kristin92 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hello everyone. I stumbled upon this forum when I was looking to try to identify some shark teeth that I have found when I was vacationing last summer ('16 -- North Myrtle Beach) and this summer ('17 -- Surfside Beach, SC ... south of n. myrtle & myrtle). Found the black ones in the sand, by the water, the really white ones, I found in the softer, dry sand. I'm hoping someone will be able to help me identify some of these, that way I know exactly what i've found. Thanks in advance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 2017 ^ Surfside Beach, SC 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 2016 ^ -- North Myrtle Beach, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilselachian Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 You have two very fine examples of Great Whites - the first two depicted shark teeth. The color of the two teeth is also unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color of the two teeth is also unusual. i wish i had two. lol. but like ynot said, it's a front and a back. i tried to do front and back to help determine what shark the tooth came from. i actually found that great white tooth up in the softer sand. surfside beach is going through beach nourishment so they're bringing sand from the sea up to the beach to fix it after it got nailed by the hurricane last fall. so i'm not sure if it came up with that sand or if had just been up there in the soft sand, getting sun bleached and no one noticed it... hard to say.

fossilselachian Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yes, two views of the same tooth!! Not very observant on my part. In any case a very nice Great White tooth. We spent four months on Hilton Head this Winter while a renourishment project was underway. Shark tooth hunting on the island has always been minimally productive. However, the new sand was totally void of any tooth or bone material. After the first week or so it was obvious there were no teeth to find - at least for the moment.
