    Some SC Threshers/Benedinis? for ID

    Recently picked up a small handful of Thresher shark teeth from South Carolina - there’s 3 I’m not sure on the ID of. First is this one - which was labeled as P. benedini - measures just over 1”/3.25cm The second - thinking A. Grandis? Also just over 1”. And finally - forgot to take more pics of this one, but it’s closer to C. Planus, which I don’t believe exists in SC, so I’m not sure what it is. Person I got it from confirmed they found it themselves - also just over 1”. @Al Dente @hemipristis @Shellseeker Any help would be appreciated!

    Thresher tooth?

    Found this tooth in the Summerville area yesterday in a creek that has both Oligocene and Miocene fossils (Miocene comes from a Pleistocene lag deposit). My guess is a thresher of some sort, as I found 3 other threshers there yesterday, but this one looks different than the others (and the 4 or 5 other ones I've found in the last year). I just don't know what else it could be, if not thresher. The root here made me think Paratodus, but it otherwise doesn't look like a benedini: Two more typical threshers found in same creek yesterday (ones I find usually have little cusps also): New tooth on right, tooth previously IDed on forum as thresher on the left: 14 mm slant height. Root is 4 mm thick at thickest part, while the blade is only 1-3 mm. Thanks for any input!

    Thrilling Threshers!

    The genus Alopias, commonly known as the Thresher Shark, has been around for millions of years. These sharks use their abnormally long, whip-like caudal fin to stun their prey. This fin can grow to become more than half the length of shark's entire body. It is a strange and fascinating creature, and has been one of my favorite sharks ever since I was a little boy. Today, we fossil hunters can find the fossilized teeth of Thresher Sharks. They are typically rather small, and relatively uncommon. They look really cool in my opinion, and they're among my favorite types of shark teeth that are on the smaller side. So for this thread, SHOW US YOUR THRESHERS! I'll start by posting a neat little ring I made with my best Threshers so far. I'm excited to see what you all have found. Like I said, most of these teeth are pretty small, but I do understand that there's a species of Giant Thresher that can apparently be found at Calvert Cliffs and elsewhere. I've seen a few pictures, but never found one. Let's see what you all got!

  6. Hey All, I went on a shark tooth hunt today in Charleston, SC with a couple friends and we found what I think are some Alopias teeth. Is there any way determine if they are Alopias latidens or Alopias vulpinus? Also, not an expert by any means so feel free to correct me if they are something else! Thanks in advance!

    Unusual Markings Shark Tooth

    Hi, This question is between categories. Has anyone seen markings (numbers) on a shark tooth like this? I have tried to wipe them off with acetone, and they will not come off. Any idea how they were applied or how to remove them?

    None of my other many Mako’s look like this... So hooked. Confirming that that’s what it is.

    SC thresher tooth ID

    Hi, i have this thresher tooth that was found in the same area as some typical A. grandis teeth from South Carolina. I’m leaning towards grandis for this one based on size, bit it has a symmetrical shape that none of my other grandis teeth have. I am not familiar with grandis anterior teeth, perhaps it that? Thoughts and opinions appreciated. cheers!
  10. This was apparently published in September 2018, but it slipped past me and I’m posting it here in case it slipped past my fellow thresher lovers. The allusive serrated giant thresher has been named Alopias palatasi. Of course if you like Trigonotodus better, it is Trigonotodus palatasi. Now when I add one to my collection in the far far future, I can finally put a good label to it! Here is the description: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327871783_Kent_Ward_2018_Alopias_palatasi
