Sharks of SC Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hello everyone, I haven't posted in a whiile, but I have been hunting a bit. I got out today for a couple hours along the river here in Charleson, SC. These finds come from a pretty well-known dredge site, the finds are usually poorly preserved but abundant. Once in a while this beach produces well-preserved finds. Today I managed to find some good stuff - a nice big stingray dermal denticle, and stout fish jaw, two teeth from the uncommon giant thresher shark Alopias grandis, several nice snaggletooth shark teeth Hemipristis serra, a pretty but mangled Carcharocles angustidens, and an absolutely beautiful (as of yet) unidentified whale tooth. Thanks for taking a look! SOSC "In situ" - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boesse Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Nice finds! How are things? That fish jaw is from Tuna (Thunnus sp.) and the cetacean tooth looks like an incisor tusk of either Eosqualodon or Agorophius pygmaeus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyg Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Very nice. I really like the whale tooth. The winds have been pretty relentless these last weeks. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
