Another set of unknown fossils from my science museum! These are definitely from the same type of animal, likely found in South Carolina or North Carolina (I found them in storage so I can't be sure). They are obviously different sizes and from different formations, but their structure is nearly identical, they are mirrors of each other. The symmetry suggests something in the hands or feet if the animal.

Here's my issue, I work in a science museum and our former director wasn't good at curating. He often knew what things were on sight, but he didn't write down much for us. I have a whole box of unknown fossils. Since we have several specimens of this fossil type, they were likely collected in South or North Carolina. We do have fossils and specimens from all over the world though, so it's not a guarantee. So I don't know the location, I don't know anything about the geology, and I haven't been able to find similar fossils online visually. I have many pictures, struggling with the file size restraints. I will post more pictures in the reply. Please ask for any details I may have.

This was found tumbling in the ocean waves at Myrtle Beach, SC, USA. I think it is missing some distinguishing characteristics. Can anyone help us age or identify? Thank you in advance!

Hello all! First post here; please forgive me if I'm not doing something right. I found this fossil in a creek in Summervile, South Carolina and I believe it's part of a hip bone. I have no idea what it could be from and I am hoping somebody on here could help me out! Thank you so much! (My photos are too large and if I made them smaller I will lose detail, so I will be adding photos as posts asap)

Requesting help to properly identify some fossils I found this past week while walking the coastline of Myrtle Beach, SC.

Hello everyone, I am a SCUBA diver from South Carolina. I dive the local coastal rivers looking for artifacts and the always impressive meg teeth. I also love the diversity of fossils found in the river systems. Because there are layer upon layers of fossil beds, and the water erodes different layers in different parts of the rivers, what you find really is a grab bag. It is not unheard of to find a horse tooth and a white shark tooth in the same dive. Fossils in the area include everything from whale and dugong, to tapir and mastodon. Most local people I know hunt primarily for shark teeth and care little for the fragments of bone laying around. Needless to say, getting an idea of what I have found is often not easy. . . . but I enjoy finding the specimens and wondering "what could it be?" With your indulgence, I would like to post some of my finds and ask what you think they might have come from. I know positive identification for much of it may be difficult, either lacking the entirety of the specimen, or the jumbled mess of fossils from various epochs from which the specimen was found. My ultimate goal is to have a better understanding of the visible fossil structures and what I am finding so that I might have a better understanding of the prehistory of the area and be able to identify things underwater. I appreciate all of your help and am willing and eager to learn from your years of expertise. Sincere regards to everyone! The image shows fossils that I discovered yesterday during a very long and cold day of diving in the Cooper River.

From the album: Pisces
32mm. Not so sure about the info and determination on this one, therefore the cf. Picked it up on an internet auction where the only information I could get was "Parotodus, South Carolina". However, with the help of the friends on the id forum I was able to narrow down the id and also am pretty certain that it was found in a river in the Oligocene. -
I picked up this Parotodus tooth recently on our favorite auction site. The seller couldn't give me much information except to say that it's from South Carolina. I was just wondering if someone might be able to tell me more exactly where it might have originated? I also wanted to ask if this could be a P. benedeni and if it might be from the Eocene, Oligocene or Miocene?

How old do you think this fossilized sea biscuit is? I found it today at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 3 weeks post Hurricane Florence.
