  1. So I was looking through my old fossil collection when I saw these shark teeth. It is thin and looks non-realistic.I want to see if these two are real or not.
  2. Hello! I’m new to the fossil forum, and fairly new to hunting/collecting although fossils have always fascinated me. I caught the bug for hunting when I vacationed for the first time at Folly Beach two years ago. A lesson on the beach with the delightful and knowledgeable Ashby, plus a fortuitous trip to Morris Island, sealed the deal and I have been increasingly obsessed ever since. My collection currently includes the following (99% as-yet-unidentified): one week’s worth of specimens from Folly Beach summer of 2022, one week’s worth of specimens from Folly Beach summer of 2023, a medium-sized estate collection acquired locally and all marked as coming from Edisto dating from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, a collection of approximately 300 small shark teeth of unknown origin acquired locally at a thrift store, and several fossils of aquatic specimens found in Lexington KY where I live (found on a creek bed site on my brother’s farmland, as well as in limestone-quarry rock piles). My family will be spending one week this summer vacationing at Edisto, and I look forward to the opportunity to find even more land mammal fossils than I have at this time. I have largely focused on shark teeth on my two hunting trips, and will be excited to hone my skills pinpointing other types of shapes, textures and colors on the beach. I plan to use this space to start showcasing my collection and getting help with identification. This area is very new to me, so I am eager to learn from all the experts here on the Fossil Forum!

    ID for shark teeth from Purse state park

    Hi all, I have a ton of teeth gathered from Purse state park and I’m not sure how to ID. Can anyone please help with these few? Hoping to learn how to do it myself eventually
  4. Hi all, I have probably around 500 shark teeth from Purse in Maryland. I’d really like to try to ID and categorize them, but I can’t seem to find a comprehensive source and a lot of the internet sources don’t have very good pictures. Does anyone know of a good resource to use for this? A book would be great.

    C. Hatalis teeth?

    Found these teeth from Batesford Quarry which is late Oligocene to middle Miocene. I am confident that they are C. Hastalis but would appreciate a second opinion.
  6. I go Fossil hunt in Antwerp, Belgium on a regular base as i live in the region. I'll try to share some of my experiences and finds along the way. For starters some of yesterday's finds as I went searching the shores of the river Schelde by night... VID20231209183331.mp4
  7. Found this hastalis shark tooth in a florida creek was just wanting to share, but also wanting to ask whats the biggest lesser great white tooth people have found or personal found. Ive only been fossil hunting for two years but this is my personal best hastalis tooth its about 2.7 inches.

    Shark tooth ID

    Wondering if anyone could ID this tooth from a south carolina creek. I found it a while back during a creek walk im more or less new to fossil hunting but im hoping its a worn down Parotodus benedini tooth. thanks

    South Carolina shark ID

    Found this tooth on a trip to south Carolina a while back. Wondering if anyone can give an ID too it along with like how old it might be? Thanks in advanced
  10. Hello again! I haven't posted in a while, but I've been keeping busy looking through microfossils and have found some cool things. The scalebar subdivisions are 1mm. Let me know what you think about this haul, and any other ideas on IDs. Miguel M Some fish jaws: (Anguiliform dentary?) (drum pharyngeal jaw) Some fish vertebrae and basioccipital Random fish teeth (maybe a scombriform?) (Some other fish teeth. Leftmost could be a sheepshead incisor, no idea as to the others) Elasmobranch teeth (skate teeth) (The one to the right looks very interesting)

    Had a Toofer Weekend

    I wasn’t expecting much from this weekend adventure, been having a dry spell with the last few hunts and a lot of misses. Gave it the good OL’College try again and oh did it pay off big time with finding not one but 2 teeth in extraordinary condition on back to back days and 2 different epochs vastly separated from each other geographically which is really cool. Time traveling but without the DeLorean! (Front and back photos of the larger tooth) 2 & 5/8 inches from tooth tip to the larger side of the root; which would be about 66 mm.

