  1. Some winter! Lots of rain, then wind, followed by highs near 80 F, lows in the mid 40s. Beaches were over run (but I saw no cow sharks when (crudely) IDing teeth. Spring fed creek is icy cold water, but trees are coming alive and soon will be sucking up that water. Lots of fossil bone bits (and beach glass) and three cow shark teeth (two standard bottom laterals, with a top tooth between them). The usual sand tiger, smaller ones dug up, and a few tiger shark, and some small gray shark and a mako or two. Nothing special but a storm coming tonight, may help with beach teeth.

    September 24, 2023

    Yesterday evening we went out to a spot we haven't visited in a while, it started out extremely slow, until we hit on one spot that held a possible whale tooth (link to ID thread at bottom) and from there we started pulling out a lot more teeth, here's what we found, enjoy! nice hastalis, probably 1 1/2 inches great white with some great colors fish jaw Whale tooth?

    Creek trip 4/7/23

    Went out to a creek yesterday and, wow! It was a great trip, we got three hastalis teeth, two great white, two MONSTER tigers, and what I believe is dolphin tooth, but I'll probably have checked later. Thanks for reading!

    Peace River Diving Trip 3/4

    Hello everyone, Last weekend @Pooch and I headed to the river to try to dive it for the first time and I think it went really well. We really had no idea where to go so after searching the forum for a while and giving it our best shot we decided to go for it. It was a great day of finding teeth and dragging scuba gear around. It took us quite a while to find a spot we thought had potential but end the end it was a great time. Here are pictures of some of the nicer teeth that I found that day. We ended up finding a ton of Tiger's and Himi's and @Pooch found 2 full megs and sadly I only found frags.

    Venice Diving Trip 2/25

    Hello everyone! I headed down to Venice, Florida to go diving for the day. We ended up doing really good and it was definitely worth the trip. We did three dives and i ended up with a good amount of megs/makos/himis, a few hundred small teeth, a piece of mammoth tooth, two whale ears, a whale vert, and an alligator scoot . I also got a piece of tusk that is about 3" diameter and 12" long. It is not pictured here because it is super fragile and some has already fallen off. It's currently soaking in fresh water and once it is done I will update with some photos. The largest meg is measuring in at just over 4.5" and it one of the highest quality ones that I have found to date. Let me know if there is anything else you would like to see better photos of!!

    Indonesian Tiger Fang

    Hello everyone, I've recently acquired this tooth from Indonesia. The seller mentioned it is a tiger tooth but they don't have more information. Does anyone on the forum know about indonesian fauna from the miocene-pliocene? do you think the tooth is real or fake? Many thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards, A.P
  7. Can someone please help me with an ID on this? I was almost positive it’s a short faced bear, but the person who found it thinks tiger. It was found in Indonesia. It weighs 5 kilos.

    Shark Tooth ID - Florida

    Please help ID any of these sharks teeth that were collected from the west coast of Florida (near Venice) this past weekend. Based on my research, the top two rows look like Sand Tiger and the bottom two look like Lemon. Would this be correct or are there any that look out of sorts?
  9. SharkySarah

    Tiger like?

    I think this is a tiger-like from the Calvert formation. Opinions?

    Tiger teeth

    Trying to use fossil guy to ID teeth from the Calvert formation. Is this a tiger?
  11. SharkySarah

    Tiger or tiger-like?

    Sorry I’m posting so much. I’m going through my collections and putting names to things. Are these tiger like or tiger sharks? Please note the numbers on the sticky notes since there are multiple teeth. Found in the Calvert formation

    Best Teeth to Date!

    Had an amazing day at the river this morning and found the best teeth I have found to date! Largest semi-complete meg, and two great whites over 2”! The largest being 2.25” which is my new best GW. I saw the corner of the largest great white sticking out of the formation and low and behold it was complete (minus 2-3 serrations near the root), and super sharp! The others were found in gravel beds around a fallen tree.
  13. I found this Hemipristis serra tooth a couple of years back. Looking at the left photo, I noted the bite marks, and the fact that the distance between each bite mark was approximately the same as the distance between this tooth's serrations!! So I make up a possible story. This shark was in a feeding frenzy, and under the feeding pressure, this tooth (like other shark teeth) fell out, but before it could clear the mouth area, the shark bit down again, leaving these telltale marks. There are likely other "possibles", but I prefer this one. Now more recently, I have another tooth, in this case a Galeocerdo cuvier, and interestingly it also has a bite mark. Once again the distance seems to be the same between the bite marks and between the serrations on this tooth. I notice a lot. Look at that little hole in the enamel above the bite marks. I have no story that explains that hole. But my story breaks down. The bite marks on THIS tooth seem post _ fossilization not in the enamel, but on the enamel. So I opened this thread to attract others who have bite marks on their shark teeth, and ask some of the shark tooth experts their insights. @Northern Sharks@Al Dente@siteseer@MarcoSr@Plax@sixgill pete

