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. I can't seem to get a good inside picture of it where it is broken. There is no shiny black enamel on it. Can anyone please help identify it?

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.

My wife Nicole found this nice size sharks tooth today on North Myrtle Beach. All the enamel is worn off and the left side of the gum is missing. It would have been wonderful if she would have found it in good condition but still a exciting find! We hope all of y'all are finding alot too

I call this one a Lucky tooth. I was bending down to fix my pants leg, I spotted it out of of the corner of my eye. I believe it is a fossiled deer tooth.

I appreciate all of y'alls advice.

I found this piece on North Myrtle Beach today. I believe it is a rib fragment of some sort. U have no idea what it could have come off of. I was guessing a dolphin or possibly a small whale. The shark tooth hunting today has been slow but have found a few fossils. Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.

I was picking up a sand tiger shark tooth and this was laying beside it. I'm sure it is a fossil but I have no idea what is. I would appreciate any help identifying it.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is able to identify the species of this giant sloth claw, it was found in the Ashepoo river, ACE basin in South Carolina. Believed to be ~12,000 years old but considering it was found on the river base could be older. Can get measurements if that would help, it's a UK sterling pound coin in the picture, roughly same diameter as one euro coin or US nickel. Thanks all! Edit: 85mm length, 25mm width at base, 35mm height at base

I found this at Myrtle Beach. It looks to me like a worn mammoth tooth fragment, but I'm interested in opinions of others. The rock is very dense, and where it is chipped it has strips of varying light and dark colors. It is a little larger than a baseball. I assume that much of the wear is from rolling in the surf. I will post other views in replies. Thanks, Jim Kovalchick

I went on a quick hunt this morning. Couldn’t find much at all, only one small tooth, and then stumbled upon this Great White tooth. I have found a lot of teeth in the Charleston, SC area but this is the best Great White I have found to date. I was pretty pumped!

I found this piece of coral a long time ago some where on the southern us Atlantic coast probably South Carolina. I’m guessing it’s modern but I would still like to know what kind of coral it is, it’s also fluorescent especially the bottom

Can someone help me identify this tooth I found at Garden City Beach in South Carolina around 20 years ago? I have had a few people look at it, and they can't seem to determine what it is.

Hello folks! I am excited to join the conversations on this forum. I am hoping to learn, meet people, and be inspired. I am currently in graduate school at Virginia Tech, studying in a field very unrelated to paleontology or the likes. However, I grew up in South Carolina finding sharks teeth on the beaches and was lucky enough to go on a couple quarry digs with my dad when I was in middle school. I was too young to appreciate it back then, but I have recently had a rekindled interest in searching for teeth and fossils. Looking forward to beginning my search for sites and just getting outside. I frequently return to SC to visit family and plan to tie some scouting trips in with that in the near future. Cheers!

Hey all, I was hunting for sharks teeth this morning and found this. Is it a fossil or just a rock? My initial inclination is just a rock, but figured the shape was worth an ask. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I found this tooth this morning hunting in Charleston, SC. I was hoping someone could help me ID it. Is it Isurus desori? Or is it Isurus hastalis? That was my initial thought, but it is so much bigger, thicker, and robust than the other Isurus desori teeth I have found in Charleston, SC and most Isurus hastalis teeth I have found are more broad/wide. So figured I would run it past some folks here to make sure the ID is correct. Thanks I’m advance!!! @MarcoSr @WhodamanHD @BellamyBlake @Al Dente @Praefectus

Found slightly north of Columbia, SC in the middle of the state in a creek. Caught my eye because of the inside, but the outside seems to have some sort of non-natural looking inclusions. If you’re able, zoom in on the exterior to see what I mean. Any help is appreciated! Totally understand this could just be a rock but it seems too odd.

After I remarked that the little tooth below (found on Morris Island, South Carolina) looked interesting on his trip report thread, forum member @Family Fun kindly gifted it to me, asking only that I help identify the species and share the result. My assessment is that this is an Isurus retroflexus posterior tooth, but hopefully others here can either confirm or correct that ID. This tooth has a non-serrated crown that is still fairly sharp and to my eyes at least has the raised labial platform indicative of I. retroflexus. There is a single cusplet on one side. Thanks for your help with this one, and thank you @Family Fun for your generosity! (Unfortunately, the tooth split down the middle on its journey to me, which is the crack you can see in the photos, but I was able to glue it back together.)

Hello - I am wondering if anyone would be able to help identify this tooth that I found on Folly Beach about 2 years ago? Thank you in advance.

I recently found this nice, if toothless mandible on a S.C. beach. I spent some time trying to compare it with other examples, but am left guessing. It does not compare well with the skunk jawbone that I do have. The alveoli do not line up, so I am wondering about raccoon or opossum ... any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

From Myrtle, to Charleston and then from Amelia around to Venice. It was truly a blessed summer strolling the beaches with family, and sometimes by myself. Of the hundreds found, these are my favorites.
