Hey everyone, Recently took a trip with a buddy of mine down to South Carolina to search for megalodon teeth. We found many small teeth along with some decent sized ones. These were found in the general area between Charleston and Summerville. The ruler is imperial. Big thanks to everyone who offers their guesses Pictured are three of my biggest from the whole trip. What are they?

Hi everyone, fellow Charlestonian here. I've recently got back into shark teeth hunting and have been to a few locations such as behind the YMCA and in those creek branches round there. I am posting here to ask everyone if they have any good locations they would share. I know this community is tight lipped and secretive when it comes to this, but I was hoping there would be a few individuals who didn't mind helping someone actually find some good finds. I get most sites are on private property or the individual has connections to get onto quarries (i.e. Black River Fossils), but I know there are viable locations out there that are not well known too. Thank you.

Hi everyone, need help with some identification here. The first photos of the brown looking tooth was found in Edisto, while the bone you see was found in Dorchester Creek in Summerville.

I just joined this group. I found this today in the surf of Holden Beach, NC. Just hoping someone can identify it for me

The girls and I got turned away from Matoaka Cabins at capacity) last weekend and I’m sure glad they did. We had a blast - a couple hours at the Cliffs and came across this little beauty laying in a muddy fall pile. I’m assuming a Hubbell Meg with some slight patho ripples. We also met @HemiHunter and his boys poking around the waves too

Here’s my fossil question this week: Every now and then people speak of “Hubbell Megalodons” or “Hubbell-type Megalodons”, and everyone seem to know what that means. Maybe I’m the only one, but I have no clue what that is. Can y’all enlighten me on the subject? I know Hubbell is a world renowned collector of shark fossils, and I assume he first found or recognized these type of Megalodon teeth? Pictures, explainations, literature are all welcome and encouraged.

Hi, I found this tooth in Florida Miocene Polk county. There are serration impressions on it but I don’t know you can see them from the pics.

How to tell between angustiden and megs?
FossilizedJello posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Its still very hard to me to tell between the two when discussing the 1.5-3" range. I know angustidens have cusp but not all of them necessarily do. I know angustidens are also more triangle shaped but really that is not given as megs can also have that depending on tooth location. I attached a picture of some mixed ones and I still dont know which are which. My guesses would be the yellow top one, the black one right next to it, and the bottom left black tooth. The rest are megs? Open to discussion

Found this gem on a Friday at a job site. Very few flaws; made my day.

Recently found this and has to be my favorite Meg find so far; heck it's my profile picture. It's pretty much flawless. It has all the serrations, nice enamel and the striped colors are beautiful. Definitely a unique tooth.

I remember seeing my very first Megalodon tooth at a fossil show in Dallas that my father took me when I was 6 years old. From that day, I have always wanted to find my own Meg. I Live in TX, so it took a while to get the opportunity. Well it finally happened some 41 years later! I had a day on the East coast recently where I went out with a good friend for a couple hours to try my luck. It was below freezing that day, raining, it was dark and I was sifting in knee deep water using a headlamp. I did not see it in the shovelful of mud when I dropped it into the sifter, but that first shake in the water revealed the serrated edge of what I knew to be a Meg. I don't think my friend heard me holler for joy over the wind and waves, but it was definitely loud!! It is surely not the most impressive tooth ever, but it is my first Meg, and it will always hold a special place in my collection.

9This is my shark tooth collection. Thought it would be cool to share here. My collection is a very small one, and is nothing compared to what some people have, but I am quite proud of it. (Image is in reply below)

Hi everyone, I have here 4 partial tooth fragments. They were found in Charleston, South Carolina. I believe the first one is C. Angustiden, while the rest are Megalodon. Could anybody kindly confirm?

Hi guys I recently purchased this Megalodon tooth and I'm pretty sure it's real but I wanna know what you guys think.

My dad was digging up a rib bone, then I spotted a speck of black next to it, and we found this killer! It's about the same size as my first one, 3.5". And check out the size of this second rib bone (the pic with the spade blade) what could this be from???

Appreciate it guys, I have a feeling its a chub?

Sharing my quest to find 1...just 1 decent Meg. I found a spot in the peace river, lots of gravel and so peaceful area. Even finding anything still makes for great day. So my very first shovel I pull out that Mako in the first picture! Wow so excited I was! Broken up root but that is OK, its so cool. So I come back to this spot and search...and search about a dozen times usually 3-4 hours each time. The first picture is all the Mako/Meg teeth pieces I found during all these trips. Now, like I said, the peaceful time I spend, eating, relaxing watching the fish jump, occasional alligator staring at me makes it all worth while. But, frustration sets in..Why I can not just fine 1 nice Meg? Even a small one that is not all broken would be nice! Well yesterday I had this amazing idea, "Hey I know, I will move down a few hundred feet try there!" The second picture is the result of about 2 hours digging!! The Mako (the bigger of the 2 is 2.25 inches for reference) 5 almost perfect shark teeth for my collection! Megs are under 2" but I do not care they are sweet! Hmm..wonder whats down a little further? Moral of the story, Keep digging, enjoy yourself and the thrill of the hunt. You never know what today may bring!

Juvenile meg tooth and some other fossils! - North Florida
FossilChick1996 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hey all, It's been a while! I stopped posting on the forum for a bit, but the fossil hunting never ceased! Here are a few photos of some of the fossils we've found over the past few months (all found at the same location). Our biggest prize was obviously the juvenile meg (Photos #1 and #2). We're still holding out on this spot for a huge, adult meg...but until then, we've kept ourselves busy finding plenty of bull shark teeth - with amazing coloration (Photo #3)...who knew I could love yellow teeth this much?! In general, the fossils we find at this location have the most remarkable coloration; almost all of the dugong bones we find (and that's A LOT) have a deep red tint to them. In fact, this tiger shark tooth we found has hints of that same red color (Photo #4). What's interesting is that, on one side of the river, the teeth we find are tinted red, but on the other side they are either blue or yellow (small blue lemon shark tooth pictured in Photo #5). And can I just mention how many, and how amazing, the fossilized gar scales we find here are (Photo #6)? It's incredible! Happy hunting! -AG -
Hi was wondering if this was a meg.

From the album: Misc. Cenozoic Specimens
An early O. angustidens. -
Hello! What kind of tooth is this? We can't decide whether it may be a baby megalodon or a bull shark tooth. I found it in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Thanks!