    rapp creek hunting

    Slipped out to the wooded creek. Children(?) have been busy hunting, they dig big holes near the creek bed? Maybe they know what they are doing. I was hoping some spots would yield cow shark teeth, but the kids have been busy in those areas. Guess being out of school so long has them bored, or more likely their mothers want them out of the house. No one was out today. Most areas I hunted were full of gravel and I found lots of broken stuff (not shown), nothing of size. I found a few tiny teeth which might be sand tiger symphyseal teeth; the roots look right , but they are smaller than usual? A few imperfect angel, one tiger (rare for this spot), and the majority sand tiger spikes. A few Tilly bones, vertebrae and some elongated curved teeth or bones. I see the poison ivy coming out everywhere! Spring peepers are abundant.

    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?

    Holiday Hunt

    Headed back to the Peace River yesterday after a 17 day absence. Water level and flow were a bit higher than I would have liked due to recent rainfall. I just couldn't stay away any longer! When I started the journey to the river the weather was cool and partly cloudy. Half way there I ran into light rain and fog and began to worry I had made a bad choice to make the trip (rain prediction was 50%). When I got to the river I had to prep the kayak under cover as the rain was coming down heavily. It tapered off as I donned my wetsuit and I set out under cloudy skies. Had almost made it to my planned hunting spot when the skies opened again with a downpour that forced me to hug the bank and hide under some low branches. It stopped raining after about 10 minutes and I continued on. After beaching the kayak I made my usual bank inspection. I reached down at one point and pulled up a handful of gravel from a crevice between some roots. Discovered a nice 1" Tiger shark tooth in my hand to start the day! Worked the area for the rest of the morning and pulled up another four tigers and a 1 3/4" partial Meg along with several other misc teeth. At one point a very large vulture landed on a log in the river within 30' of where I was digging. It sat there for about 15 minutes. It was unusual for it to be so close, and made me wonder if it thought I was it's next meal! Later, after it had left I circled over near where it had been sitting to work the area and finally noticed what the vulture was really interested in. There was a dead alligator, about a 10 footer, wedged belly up under an adjacent log. The alligator was covered with flies and bloated so its true size was hard to determine, but I could see it had some big feet with huge claws! Needless to say, I moved a bit away from the area to continue digging. Came up with some mammoth teeth fragments and a vertebra in the afternoon. Vert is 2" x 1 3/4" x 1 1/2". I will post it separately in the Fossil ID section once I have better photos in hopes of a possible id. attached are photos of the best finds of the day. No photo of the alligator as I was afraid I would drop the phone in the river! It also was not very photogenic.

