Hi all, I found this fossilized toe bone (measures just under 1.5 inches) that washed out of the Charleston Harbor in Charleston, South Carolina. I got one ID on it. His initial thoughts were it was from a carnivore and he narrowed that down to a Canid or a Bear. He looked at it more and determined it to be a Canid and most likely Dire Wolf. I wanted to run it past any of the mammal experts here to get an opinion. As an avid shark tooth hunter, this is outside of anything I know. I will say Ice Age fossils, outside of horse teeth, are way less common for me here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina unlike other places in Florida. Any help would be appreciated. Happy to post additional pictures and thanks in advance!

The fossil hunters have been out in droves since Hurricane Ian left South Carolina, so I figured I better get out there yesterday. Some creeks were still too high to hunt, so I went to one that has never given me a 100% complete large tooth, but I enjoy the spot and it is typically empty. It definitely was not empty yesterday. I passed a few people leaving when I arrived and passed 8 others as I walked through the creek. Not a good sign. But, all of the others were sifting, which I don't usually do anyway, so I took to checking the high bank for washout. I still didn't find a 100% complete large tooth there, but I'm still very happy with the hunt. Angustidens and megs (minus the best one at the end of the report): So close to complete...just a tiny bit of tip missing Some pretty hemis: Various other teeth, ray plates, etc. (some may be angy/megs, but they were too worn to make the cut with the others): A cool vert that I pulled out of the matrix, but then part of it broke: And my prized jewel, a 4 and 3/32 inch angy!!!! (Has been remeasured since first posting.) My last several trips had been discouraging, so I am thrilled with the day, even if they aren't perfect. Thanks for reading!

Could anyone verify if these are sharks teeth?

Hello again everyone! I found this on a beach in South Carolina and couldn't figure out what kind of (if at all) tooth this is? Any information would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Hello there! I found this on a beach in South Carolina and was questioning how closely it resembled a human tooth? That or maybe a manatee? I could use a hand it figuring out what creature this tooth came from. Thanks in advance for any and all information!

Howdy all! I found this possible turtle shell shard on a beach in South Carolina. Any help getting a positive ID on what this is a part of would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy everyone! I found this on a beach in South Carolina and obviously I have no idea what this little guy is, but it looks like a miniature pelvis haha! If anyone has an idea as to what this is, I'd love to get an expert's opinion! Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello everyone! Got this interesting find from Myrtle Beach that I could use some expert opinions identifying. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance! I think it might be a small fractured crab claw.

Hi everyone! I have my eye on a really nice Megalodon. The problem is the seller, who by his own admission is pretty inexperienced with fossils, has no idea if it has any restoration. Now, I could figure it out myself with my UV and some acetone, but the seller doesn't offer returns so I'm conflicted (normally I'd move on but I have a feeling about this one). Figured I'd see if anyone here could spot any funny business. My main concern is a slightly darker area in the upper left root lobe on the lingual side and center of the root on the labial side. Though if it is restored I find it strange that that small but conspicuous enamel peel on the lingual side and enamel chip on the labial side was left untouched. If it can't be said from photos then it can't be said from photos, I'm prepared for that, I just thought I'd try. Any insight is greatly appreciated as always!

My last few trips haven't been particularly exciting, and I am seeing more of my spots lost to construction or getting closed off. I did find what originally looked like part of a shark tooth until I got home and saw the barbs. But, it doesn't look like the typical ray barb that I find or see on the forum/online. It has enamel and the individual barbs don't go all the way to the tip. Also, the barbs point the opposite direction from a typical ray barb. Any ideas what it is from? Barb in question: Typical ray barb found the same day: Side by side comparison: Found in Ladson, SC in a creek with multiple epochs represented. Thanks!

These were all found on Myrtle Beach over the last few months and I was just wondering what they were (obviously). They look like fragments of turtle shell but I'm not completely sure. I realize I should've used a lighter more even-colored lighting/background, but I hope these pictures will suffice. Thanks for any input. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Found this cool complete little bone while screening some gravel in a Summerville creek. Seems familiar but not enough to hazard a guess. Thanks for looking!

I recently purchased this "tusk" from someone else who said he found it on a fossil hunt in South Carolina. He called it a tusk, but didn't know from what type of creature. I don't believe it's a walrus tusk, and I'm not sure it's even a tusk. Maybe a bone or a tooth? I really have no idea. Thus, I'd appreciate anyone who may have seen something like this before. I've also attached a few photos of other "fragments of a tusk" that came with it. Are all of these the same things? Any idea what they are, and what they are from? Thanks.

Hello All, I am new here and trying to identify the species of this tooth that I found in Folly Beach, South Carolina. Does anyone know what species it may be, and would you mind sharing how you came to your conclusion? Thanks! Sarah

I seem to still be very unsure on determining the presence of a bourlette on very worn teeth (since I think this is my third tooth and post with a similar issue). I think maybe I just don't want to mistakenly call something a meg, if it isn't. Would you say this tooth has a bourlette, albeit a very worn one? Thanks for the help!

Found several shark verts and a bony fish vert yesterday along with these two big verts. I haven't found verts this size before, and haven't been able to identify them. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Vert 1: Vert 2:

Hello there! I made my way down to Myrtle beach SC and found a few interesting bits that I would love some help identifying. Thank you for any information in advance! First off we have this scale-like piece (actually no idea what this could be, I've never seen anything like it before): Then we have what I think might be a shard of some kind of mineralized shell fragment? This seems similar to some fossilized turtle shells I've found in the past. Lastly, what might be (really guessing here) a part of a sea robin skull? Please take that with a grain of salt. (Thanks again!) Thanks again Ya'll!

Hi! I am hoping someone could help ID and date this sea biscuit that I found last week at the northern end of Myrtle Beach, SC. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, A couple years ago I decided to try fossil hunting for the first time at Myrtle Beach, SC after learning about it from a fossil hunter I met while there. I found some interesting things during the week there, mostly in tide pools that formed later in the day, around 5-6 pm I think. There are a few I could tell were fossils, but the rest I am not sure about so I wanted to see if anyone could help give me an idea of what I might've found. There is a fossil dig site in my state not too far from where I live, so I might take them there as well for identification if they allow it, but I wanted to see if anyone on here might know as well cause this site was recommended to me by the fossil hunter. I used the cm side of a 12 in metal ruler (30 cm) to give an idea of how long each one is and tried to get as many photos of each one from different angles, but did have to hold some of them for certain angles, so I apologize for my hand being in some of the photos. There are 10 different fossils/potential fossils I have photos of, so I labeled the photos as Fossil #-photo #, so when replying you can use that to let me know which potential fossil you are identifying (ex 4-2, 3-1, etc). I hope the photo labeling helps some with responses. I look forward to seeing what you guys think they are and if I need to post some more photos of them please let me know. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
