Hello! I’ve been a shark tooth hunter for several years now and have tried to find places around the South to keep my mind going and I found a newer spot for me in Andalusia, AL. And along the way I have found a few teeth styles I haven’t seen before and was looking for any kind of help identifying. Thanks so much for any help!

Well over a decade ago I found a Hexanchus shark tooth in matrix in the Monterey Formation in California. It passed through many hands later, eventually ending up with Doug Donald. I think it sold in the auction of his collection when he passed away. Anyone know who has it now?

I just obtained a new fossil and tried to take it out of the rock, but in the process I discovered that the root of one of this tooth was artificially shaped with a chalk-like material. Moreover, it seems to be squeezed by the stratum, causing the entire crown to be rotated to the left, so I decided not to continue cleaning to avoid the entire specimen from breaking. (The longest side of this tooth is three inches long.)

Hey Everyone, I got a couple shark teeth restored and I am very unhappy with the results. Is there any way to have someone else redo the restoration or if not, at least remove the putty/paint? I'm not sure what to do at this point and was hoping there was a way to fix this. Thank you.

First off, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Andrew. I went on my first Sharktooth hunting trip last week. Made a trip down to STH and had a fun time. It only took 2 days and now I have the addiction! I have fished all of my life and I can compare fossil hunting to it. I’ve been doing lots of research and hope to get back to STH. I just got some Riker Cases in the Mail to store some of the Mako teeth I found. Thanks for having me here and if anyone ever wants to do some teeth hunting with I’d be more than happy to tag along!

I found this on the beach in Englewood Florida one year. I have always wondered what it was. I just enjoy the hunt for sharks teeth and other fossils. It's very calming for me I've finally decided to learn about my collection. This is my most curious piece. This forum is so cool. Wish I would have looked for y'all a long time ago. I hope the pictures are done correctly and do it justice. Maybe it's just a rock but I love it.

Hello, I found this shark tooth today at the Jersey shore (Sea Isle City). Can someone please help me identify it and possibly let me know how old you think it might be? Thanks in advance!

I think I saw this tooth form in an identification book at some point and laughed at it. It's such a weird tooth. However, I can't find the reference now. It's driving me crazy. Any ideas what this is? It is possible that the tooth was reworked from an earlier formation (Old Church or Piney Point). From the Calvert Formation, bed 3. The scale box=5mm. Lingual surface? Labial surface? @jcbshark @MarcoSr @Al Dente @Gizmo @fossilsonwheels

Hi guys I have an angustidens tooth (on the left) and a Chubutensis Tooth (on the right) I am finding it hard to separate the 2 as different species as they look very similar, the only difference I notice is the roots are different, are there any key factors to look out for with identifying the 2. Thanks

Is this a fossil? What kind of shark tooth?

Is this a Pennsylvanian shark crusher plate? Is it worth mining out of the limestone?
Samurai posted a topic in Fossil ID
Location Missouri Found in limestone that was blasted out by construction workers The area is Pennsylvanian on the geological map I have also found prehistoric fish teeth in the area along with Brachiopods, Crinoids, nautiloids and horn corals. I was not a 100% if this was a fossil or just a natural formation in limestone. I only say it could be a Pennsylvanian shark crusher plate but I am not 100% sure Sorry for not having a good size reference, I have very little measuring tools, and did not bring it to the site I found it in, there will be a ruler measurement of the hammer below I was not sure if it was biological in origin but the ridge makes me question, and those could be possible pores at the bottom? In all honesty I do not want to make assumptions XD

Location: Missouri Local geological map dictates that the area is Pennsylvanian Found in a rock pile left by construction workers that blasted out the rock. I posted a few of these teeth onto r/FossilID but I have not gotten any good responses to the ones below! So I made an account to show my as of right now unidentified specimen! I have found a few shark teeth in the area, such as Petalodus , and a few teeth that look to be from Eugeneodontida. These are by far my smallest shark teeth, and I was very fortunate to find any!

Found this bad boy the other day, debating if its a meg or GW, what do you guys think?
-
Hey all. So just organizing my collection. I think its about time I finally ID'ed some things. Here are some shark teeth that I think have potential to be megamouth. If better pictures are needed, I can try..its hard to get pics of these.

Hey hey, hope everybody’s Tuesday went well! I’m new here, 25 and have much to learn in realm of fossil hunting. I’m hoping you can help. I live in Charleston, SC and travel up to Summerville from time to time to explore creeks searching for the ever elusive megalodon. I’m relatively green hunting fossil but I do have some good spots and good finds. Of all the effort I’ve given, and believe me I really have put hundreds of hours into searching, I still have not mastered the art of finding these suckers. I’m hoping someone can help. I’m thinking part of my shortcoming is not truly understanding the layering of fossil bands, or maybe I’ve just been unlucky. I’ve been recklessly searching creeks hoping to run into gravel. My soul needs a big megalodon tooth. I understand these spots are sacred and demand respect and discretion. Can someone offer me any guidance? PM me if you can help.

Why can I only find shark teeth and vertebrae
FossilizedFanatic posted a topic in Questions & Answers
How come I can find (for example in Antwerp) mostly shark teeth and vertebrae and never another part of a shark? -
I am going to take my 9 years old son to California in mid February for a week. We plan to collect shark tooth at Ernst Quarries and we also want to collect other fossils along the coast from San Francisco to LA. I did many research and found a few sites that we really want to go. Bean Creek at Scotts Valley for sand dollar, Capitola Beach for shells and maybe whale bone, Carmel valley for crab, and Jalama Beach for fish. I did more research and found out that the Bean Creek location is off limit now. I would like to ask if the other places still ok. We will fly to LA and drive up north to San Francisco so I don't want to have to drive all the way up just to know that we can't collect the fossil. Also if you have other locations that you can share, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and I can't wait still February.

I spent a few hours each at the North Sulphur River Texas and Post Oak Creek Texas. I had a nice variety of cretaceous finds.
