This is my largest Megalodon to date. It measures almost exactly 5.5" and was found in a lag deposit in the Summerville area. -

Found this Croc tooth out of the Chandler Bridge formation in a retention pond. It's the only Croc tooth I've found somewhere and it's one of my favorite finds for sure. -
Quick recount of my best hunt to date in the Summerville area. There is a pond that has produced some of the best fossils in my collection originating from, likely, the Chandler Bridge Formation, but it is an abnormal lense for sure. The pond banks were re-graded in this past October, so I had a hunch the first big rain would cause a lot of new erosion and expose some really good stuff. Boy was I right! In the first washout I checked (my personal favorite one) I found a nice vert, a stunning atlas (my first) and a gorgeous croc tooth (also my first). With these in tow I walked back to my truck to drop them off for safe keeping. After safely getting them to the truck, I went back and hopped in another washout, immediately coming across an intact ray plate. At this point I couldn't believe my luck! I decided to quickly run this back to the truck as well. As I was on my way to the truck I passed another collector headed towards the pond. After dropping the plate off at the truck, I quickly got back to the pond. The other collector was in the washout I had just grabbed the plate out of not even 2 minutes earlier. I then jumped into the next washout down and just had to laugh when I saw ANOTHER ray plate staring back at me. \ I took it back to the truck too and left for the day. I was in shock. My friends always tell me I'm lucky and hunts like this certainly don't hurt their case. Hopefully someday I'll have an even better hunt, but I certainly can't complain about this one! Hope ya'll enjoyed the quick story and the awesome fossils!

I haven't found enough jaw fragments to be confident IDing them yet. I found this in Summerville, SC in a creek with mostly Oligocene but some Miocene as well. I have two other odontocete jaw fragments from this creek, but both had the double rooted alveoli, so I knew they were odontocete. Is this one also odontocete? Fragment is 45 mm long, 24 mm tall, and 16 mm thick. One tooth's root is visible. Thanks so much!
