Hello! I’m new to the fossil forum, and fairly new to hunting/collecting although fossils have always fascinated me. I caught the bug for hunting when I vacationed for the first time at Folly Beach two years ago. A lesson on the beach with the delightful and knowledgeable Ashby, plus a fortuitous trip to Morris Island, sealed the deal and I have been increasingly obsessed ever since. My collection currently includes the following (99% as-yet-unidentified): one week’s worth of specimens from Folly Beach summer of 2022, one week’s worth of specimens from Folly Beach summer of 2023, a medium-sized estate collection acquired locally and all marked as coming from Edisto dating from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, a collection of approximately 300 small shark teeth of unknown origin acquired locally at a thrift store, and several fossils of aquatic specimens found in Lexington KY where I live (found on a creek bed site on my brother’s farmland, as well as in limestone-quarry rock piles). My family will be spending one week this summer vacationing at Edisto, and I look forward to the opportunity to find even more land mammal fossils than I have at this time. I have largely focused on shark teeth on my two hunting trips, and will be excited to hone my skills pinpointing other types of shapes, textures and colors on the beach. I plan to use this space to start showcasing my collection and getting help with identification. This area is very new to me, so I am eager to learn from all the experts here on the Fossil Forum!

Hi! I found this fossil on Folly Beach, SC on 7/31. I’m new to searching for fossils other than shark teeth but I’m thinking this is some kind of stingray tooth. Would love to know who this fossil came from! Thanks!!!

This past weekend I was at Folly Beach SC (near Charleston). I posted a picture of my finds earlier but added a few more specimens. I'm hoping to get some assistance identifying what shark species these teeth belonged to. The smaller ones are a mix but I'm most interested in the teeth within the white boxes. I'm pretty sure that the Sand Tiger teeth are indeed that. The top 2 Tiger Shark teeth are pretty obvious. Is the bottom tooth a Tiger Shark or perhaps a Thresher Shark? What I'm most unsure of are the Great White teeth. I'm confident that the top 2 are indeed Great White teeth. What about the 4 bottom ones? As a size reference the largest Tiger Shark tooth is 27mm across and 20mm in height.
