Hi everyone! I am a long time lurker of this community, I browsed these forums endlessly on advice, pictures, and video from many members who made me feel really confident in going out and actually getting into rockhounding. Me and my fiance wanted to document our trip to the Peace River in Florida. So we did. This is our first upload to our channel, and hopefully we will be uploading more as we go on more adventures. My goal with this video was for people to be able to see what it would be like to pull up to a boat ramp and go look for sharks teeth. We found a really nice young whale or dugong vertebrae, its a beautiful peace . We have only been hunting these past couples weekends as the water level has been the lowest its been since we've start this hobby and we have been pleasantly surprised with the kindness of the people around us, but also the success we have had in the river. We found our first juvenile meg tooth on our first dig in the river near the brownville boat ramp. It was super fun and now im really hooked on this river! I have attached the video below, let me know what you think? Youtube Link!

Hello all, I’ve been interested in fossil hunting since I was a kid and have lived in some areas of the US that offered opportunities to do so. Found a fossilized whale bone in California as a kid and been hooked ever since. Hunted trilobites in Utah as a newlywed and now hunt sharks teeth on the weekends here in Florida with my wife and kids. Would like to put my kids on some larger teeth and larger ice age bones in Florida or make some trips up to the Carolinas. Looking to do some research and plan a good trip before my kinds head off to University. Thanks for creating such a great forum!

Hey everyone. I have recently gotten my family into the study of paleontology, but so far, we've only bought fossils online. i.e fossilera. For spring break planning on going Sharks teeth hunting in Summerville South Carolina and are looking for good spots to find sharks teeth and other things. Does anyone here have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Any help anyone could provide to help identify the species of the teeth I found I would greatly appreciate it. I believe #1 is a Tiger Shark. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello everyone, Ward from, well, originally from Arizona, but now living in Maryland. I like to collect it all, Meteorites, fossils, antiquities, WWII relics. Most of the fossils I have in my collection come from the Tucson Gem and Mineral show. A few weeks ago I made a trip to Brownies Beach and came home with a nice little collection of sharks teeth. I had a great time hunting for them and can’t wait to do it again. Love, love, love hunting for stuff.

Hi a I am a fossil collector from South Carolina. I have been collecting fossils for around 2 years now. I got Interested in collecting fossils after I moved down to South Carolina. I like collecting sharks teeth and other fossils. I would say that i'm not a fossil expert but I am good at identifying them. I joined because I thought it would be nice to see what others find and I like to talk about fossils with others.

Hi Everyone! I’m new here and hope to get some knowledge. I have been an avid shark tooth hunter for about 6 years. I’m looking to expand to all fossils though, I’ve done lots of research lately and would love to know more about shark tooth hunting in particular. I have mostly only been on beach to look but have researched and would love to find the bigger teeth and Megalodon teeth and whatever other fossils I can find. My question is, I will be going to Myrtle Beach in the next couple of weeks does anyone have any suggestions to go look for the teeth I mentioned above near there besides on the beach? Also I’m looking to go to Summerville soon but not on this trip. Thanks guys, I’m happy to have found this place.

Going to post this multiple times due to multiple images. There are just a couple here that I am most curious about but would love any and all feedback. I will post in the order of priority for lack of better words. For some context, took the family to the peace river up in Zolfo Springs, near Arcadia. We found approx 50 teeth, mostly small but some cool ones. Lots of Ray plates and some bones. Most of these are placed up against a US penny simply for a size reference. Any help in identifying would be much appreciated. Thanks all!!!

I would REALLY appreciate ANY help to ID these fossils found on Manasota Key Beach this year. PICTURE #1 (IMG_3959.jpg) IS OF ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!

