Hello, I found this shark tooth a few days ago in Charlotte County FL East of 75, looking in a pile of excavated shell/dirt, etc. Any idea what type it is, the color seems unusual to me? I thought I might find a few others but never did, there were a lot of shells mixed in, kind of figured where I find one tooth I might find more, but didn't work out that way today. Anyway, thanks in advance for any assistance, that is a nickel for reference. Thanks, Glenn

I have here a tooth that a seller claims is from a French Meg. It's 2" in length. This is a reputable seller, but my concern is that I don't see a bourlette. Everything else adds up for me and that's the only concern I have. Does anyone else doubt that this is a Meg? Thank you, Bellamy

I have a tooth here that I'm not sure on - torn between Sand Tiger and Goblin. It's around 1 1/4". It's from Florida.

Strange rock found in a newly plowed hillside. The hill was shaved flat for a soccer field behind a new middle school. Found this on the plow line, thought maybe arrowhead but im really nowt sure. Tacanite or some other mineral. This was found just east of madison, in cottage grove. Would love some help identifying thank you.

I found this along the Calvert Cliffs (Miocene exposure) in Maryland. The root shape doesn't look right to me for Carcharodon hastalis, though I could be wrong on that. Is it perhaps an Isurus desori?

Megalodon - Peruvian
BellamyBlake posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I have a question that, to an extent, is about this specific tooth. But it's also a general one. The seller claims this is a Peruvian Megalodon. How can that claim be verified? The colors seem to match up, but I've also seen similarly light-colored teeth from other localities. Is there anything else I can look for, or is it mostly the seller's reputation one has to go off? I'm interested in collecting Megalodon teeth from various exotic localities, so this is also a concern for Megs from Java, the Caribbean, New Caledonia, etc. Other than color, I know that teeth from New Caledonia teeth often contain damage from dredging, so I suppose that's another way to verify a claim for that locality. Thank you, Bellamy -
I have here two shark teeth that were found in Florida. I have a pretty good idea of what they are, but would like some confirmation please! Modern Hammerhead Shark? And is it possible to narrow down a species? It's 1/2"

I'd like some opinions on one more Megalodon tooth, please. It's 5.8". This one I am suspicious of because it looks a lot more polished than most of the teeth I've seen that were found in the Atlantic Ocean. The claim is no restorations, in any event, so some more eyes would be great. Thank you, Bellamy

I have here a Megalodon tooth. The one who sold it to me mention it's from Florida. I'm interested to know the locality because I'd like to acquire Megalodon from every major site. This looks Bone Valley to me, based on the coloration. Could anyone confirm if that's enough to say so?

I had a banged up Great White tooth; the root was almost completely missing, and the top of the crown was, too. I decided to restore it, mostly for fun. A bit of epoxy putty and paint later, the root is completely reconstructed and I reckon it looks pretty decent.

Hi everyone, I posted yesterday about restoring my Megalodon tooth. I'd like to first and foremost thank the community for their help in answering those questions, and special shoutouts along that vein to @Reptilia and @mattbsharks. This is a 3" tooth from South Carolina that was around 85% complete. It was missing parts of the sides, and the tip. I completed the restoration today. Overall I'm happy with it. To me, it looks like it's been restored. That could simply be because I'm the one who worked on it. Nevertheless it was fun, not to mention great experience for next time! Supplies used: * Acrylic paint (Black, Brown, White, Tan, and Golden Brown) * Gloss finish * Epoxy putty (PaleoPutty is hard to find in Canada; I used JBWeld High Heat, which allows 1 hour before setting) * Sandpaper (220 grit) * Respirator (sanding safety!) * Paintbrushes (soft, made of the finest imported mammoth fur just kidding extremely generic) * Knife (detailing) Here's the tooth before I reconstructed it:

Is This A Shark Tooth Calcified In Something, Or Just A Rock?
HeidiQueen posted a topic in Fossil ID
I was at the beach during low tide when I went in the shallow water and was looking for various stones when I came across this object. I’m not sure if it is a shark tooth encased in a rock of some sort, or just a rock? I think it is only a rock but the contours of this object could signal that a fossil is inside. Does anyone know what this could be? Thank you everyone. -
Hi everyone, I have here a shark tooth from the United Kingdom Eocene. It wasn't given to me with much more information. It's around 8mm and unserrated. Is it possible to narrow down a species?

Hi everyone, I have here a tooth advertised as Carcharocles Aksuaticus. It's 5.5 cm, and supposedly found in Kazakhstan, which would support that identification. They state it's Middle Eocene. However, I'm not so sure about this identification. It appears to be fully serrated, which would instead suggest to me Carcharocles Auricalatus. I've been looking for one of these for a while, and would love to make sure it is what it's advertised as before I buy it. Anyone know?

Hello, please help ID this shark tooth that I found years ago in a road cut on SR 37, close to Oolitic, Indiana, south of Bloomington, IN. from tip to tip about 7mm and size of the root from side to side also about 7 mm. The other fossils we found on that road cut were the crinoids, blastoid, brachiopods, etc., Missiissippian ear? You can see the crinoids, etc embedded next to the shark tooth. What kind of shark tooth is it? Thank you.

I was fortunate to find almost all of the pieces, including the tip, but do not know what adhesive to use Never the less I would like to know what species this is from! I have found various prehistoric fish parts from the rock Pile this has come from, Such as teeth from Eugeneodontida and Cartilage. The tip
