I haven't posted a trip report in a while and, although I didn't find anything amazing yesterday, I thought I would show what a decent day looks like for me. I would have loved to have hunted for a few more hours, but health problems limit what I can do. I don't find many I. retroflexus, so this was nice. It has a really pretty sheen. I like posterior angustidens, but I always find them missing a bit. All of the day's angustidens were broken. I don't find a ton of odontocete teeth, so I enjoy finding them (I think that's what the 3rd on

I found this tooth (half) in a pleistocene lag deposit outside of Summerville, SC. A local guide, author, etc. said it was a fish tooth, but he couldn't remember off the top of his head what kind. Is anyone able to ID it, or is "fish tooth" the closest I can get? Thank you!

Found ex-situ, so I have included both Oligocene formation possibilities (Chandler Bridge Formation and Ashley Formation). References: Cicimurri, D. J., & Knight, J. L. (2009).

I have two teeth that I found previously somewhere in the Summerville area and stuck in a riker mount. Looking through them today, I noticed one that I did not recognize. In comparing it to others in the mount, I noticed another one that has similar enamel on the root (labial side), although the root is much more curved overall. Can anyone help with these? My areas are heavily Oligocene but some have either an overlying Pliocene formation or Pleistocene lag deposit that produces some megs, great whites, etc. Tooth 1: * 14 mm slant height x 14 mm across * Root is very

Sawmill Branch contains fossils from more than one formation and epoch, but everything I find online says C. catticus in Summerville come from the Chandler Bridge Formation (upper Oligocene).

My friend and I took a short trip to Summerville to go creek hunting. Found a lot of frags, and I was very excited about this Angi. My friend found the large Meg frag. Headed back down Jan 1st- 2nd to scout out some new spots. Hoping for some good luck. Seems like it’s been pretty bare lately…

Just wanted to share information on the Fossil Fest near Summerville. I haven't been before, so I'm not sure how it is.

I found my smallest posterior angy yesterday (9 mm total height and about 3 mm crown height). One cusp is quite mangled, but I don't know how it has stayed together (and feels solid) if it was broken. My first guess was that it is damaged, but I wonder if it could be pathological. It appears in the first two pictures to have root material over the cusp area. Thoughts? Thank you!

Better late than never right?! I'm finally getting around to sharing my finds from a recent trip up the east coast for work, with a few pitstops along the way! The first two images were from an all day hunt in a creek in Summerville, with Folly Beach Fossils! The third image are my spoils from a solo half a day in GMR... Right by elm street park, because the water was way too high to go further down stream from there, and I didn't have much time! What a great time finding a couple of new species and making a few more friends along the way! I ca

Found this cool complete little bone while screening some gravel in a Summerville creek. Seems familiar but not enough to hazard a guess. Thanks for looking!