    Peace River Hunting

    The Zolfo USGS river depth gauge was down enough to believe that some of the low water spots would not be too deep. It has been months since we have gone back to this particular spot on the Peace River. Last time, I picked up a very nice Meg, a quality dolphin Bulla, and some silicified seashells. We had some cool temperatures predawn Monday with my car thermometer showing 61 degrees Farenheit. I just had a 3mm jacket and wonder if it would be enough. It was enough. The sun came out and there was no breeze. Big plus is that the coolness kept the mosquitoes away for a while. There was a fairly strong current and the water tended to be deep, in the 4-5 foot range. I had found some pretty shark teeth in past trips... Here is one of them. This is one of those locations on the Peace River where I have never found a Sand Tiger... but it does have a lot of Hemis. I was glad to get out . I found a few things , but not very much. Steve found a 2 inch canine, a couple of tapir teeth, and a couple of nicer Megs than the one I found. So, a whale vert, section of a dolphin jaw, dolphin Bulla and petrosal both very worn, some partial silicified seashells. and small shark teeth. There are a number of decent upper Hemis, and then a couple of Galeocerdo mayumbensis (Steve found 5 decent ones.) That's an example of a relatively rare tooth that shows up in numbers occasionally. Note the whiteish roots on some of the small shark teeth.. Definitely interested where they are coming from... The Peace River usually stains these black. When I am not finding lots of things, I tend to keep more then I should... Here is an example. It is about 40 mm and I just felt I should have recognized... a turtle or gator bone.. I'm thinking turtle... A nice outing good exercise, and the feeling that the season on the Peace River is starting..
  13. Hello everyone! Yesterday I got a chance to dig in one of New Jersey's famous Cretaceous streams. Once again I planned out a fossilhunt to coincide with my Son's Marching Band competition at Metlife stadium. I have been doing this the past few years as a way to kill two birds with one stone. My wife and I left our house in New York around 5:15 am and arrived at the stream around 10 am. Since my wife has no desire to climb around a stream getting wet and dirty, she left me for a few hours to go shopping. I will say that I had low expectations for this trip. The past few years I have been finding less in the streams. They have become increasingly popular and get searched very hard. I chose to go to a spot that @frankh8147 took me to a few years ago. He told me that in his experience, it produced more reptile fossils then other areas. Indeed i ended up finding my first small complete Mosasaur tooth there the following year, even though i have been hunting these streams since 2006-7? Though that tooth was much smaller then what would come on this dig. So i started off digging in a particular spot that i happen to like. I found a couple small decent sharkteeth right away. I thought to myself that this was a good sign. Well i dug this particular spot for awhile and all i got was small broken bits off sharkteeth for the next hour. So i started randomly picking new spot to dig and things were not looking good. Absolutely nothing. Then i noticed a small gravel bed that was wedged in between some fallen tree branches. I decided to give it a shot. After a few scoops of gravel in the screen I wasn't finding anything. I almost decided to move on, but I had a nagging feeling that I should stay just a little longer. Then after a couple more scoops I looked down a saw a nice mosasaur tooth! I was very excited as this was alot bigger than the first one I found. It has a little tip, and cutting edge damage as well as some missing enamel but from the teeth that I have seen come out of these streams, I am happy with it. After this I decided to dig in this spot longer. I found what I believe to be a beat up crocodile tooth as well as a chunk of rock with gastropod impressions and molds. After this things went dead. I moved around checking other gravel beds and didn't find a scrap of anything except bits of belemnites. I guess this goes to show that even when you think everything has been picked over, sometimes perseverance pays off. Here are some pics
  14. This is the first serious fossil hunting I’ve been able to do in a very long time and it was awesome! I stopped here on a whim for an afternoon on a return trip from vacation and it was absolutely worth it. Despite being poorly equipped (I literally threw together a small sifter with stuff from the hardware store and a staple gun), I think I came out pretty well! Definitely going to have to make a return trip sometime, I think the conditions were less than optimal this time around. It seemed like the water level was higher than usual because of the hurricane, so I think a lot of the usual spots were inaccessible. I wore my Tevas and am incredibly lucky not to have lacerated the snarge out of my feet/legs - there’s an insane amount of broken glass in the creek. I would definitely bring waders next time.
  15. So having got even more obsessed with micro matrix lately, I now want some from California and some from Aurora! Also would take some Calvert Cliffs micro. Anyway - haply to trade Florida micro matrix for it, or some other Florida fossils!

    Fossils of Big Brook in NJ

    Found this at Hop Brook in Holmdel, NJ. Any ideas?

