Here I am with a new fossil. It's nothing special but where I live sellers usually have only shark teeth from Morocco / North Africa. I'm not an expert in the "shark teeth identification" field and I can only make hypothesis about the specie it belonged to. Suggestions? What are the diagnostic characters that can be observed in it?

My friend has always had this tooth in his collection that he found in gravel that was in a garden in Paris, it is obviously a shark tooth but we have no clue as to what species it is. And it would be helpful if someone could tell me what species of prehistoric shark it is.

I found this yesterday, November 26, down at Venice Beach, FL near the fishing Pier, along with an assortment of shark's teeth, coral and other interesting things. It looks like a tooth to me but I didn't think it was a shark tooth. Does anyone know what it is from? Thanks in advance! I'll have to post separate posts for different angles; I guess my files are large.

Puzzle in poop - Cartilage, denticles or tooth plate in coprolite?
GeschWhat posted a topic in Fossil ID
I have been finding a lot of inclusions in a batch of coprolites from the Smoky Hill Chalk that assumed were bits of cartilage. One of the newer specimens from that batch had a piece of the material in question on the surface; enabling me to view it from the side. They look like little teeth, so now I don't know what I have. I have one other specimen that has a couple of the little tooth-like structures intact (one that I posted a while back that has possible Ptychodus tooth fragments). Is this skin with denticles, cartilage, a skull part or some sort of tooth plate? As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

I managed to get in 3 hunts on my 14 days off from offshore this time. I found more artifacts than fossils but I did manage to find a nice Mosasaur vert, shark teeth and a really old coke bottle. This is a mix from Post Oak Creek and one more creek that I hunt. I gave away all the teeth except for the perfect ones to my buddy since it was his first time ever hunting.

Found this tooth in Bakersfield, in the Round Mountain Silt formation on Nov 12, 2017. From looking at the diagrams on this site, I think it could be megamouth shark tooth. But I am not sure, since I think that is not a tooth found in that formation. Any comments or ideas are appreciated.

A tiny tooth of an Abdounia minutissima. Bought from an old collection. The site at which it was collected, the Egem quarry, is now unfortunately closed. (Thanks to @darktheumbreon for finding the family!)

I found this tooth a few days ago, while walking around a limestone quarry in Cardenas, Cuba. I was digging through discarded pieces of limestone blocks, threw a large piece and the stone split showing me this beautiful tooth. It measures 5.015". This tooth is my nicest personal find and one of the nicest teeth I have seen come out of Cuba. I usually buy my teeth and consider myself super lucky to find this myself.

Hello Everyone! I can honestly, finally, say that I'm beginning to figure out the fossil-enigma that is Summerville, SC. It is a strange land where fossil deposits start and end within a matter of feet - a few inches of glorious gravel separating the sandy, ghostly-grey Chandler Bridge and the compact brownish marl of the Ashley Formation. If, by some miracle, you can find a ditch with the exact right depth, enough width, a little flowing water within a fossil-bearing strata that hasn't been hit by a million other collectors, you just might be able to put something together. Thanks to some nasty weather and a couple of days off of work, I've managed to finally find some spots that fit the bill. The finds pictured below come from two creeks (of maybe 15 that I checked) over the course of the last two days. The angustidens were the obvious gems, with one shamer nearly four inches long and nearly four inches wide! All-in-all, its been a great couple of days and I couldn't be happier with my success. I'll be planning another trip in the near future! Take care and as always.. Happy hunting, SOSC

My attempt at a one row megalodon and great white jaw
mattbsharks posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
This is my attempt at arranging the teeth. I thought it would be fun to try. I have no idea how to construct the actual jaw or how to do proper dentition. Dog provided for reference. The photos were too large to post so here are the links: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QcbeYzTMs6MnBNbnlfcTJPcFk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QcbeYzTMs6cFVDbVBaclBaanM/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QcbeYzTMs6VVNWdkVBNGVpMzQ/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QcbeYzTMs6NnJTMldiT08wbEk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QcbeYzTMs6Q3h2cGhwTVN2VFk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QcbeYzTMs6QWhPc2ROX1JRT1U/view?usp=sharing

Hello folks. I bought this tooth about 10 years ago from a seller in Georgia. He had no clue as to what shark it came from. I just recently made a necklace out of it and felt like I should know what species it’s from. It also appears to be very old. Anyone have a clue? Very much appreciated!

