It is around 5mm in length measured along the root (not from the root to the tip) A view from the topside of teh teeth, showing the crushing surface Very curious as to what this tooth might be from, as I am finding something like this for the first time. Zebrashark maybe? Any help is appreciated!

Hello all. I was hoping someone would be able to help identify this tooth. I've been shelling for years, however fossil hunting is becoming a new and exciting passion of mine. This was found a couple of months ago on Holden Beach in North Carolina. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

Found this while going through shells on the beach. I'm thinking it's a shark tooth but the cracks/splits on one side is confusing me. Tried to search and Google came up with a fossil so I decided to post here. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys! I just found this shark tooth on the beach in Duck OBX. My husband thinks it’s a shell but I really think it’s a shark tooth. Tell me what you think!

These are some of my Sharktooth Hill finds from 2019. Was wondering if the first pics are a vertabra? The other pics are a fish vert. Sharks vert. And a random cetacean vert. I suppose, sorry I’m posting so much , but I like that I can get some second opinions on my fossils.

Hastalis (broad toothed mako/narrow white) or Plicatilis (giant white)
Rock36 posted a topic in Fossil ID
My daughter found this slightly over 2 inch tooth diving off Venice Beach, Florida in March. Boat operator and I both immediately thought it was a hastalis (broad toothed mako/narrow white). However, now that I have been reading more on great white lineage and evolution, I’m wondering if it’s perhaps a plicatilis (giant white). Or…are those two actually the same? Any help appreciated…thank you! here’s the link that got me wondering: https://www.fossilguy.com/gallery/vert/fish-shark/giant-white/index.htm

I want to buy this Megalodon Shark Tooth, and I want to know if this is real or not. Can someone help me please? Apparently it's real with no restorations done. Found while diving approximately 40 miles off the coast of southeastern North Carolina.

This was found on the Potomac river in Westmoreland Virginia. I regularly find prehistoric shark teeth and alligator teeth here and today I found this monster. I am unsure of what it is and would be very appreciative if someone could help me identify. THANK YOU

Isurus hastalis Sarasota County, Florida -
Hey everyone. I've been blown away by some of the shark tooth restoration work out there so I wanted to learn this skill for myself. I practiced on a real beat up tooth I found. It was probably too challenging of a tooth to restore on my first attempt but I figured it would be a good opportunity to practice restoring the root as well as enamel. The sculpting material hasn't completely cured yet but when it does I will be smoothing it out and then painting it. The enamel areas definitely need smoothing. It's far from perfect but I just figured I'd share this first attempt. Below are is a photo of the tooth how it looked before, some progress pics, and how it currently looks. I'm going to keep practicing. If anyone has any tips or tricks that would be awesome!

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.

What is the definition of a “hubbell “type megalodon?
Jerrychang posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Just acquired a small megalodon tooth, I’m not sure if it is a hubbell type meg? The definition of hubbell is just ”heart shape and small” or is it has more specific definition?

Wondering what type of sharks teeth these are and possibly how old.

Just acquired this megalodon tooth from Indonesia, it has some kind of etching all over the crown, but both root and the crown are solid, not like most of the land find indo meg. I’m wondering if this tooth is digested ?

I found this tooth today in Colorado Springs. In the Pierre Shale formation. It looks very shark tooth like. I prepped it out a bit to expose it more. I think it might be Pseudocorax granti ? ... but I'm not sure. Could this be a shark tooth and if so what species?

Is this a shark tooth?

Figured I would post a short trip report from yesterday the 27-05-2017. This trip went to the eastern coastline of Denmarks mainland, and the visible cliffs here consist of bryozoan chalk. There is however a layer of roughly 500mm that is composed of cerithium chalk, which is my primary focus since it is here snails, ammonites, crabs, isopods and other fossils not preserved (or rarely) elsewhere reside. During winter, alot of the hardened chalk and flint goes through a freeze-thaw process many times leaving the pieces split in half, often broken at the weakest point witch is usually were the fossils are. During summer the opposite happens with thermal expansion, ultimately achieving the same result. Anyways here are some pictures of some of the finds Odontaspis? 12mm Bryozoan colony 70x80mm unknown snail 19mm,possibly Metacerithium balticum which the layer is called after but the preservation is not good enough Leptomaria sp. 35mm un-named snail 24mm

I've been visiting this forum since a long time and never registered. I appreciate how valuable its content is. Marine fauna has always been of my interest. As a kid I used to gather books with mosasaurids and plesiosaurids. I collect Carcharocles megalodon teeth (without restorations) and many other fossils, including these to be found in Poland as well. Stay safe everyone in this difficult time.

I did some surface hunting around the Big Brook region of New Jersey, came away with some nice finds but lots of questions. I did my best to guess from photos online, but would love a second opinion, and some of these I really just have no idea... maybe a worn mosasaur tooth? A fragment of sea turtle shell... or just a shell? A claw or small tooth from some sort of mammal? The last almost looks modern by the color but is fossilized behind (see final photo).