    Could these be fossils from a Rhizadont

    I was walking in a sandstone quarry in south wales when the following suspected fossils caught my eye. The last pics of the black fossils are from a wall in work. I suspect the same animal to be the culprit. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks!!!
  18. Hi All, On May 21st, 2023, my family and I took a 90 minute drive to Colt's Neck, NJ, to visit a place called Big Brook Preserve. I saw a video on Instagram of a person finding Cretaceous period shark teeth in the middle of a crick bed. I had to go to this place. Wife and I loaded up our 12 and 10 year old, and off we went. Our first trip provided us with 1 complete shark tooth (Scapanorhynchus - Goblin Shark), 1 partial shark tooth (same), some belemnites, a few oyster valves (Agerostera) and a nice Devonian period trace scallop fossil. I was hooked, family had their fun. We made another trip out the next week. Shark teeth came a lot easier, and we found a complete Squalicorax tooth, a couple complete Goblin shark teeth, and a few partials. We also found a complete Enchodus tooth. We kept finding new species. Next trip I went solo. Family kind of lost interest, but I was hoping to find some of the other species I read about being found in the Brook. Well, this trip set the hook for me. I discovered a tooth, and after posting on a FB group, confirmed it belonged to a Mosasaur. It was small, but mostly complete aside from a small portion of the point. Amazing! I was cleaning up some of my other finds, and had this shiny rock that I thought was more than a rock. But, this was in a pile of other rocks that might be more than a rock, that turned out to be just rocks Well, I posted this piece on a FB group, and to my surprise it was a fragment of a Mastodon tooth! Whoa! Never thought I'd find something like that, especially in NJ of all places. I'm sure I'll never find another, but glad to say I found the one. Since then I've been back pretty much every weekend, checking out the different brooks. Have found several more different species since then, and each time is a new adventure. Hoping to branch out to other areas of the country soon. Family & I are going to Beltzville State Park in August. Area is known for Devonian period fossils right on the shoreline. And a trip to Calvert Cliffs, MD is definitely in my near future! In any case, I thought it would be interesting to catalog some of my finds as I go along. Thanks for looking, and feedback good or bad is always welcomed (please correct anything I've misidentified - I'm still learning, and won't be offended). Eric I'll kick-off with photos of some of the locations I've visited. Big Brook - First and one of my favorite spots Ramanessin Brook - Lot's of small shark teeth Leopard frog joined me for a few sifts.
  19. Hi! I found this fossil on Folly Beach, SC on 7/31. I’m new to searching for fossils other than shark teeth but I’m thinking this is some kind of stingray tooth. Would love to know who this fossil came from! Thanks!!!
  20. Hi all, I am currently in Maryland and Virginia on a hunting trip through Saturday and Sunday. My friend and I have been collecting the Potomac River at Purse State Park and another locale, but have been rather disappointed with the poor amount of shark teeth. They’re also all tiny, can’t really recommend those sites personally. Just too over picked. We have a decision to make regarding where we go next. To go to the James river and York river, or to the Chesapeake and Calvert Cliffs/ the Cabins. I personally would like to find more variety in shark teeth and at least one croc tooth and crab claw, so I’d like to do the Miocene of the Calvert Cliffs. I also would really like to find a dolphin, porpoise, and or whale tooth. Is it worth going? I should mention I lack boat/kayak access and can only really beach comb or sift the waves. Is Calvert too over picked?
  21. Hi All, I was looking for assistance in identifying some shark teeth I've found in the Monmouth County Brooks (Big Brook and Ramanessin Brook). I think I have an idea, but am still learning so was hoping for some confirmation. Thanks in advance for any help! (Ruler is in CM - each line 1/10cm) Photo 1: I believe these are all Goblin (Scapanorhynchus) Anterior? Photo 2: Columns 1, 2 and 3 - Goblin Leteral, Column 4 - Goblin Anterior Photo 3 - I believe all are Goblin Leteral Photo 4 - A species of Mackeral Shark? Cretolamna appendiculata or Archaeolamna kopingensis?

    Shark Teeth ID

    Need help identifying the species of these shark teeth. They were both found on the beach in Venice, FL.

    Shark tooth identification

    I’m not sure if some of these are shark teeth, or teeth in general. Is it possible to identify what these are? I’m particularly enthralled by the dark grey flat tooth in the top row. Found these at Calvert cliffs the other day, can you help identify if these are shark teeth and if so what species they belong to?
  24. I live in North Carolina, and have been trying to find a good reliable spot other than gmr for a few years now. I would like any help, any spots, anything will help, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia or Florida, any spot that it good and reliable I would love to know about it.
