I recently purchased some more Moroccan fossils, including several shark teeth...I tried IDing them on my own, here are my guesses (scale is in inches; 1 inch = 2.5 cm), am I close? I don’t have much experience IDing Eocene teeth, so I’m not sure. Thanks!!! 1. Otodus obliquus 2. Cretolamna appendiculata 3. Cretolamna aschersoni 4. Striatolamia macrota 5. Jaekelotodus spp. 6. Brachycarcharias atlasi 7. Tooth I have no idea on (had cusps but they broke off) 8. Jaw bone section I have no idea on 9. Fossil I have no idea on

How Scarce are Fossilized Great White Shark Teeth
Jurassic_Joe posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hello everyone! So something that I have been wondering recently is what is the prevalence of fossilized great white shark teeth? Any time I go online, into shops or shows there seems to be a lack of fossilized great white shark teeth. I always see megalodon teeth, mako teeth, and other fossilized teeth from all kinds of species of sharks but rarely do I see fossilized great white shark teeth. Is this because they aren't as common? Or are they just not as high of a demand as other teeth such as megs or makos? From what I understand they can be found in the Carolinas, Chile, and even here sometimes in south Florida in creeks and sometimes in Bone Valley. I own a few of my own but they weren't easy to find. Please let me know your thoughts. If you own some yourself please feel free to share! I would love to see them! -

Took a day trip down to Casey Key, FL near Venice Beach. Found lots of small shark and ray teeth and some really nice shells.

Trip to Florida last week was quick and exhausting. Wimped out on the planned Peace river trip, as was in 30s unexpectedly and I had not brought appropriate clothes. Instead did nearby Bone ValleybFossil Farm and enjoyed the day sitting in a lawn chair with a hose, washing out material (laziest AND muddiest fossilhunting ever). Couple next to me found 2 megs, I found three partial megs, dolphin tooth, partial whale tooth (?), fish plate, and about 20 other partial and complete shark teeth (bull, lemon, hemi). Found small piece (2?) of mastodon/mammoth/gomphothere tooth, pretty color and thick, but not enough material to distinguish. And a partial bison(?) In addition found several larger coral pieces in mixed rock/gravel/debris along road near Ft Myers. (weather damaged, construction damage, but good for my collection)! One small mystery piece there, too.

Hey guys! I headed out in Venice, Florida this weekend for the first time ever and went scuba diving for shark teeth. This was my first real trip looking for shark teeth and it was an amazing time. I went for a 3 dive trip but due to weather we only got two of the three dives for the day unfortunately. Although it was cut kinda short I had an amazing trip. I found 7 full Megalodon teeth and 14 frags of Megalodon teeth. My biggest being exactly 4" which I am still ecstatic for finding. I found a handful of other miscellaneous shark teeth and honestly I could of found hundreds and hundreds but I was really focused on finding the megs so I started passing them up as it was kinda hard to pick them up with the gloves I had on. Also pictured I have 3 pieces of Dugong bone and two pieces of whale bone. These bones where everywhere and I just didn't feel like collecting a hundred pounds of Dugong and whale bone. Also with the bones are a few assorted shells that I picked up while I was finding the teeth. If you have any cool facts about what I found of any identification for the miscellaneous shark teeth and the shells I found that would be amazing! I know the Sand Tiger teeth and the normal Tiger Shark teeth but I'm not sure what any of the other ones are. I think top right is a broken Hemi but I'm not positive. Let me know if you have any questions as I would be happy to answer! Parker

I’m heading to The Netherlands at the end of March. Does anyone have current information on the best sites to collect shark teeth or other fossils? Thanks!

Before going back to the ESCONI Gem and Fossil Show, I decided to leave the house early and make the 75 minute trip to Oglesby, Illinois to a roadcut that I like to collect and was last there 19 days ago. This roadcut, exposes the Pennsylvanian LaSalle Member of the Bond Formation. Within those 19 days, portions of the head wall came down, dropping several thousands of pounds of rock. As I have stated in previous posts, this is not a road cut for younger collectors and people who are not sure-footed. Here are a few pics of the exposure as I found it this morning. This tree branch….. broke off of this tree after being hit but a lot of rock. The rock that I am holding broke off of the larger piece in the background during the fall. The large boulder in the left of the picture that has my Estwing stick on top fell all of the way down to the base of the cut. I am guessing that it is a distance of about 50+ feet. Here are a couple pictures of some of my finds. Three different species of brachiopods in this freshly freed piece. Here is my first Conularida and it is next to an inarticulate brachiopod. I will post a better pic at the end of the post.

An interesting article on the morphometrics of C. megalodon teeth from Italy Fossil teeth of Carcharocles megalodon: The Collection of the University Museum of Chieti (Italy).

Hi guys I’m from NSW Australia and have been finding teeth for the last couple years and just wondering if someone can help identify a tooth and two vertebrae. Thanks!

Wanted to share one of my first trips to a new location I went to last year. I was only checking the area for fossil evidence and was blown away at what I found. I was there for 2.5 hrs and could not believe what I left with. Completely surprised and could not be happier. This place has stayed on my mind ever since. lol. <·,^ ><

I have here two shark teeth from the Cretaceous of Texas that I'm hoping to ID. #1: Dwardius ?woodwardi? The first tooth below is from Dallas, TX, from a buffer zone between the Eagle Ford and Woodbine formations (i.e., late Cretaceous, ~90-96 mya). I previously posted this tooth in the mailbox score thread and the @ThePhysicist tentatively IDed it as Dwardius (woodwardi?) but recommended posting it in the ID forum. I'm finally getting around to doing that! This tooth measures 25 mm on the slant. #2: Cretoxyrhina ?mantelli? I don't have as much info on the next tooth below. I acquired it last year from the estate of a Dallas, TX, fossil collector. I don't have any other details, but it was most likely collected from a site in North Texas. I've tentatively IDed this as Cretoxyrhina mantelli teeth; if that's the correct ID, it would be the first one in my collection with cusplets. This tooth measures 29 mm on the slant. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Sometime last week I went to a creek in Southeast Alabama to find shark teeth. I got thirty nine teeth and what I believe is a partial glyptodon scute. I believe that the majority are sandtiger teeth (but from YouTube and online images could be goblin) and a few mackerel shark teeth. I also got my first tiger shark tooth from this site. I was hoping someone here could help identify the scute and supposed sandtiger teeth.
