From the album: Shark teeth and associated fossils from Antwerp, Belgium
Hastalis, Belgium, Antwerp area -
Hello fellow fossil lovers, I’m from Belgium and have been hunting for minerals and fossils since I was a kid. These days however my focus lies mainly with fossil sharkteeth which can be found in the general region of Antwerp. Kind regards, Charlotte

I went to Post Oak Creek in Sherman, Texas today, and I found quite a good mix. A few of the teeth were a bit unusual. In the 4th photo I have a few questions. On the top row, second tooth from the right, is that a rodent tooth? Then (4th picture) second tooth from the right, that one has a strange “hook to it”. Also, second row, third from the right. Anyone know what those are? Thanks in advance!

I spent the morning screening in the Post Oak Creek of Sherman, Texas today. I found lots of small shark teeth...all different types. Tooth enamel from Mastodon/Mammoth and bits and pieces.

I took a trip up to Sherman, Texas today to sift around the Post Oak Creek. Here are my finds. A few good teeth and fish vertebrae, but mostly bits and pieces and tiny teeth. Do any of you know what the white tooth at the top of the group picture might be? I included a close up. Also the black tooth (?) to the right of the white one. Closeups as well. Thanks in advance!!!

Hi y'all, Nothing to spectacular to report just excited to have a place to hunt since a recent move. I did enough research to know about 20 mile creek but not to know there is an actual fossil park along it. So I picked a random bridge along the creek that appeared to have some exposed bars. I was pretty excited to find a few shark tooth shards as soon as I got below the bridge. My wife and I set out to get to the exposed bars we could see in the distance. Unfortunately these bars were mostly either entirely sand or clay with little gravel to speak of. At one point I slipped on a rock and went completely in the creek. LoL Later we incountered a rather aggressive snake(appeared to be a cotton mouth) despite it having half a rat or mouse hanging out of its mouth. Since there was a good bit of gravel under the bridge I went back to the car and grabbed the sifters. After sifting for awhile we did come up on some shark teeth, a gastropod, and what looks like maybe a piece of enchodus jaw bone. I will definitely be back. We topped off the day visiting the Shiloh battle field. Here are the pics below. The first being my finds and the second the wife's finds. Anybody have any other good creeks to recommend for fossils or points in NE MS? Thanks!

I found a nice little assortment of micro shark teeth today in the North Sulphur River in Ladonia, Texas. These were found about 3 feet up in the wall of the bank. Anyone know what type of sharks these are? There’s also a little round black unidentified object. I thought it might be a tiny fish very, but unsure about that.

I am going thru last seasons finds, trying to find space in the collection. It is a nice way to pass the time until hunting season opens. In 2016, that did not happen until the 3rd of November.. I hate to think I may have 5 more weeks to go. Some very small shark teeth. The one I stopped to think about is lower left -- broad root like a Mako, but serrations.. I just do not know. It also has a point that tips up. as do 3-4 other small teeth I picked up that day. So , what are these small teeth? Thanks to the shark teeth experts on TFF.

Recently Mrs. beachbum and myself met up with Sir Tommy the Toad in Gainesville for a quick hunt. We met at a spot where Sir Tommy showed us a creek that produces some nice fossils. That's a neat little spot I look forward to hunting with Sir Tommy. From there we went to a favorite creek of mine. It's a hit or miss spot, but after the recent rains you can't say no. The three of us work the creek for a while before Sir Tommy had to leave. We stayed a bit more along with a guest before the rains returned. We didn't do to bad for the amount of time there and now we're looking forward to heading back.

Hello fellow fossil hunters, After one month, sorry for the delay, here it finally is: my trip report of the fossil hunting in Cape Town, South Africa! First off, I just wanna say this: before my trip to SA, I asked here whether it was possible to hunt there. Everyone said that SA had strict laws on fossil hunting, and that I would have no chance there. Obviously I was disappointed, yet also confused, because on Fossiel.NET (Dutch version of TFF), there were two locations with lots of info about them in SA, and they didn't say anything about the law. After that, on Instagram, I met a guy that lived in Cape Town, and his posts were those of fossils he had found there! So I sent him a message asking about the rules, and he said the following: fossil extraction/digging is forbidden, but if the fossils are found in loose sediment, you are allowed to pick them up. Which was great news, because this meant I could hunt at Milnerton! Now, to the report. As we arrived in the parking, we saw the big sandy beach stretching out. As we got onto it, we could barely see 20 meters in front of us. Then the fog cleared up slightly, giving us a better view of the beach. We then met a lady who was also hunting for sharkteeth, and she gave me some tips for searching. As we continued our walk on the beach, after about an hour of having found nothing except for a few modern seashells, we arrived at the lighthouse. We got up close to the lighthouse and noticed some people sitting there, with a towel in front of them. We went over to see what they were selling, and, of course, there were sharkteeth! Extinct giant whites (mako's) and great whites, many complete and in good condition. They also made necklaces out of the teeth that were less well preserved. So we bought 3 sharkteeth from them, and also got a small necklace for free, all that for only 120 ZAR (more or less 8 USD)! They were extremely nice with us, and gave us many more tips for finding fossils, as we had explained that we also love to find them personally. Thanks to their very helpful tips, we soon found some teeth too! And we also found some pieces of bone, very similar to those I find on the Zandmotor, my usual hunting spot in the Netherlands. Finally, towards the end, I even found a big whale vert! All in all it was an amazing day, and the weird weather made it a unique experience.

