  1. First time fossil hunting and I brought back the teeth, bone and miscellaneous finds dug up from a spot along the South Carolina coast. I would love some help identifying the bigger ones, or anything that is noteworthy. I'm especially eager to get the right ID on Group B. Here are my guesses, but I am very new to this... Group B: 1-3, 7 and 8: Snaggletooth shark? 4: Megalodon (top left broken) 5: Sand tiger? 6: No idea. The curve seems to be part of the tooth shape, not a result of chipping. I can post a close-up of it or the other side. Group A: Baby Shark Teeth 2, 7: Baby sand tiger? 6: Not sure why this one has a copper color to it (my friend I went with found this interesting) 10, 15: Extinct baby great white? 12, 13: Tiger shark? 16: Similar shape to B6, but smaller Group C: Miscellaneous 1&2: Possibly fossilized coconut shell? 3: I'm not sure if this shell is a fossil or just old 4: Semi-transparent with black grains inside - hard to photograph. Maybe nothing interesting. 5. Probably nothing. Tooth shaped but maybe just bone. Group D: Fossilized bone fragments. Anything distinguishable? Thanks so much for taking a look!

    Megalodon Shark Tooth

    From the album: Robs Fossil Collection

    A 4.25 inch, “Shale Grey" complete megalodon tooth from the USA Miocene Period, Charleston Area, South Carolina, USA. Age:- 10 Million Years Old. Size of Tooth measured on the slant from tip of tooth to root end (L1) = 10.8 cm (4.25 inches) long
  3. These are my top 3 finds ever. I found all of them in a creek in Charleston SC. (Left Megalodon , middle Angustiden, and right Retroflexus)
  4. I just purchased these sold as Megaladon teeth. I see some repairs I think. The big one I think is in almost perfect condition. The others seem small so not sure if they are Megaladon or another shark fossil? Any help is appreciated.
  5. Thanks for any help. I am buying these off of online and the seller has 100 percent pos feed back and the teeth look real to my eye. I am no expert but I don't see anything that raises a red flag. Thanks for any help. Second tooth I bought.

    Fossil or rock?

    Found on Nokomis Beach, FL. Can you help us end our family feud? Awesome old shark teeth...or rocks...or something else? Thanks:)
  7. Where do i go to find the grey clay layer and big teeth. Dont want anything small
  8. Are these from the same or different sharks? Would love an ID and age. Found washed up on beach in Isle of Palms SC Thank you
  9. Same teeth different side. Messed up somehow. Sorry Isle of Palms SC beach find
  10. Good Evening, After one failed attempt of procuring an authentic Megaladon tooth and the money lost, I’m ready to resume attempts of purchasing a genuine specimen. Can you advise on a reputable location, store or website where I can now purchase an authentic megaladon tooth? I am very wary of scams, fake teeth, concrete molds, lead injection, etc. Support appreciated.

    Shark Tooth Prep

    Having finally found my first 3" Meg I was disappointed as it dried and took on a rather shabby look. When I first pulled it up it looked nice, clean and glossy while it was wet. Of course I was also partially blinded by its size. Here is what it looked like after drying a bit the day it was found (next to and earlier find for size/finish comparison): To clean it up I first used a soft bristle toothbrush and plain soap and water. A lot of the brown stain was easily removed with that first round. I then soaked it for 10 minutes in a 75% water 25% vinegar solution and again went over it with the soft bristle brush. All things I learned here on the Forum! I will now let it soak in water, rinsing it frequently, for a week to make sure all the vinegar is removed. Here is what it look likes now:
  12. Hi. I was wondering if or how to tell if this Meg tooth is real? It almost sounds like obsidian when I tap it. I have held quite a few teeth, it does feel and sound authentic. The lady I got it from salid there is papers to authenticate it, but cant find it. Thank you!
  13. So, I havent been active for a bit. Other hobbies and life dontcha know. But last night my sons dog decided he would dig around in one of the boxes of fossil stuff I have and pulled out a big zip loc bag of teeth I collected back in the late 90s, early 2000's down in Fla. the phosphate mine would not allow us in the mine (ARGH) but did allow us to collect where they dumped the slurry from processing. Needless to say, the vast majority of the stuff was beat to hell. An occasional gem was found, but mostly broken stuff. Since the dog dragged it out, I went through it and pulled the best of the damaged stuff. Even broken, you can see how gorgeous they would have been whole. I think it makes for a decent little mount regardless. And it reminds me I have boxes o stuff to go through yet. LOL

    Matoaka Beach, 8/24/19

    Greetings Through this awesome site, I found out about Matoaka Beach Cabins and the opportunity to find fossils there. My family and I stayed here in the Spring to check it out and my son and I camped out over the weekend and spent some solid hours trying to find fossils at this gorgeous spot. We found a bunch of small teeth on the first afternoon by taking shovel fulls of sand and letting the surf wash and sift them, grabbing any teeth that washed out. The morning of the second day presented us with a fairly high tide and we were unable to walk very far up the beach but we found a few of our larger ones fairly close to the cabins. The water was clear enough that we saw a few nice teeth tumbling in the surf in a few inches of water. I was only fast enough to grab one, and I think it might be a small Meg. Can you guys weigh in? It's the upper left one in the group and also the close up shot. It has a small chip but was still pretty awesome to find, meg or not. I read and reread every post on here about the fossils of the Chesapeake and I want to thank you guys for the great community and resource. My son and I had a blast and we can't wait to get back to do it again. Thanks! Chris717

    Chubutensis or Angustiden

    So I have posted a picture of this tooth before but I was recently showing it to a buddy and he said it looked like a chub but the cusps make me think angustidens. I want to know what you all think. I found this in an area that the formation is exposed in spots. The clay is a thick white clay speckled with tiny pebbles and other fossils. my geological maps that i used to find the location say that it is of Miocene age in the hawthorn group. However I am starting to think that there might be older clays exposed in the area. Please help me figure out what kind of tooth I have here, thank you.
  16. I finally got to do some hunting in the Peace River area of bone valley and just want some help with identifying these teeth.

    A day in Summerville, SC

    First time fossil hunter, and we had a blast! If anyone needs a guide, or just advice, I HIGHLY recommend Barry Segura of Fossil Madness (his company). He was able to point us in the right direction, as well as hook us up with some great equipment. Thank you for everyone on TFF that encouraged and gave me advice!!!
  18. Good morning to all, I will be traveling to Seabrook, South Carolina on Saturday (6/15/19), and have been doing some research regarding potential sites to go shark tooth/fossil hunting. I have been fascinated with fossils and shark teeth my entire life, but never lived in a location to support this hobby. I've read that Summerville, Charleston, and Cooper River (maybe off-shooting creeks), are common spots, but I'd like to have a more calculated game plan than just stopping at random rivers/creeks LOL. After reading through several of the forums here, I understand that some basic advice would be to utilize google earth or maps, and attempt to locate "dredge spots" in rivers..? Would anyone be willing to help a newbie out with some research 101 type advice? Again, your craft absolutely AMAZES me!!! Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!!

    Calvert Cliffs, Md

    These are my recent finds from a March 2013 trip to Calvert Cliffs, MD. The image you see is of the Maryland state fossil, Ecphora. Didn't find an intact megaladon this time, but I'll go back out.
