Hi. These three where found in St. Pete’s Florida on the beach. Is it possible the first one in top is a small great white? The serrations on both sides is causing me to think that. The middle tooth I think is hammerhead? based on the research I did. The bottom tooth I believe is sandbar based on how thin the root is and the length of the blade? Any feedback would be much appreciated. I’m still trying my best to ID these as accurately as possible. Thank you in advance!

This nice little tooth turned up in the sifter on the Peace River in Florida. I think it's a deer tooth, but I'm not sure because it looks a little small. Could it be something else? The cube is one square centimeter.

I have been using this website to help educate myself and identify theses teeth. I believe all teeth on the right of the penny are the sameness; Lemon Shark. I also believe that all the teeth are the same to the left of the penny. My initial thought was Copper Shark. After going through this website I was thinking Thresher Shark. Any help or confirmation with thes would be much appreciated. This is the link https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/discover-fish/sharks/fossil/shark-tooth-id-guide/#q23

Hi. Me again. I feel like I post something everyday asking for help. I really have learned so much from everyone here the past month. So a big thank you. So I believe based on research and past post that the first group of teeth are bull shark because the location of the nutrient pore on the lingual side is below the bulge in the root. The second picture I believe is also carcharhinus but not bull because instead of a nutrient pore on the lingual side there is a transverse groove. So that leads me to the question what type of carcharhinus has a transverse groove? I hope on the right path in my thinking. Boy I hope so or this post will be embarrassing. Haha. Thank as always for any feedback! Mark

Hi. First I would like to apologize in advance if I am stepping out of bounds with this ID request. Feel free to tell me if this is not appropriate. I am just really getting into this and trying to separate my collection of 800+ teeth by species. I think I have handle on the different types of tiger shark teeth but now I need help with these so I can get pointed in the right direction. Thank you so much in advance for any feedback and please tell me to go pound sand if this is a crazy pic. Mark

Can anyone help ID these two shark teeth. I inherited my Grandfathers collection and I am trying to group them into shark type. I believe these are all tiger shark teeth. If you anyone can take a quick glance and confirm that would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for any comments. Mark

Another found in the area where a lot of Dugong fragments were. The shape and patterns of the core has me wondering what it might be.

Another find from last week in an area where I found a lot of Dugong fragments. This one I was at a loss on. Thinner than anything I have found of similar length.

Total strikeout at Venice Beach Florida today. Not a single tooth. Wonder what I was doing wrong with the stiffer tool? Others on the beach alwo had no luck today.

Anyone know what this jaw is from? Apparently collected back in the 90's in Tampa Bay Florida, I'm not sure on the geography of the area, but it also says allegedly it's from the pleistocene. The description of it is specific enough to say it was collected in a river deposit, but i'm not sure which. I agree that it's a carnivorous mammal, but beyond that I have no idea, any clue what it is?

Why is it you always break/chip/destroy the big one?
Calvin Jenkins posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
So dry season is making slough hunting possible again. These were 12-24" down in a now dry creek bed all within about 4 linear feet of each other. And I happily complied with the rules of fossil hunting and broke the big one trying to get it out. -

Figured I would post this here, acquired it at a sale today... Was found in Collier County, FL. I think it is a shark coprolite, but would like to get more opinions/verification on the ID. Measures 6 inches long.

Got in a few hours of digging today and popped a few keepers out. One day I'm going to find a nice complete Meg that size.

Had a good bit of success visiting a river I've been to in the past. I had "cleaned" this area out last year but I tried an experiment & piled all the rock/limestone that I worked through last year up in the center of the river expecting that it would trap sediment & moving fossils upstream of the rocks during the rainy season. Like most of my plans it didn't work as I expected, it seems that the sediment didn't deposit behind the rocks but the flow tumbled the rocks and sediment deposited downstream of the rocks. I spent about 4 hours digging out about 120 square feet of deposits 6-10" deep and screening. Pretty much about the easiest hunting scenario you could hope for in a river. I picked up everything that I recognized as a shark tooth (one bison tooth 2 bits of stingray & about 2 back packs worth of dugong bone bits). I wanted to point out a few things, 1) almost all teeth are river black, there are less than 5 teeth that had other coloration (bone valley like), 2) a high percentage are broken but not necessarily "river worn". So that evening I went to a social party & took the nice Meg to show some friends, of course one of the guest is totally enamored and tells me I've got to take them along next time so they can get some like that too! If only it was that easy....everyone would be doing it!