Hey! We went to Florida last summer and had the pleasure of doing a fossil hunt with Jeff (@jcbshark), which was great . My family has vacation right now and decided to go to Florida again, but I couldn't join them unfortunately, because I don't have vacation at the moment . They loved the hunt last year and wanted to go again, so Jeff kindly offered to take them on a hunt again last Sunday! My family had a great time hunting with Jeff, Chris (@Search4) and his wife Liz, and the finds were amazing! Thanks a million guys My family had a awesome time and they're thrilled with the finds! Some of the finds Kind regards, Angie

I have collected a considerable amount of Cowshark teeth, over the years. All have been found in the Calvert Cliffs.These include whole ones and partials. All of the teeth that I have found have the same characteristic except one. The serrations that are on the first blade, are small, stay close to the blade, and follow the contour of the blade going up. Except for one that has larger cusps, that grow out and away from the first blade. I have seen cowshark symphaseals and I know this is not one. But my question is this odd tooth, is it just from a different placement in the jaw, a pathological tooth, or a different species. Any help would be gladly apprecieted. 1st pic is of the typical teeth. 2nd pic is of tooth in question. Thanks for looking.

Took the family to the beach for spring break. Had a great time. My 6 year old found our first ever cow shark tooth our first day on the beach searching. I found my first one two days later. Lots of small teeth to be found on Amelia Island FL. Especially on the northern end of the island. Chartered a boat to take me to a couple of hot spots on old dredge spoil islands and had some better success as far as size and quantity with an average in both places of over 90 teeth an hour. Had a total of 1,133 teeth for the 5 day trip!

Chris and I got out for a well deserved hunt today in a Desoto county creek. We've missed a few weeks this past month and it was nice to get back in the swing of things and find a couple nice pieces to bring home as well. I didn't find any huge pieces but did find a few good ones and it was a great day weather wise to be out in the sunshine state

Hi all, During my May holidays, I will be going to South Africa for a safari! I am very excited about the trip. We are also going to spend a few days in Cape Town, and I saw that it was possible to hunt for fossils there (finds include sharkteeth, like megs or great whites), on the beaches Big bay beach and Milnerton Beach. https://english.fossiel.net/sites/fossil_site.php?plaats=287 But I remember hearing that fossil collecting in South Africa is forbidden. But that surprises me, because nowhere on the link above does it say that it's forbidden to hunt, in fact it seems more as if they encourage you to hunt... Therefore I was wondering: is it possible to hunt at Cape Town? If yes, under what terms? If no, then why would Fossiel.net supply a location description that's illegal? Best regards, Max

When I got home from work today, I had three surprises waiting for me. Two packages from trades with Maxfossils and Britishcannuk, as well as my Florida fossil permit.Yayyyyy! Here are pics of what I got. The first four teethare from Max. They are from Belgium. From Russ I received Bull and lemon shark Teeth from The Bone Valley formation in Florida. Thank-you very much Max and Russ. These teeth make nice additions to my collection!

Hi all! I have a question for you fossil-hunters, especially those from the Netherlands and Belgium. What is your favorite fossil beach from Zeeland (NL)??? I know that Kaloot, Cadzand and Ritthem are pretty good, but I was wondering what the best one was for finding sharkteeth. Perhaps you know another beach in Zeeland that's better? Anyways I'd like your advice on this, and tell me all the info you have! (eg: what you found, photos, access, etc.) Actually, I'd like you to take this as a game, and that you "advertise" the beach to me, to make me want to go there; if you see what I mean! Happy hunting! Max

Hi all! Here are three sharkteeth I have from Balegem, Belgium. The sharkteeth there are from the Eocene. Those will soon go into a trade, so I need to get an ID quickly! Right now, the ID I have is this (from left to right): Physogaleus latus, Lamna nasus, Jaekelotodus trigonalis. Are those ID correct? Best regards, Max

Why do I love sharkteeth? Let me count the ways. To get to the jist of my list, could take me several days. I love to find them in water, even better on dry land. But my favorite place to find them, is nestled in my hand. I love all types of sharkteeth. No matter how big or small. I really, really love them. I love them one and all. The moral of my story, I hope you all can see, I really love sharkteeth whether Megs or Winkleri.
