Possible Basilosaurid Incisor Tooth From South Carolina River
FossilRobert posted a topic in Fossil ID
I got this tooth from a megalodon tooth collector from South Carolina. They said they collected it from Cooper River alongside megalodon teeth, but weren't certain as to what it came from. To me it looks like an incisor tooth from a basilosaurid, but I haven't seen anything quite like this from South Carolina. It is just over 2-3/5" long and has carinae without serrations (denticles). I could see crocodilian as a possibility as well, but wanted to get some insight from others.- 4 replies

It feels very light. I haven't had the chance to weigh it yet. I have also not tested yet if it has any magnetic properties.

My husband found this nearly perfect spherical fossil on a beach in South Carolina. We think it looks like an acorn, but perhaps it is some sea creature. Any ideas? Thanks for your help

So I found this and it looks like a dolphin tooth, but it's my first time finding one so I was just looking for some confirmation and/or any more information that could be provided. This was found at the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC. In the past I've found a horse tooth, deer tooth, alligator tooth and am glad to be able to add another (non-shark) tooth to my collection of finds!

I haven't found enough jaw fragments to be confident IDing them yet. I found this in Summerville, SC in a creek with mostly Oligocene but some Miocene as well. I have two other odontocete jaw fragments from this creek, but both had the double rooted alveoli, so I knew they were odontocete. Is this one also odontocete? Fragment is 45 mm long, 24 mm tall, and 16 mm thick. One tooth's root is visible. Thanks so much!

Despite not really feeling up to hunting yesterday (I'm getting discouraged by my finds lately), I decided to go while the weather was still decent. And when you are not expecting to find much and/or set the bar pretty low, it makes it easy to exceed your expectations and have a pretty good trip. Here is what I brought home: First up are the odontocete fossils: My first ear bone ever: And a vert and related piece of bone that were sitting together under an uprooted tree: That's it for cetaceans, but that is pretty good for one trip for me. Other verts (not in good shape, though): Burrfish mouth plates (also not good condition): Ray mouth plate pieces and my biggest tail barb so far: Random osteoderms and bone pieces (I keep less than half of the bones I find): Various steinkerns, which I try to limit now as well, but the spiraling ones are cool: Gator tooth that was still partially in matrix: Fish jaw with teeth (maybe...let me know if you recognize it): Crab claw, I think: What I believe is my first piece of petrified wood here (again, feel free to correct me): And, of course, shark teeth: My best Great White so far: My first Angel shark tooth (shoulder and tip of crown are broken): A cool looking tooth - posterior sand tiger I believe: And the rest of the teeth (including a couple broken threshers, a barracuda, a sawfish/sawskate, etc.), which I won't show individually: As always, I wish my body could have handled a few more hours of hunting, but between little rain (no new wash-out), low creek water levels, rising heat, and health limitations, I think it turned out to be a pretty good haul. And no speeding ticket this trip! Thanks for reading!

Hey y'all! I did a little hunting on Morris Island, SC this afternoon and came across this interesting fossil. At least thats what I assume it is until someone with more knowledge tells me otherwise It is 3" long and 2.5" in diameter. Thanks for having a look!

Hello all! glad to be a part of this community. I am very new to this and at my age that's really something. Too old to have new hobbies. I will ask a question in another forum and hope i put it in the right place. JR

My son found what I think is an oddly shaped Megalodon tooth (grey tooth) on the beach in South Carolina near Charleston. The tooth seems small, blunt, and rounded. It's very thick, but only about 7cm long. Aside from the big chip at the tip, the enamel on the outer edges is intact but wavy, so the deformation isn't from breakage or wear in the ocean. I included another tooth I found on a beach in NC (Topsail Island) for comparison (I don't know the species of that one either -- maybe another meg?). The back of the enamel on the meg tooth is split and there's a weird, circular nub the top where the enamel ends which looks like a growth. It's definitely part of the tooth and about 2-3mm above the enamel. The split in the enamel on the back is also raised and you can feel a noticeable ridge all the way down the back of the tooth. I provided a close up of it. Can anyone tell me: 1. Is this a meg tooth? 2. What might be wrong with it? Why is it so short and what might that split and nub on the back be? 3. What's the species of the normal-looking black tooth used for comparison? Thanks
