks for looking. Andy

I compared my shark tooth to different shark teeth images on google and think that it came from an Angustidens shark? Am I correct? Thanks guys!

I am new to collecting meg teeth so I hope my question is not “dumb.” Are the tooth cusps on a C. chubutensis vestigial structures from the earlier three pronged tooth like on O. obliquus? I read a physics article about how the megs tooth serration evolves from the smaller prong teeth getting sharks caught on larger prey causing them damage. Did the improved serration as the sharks evolved to be larger lead adult C. megladon adults not having cusps at all? I hope the question makes sense.
