I found this tooth today at my usual spot at in Summerville SC and I found this tooth amongst the sharks teeth that was very strange to me. The most similar thing online I’ve seen to it is squalodon due to the wrinkly enamel, accessory cusps, and two roots. However, they seem to be extremely rare or nonexistent in this region. I would love to hear any thoughts or opinions on the ID of this tooth. Thank you on advance!

I bought these fossils a few months ago form a small rock shop in southern Utah, they were found in an assorted basket of small fossils likely bought in bulk along with ray barbs, gar scales, shark teeth, puffer mouth plates, barracuda teeth and shark verts. the store owner did not know what they were nor the location they were found. my guess would be the Chandler bridge Formation but I'm not sure. Looking for I identification if anyone knows what these are?

I am new to this forum, but from what I have gathered the formations present in Summerville are the ones I have tagged. I have found several shark’s teeth in the bank of man made flood ditches in Summerville SC. I found these three teeth that just seemed different. I would be thrilled to learn more about these and potentially be able to ID them. If there’s any issues with the pictures, I’d be happy to put another one up to be more clear. Thanks in advance!

This fossil appears to have two holes at equal length on one side and it comes out the back at a larger distance apart. You can see all the way though each hole

Hollow bone. Looks fossilized. Did the burn test just to make sure no burnt hair smell at all. I thought only birds had hollow bones, any ideas??

This piece is .45" long. Barbs/teeth on one side only @ .025" tall & .025" pitch. The opposite side of the teeth is not damaged and show no evidence of teeth or barbs. Can anyone give me some clues as to what this might be?

Originally from the Midwest, I've been hunting for fossils for about 50 years and found about two "fossilized sea shells". And this was not from a lack of trying! I moved to Summerville, SC about three years ago for a job that included lots of travel. Now that travel is finished and meeting new friends in the area, I have connected with some kids that stumbled onto something that I think is big! Had I grown up in Summerville, I probably would have change my career to paleontology instead of Electrical Engineering. I am amazed at the finds here in my home town. I have taken my wife and kids including their friends to a spot that allows them to find Shark teeth (at a minimum) within 2 minutes of arriving to an area. My dilemma, I would like to know what these type of "dermal denticles" are. For every 20 shark teeth I find, I find one of these. Please refer to the attached pics. Thanks Matt

Hi, I’m new to this site and currently trying to get some of my different fossils identified, for I do not know too much about them. Here are two shark teeth that I can’t ID. At first I thought the larger one was a megalodon tooth but after more research I am uncertain. I found the larger one on folly beach, SC, and the smaller one in a Summerville ditch. Thanks!

Hey guys, I pulled these vertebrae out of the chandler bridge formation (late oligocene) in Summerville, SC today. Does anyone know what they belong to?

Hello everyone, I bought this tooth a while back from @Sharks of SC and it’s been nagging at my brain for a while. SOSC came to the conclusion it is a thresher tooth (and I do agree) but it has two cusps. As far as I know, Trigonotodus alteri is the cusped variety of giant thresher, but usually only has one cusp each side. I seem to remember seeing another double cupped thresher for sale a long time ago, but one of the cusps was very reduced. Information on these guys is incredibly scarce, so I was wondering what your (the clever people who inhabit this forum) thoughts were on it. It’s from the chandler bridge fm (oligocene) in SC, although Miocene fossils sometimes find their way in. According to SOSC other thresher teeth were found at the site. I considered the possibility of serratolamna, but none looked quite right and the age makes it very unlikely (though I suppose a thresher based on overall rarity is unlikely). SOSC’s pictures, I’m horrid at photography. About an inch slant height Thanks for any help! These threshers sure are interesting, I think I might have to start a thresher sub-collection...

I am trying to identify some of the teeth I have found over the last couple trips. Are the top three great whites? The bottom two makos? Thanks for your help.
