  1. I’m trying to get better at identification so I labeled the pieces with what I think they are but some I can’t figure out. I would love some guidance if anyone has any input! Thanks Fernandina Beach Amelia Island Florida USA

    Large Hemipristis serra Shark Tooth

    From the album: Fossils

    This is my largest Hemipristis tooth. At 2.001 inches it just barely gets me into the 2 inch snaggletooth club! I found it in Yorktown Formation sediments in the Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina.

    Summerville/Greens Mill Run side trip

    Better late than never right?! I'm finally getting around to sharing my finds from a recent trip up the east coast for work, with a few pitstops along the way! The first two images were from an all day hunt in a creek in Summerville, with Folly Beach Fossils! The third image are my spoils from a solo half a day in GMR... Right by elm street park, because the water was way too high to go further down stream from there, and I didn't have much time! What a great time finding a couple of new species and making a few more friends along the way! I cannot wait to get back up there and hunt again!!!
  7. So I believe this to be a a pathological snaggletooth upper - but it may just be a posterior or something? Wanted other people’s opinions! the very bottom corner where the tip would extend is in fact serrated - not broken.
  8. First time fossil hunting and I brought back the teeth, bone and miscellaneous finds dug up from a spot along the South Carolina coast. I would love some help identifying the bigger ones, or anything that is noteworthy. I'm especially eager to get the right ID on Group B. Here are my guesses, but I am very new to this... Group B: 1-3, 7 and 8: Snaggletooth shark? 4: Megalodon (top left broken) 5: Sand tiger? 6: No idea. The curve seems to be part of the tooth shape, not a result of chipping. I can post a close-up of it or the other side. Group A: Baby Shark Teeth 2, 7: Baby sand tiger? 6: Not sure why this one has a copper color to it (my friend I went with found this interesting) 10, 15: Extinct baby great white? 12, 13: Tiger shark? 16: Similar shape to B6, but smaller Group C: Miscellaneous 1&2: Possibly fossilized coconut shell? 3: I'm not sure if this shell is a fossil or just old 4: Semi-transparent with black grains inside - hard to photograph. Maybe nothing interesting. 5. Probably nothing. Tooth shaped but maybe just bone. Group D: Fossilized bone fragments. Anything distinguishable? Thanks so much for taking a look!
  9. Hello, I've heard that some locations are better than others for finding specific species. My favorite shark teeth to find are those of the snaggletooth shark, so I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to focus my hunting in order to find the serrations of my dreams! I live in PA, but am willing to drive as far as Virginia if I have time and money. So far I've found baby H. serra teeth at Matoaka, but as I'm a new fossil hunter I haven't had a chance to check out other sites yet. Any recommendations? Thanks!
  10. While not as big as my 2.03 inch one I found in 2019 it did come from the same site. So maybe there is another 2 incher there. This one measures 1.65 inches long along the slant and 1.43 inches wide.

    Hemipristis serra

    Atypical Snaggletooth Shark Tooth

    Unusual Shark tooth. Inland, Venice, FL. Pleistocene material is common. Heavy serrations both sides. Bulbous protrusion. Shaped like a lower tooth but serrations on both sides. Tooth is 31mm long and 20mm wide. Is this an odd shaped Hemi upper or from a different species. -Regards, Michael

    Snaggletooth shark teeth?

    A while back I was given 2 beautiful, mostly perfect shark teeth from Aurora, North Carolina. Pic's 1 & 2 (same tooth) is just shy of 20 mm. Pic's 3 & 4 (same tooth) is 22 mm. Are these snaggletooth shark? I love the colors on both of them.

    Shark Tooth ID - Florida (Part 2)

    Please help me ID these shark teeth that were found on the west coast of Florida (near Venice) over the past weekend. My belief is that the top row could be Great White and/or Megalodon (very nice serration on the largest/first one), the second row is either Bull or Dusky, and the third row is Hemipristis (Snaggletooth). As for the fourth row... the jury is still out. I am most intrigued by the third/tiny one (from left to right). It looks different from anything else I have ever found. Very compact, lots of detail, and oddly shaped. Any ideas???
  15. I found this Hemipristis serra tooth a couple of years back. Looking at the left photo, I noted the bite marks, and the fact that the distance between each bite mark was approximately the same as the distance between this tooth's serrations!! So I make up a possible story. This shark was in a feeding frenzy, and under the feeding pressure, this tooth (like other shark teeth) fell out, but before it could clear the mouth area, the shark bit down again, leaving these telltale marks. There are likely other "possibles", but I prefer this one. Now more recently, I have another tooth, in this case a Galeocerdo cuvier, and interestingly it also has a bite mark. Once again the distance seems to be the same between the bite marks and between the serrations on this tooth. I notice a lot. Look at that little hole in the enamel above the bite marks. I have no story that explains that hole. But my story breaks down. The bite marks on THIS tooth seem post _ fossilization not in the enamel, but on the enamel. So I opened this thread to attract others who have bite marks on their shark teeth, and ask some of the shark tooth experts their insights. @Northern Sharks@Al Dente@siteseer@MarcoSr@Plax@sixgill pete
  16. Hello all! On Sunday, I realized that Monday would be an amazing day to go shark tooth hunting so I took the chance and went. I arrived at Bayfront park at 8 am and did not find anything significant. I found small teeth, some petrified wood, and a broken shark vertebrae. After realizing that I was not going to find anything too impressive, I drove to Matoaka and encountered the same luck. I asked around and supposedly everyone I met was finding only small teeth as well. The best finds of the day were an angel shark tooth and a fairly intact ecphora. - Timmy
  17. One of the teeth I found yesterday at Venice. It’s about as small as my finger tip, but it’s a pretty tooth. My best guess is hemipristis or snaggletooth? Thanks for taking a look! -HT
  18. 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!!!

    Hogtown Creek finds

    Hey everyone, Here's some of my finds at Hogtown Creek in Gainesville, FL. I'm pretty confident those are some juvenile meg teeth. Both found next to each other in some heavy clay deposits, which explains the coloration. I was hoping maybe I could soak them in something to bring out the enamel color.. Any ideas? Not sure about the other fossils. Is that some sort of prehistoric cephalopod? The fossil next to it is smooth on the bottom, and I can only describe it as looking like an upside down mushroom. On the other picture, someone else told me the one was a crocodile tooth (what kind??). The one next to that is a complete mystery - but a very cool looking find. It's broke, but the back has two sharp points. Any help you can provide in ID'ing these fossils would be greatly appreciated!! Sam
