My wife got me into tooth hunting and after several years visiting coastal beaches in South Carolina and Georgia we set our sights on bigger finds. Over the past few months we have been going to the Savannah River with numerous finds like Megs, giant makos, great whites, pygmy sperm whale teeth and unidentifiable bone fragments. Looking forward to help from the group from time to time. Attached is One of Saturday a finds. any idea what it is?

Hello Everyone, Something that has always confused me ... teeth like this. This was a tooth pulled from Savannah River dredge material. I can't confirm the formations but the dredge worked the river to 47foot depth. I've read in some spots that the material could possibly be as old as Miocene. My assumption when I am hunting is Pliocene to Pleistocene. Is this just a juvenile meg tooth with cusps or a chubutensis tooth ? Should the cusps be more integrated into the blade ? 2 inches on the slant. Anyhoo ... an outlier to the teeth that I normally find which are solidly in the megalodon camp. At least from a morphological standpoint. @Al Dente Have you seen chubs pulled out of the river ? Thanks, Brett

Hi everyone, I found this in January of 2017 on Shark tooth island on the Savannah River in Georgia. Always have been curious what it is. The area has dredged material and contains fossils from the Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene. It is slightly conical and symmetrical, uniform, and ovalish in cross section - straight in profile with no discernible curvature. In profile, one side is smoother and striated, the other coarser, dimpled, with elevated black speckles. It is not porous inside like other bones from the area. It appears to have schreger lines. I'm not sure if it is some sort of tusk, but I havn't seen other tusks without some degree of curvature. Overcast day here in Seattle. If photos aren't clear enough I'll upload some others on a sunny day. Thanks!

Hello all! I am very new to fossil finding but it truly fascinates me. Most online pictures are tricky for me to properly indentify my finds. The large fossil in the first photos, I found in a dredge spoil off the Savannah River. I have many more I would love to share and learn more about. Thanks, Emmy

Hi I am curious to see what this may possibly be... found just off the savannah river on the Georgia coast. It appears to be either a tooth or tusk of some kind, solid on one end, appears to be somewhat hollow on the other. Also any thoughts on the couple of items in the immediate background would also help. I've been fossil hunting about three years but still have so much to learn. I believe one is small gator tooth, a possible snake vert., a Glyptodon scute, and maybe another small tooth of some sort (or just n interesting stone, but appears to have small root, may be difficult since so small in the pics. Any help is so much appreciated. All found in same area today, close to dredging areas not too far away. Thanks!

Wondering what the shark teeth experts think of these. Found on man-made dredge island in Savannah River. I'm thinking A is great white and. B might be a bull shark, but am not positive and don't have guesses about the others. Thanks!

Found this buried in the sand on a man-made dredge island in the middle of the Savannah River. Guy I was with said it was a partial megalodon... what say you all?

Found this on the same man-made dredge island as the (now id'd, thk you!) whale tooth. Unsure what to guess... rib?
