Took a quick trip to Folly Beach in South Carolina this weekend and I was able to do some nice collecting.  A lot of smalls but a couple nice sized teeth (sorry for using US quarter for size.  Several Sand Tiger Shark teeth, a couple of Tiger Shark teeth, maybe one Hemi.  The larger specimens are what I believe to be a Great White and a Shortfin Mako.  The Mako specimen doesn't have any cusps so I'm not 100% sure.  As for the long thin specimens I'm looking at ray plate partials?   Any feedback is always appreciated.

Hi,

 

You’ve been apologizing for the coin for several posts. About the measurements, look in my signature, there’s a document you can print and you can use it by putting your fossils on it for your future photos.

I believe you are correct that it is a GW and a mako.  The "ray plates" look like tail spines to me.  Not bad for Folly!

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Perhaps.  But different coins.  This time I stepped up to a quarter vs a nickle.

Topics Merged. 

 

 

The point is that it is better if you use a ruler, tape measure, or printed cm ruled paper for your photos.

As an international Forum, not everyone knows the coin sizes.  ;)

Yes, understood.  I've been meaning to take care of that but I tend to get distracted.  My response to Coco was a tad cheeky.
