This was found close to Charleston, SC. Any ideas on what it might be from? It looks mammal to me.

Here in South Carolina you can't wade down the creek without having to stop every few minutes to shake these big ones out of your boots! https://www.thestate.com/news/nation-world/national/article249836798.html

I received a lot of teeth from the Southeastern United States today. I couldn't identify three. While many of these came from Bone Valley, I can't say for certain that these three are from that locality. The only provenance I have to go with is the Southeastern United States. Here are front and back shots for each of the three teeth. The first two are 1/4", while the last one is 1/8". Each has cusps. I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you, Bellamy

Unusual, very black and smooth. I’ve collecter turtle shell fragments and bone before but this seems different. Very flat on one side with a center raised section on the other. Found along intercoastal river near Charleston, SC I appreciate any ideas. Not like my usual turtle finds! Quampegan

Greetings everyone. I collected this pretty little tooth on one of my Summerville, SC trips when I lived in Georgia. It's escaped scrutiny until now. While it unfortunately lacks the root the uniqueness has made me pursue an ID anyway, although it might not be possible. I have considered a serrated Alopias grandis based on the depth, irregular serrations, and overall shape. I've also considered a juvenile Otodus angustidens but I'm having difficulty finding good examples so a lot of comparisons are instead made with other Otodus species. I'd be interested in seeing what others think.

After a storm recently I was walking down the beach and found a large rock in the surf at a beach off of Charleston, SC. The first photo is of the rock intact, the second is of pieces of the rock that broke off when I tried to lift it. I looked online for tests for Amber. I completed the salt water float test (the piece that I tested floated), hot needle (it smelled like pine resin), and acetone test (it did not dissolve). Having passed all of theses tests I'm feeling more confident that it might be Amber? Would love thoughts from the forum. Is it amber? Where would it come from to

I found several dozen fossils like the one below on Debordieu Beach (~20mi south of Myrtle Beach, SC): can anyone help to identify? They are black, wafer-thin discs, roughly 1 in (2.5cm) in diameter, with a ripples-in-water pattern of concentric circles. Any help with an ID would be most appreciated--thank you!

Found this piece on North Myrtle Beach. I am almost certain it is a giant ground sloth tooth fragment from what I seen. The front and black has the jet black enamel of a tooth and is layered. I've never found a sloth tooth before so I would like to be sure that is what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey All, I found this tooth on an early afternoon hunt today in Charleston, SC. I wanted to see if anyone could confirm if it is a Carcharocles angustiden or if it could possibly be a Carcharocles chubutensis. Reason I ask is the cusps on the side seem less pronounced then other Angy’s I have found and seen. They don’t appear to have broken off. My initial thought is that it is an Angy, but wanted to doubles check. Happy to post additional pics if needed. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I found this vertebra on the beach this morning in Charleston, SC and was hoping someone could help ID it. My initial guess was a dolphin vertebra? Thanks in advance!

This is one of the teeth that I found recently in a creek bed in Summerville. It was not in a geological formation but The Chandler Bridge Formation is very close. My limited knowledge leads me to think this is a squalodon tooth. Any one have any thoughts? Thanks for your help in identifying this tooth.

Here is yet another fossil me and my wife found today in North Myrtle Beach. It looks possibly like some type of body armour maybe off a armadillo but we are not sure. Please help us identify this fossil.

Is this a Great White Shark tooth? Found this in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA about 15 years ago and just refound it while cleaning out a desk. It is about 1.25 inches (31.75mm) long and curves back from base to tip with serrations along the edge. Thanks!

Me and my wifewere walking North Myrtle Beach today and found this with a bunch of sharks teeth and other fossils. It looks like either a alligator or crocidle tooth to me.

Found this piece today on North Myrtle Beach. It has a neat pattern on it. It is a roughly 1/4 inch thick. It could possibly be a turtle shell fragment? That is my closest guess. Found on North Myrtle Beach.
