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!

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

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!
