I have been working on sorting teeth I've collected from the Chandler Bridge Formation (Oligocene, ~28 MYA) from one site by species. I've not put adequate time into learning how to differentiate the smaller teeth such as these, and am working on filling those gaps in my knowledge. Here I have isolated 6 "distinct" types of teeth that I am attempting to put a name on. Apologies on the photo quality, I was in a bit of a rush, hopefully there is enough detail to understand the general characteristics I am attempting to distinguish between. 1. Wide root, flat and, typically, curved to one side. Is serrated from where the enamel meets the root all the way down onto the blade. 2. Wide thin root, thin straight blade, serrations. 3. Almost identical in shape to number 2, except straight blade with no serrations. 4. Larger teeth in general compared to the others, curved and straight blade with nos errations, has enamel "wrinkles" similar to serrations near the root only. 5. Very stubby root (horizontally compressed and somewhat more bulbous than the other teeth). Long, straight blade with no serrations. 6. Smaller in general than the other teeth. Serrations along root, but not on the blade. Blade is slightly curved. These are my proposed identification of the teeth: 1. Reef/Requiem shark upper teeth of some kind 2. Unknown 3. Lemon shark lower lateral teeth 4. Lemon Shark upper teeth 5. Lemon shark lower central teeth 6. Requiem shark lower teeth

I know its small but I found this tooth a while back and had forgotten about it so while looking through my trips smaller teeth I found 3 Carcharoides totuserratus which i didn’t know were rare until watching one of blackriverfossils videos. So I was wondering what kind of tooth this is and if anything rare? The last photo is the Carcharoides totuserratus I was talking about.

Found embedded in mud beside roots of a tree on a nature trail above chandler river SC. This was after things had dried out after a tropical storm. Tooth has been repaired as (it was found to be broken when extracted from the mud). Because of the telltale mark between root and blade leads me to believe it to be either megalodon, angustiden or chubitensis. But the very flat root shape, very triangular shape, thin blade lead me to also suspect large great white.

Found ex-situ, so I have included both Oligocene formation possibilities (Chandler Bridge Formation and Ashley Formation). References: Cicimurri, D. J., & Knight, J. L. (2009).

I found this tiny tooth in a creek in Summerville South Carolina. Help with an id would be greatly appreciated. I’ve seen a couple other posts with a similar tooth where the consensus was undetermined species. Is this the case with this tooth as well? Thanks in advance!

Summerville South Carolina whale or dolphin atlas vertebra?
fossil_lover_2277 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I found this piece of bone in the Oligocene Chandler Bridge formation in an area just outside the town of Summerville South Carolina. Is this potentially one of the halves of a whale or large dolphin atlas vertebra?- 5 replies

Made my first fossil hunting trip to South Carolina, went to some areas around Summerville, thought I’d share pics of some of the fossils I collected! The best finds were some echovenator-like teeth, Angies, great whites, some intact sections of dugong ribs, and several associated pieces of a sea turtle shell. Felt like Indiana Jones exploring all the creeks trying to find productive spots haha. Fun trip, hope to return in the future!

Hello, my mom found this in a creek in Summerville. The formation present here is the Chandler Bridge and Ashley formations. I believe from the late oligocene. Does anyone know what it is?

I found this tooth today at my usual spot at in Summerville SC and I found this tooth amongst the sharks teeth that was very strange to me. The most similar thing online I’ve seen to it is squalodon due to the wrinkly enamel, accessory cusps, and two roots. However, they seem to be extremely rare or nonexistent in this region. I would love to hear any thoughts or opinions on the ID of this tooth. Thank you on advance!

I bought these fossils a few months ago form a small rock shop in southern Utah, they were found in an assorted basket of small fossils likely bought in bulk along with ray barbs, gar scales, shark teeth, puffer mouth plates, barracuda teeth and shark verts. the store owner did not know what they were nor the location they were found. my guess would be the Chandler bridge Formation but I'm not sure. Looking for I identification if anyone knows what these are?

I am new to this forum, but from what I have gathered the formations present in Summerville are the ones I have tagged. I have found several shark’s teeth in the bank of man made flood ditches in Summerville SC. I found these three teeth that just seemed different. I would be thrilled to learn more about these and potentially be able to ID them. If there’s any issues with the pictures, I’d be happy to put another one up to be more clear. Thanks in advance!
