  1. Beach collector

    Possible tooth

    I found this on Myrtle beach. I think it is part of a tooth.
  2. Beach collector

    Is this a fossil?

    I found this on Myrtle Beach. I am not sure if it is a fossil. Help ID. It is black and orange. It has multiple layers.
  3. Beach collector

    What fossil is this

    I found this on Myrtle Beach, but not sure what it is.
  4. Beach collector

    Possibly a jaw with teeth

  5. Beach collector

    Possible horse tooth fragment

    I found this on Myrtle beach SC. I think it is part of a horse tooth but not sure.
  6. Hello - I found the fossil pictured in North Myrtle Beach 2 weeks ago while on vacation. I initially thought it was wood and was moving it out of the way to search for teeth and fossils, but the heavy weight made me take a closer look. It is about 3 " long, 1.25 " thick, cylindrical and slightly curved. This was my first time hunting for fossils. I did not see anything online that resembles this. It is obvious the fossil was broken on both ends at one point. Any help in IDing what this could be would be appreciated! Thank you!

  8. I live in South Carolina and was wondering if anyone knows of any good locations to find fossils or shark teeth here. I've heard that Summerville has some good spots but I haven't been able to find any specific locations. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

    Shark Tooth

    Hi guys, just recently discovered this forum after years of collecting shark teeth from various beaches, mostly in the Carolinas. Most of them I’m pretty sure of what they are by just looking at charts I’ve seen but this one I’m not real sure, partly because it’s so warn and because I don’t have another one like it. Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
  11. This was found after a hurricane/ beach replenishment in Myrtle Beach in 1998. Thanks for the help.
  12. Ben&Jess

    ID this please

    Myrtle Beach Finds

    Hi guys, new to the site and just wanted to get some help on identifying some items I found at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I typically just look for shark teeth but thought these were interesting enough to keep. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Myrtle Beach Trip

    Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is having a great day. A couple things, so my family and I are taking a trip to Myrtle Beach the last week of August and I would really like to do some fossil hunting while I'm down there to get a break from the Devonian up here in NY. So I have a couple questions. 1. I know that the obvious choice here is shark tooth hunting on the beach, which I definitely plan on doing, I bought a really nice snorkeling mask to do a little bit of searching in the water itself. My question is what is the best method of searching for shark teeth on the beach, and what should I be looking for in order to find the teeth? I know there's the sifting method which I will definitely implement, but I would just like to know what I am looking for, is there a section of the beach that generally has them more frequently when tides are low, just some helpful tips, hoping to nab a Meg tooth, but I know my odds are low. 2. Beyond just shark tooth hunting, I would like to go inland and do some searching as well, so are there any rivers, streams, creeks, etc. within an hour of the Myrtle Beach area where I could do some hunting as well? Any fossils at all would be very cool to bring back from the area so I just want to make sure I have the best chances of finding something worth bringing back. Thanks, Hittingthebeds

    Fossil Horse Tooth?

