    Symphyseal tiger shark tooth

    Is this a symphyseal tiger shark tooth or something else? I'm struggling to get good pictures, since it's only an 8 mm slant height, so hopefully these will do. Compared to a posterior tiger: Thank you!

    Jaw or grinding plate?

    I found what I thought was a tiny piece of jaw (11 mm long and 5 mm thick). My rookie guess was rodent, fish, or something else small. The hole/socket size is consistent with a piece of rabbit jaw I have, but the holes seem to be a different shape (I think...my rabbit jaw still has teeth in it). However, the rabbit jaw is smooth bone on both sides and this one is smooth on one side but has a pattern similar to a pharyngeal grinding plate/mill on the other side (which I didn't notice immediately). So, is it a grinding plate that happens to have holes on the end, or a jaw that happens to have this pattern? Thank you!

    A decent creek hunt

    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 one is): And then just the usual miscellaneous (verts, ray parts, steinkerns, etc.): And, of course, other shark and barracuda teeth. Some are in good shape (1st pic), but there are always a ton that aren't (2nd pic): Other than that, there are some random unidentifiable bones and bits that aren't worth showing (including a possible root of an odontocete tooth with no crown at all). So, there is a decent day for me. No cow sharks, no mammoth or sloth teeth, but I got to enjoy nature and pick up a few fossils. Thanks for reading!

    Fish tooth

    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!

    angustidens

    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). Late Oligocene sharks and rays from the Chandler Bridge Formation, Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 54(4), 627-647. Gale, B., Gale, P., & Gale, A. (2020).

    Two thresher teeth for ID

    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 "built up" on the lingual side * Has strip of enamel over the root on the labial side (similar to the "shelf" on Isurus retroflexus) * Has very small cusps * No nutrient grove or foramen My best guess would be a thresher of some sort, but I could be way off. Tooth 2: * 13mm slant height x 11mm across *Very curved root, not as thick as first tooth *Enamel "ledge" on root on labial side * Has very lumpy tiny cusps * It either has an off-center nutrient grove, or just a conveniently placed line of wear Thank you so much!

    catticus

    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).

A preliminary report on the Late Oligocene vertebrate fauna from Mariahalom, Hungary. Hantkeniana, 6, 177-185. 3. Godfrey et al. (2018).

  9. 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…

    Fossil Fest 2023

    Just wanted to share information on the Fossil Fest near Summerville. I haven't been before, so I'm not sure how it is.
  11. 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!

    Summerville/Greens Mill Run side trip

    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 cannot wait to get back up there and hunt again!!!
