Please help identify this partial tooth found at Cherry Grove Beach in North Myrtle Beach, SC. This was originally passed off as a Squalicorax, but after further review, it seems heavier and the part of the root that is complete seems different. Teeth may be posterior. Thoughts?

I have here a tooth from Charleston, SC, a river find. I've narrowed it down to a white shark, and based on this guide I'm torn between Carcharodon Plicatilis and Carcharodon Carcharias. I'm leaning towards the former. Could anyone please provide confirmation?

Any idea who this came from? Length across middle is 3 ½”; Length across top is 4”; Length across bottom is 3” x Depth of 1 ½” x Width that varies between 2 ¼” and 2 ½” (measured approx 1” in. On either end). Weight is 245 grams (Once again, I can't upload the MAIN shot, topside, so, this one may be more difficult to ID)

Hi everyone, I have here fossils found off a river bank near Charleston, South Carolina. I believe I know what some of these are, but would like some confirmation. For many of them, I have pretty much no idea. I'd appreciate any help! 1) Carcharocles Angustiden? 2) Megalodon fragment possibly 3 3) Front/back of the same tooth fragment 4) Front/back of the same tooth fragment. Megalodon possibly? 5) Front/back. Might it be a whale bone? 6) Front/back. I think many of the ones following are whale or dolphin bones. 7) Front/back 8) Front/back 9) Front/back 10) These looked similar to me, maybe fish tail bones? 11) Front/back 12) Front/back 13) Front/back 14) Front/back

Obviously with everything going on in the world I would not be going out to go on excursions, but once everything is over I would like to try and find some teeth in my spare time. I live in Irmo and was wondering if anyone knows of any nearby locations that are good for fossils. Places not nearby would be fine as well, for I am up for a little bit of a drive.

Found this a few months ago in a river in the Low-country of South Carolina. Tried to identify it myself but could not come up with anything. Curious as to what species you guys think it is.

Went on my first excursion in a river a few months ago. Thought I would share the picture I took back then of what I got. Sorry for the messy quality of the pic. If I ever have the spare time I will take a more updated photo..thumb.jpg.deb56543efaf713886ae7f3a8bc04023.jpg)

I went out on a excursion a few months ago and I dug up this fossil. It looks like maybe it has two shark teeth within it, but it could also be a mammal tooth. I found this in the Low Country of South Carolina. Any help would be appreciated! Pictures below!

Hello my name is Cole and I am 17. Since I was around 12 I have had a avid passion for fossils and all things paleontology! Since I am going to be heading off to college in a year or so (Hopefully getting a career in Paleontology) I thought it was about time I joined a fossil community! Can't wait to meet you all!

Hello. I'm new here. I have read the guidelines for posting a fossil for ID and I hope I'm following them. I've had a good deal of trouble getting a decent photo of this with a scale, proper lighting, etc. I found this while looking for shark teeth on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, April 19, 2010. Low tide, low surf, low wind. Good shark-tooth hunting day. Could this be a fragment of a large shark tooth? Thank you.

Hello from South Carolina! Originally from Germany, I grew up in Eichstaett, Bavaria, in walking distance of the Jura Museum, a Natural History Museum located in the Willibaldsburg Castle. I remember visiting the museum being fascinated by the original archaeopteryx fossil. The areas surrounding Eichstaett are full of quarries. The limestone is harvested for commercial purposes and used in its original condition or polished as wall covering, floor covering, steps or window benches. As kids, we used to have fun looking for small fossils in polished limestone. I have always been fascinated with paleontology and archaeology. However, my professional career ended up in a different direction and brought me to South Carolina twenty years ago. I love looking for fossils at the beach during vacation and I am so exited that I found this forum when I was looking for an answer to one of my finds!!!
