Windy Thursday in Charleston SC


Sharks of SC

Recommended Posts

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!

Nice finds, love the whale tooth and the threshers:fistbump: 

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

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.