    This is the first larger mammal tooth I came across while fossil hunting for megalodon teeth in South Carolina. Tooth was found in a stream in the general area between Charleston and Summerville along with some Meg teeth. What do you suppose this came from? Camel, horse, giant ground sloth?
  16. Hello All, Found this forum while trying to locate resources to ID these two teeth that were found in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina last week. I had great luck last week and found numerous teeth, including several nice great white teeth and a cow shark tooth. Both of the teeth in question here were found on the beach: one in a shell pile, and the other in the surf zone. I have tried to provide multiple picture angles, but using my phone the image quality is not the greatest. Hopefully, at least a few of the pictures are good enough to provide enough clues to what these teeth are from. Looks like I do not have room to post the additional photos of the teeth next to a size scale. I took many photos but deleted most because of very poor image quality. Here are the teeth measurements: Tooth 1 (blue/serrated): 2.2cm long by 2cm wide (at the root) Tooth 2 (dark blown/black color, worn): 1.5cm long by 1.4 cm wide Happy to answer any questions about these teeth. Just to elaborate a bit more if the images don't show it enough: Tooth 1 has significant curvature of the top of the root and even some curvature on the backside of the root (i.e. the tooth does not sit flat). This is primarily why I didn't think this was a great white tooth. However, serrations are present on the tooth and can be seen in the pictures. Tooth 2 is fairly worn and almost black in color. At least one side of the tooth near root was worn away/destroyed before I found it. Although small, this tooth has some weight to it. Hope this information is helpful. Thank you to any all all responses for taking the time to help solve my mystery! Tony
  17. On Friday I went on a guided trip fossil hunting on Morris Island through Charleston Outdoor Adventures, a chartered trip and rental company operating on Bowens Island. I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the operation as a whole. Their guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a guided adventure in the Charleston Area. Anyways, we departed Bowens Island on a large Carolina Skiff for a 20 minute zip through the salt marsh before landing on the northern end of Morris Island. I remember that everyone slowed down looking for shark's teeth, but the guides kept up the pace because they knew we wouldn't find anything yet! But as we approached the jetty rounding the curve of the island, I began to see the familiar triangular shapes of teeth. One guide led the pack, while the other brought up the rear. The smaller kids would stick close to them because they'd circle any tooth they saw with the broom handles each of them carried. I typically stuck near the back of the group just because I moved slower than most of the rest of the group because I was looking for fossils, which I certainly found in abundance. Sometimes it surprised me how large of teeth had been walked past by 15-odd people already. Interestingly, unlike some of the fossiling sites along Charleston's coasts, the teeth here were not deposited as a result of beach renourishment with dredge material, but rather they were eroding out of some small cliffs further down the beach. As we got closer and closer to it, we'd find larger and larger teeth. One of the guides told me a story about how one of his friends had found 4 associated shark vertebrae in the cliff face. I found myself a nice angustidens or two, a partial porpoise tooth, and some larger but beat up teeth. Both of my little brothers had a great time and found some great teeth, and overall this was a great experience.
  18. Hello Everyone, Summer is here and the trades must begin ! ... If anyone is looking for some C. hastalis from the Cooper River, SC here they are. These were found diving (not by me I'm not crazy ... ok, not THAT crazy) I'm looking for something with a bit more color, complete (as complete as these examples ?) and any size really .. lightning, scorched, red, green, blue .. what have you. If you have seen my images in the past you will get my drift. I've attached a few below .... 4 for 1 .. 1 for 4 .. 4 for 4 ... I'm easy. They are all pushing 1.5-1.75 in Cheers, Brett Here are a few examples of what I'm looking for .....

    Help with shark tooth

    Thinking is may be a great white but have no idea. Found it a bunch of years ago and a buddy and I were debating what it actually is was hoping someone could help

    Need advice for SC collecting

    I am going down to Hilton Head Island in a few weeks, and I was thinking of stopping in Summerville to collect some shark teeth. This will be my first time hunting in South Carolina, so I would appreciate any suggestions as to good spots (I am especially interested in Meg teeth).
  21. Meant to post this days ago, but accidentally left it unfinished. Whoops. Anyways, on Sunday I took a trip to Northbridge Park on the Ashley River. While definitely enjoyable, due to a nice breeze, a reasonable temperature, and an excellent view, based on my experience I must say that I would not recommend fossil hunting. Teeth were few and far between. However, I might try coming back after a decent storm. For those interested in an easy way to have a good experience fossil hunting in the Charleston area, I would recommend either going on a guided trip or trying the state park end of Folly, which I have heard encouraging things about.

    Bison hoof core?

    I found this bone fragment out on Edisto Beach, SC. I've identified it as a bison hoof core, but I'm not exactly knowledgeable in the field so I'm guessing I'm wildly wrong. Its about 2.5 inches. I have more angles if necessary, the bottom is concave. This is just the max amount of photos I can upload in this post. Thanks in advance!
  23. I found my first shark tooth on edisto island in South Carolina yesterday! I’ve been researching to try to figure out what kind it is, because it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen, but can’t find anything quite like it on my own. The closest I could find was “megalolamna paradoxodon” and have attached a picture of that as well. It’s very similar, but not quite like it. Thanks in advance for your help, I’m extremely interested and excited to figure this out!!

    Wood or Shell?

    I found these fragments on the beach in South Carolina (USA) and I can’t seem to find any information about them online. They're approximately 2-2.5 cm thick and feel a bit like metal. Image searches of petrified wood, turtle shell and coral haven’t produced anything similar. Any ideas?

    Baby Bird Fossil ??

    I found this looking for arrowheads. I have a creative mind but it looks like a fossilized baby bird to me. I know very little about fossils and would like some info on this? Thank you for your time.
