Darktooth Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 First pic is a shark vertabrae. Could you take a close-up of the second item? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Hueso Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Welcome to the forum! First is definatly a shark vert. Could you give us more information of the location of where you found this? It will help us know what geological area you are in and what type of fossils should be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben&Jess Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 I can give you location. But as far as what formation we are very new to this fossil hunting we found all these in a small creek that has been recently producing very large Meg shark teeth and many other fossils in summerville SC which is about 25 miles west of Charleston SC as far as the ground we are searching this is what I am coming up with.Oligocene in age, and the uppermost unit of the Cooper Group: the Ashley Formation.

El_Hueso Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 That second picture is reminding me of some sort of gastropod like goniasma but the size is too big and the ridge on the top are leading me to think it's something else. Hopefully someone else can chime in soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben&Jess Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Would that be correct time?? frame being that this creek has obviously cut into several different formations. All of these we have posted have been found in a brackish creek that still receives tidal waters yet also fresh water to during rain events. There have been several Meg tooth’s along with complete sea turtle shells and sea cow bones and whale vertebrae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