    Peace River Visit

    With the Christmas holiday fast approaching I decided on a trip to the Peace River yesterday to squeeze in one last visit before the holiday prep takes over all free time. The morning temperature was in the 50's and fog was present when I got in the car and headed out. The above photo was taken on CR 64 heading east between Bradenton and Wachula at 8:30am. Seeing this heavy fog al the way to Wachula had me a bit worried about what I would find on the river! I brought along my wetsuit due to the morning air temperature, but the forecast called for a high temp of 86 for the day. Getting to the river I was relieved to find the sun shining and no signs of any fog! The water flow was moderate and the depth had dropped to a very manageable level. As I got the kayak in the water seemed cold but not bad enough to don the wetsuit, especially with the expected rise in temperature for the day. Got up the river, beached the kayak and got out take my usual shoreline hunt prior to digging and sifting. Within a few minutes I found a 2" partial meg tooth sitting in about two inches of water on top of the limestone riverbank. Nice way to start the day! Spent the morning sifting and not having a lot of luck, one nice 1" hemi, a few small shark teeth, turtle shell and mammoth fragments found. The water was cold and about mid-day I got out to warm up. While standing in the sun on the riverbank near the kayak I looked down in the water and saw what looked like the top of a tooth root. Pulled it out and had a nice 1" Tiger shark tooth! I'm lucky I hadn't stepped on it getting out of the kayak earlier! Continued sifting through the afternoon as the temp rose and the day became very comfortable. Found another spot that was giving up small teeth where I will return on my next visit. Not a lot of variety found but still a good day on the river!
  18. So, I've been hunting sharks teeth on and off in South Alabama since a young child. Since my two kids have gotten self sufficient, me and the wife have been taking alot of trips to the river to look for teeth. Finding the normal small teeth, for our area, got me to wondering if there were bigger teeth in our area. That led me to some late nights of researching the ins and outs of my area. The area we are close to has alot of Eocene era fossils and I quickly learned the Carcharocles auriculatus was THE SHARK during this time period. So, my goal became to find a complete tooth in my little honey hole. We would spend weekend after weekend at the river with the kids. My 8yo and 3yo right there with us digging and sifting! Both who want nothing more than to become paleontologist when they get older and sit there picking out ray plates, vertebrae, and teeth with excitement growing every time they see something in the sifter. Over the past several weeks, we have dug 100s of teeth and many other cool fossils which I have added to our collection but just chips of the elusive Carcharocles auriculatus teeth were all we were finding. Last night while at church, I was talking with a family about our finds thus far. You could see their kid's eyes lighting up with curiosity and they asked if we could take them sometime. We had originally planned on taking time to do some house stuff but I could tell their kids really wanted to go. We made a plan to meet this morning before the rain. We made the long hike to the hunting grounds and began to dig and sift. One after the other, the kids and their parents were yelling with excitement finding their first teeth! I was digging around getting dirt for them to sift when I felt that unmistakable sound of hitting something solid. I cleaned around the area and I saw a serrated edged tooth. Surely not...not a complete tooth. I carefully cleaned around the area to make sure not to damage it. I couldn't believe my eyes. A full tooth! I began to shake a little with excitement. I pulled it from the earth and showed everyone. This only pumped them up even more. Although this tooth is rare for our area, we kept digging with no luck of finding another one. The rain began to come in so we cut the trip short but I've babied this thing around all day, picking it up to make sure it is real and I wasn't dreaming. I know it's no 4" tooth but for me, it may as well be. It's become an infatuation for me and the family, so much so I have been looking at planning a family vacation around fossil hunting. My 8yo has expressed alot of interest in finding a megalodon tooth. So, if you guys and gals know of a good place I can take the family to do something like this please share! Below are a few pictures of the things we have found over the past few months as well as my Carcharocles auriculatus tooth I found today.
  19. Took a jaunt out to Shark Tooth Hill area, Ersnt Quarries to be specific, yesterday. Not too productive, but a few decent Makos, a little (7mm) fish vert, and the one inquired about here. It has the look of a Tiger shark of some sort, but is only 11mm across the root (cube it's on is 1" square). It has serrations on the cusp(let), distal and mesial sides. I don't recall the Galeocerdo Contortus I've seen having all three surfaces with serrations. It looks a lot like a Hammerhead, but I don't see serrations on the distal side on the crown on it. Can someone tell me what this is? Many thanks. Cheers.

    Hop 5 03/30/19

    1. Hemipristis serra: One of my first teeth of the day, found in the water. Small, but nice colors and perfect serrations. 2. Carcharias cuspidata: Flawless sand tiger. Symmetrical and super sharp, with both double cusplets intact. 3. Galeocerdo aduncus: Gorgeous tiger, almost looks like a G. cuvier because of size. Very nice root to crown contrast. 4. Odontocete tooth: Little porpoise/dolphin tooth with a long, thick root. In very good condition. 5. Ecphora sp.: A very nice small Ecphora, nearly complete, just missing the white part at the top. Rare to find more than a fragment of these at Brownies. Cast your votes! The poll will end in three days, on April 4th at 3:00 p. m. EST. Hoppe hunting!

    Rapp beach hunting

    Headed to the beach hoping the weatherman was right and could get to the edge of the shells piled at the shoreline just out of reach. The wind was predicted from the SW, but was calm then switched to the NE, and the tide stopped falling. The temperature stayed about 5 degrees lower than predicted as well. Couldn't get to the line of shells where I expected the bigger teeth should be, but with the wind causing a slow wash, teeth started appearing and I got a good variety, colorful and in good shape, though no big ones (and no cowshark, think I lost one in the wash). Will post the whale vertebra tomorrow after it dries. Weather is supposed to be warm tomorrow, may try another beach.

    Rapp beach

    Even though the tide sucks and it was difficult to get up early with dark cloudy skies, it is WARM (though the water lags behind), so I had to get out. The tide lines of shells had been spread out more evenly on the beach and I hoped to find stuff there. But first I walked the incoming tide with surprisingly little to show for it (three sand shark, one decent tiger shark and three shrimp coprolite burrows (still drying). Lots of small "whale bone" pieces. Also a flat piece with scales(?) almost painted with enamel, that is flaking off?? (I default always to turtle.) Walking the beaches I was disappointed; possibly the lack of sunshine and the black bits of leaves and wood just overwhelmed my teeth spotting abilities (i'm half blind). I decided to root around where I had found my half of a megalodon a few days ago, wishful thinking, and while no meg I found a nice 2" mako lying out in the open . Don't think it was there a few days ago. Hunted the rough stuff high on the beach hard but nothing else interesting. But the nice weather and mako and shrimp coprolites turned it into a decent two hour trip trip.
