Pgrigg Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I found this on the beach at Myrtle Beach/Surfside Beach S.C. It looks like a sharks tooth. Can anyone identify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Moved to FOSSIL ID. Welcome to the Forum. We are going to need in focus pictures of both sides, from directly above the item.

ThePhysicist Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Welcome to the forum! Probably not a shark's tooth. From the photo it looks to me like a section of a sand dollar. Post photos with good lighting, focus, and multiple sides for the most accurate id. 1 "Argumentation cannot suffice for the discovery of new work, since the subtlety of Nature is greater many times than the subtlety of argument." - Carl Sagan "I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there." - Richard Feynman Collections: Hell Creek Microsite | Hell Creek/Lance | Dinosaurs | Sharks | Squamates | Post Oak Creek | North Sulphur River | Lee Creek | Aguja | Permian | Devonian | Triassic | Harding Sandstone Instagram: @thephysicist_tff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammathus Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Well good morning from Sacramento CA. I agree with the previous replies. Although it has that "shark tooth" kind of shape, there would be a more distinctive identification of the tooth and the "root." I am a vertebrate paleontologist, so I'm marginally informed on invertebrate fossils. My guess would would follow the more knowledgeable ones. Probably ad echinoderm of some sort. Still very fun to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