Genuine Meg tooth?
thelivingdead531 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone! I found this megalodon tooth on an auction site, and considering the good quality of it and the very low price, I was hoping if someone more experienced could tell me if they see any red flags on it before I put an offer in. It looks nice to me, but I'm nowhere near qualified to give a sound judgement on something like this. The seller has it listed as being 4 inches high. Also, this and one other (much more expensive) Meg tooth appear to be the only things ever listed from the seller, so I'm very hesitant. Any advice on the tooth in question would be appreciated.

Some teeth I found from Brownies that don't look like any other sand tigers I usually find. Many of them are very worn and broken. I'm no expert but my guess is that they are Eocene teeth. Any help is appreciated, thanks. Some of the larger ones

Is this a white shark tooth or a small meg? Scale in cm/mm (Peace River, Florida)

I would like to get some fossils to seed some areas for both my sons to find some interesting things and to better learn the diversity of what is out there. I was thinking shark teeth , ammonites and trilobites stuff like that can any one help with this. I could ether trade or buy doesn't matter I'm just looking for a variety of stuff.

I have this planus tooth with a bonus tooth stuck in the root matrix. Was wondering if anyone could ID the smaller tooth? thanks! R~

Went to Big Brook NJ for the first time this summer with the kids. Liked it so much we went back several times. For first timers we were very happy with the hauls. May look rather plain to the seasoned people here but wanted to share. Thanks, Jason

So I'm cruising the bottom in really, really strong current. We're talking get-out-your-screwdriver-and-hang-on-for-dear-life strong. I've got a butt-load of lead on me, though, so I'm able to make some headway with my screwdriver. I find a few smaller teeth and put them in my pouch--a real trick with the current hammering you. So the next small tooth I run across, a pretty little lower mako, I have a little argument with myself before picking it up. Finally I figure, what the hell, and grab it. While I'm putting it in my bag, a big, ghostly white triangle appears right under my nose. As I look, I realize it's a megalodon blade, half-buried in the sand. Darn thing is almost pure white, I only noticed after staring right at it for about ten seconds. If I hadn't stopped to grab that mako, never would've even noticed. So I put a finger under the blade, thinking, "there's no way this thing is whole, that would just be too perfect." I lifted. And whaddaya know, darn thing was all there! It dried beautifully. My first white meg. It comes in right at four inches.

Triassic shark teeth from the Rhaetian bone bed of Somerset, UK
Aurelius posted a topic in Member Collections
The coast of Somerset is famous for one of the exposures of the Rhaetian Penarth formation, which is better known from Aust, where it is better exposed. It contains many reptile bones, fish scales, shark teeth, fin spines, coprolites, that sort of thing. On my last visit I didn't find any of the blocks which contain large bones, but I did find some containing large numbers of tiny teeth and very small bones. These blocks can be broken down to reveal large quantities of fossils. These teeth are absolutely tiny, some as small as 1mm across and none bigger than 3mm. They can barely be made out by the naked eye, except as a shiny black dot on the rock. 75mp panorama of one of the larger teeth (approx 3mm) I placed this tooth on a magazine to illustrate scale. The letters are standard small print.

Hi Everyone, I recently came into possession of some megalodon teeth that are absolutely perfect for restorations. They started out as 3/4 complete teeth. This one ended up being 6 11/16 inches which is my biggest tooth ever! It has some really nice serrations on it all of the way around. I did restorations to the tip, severe enamel peel on the front and back, blade near the bourlette, and lots of reconstruction of the root.
