Murman Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 My wife and I spent a relaxing weekend at Folly Beach, SC last week and found over 300 shark teeth and other fossils. There are a few I need help identifying. The rectangular piece resembles a molar of some sorts and the 3 small pieces look like vertebrae maybe? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Top Trilo Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I would say Top left - sand tiger Mid left - Mako Bottom left - Tiger Large broken tooth is meg or megalodon ancestor such as chubutensis and the thing that looks like a pyramid is a ray dermal scute. Edit: Listen to Shellseeker Im no help with the molar or vertebrae but Im sure others do and could possibly narrow down the shark teeth to a species other than a genus “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

Shellseeker Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Last Photo: At the top is a fish vertebra . possibly with a pathology; at the left is one quarter of a shark vertebra; have to see more angles on the 3rd one. The mammal teeth are lower jaw horse teeth . Trying to get some contrast on it. It is about 1 inch, almost certainly Equus .sp The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first was a tapir tooth we found 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The mid left shark tooth is a nice Cosmopolitius hastalis tooth, rather robust! 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
