New member to the forum and thank you. Me and my wife are looking into Summerville, SC to go shark tooth hunting. We have seen some places along Chandler Bridge Creek and seen a dirt road that runs all along the creek. Are there any other accesses to this creek that is public? But probably gonna check out other creeks around there and any experiences and help is much appreciated.

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. @sixgill pete @Al Dente @MarcoSr I know you all had input for a similar thread a few years ago and I'd appreciate your thoughts.

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 end up on a beach in SC? Thank you in advance for any feedback.

The only background I have on either is pretty limited. #1. Pictures 1 & 5: I pulled over while driving because I thought the 1st one in question looked rusty, it was a bit but also cemented in clay. I had a magnet with me and noticed it stuck, so we loaded it up to take it back for investigation (not an easy task, if I had to guess I’d say it weighed about 300 pounds if not more). The odd part is, I would consider it a light-medium level of magnetism. First picture is a polished and wet face. I think it is a chondrite, could it potentially be an EL class? #2. Pictures 2, 3, 4: I only just now realized might be a meteorite, after sitting it my garden bed for somewhere near a year. It is pretty badly weathered, but I think it was when found. If I had to guess I retrieved this from the beach just because it looked odd, but I have thousands upon thousands of rocks so I hadn’t really looked over them since starting to research space rocks. I can see what I believe to be troilite on the inside glimmering, when polished but also on a rough face when I looked for it. I am sending them off to be analyzed in a day or two, but I would like to see if anyone has any answers (I suppose opinions, lol) prior. I’ve tried to scrutinize pretty heavily, but these two still speak out to me.

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.

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.

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.
