Me and my good friends take a weekly sojourn on the peace, away from crowds. Last weekend I made the mistake of letting my buddy dig my hole with me, first shovel full, sitting right on top was a big fat chub tooth. Never the less, it was paid forward to me. 1) Posterior Meg's 2) Typical Peace river Fragladons 3) Lone Sand Tiger 4) Pathological Bull 5) Random Reptilian vertebrae 6) Chunky lemons and Bulls 7) Honker of a horse tooth 8) Fat tigers 9) Upper and lower Snaggletooth

So this one has me stumped. This was found on a southern California beach last week while walking with my family. Now I normally would have passed this one up however there were just too many factors telling me it's something more than just a rock. First and foremost (which has proven hard to show in a photo) the top, root area is very fibrous looking. I've put it side by side with a megalodon tooth just to show what eye is comparing it to. I know there aren't typically dino fossils found in this area however I did also find a 3.5" fossil shark tooth on the Sacramento river soooooo I'm not ruling anything out. Any thoughts or opinions would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks all

Ok so I'm a little late on this post. This summer I took a trip up to south Carolina and got some pretty nice finds.First of all I got my largest angustiden, which was a miracle that the pieces were still close together, I found it In a creek surface hunting and found both pieces, which seems nearly impossible.Along with this I got my largest desiri mako.I also got this strange tooth which at first I thought was a sand tiger but 1. I don't find many of those in creeks 2. The root seems pretty flat, not the general V-shape normally found in sand tigers. 3. the blade seems wider than it should be. Can I have your opinions on this one, you would know better than me, thanks!

Hi, my daughter is into gems, fossils crystal. So we have been getting into it too. A few years ago in Canada we came across an antique shop where we bought a Megladon tooth as the owner was a prospector by trade and said he had found it in North Carolina. No certification but looks cool. It is small weighs about 3.3 oz. I was wondering if anyone can tell if it is real or a fake? Thanks for your help!

Hello! I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I've been collecting fossils since I was very young--being fairly close to the Peace River in Florida in my youth sure contributed to this! I would like to learn more about the fossils I have and also ones that I acquired from a family member a few years ago. I started showing my collection to my kids and I figured I'd better know what I am showing them.

Found this lastnight and call me a rookie but I can't identify if she's a GW or a Meg tooth for the life of me! Beautiful 1.75in almost mother of pearl color with lighting bolt markings (common for the area I explore). No serrations and the root is higher up on the tooth which makes me think GW right!? But then it looks as if the root which typically dips lower on Meg teeth is missing but at some point in time was there! I don't know and when I Google Lens her it says she's an arrowhead??? Plz end my inner mystery...help lol! Jeez I love this stuff 20210805_071105.heic 20210805_071114.heic 20210805_070950.heic 20210805_070943.heic

Found this roadside while taking dogs for a walk. Its a long dirt road going north to south and ends at Hidden Valley Ranch, Luna County New Mexico. It is likely nothing but I found it worthy of asking.

Hi! I was introduced to shark tooth hunting on the beach about 15 years ago by my MIL. It has become my favorite past time while at the beach. We recently purchased a home in Georgetown, SC, and I have heard there are great spots to hunt in Summerville, SC and surrounding areas of Charleston. How do i get started with where to go? I have never searched in creeks or riverbeds, but I would love to spend a day searching. Any maps or advice for me on where to start or go? Thanks!

My son and I were taking advantage of the north westerly winds blowing the water out of the Neuse River and exposing more shoreline. My 7 year old found the lighter colored tooth and I found the darker (black) teeth all within 18” of each other along with the other fossilized bones. May 8th, 2020. I just signed up for this forum and would like to send more photos of the other bones.

Hello, my name is Mike. I have always loved our earths history and finally found myself with some time to start fossil hunting. With my job, school and family , it’s been tough but I’m so glad I got into the hunting. I’m always hiking around the state, scouting places and just getting outside. I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you in the near future.

Is this megladon tooth real?
NewbyCollector posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, I found this stunning piece online and am very keen to get it as my first real quality piece. My only concern is that is the quality too good to be true? I really do hope it's all it's said to be though! Seller reported no restoration or repairs done. Appreciate any thoughts on this! Thanks in advance! Cheers! -
I am new to collecting meg teeth so I hope my question is not “dumb.” Are the tooth cusps on a C. chubutensis vestigial structures from the earlier three pronged tooth like on O. obliquus? I read a physics article about how the megs tooth serration evolves from the smaller prong teeth getting sharks caught on larger prey causing them damage. Did the improved serration as the sharks evolved to be larger lead adult C. megladon adults not having cusps at all? I hope the question makes sense.
