Hi everyone! I fossil hunt at Onslow quite a bit and have found a few things in the last couple weeks that I was curious about. The circle thing with a hole stumped a Facebook group I’m in. I did hold it up to a light and it is not see through so I’m assuming not glass. Thanks for any help as always!

This fossil was found by my uncle on the beaches of Onslow county in North Carolina. The fossil is roughly 18-19 inches long and 3-4 inches in width at its base. Any help is appreciated, ty.j

Hi all, My name Jackie, but my friends call me Jax, and I am visiting Onslow beach from Fredericksburg Va. I joined this forum because I found what looks like a tooth of some kind to me on Onslow beach. The couple I am with are local and have found tons of small black ones on this trip, and they have quite the collection at home as well. The "teeth" I keep finding are identified by my collector friends as "that's a rock". I found what appears to be a tooth of some kind, and I hope someone can help me ID it. I hope this doesn't become a new obsession, but considering I have spent a valuable hour of beach time researching what may, or may not be a shark tooth I fear it may be too late. Thank you. Beast Regards, Jax

Hello all! This is my second trip ever (the other was Purse State Park in MD) because I became addicted, so I am still learning the ropes but I am getting the eye for teeth! Onslow Beach is a beautiful beach aside from all the teeth! I tried my best to identify based on pictures that I have seen around the internet and I'm trying to be objective but it certainly is easy to see the "cooler" tooth as opposed to what it might be so that's why I ask and I'll try to be as detailed as possible! #1. Wanted to start with stuff even I think I can identify, string ray? #2. Sand Tiger? Found many of these, but this was my largest! #3. Now it's less clear for me, this one throws me. I'm not even sure it's a tooth, it could be something else but the vertical indentations running up and down seem to stop and to me seems to be the separation between a tooth and root. The object itself is relatively flat. Maybe I am mistaken! #4. This one also throws me, it's cylindrical and I was thinking maybe a crocodile/alligator? #5. I thought these were very cool just because of the jagged edges and they were the most defined in these two although I am not sure they are of the same tooth. Wasn't sure? #6. I think I am most excited about this one, Great White or Mako? Or am I seeing something "cooler" here? Thank you so much, I love the forums here and all the kind and warm welcomes and help I receive here. I am hoping with time I can become as experienced as you all I feel so silly asking because I know you guys have seen the same teeth a million times over but it means so much to have confirmation to what I find. Thanks again!