Multiple Trips - Most Sharks Teeth i Have Ever Found!!!
TomWhite posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi all! Have been out the past couple of weekends to my local sharks teeth spot - Bawdsey in Suffolk, the first three trips i spent on the first area of the beach directly below the red crag cliffs. Found a few but none of really any quality. Best one was a very pretty patterned Carcharocles auriculatus ? (Can anyone confirm?) seen in the first photo top left, and a very worn large tooth (seen in the second photo, looks a bit Meggy?) - I have no idea about species on this one! As well as the usual Carcharias hopei and Striatolamia macrota, a couple of fish verts, some seed pods and ray teeth. Had my most productive day ever yesterday though, after not finding to many previously in my usual spots, went to a spot slightly further along and ended up with 156 teeth in about two hours!! None that were out of the ordinary however just the usual species. Some kid on the beach who was also searching had a perfect Otodus, it must have been nearly 3 inches long!! I was rather jealous of him! Can anyone ID the larger tooth that is bottom left? Still after the 6 inch Meg from this spot! Thanks for reading!!!

All, im a newbie to the forum and after some advice. 40+ years of fossil hunting and I have yet to find a sharks tooth. Where are the best places in uk? I live on south coast.

Greetings - I have had fun with family walking the beach at Casey Key near Venice Beach, Florida. I have been enjoying the conversations here and am hoping you all may have ideas about these finds. I am posting a few overview photos - labelled - and then a few close-ups - I have more photos (larger, too). Most of these are under 6 cm (1.c which looks like a hollowed-out bone is 19 cm.). I believe 1.a ia shark's tooth and 4.c is a stingray plate. Thank you for any assistance... will look forward to your ideas - of them all the one labelled "H" (looks like some sort of claw) and item 3 "some sort of tooth" may be the most interesting? I have three others I would like to post. Noelle

Hello everyone! Thanks for letting me join. Once a year I get to spend a couple of weeks at Myrtle Beach, and I spend half my time looking for fossils in the sand. There is something just so wonderful about holding evidence of our planet's prehistoric past. I've gotten pretty good at identifying various shark's teeth, sting ray barbs, bone fragments, coral types and such. But lately I've been trying to branch out and investigate other shiny black pieces that I've spent years passing up because I had no idea what they were. I'm hoping the expertise on this site will help me put a name to some of the new things I'm finding. Have a wonderful new year! Paula

I found this Ptychodus marginalis on a sandbar on a river this spring after a large flood. The river cuts through the lower Smoky Hill Chalk of Northwest Kansas. After I picked it up, I asked myself "is this real?" It is!!! 54mm across.

These are a few other fossis I have found in the past .I have collected fossils here for nearly 40 years but most of them have been given away or donated to a local museum here in Birmingham . The sharks teeth are Cretaceous form the Mooresville chalk formation . The Echinoid was found at St.Stephens Quarry years ago in the Yazoo Clay . The little Trilobite came from a site near Russelville in the Tuscumbia Formation . I have found fossils all over , these are the ones that are most convenient to photograph at this time . The arrowhead was found in a creek while collecting fossils .

I made a trip over to Green Mill Run in NC this past weekend to look for fossils in the creek. My son and I had a wonderful time and found some great sharks teeth and other stuff. I'm stuck though on trying to identify this tooth. It does not look like any of the other teeth that I have found in the creek. Could it be a land mammal tooth? Thanks in advance for any ideas that you may have.

Recently moved to NC and my husband and I have have found some pretty neat things on Onslow Beach (Camp lejeune). We would love help identifying some of them as we are new to the world of fossil hunting. The only one we are pretty sure on is the bottom right being a crocodile tooth? Thanks in advance!

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.

Hi, Most of these specimens i have found at Bawdsey, Suffolk. Is anyone able to give an identification on them please? After looking on the internet a bit, i think the majority are Cosmopolitodus Hastalis? However i am probably completely wrong! There are no visible serrations on any of the larger teeth. The first tooth was given to me, so i have no idea of where it was found. I will attach more photos in the thread. Thanks.

Been a while since I subbed the Fossil Forum . Thought I would share some photos of the teeth I collected last Saturday . We screened for about 4 hours using 18 inch screens . Hope you like what you see . The first photo is of ptychodus shark teeth a small fish vertebra and a couple of drum fish teeth . The second is an example of the finds for the day , I have a third photo of just as many squalicorax teeth but didn't have room to upload . Will do another message .
