Hi everyone, I have here three shark teeth that were given to me by a friend from Florida. That's where they were found, but I have no locations more specific than that. I'm pretty sure the second and third are Megalodon, but believe the first one is Carcharodon Carcharias. I would appreciate confirmation. 1 - Front 1 - Rear 2 - Front 2 - Rear 3 - Front 3 - Rear

Location: Missouri Geological map states that the area is Pennsylvanian Found in a rock pile left by construction workers that blasted out the rock. I have found a few teeth in the area such as Petlodus, Orodus, and a few others. Previously posted on r/FossilID they gave some good insight, but I am curious to what other enthusiast think. I know its some sort of Holocephalan but I was told it could be something from Eugeneodontida I have also found another fossil near it, but i did not want to assume they were from the same shark, or if it was from a wild more modern animal Size reference, with right side having flash on while the left does not.

Hi everyone, last Friday I went on a fossil hunting trip in S.C. with palmetto fossil excursions, there was a short hike out to the site, it was a beautiful day with an average temp of 85 degrees!!! when we were walking up to the creek area where we were hunting and we found half of what would have been a beautiful 3 1/2 inch meg tooth!!!! less than 15 minutes after that my brother found a massive blade of a mako, less then 10 feet away from the blade of the mako I found a nearly flawless posterior and several other angustidens including one with insane colors, a worn whale vert, an awesome hemi with beautiful colors, and 3 fused shark verts!!! after a short lunch break, me and my brother went to a different spot where I found 2 1 1/2 inch Isurus desori teeth and my brother found a angustiden in matrix, a hastalis and the best desori tooth from the trip all within 7 feet of each other!!!! while our dad was doing the dig tour, he found 2 megs the larger one is a little below the five inch mark, and the shorter one is around 3 1/2 inches!!! overall it was an awesome day!!!!! I’ll post pictures of the best finds alone soon. and there was only one water moccasin spotted!!!

Location: Missouri Local geological map dictates that the area is Pennsylvanian Found in a rock pile left by construction workers that blasted out the rock. I posted a few of these teeth onto r/FossilID but I have not gotten any good responses to the ones below! So I made an account to show my as of right now unidentified specimen! I have found a few shark teeth in the area, such as Petalodus , and a few teeth that look to be from Eugeneodontida. These are by far my smallest shark teeth, and I was very fortunate to find any!

Found both of these teeth today while out on the Chesapeake Bay. Would’ve come from the Calvert formation. I’m believe the second tooth is a chunk of a small megalodon based on the serrations and root of it, first tooth I am not sure on. Both teeth are approximately 2 1/3 cm. Thank you!

Please help identify this partial tooth found at Cherry Grove Beach in North Myrtle Beach, SC. This was originally passed off as a Squalicorax, but after further review, it seems heavier and the part of the root that is complete seems different. Teeth may be posterior. Thoughts?

Hello Everyone! I am new to this whole fossil identification ordeal. I was wondering if I could respectfully utilize this communities' expertise to decipher what species of shark teeth I have from the attached picture? I collected these shark teeth during multiple low tides over a stretch of 100 yards in a remote beach in Southern Spain. If I am not mistaken, from my novice research, it looks like I have some broken Megalodon and Carcharadon Hastalis teeth? Is there any other species that y'all can identify from the picture? Any insight is greatly appreciated, thank you all in advance! I have an off centered U.S. quarter placed in the picture as a size reference.

Show Us Your Wide Boys! A Thread For The Widest And Fattest Megalodon Teeth
Kurufossils posted a topic in Member Collections
Heres a fun thread for those to show off their widest and fattest looking megalodon teeth fossils in thier collections. I'll set the tone with the widest fat boy in my collection, I don't have digital calipers but it measure roughly 5.4 inches wide by 6.1 inches long. When I close my hand together it looks even more monstrous. Share yours and join the wide boyclub Got the idea while thinking about what the widest megalodon tooth ever found measures, if anyone does know do share in this thread! -
Hi all, about two months ago I asked about ramenessin or big brook being better. Here are my finds from about six two hour hunts at ramenessin brook, and searching gravel I took home, it’s more fun searching there but bringing some home and searching through it is better than not looking at all. The best finds are a couple of 1-1.5 inch shark teeth, a small croc tooth, a rat fish jaw, a small shark vert, a very water worn sawfish tooth, a burrow with invert fecal pellets, two ammonite fragments, shell casts, a small shark tooth I believe is a nice angel shark tooth, a drum fish tooth, an Enchodus tooth with jaw attached, and some shark teeth with really nice colors! If anyone could confirm the angel shark tooth is really an angel shark tooth @The Jersey Devil @Trevor @hokietech96 @frankh8147 @Darktoothit would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I recently found these set of fossils in Big Brook (river) in New Jersey. I would like to get them identified as I am not skilled enough in the field to identify them myself. The fossils were found in a shallow river bed in gravel areas. There are shells, a shark tooth, and other items. I would love to gain some knowledge on the topic. Thank you

Hi everyone, In the spirit of scratching my itch to hunt, I imported some matrix from Central Florida. It was around one quart. I'll share my findings, though I haven't identified too many yet. If anyone has any suggestions or corrections, I'd appreciate it! These are the highlights. Megalodon fragment; and the next two are possibly from the same lineage but I'm not sure. Maybe a prehistoric crocodile or alligator tooth My best guess would be a crocodile or alligator femur Not a clue Again, not sure other than wagering at a deer tooth Manatee molar I want to say these are fragments of mammoth or mastadon tusks, but confirmation would be great Miscellaneous stuff, most of which I'm pretty sure are fossils but it's hard to ID any.

I found a rock on Stump Pass Beach in Englewood, FL. This said rock looks alot like a shark tooth. I had found several of the normal looking black teeth and I almost just cast this one aside, but it really resembles a shark tooth so I kept it. I just want to see if I can get verification if what I found is a really old fossilized tooth. Or not.

Hi. For Father's Day my kids got me an electic microscope. I have been picking through Lee Creek matrix that I purchased to get me through quarantine. I am really not familiar with smaller teeth so it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can confirm my ID. Enjoy the pics. For all the Dad's, I hope you had a great Father's day! This tooth is 2-3mm. I thought it was small tooth sand tiger but the root seems rather large. I have been all through Elasmo.com and I cannot find a match. The next 2 teeth cusps and the blade remind me of a mackerel but the root does not match a mackerel so I am kind of at a loss.

Paleo Society of Austin had our first field trip since February. Spent four hours and found a smattering of good specimens. I already have a good variety from there so at this point I am looking for the odd species that has eluded me or better ones of what I already have. Found a few of each. One odd bit was this weird tooth crown I found on a tiny little spit of gravel. Photos are not great but maybe someone has a SWAG, or better, for me.

Hi guys! I’m new to this, but my wife and I have been shark tooth hunting for the past month thanks to “quarantine”. We have found some interesting things, but can’t seem to pin point what they are exactly. We believe some may be megalodon teeth, great white teeth, and a dugong bone. All were found at Onslow beach,NC. We appreciate your guys help!
