I found this rock on Folly Beach yesterday and know even less about these sorts of fossils than I do about shark's teeth. Can someone please tell me what this is? There are 3 of them in the rock, but the other one was harder to photograph. Thanks!

Hey y'all. Long time lurker, first time poster and first time beach fossil hunting (previously only done stuff in TX/CO road and river cuts), so this "sand thing" is all new. I did many hours of research in an attempt to leverage this extra day I had on top of my nonprofit's staff retreat and it did not disappoint. I landed on The Sands beach and Hunting State Park - both near savannah, GA/port royal, SC and both mentioned a few times on this forum. Most of this was found on the Sands within about an hour of looking, but the shark tooth, the flatter possible turtle shell(?) piece, and a couple other interesting small pieces were after about 2-2.5 hrs walking along Hunting Island north beach. I know ID will be unlikely on most of the bones, but figured I'd try as a couple seem pretty interesting! I'm most interested in the last 2 pics as I don't care much about the lighter conglomerate-looking pieces. I recognize I messed up on the lack of scale, but I'm on the road and operating out of my car. If it helps, there's a beer can in one pic and the large (vert?) piece is close to fist-sized. Happy to post more pics in the AM if folks need them. Any help or insight is most appreciated and now that I have an account, I hope to post more often

So I have this tooth that I found up in south Carolina earlier this year, it's an amazing tooth as far as color goes, but does have "a small" bit of corner damage. But what I am wandering about it is (as you have seen in the title) I believe it could be a chubutensis tooth. I am no expert on this kind of shark but I noticed that the remaining corner looks to have an extremely small cusp if it is one at all. if somebody can tell please let me know, thank you.

I am working on learning to identify the shark teeth we've collected at the beach the last few months and am finding it difficult on some of the smaller ones (though none of them are really big). Especially when the book says lack of serrations is a big identifier for a specific shark, but then says that some of the teeth may have serrations anyways (just a general example). Anyway, the root of this tooth is shaped a lot differently than the others. Not sure if maybe some of the features are worn off, but it seems very smooth and consistent (not broken off). Very rectangular and large for the size of the crown. Really unremarkable with no distinguing features (at least to my untrained eye). Can someone please tell me what this is? Found on either Folly or Edisto beaches in SC. Thank you so much!

I’m new to the fossil community, and found a few sharks teeth on a beach in southern South Carolina USA. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on what species they may be from. I numbered the teeth in the pictures to avoid any confusion in the replies. Any help is much appreciated, thx.

Hi, all, I am new (I posted on the member intro, if you want to know why I'm asking what will be a very easy question for most of you). I'm learning to identify shark teeth with the help of a book that was recommended, as well as this forum, and a few sites. This tooth is confusing me, as it doesn't look like any of the options I've seen. I have a few guesses, but can anyone help me out? Found at either Edisto or Folly Beach in SC. Large serrations on one side and very small (and worn) serrations on the other side. Very big bulge where the nutrient groove is. Thank you so much!

I found this tiny tooth in a creek in Summerville South Carolina. Help with an id would be greatly appreciated. I’ve seen a couple other posts with a similar tooth where the consensus was undetermined species. Is this the case with this tooth as well? Thanks in advance!

Both of these were found on the beach in South Carolina. They may have nothing in common but have similar characteristics to my eye. The first is approximately 2cm while the second is closer to 3cm. Both are symmetrical though the second is not complete. I look forward to hearing just how far off I am!

This bone was found on the beach this morning. It was at the shoreline. I’ve included photos but this is my first post so please let me know if other information is needed. The piece measures 7-10cm. Clearly it is very worn so I don’t know if identification is possible. Any ideas are welcome and appreciated

Hi folks. I've had some of these for a while and have tried to ID them using the resources referenced by the forum. Did not want to post without trying to see what I could ID first. Appreciate the help! Also unsure of the ages if anyone knows. Guesses for Image 1 from left to right. Locality, Myrtle Beach, SC Row 1: Tiger? (It is thicker than the rest); Great White; Auriculatus?; Requiem?; Sand Tiger Row 2: Sand Tiger; Bull?; Lemon; Short-fin Mako?; White Shark?; Mako? Guesses for Image 2 from left to right. Locality: Potomac River, VA Row 1: Requiem Shark?; Snaggle?; Big Lemon? Row 2: Hammerhead; ??; Mako; Lemon? If I stare at the small ones too long they all start to look like lemon shark teeth. A friend told me the tooth in photo one, row one right next to the penny is a baby meg, but I think it's too small.

I bought this 4.8” tooth and it was advertised as being likely a giant chubutensis tooth, but said it was a Megalodon to be on the safe side. Can anyone here positively identify it? This was found in a river outside of Summerville, SC.

I was able to get down to Summerville and North Charleston twice this month to do some creek and surface hunting. This trip produced some of the prettiest teeth I have collected so far! Found my largest Hemi and a fabulous Angi. I'm loving the colors on these teeth. Also found some other fossils, shark vertebrae, Dugong rib bone piece, etc. I am officially addicted to this new hobby. Trying to figure out when I can get back down there!

Newbie (but addicted) needing help with shark teeth id from south myrtle.
SuchAClassicGirl posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hey there. First post so i hope i do this right and answer what's needed. My husband and i just returned from garden city/murrells inlet south carolina. We started our addiction for looking for teeth on the last beach trip and found a good amount of small teeth (smallest was actually 3mm long. No idea how i found it) but being new we have a bit of difficulty identifying some of our teeth. Could someone help identify these 2? My ring is for size reference. we found both the first day we arrived…late afternoon and in sand with a few shells but not shell bed and no digging/sifting (or whatever i do with my fingers to find the baby teeth) and kind of just happened upon them when scanning. Can anyone tell me what these are? Both slightly less than an inch. I appreciate your time and looking! I included pics of front, back and each individually. Both have serrations on both sides if it’s hard to see.- 8 replies
