Another day, another trip to GMR in Greenville, nc. I had went yesterday but the mosquitos were too much for me to handle. So I came back better prepared with bug spray today lol. I started the day digging some new areas before heading to my favorite spot once again. It’s hard to stay away from when it keeps putting out like it does haha. a few nice great whites and mako’s turned up along with the biggest hemi I’ve found yet. Also found a new to me tooth I think. I’m not quite sure if it’s a Meg or something else? Any help on the Id would be appreciated. It’s the one with the lighter in the pic

hey folks, i was sorting through my smaller teeth from sharktooth hill in bakersfield, CA and found this really weird tooth - it's 0.75 cm in slant length, and the most notable thing about it is a massive root shelf running across, causing there to be two almost protruding lumps at the edges of the shelf. The shelf is very prominent - there is almost a 1 mm drop between the shelf and the upper half of the root. here are three photos, and i added green lines to highlight the shelf: lingual labial lingual root focus i don't know if this is a pathological Cosmpolitodus hastalis tooth, or if it is something else. i looked on Elasmo's references and noticed that isurus retroflexus have obvious protruding shelves on upper lateral 7 and 8 teeth, meanwhile, Cosmopolitodus hastalis upper 7 does not seem to have the shelf, but C. hastalis lower lateral 7 having a slight bulge as well, but no shelf as the surface seems smooth, unlike the prominent drop as seen in my tooth. here are some screengrabs from Elasmo fyi: i would love to have second thoughts - could this be an isurus retroflexus, a really odd cosmpolitodus hastalis, or something else?

Hi Fossil collectors. I am not a fossil collector at least not yet. I did come across this what I believe to be megladon tooth or replica of one. Hoping someone in here is able to tell me if it could be real. it’s really white which makes me think it isn’t based on the research I’ve done. However the texture feels spot on. If it is a replica alot of effort was put in I appreciate any responses.

I’m not even sure if looking at these or posting these would help. Most teeth from Shark tooth ridge are broken so I feel ID is hopeless. But if anyone knows anything , id be forever thankful! A. I’m really curious what these thick ones are. They don’t scream Squalicorax sp. B. Doesn’t look like a shark C. Scapanorhynchus sp. D. I really love the color on these. E. Also is a cool color pattern F. Too broken? G. This is what most of the teeth look like. It’s so sad. but I would keep going back if I could

Recently just got back from a trip on Tybee Island! During this trip I went out looking for shark teeth several times a day, and even did a tour with Sundial Charters! Overall in 6 days I found over 150 shark teeth and countless other fossils! I'll be posting them on here! Here's the coolest tooth I found actually on Tybee, I believe it's a Great Hammerhead.

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.

I would like to hear opinions what would be smartest thing to do. I have couple pieces from Morocco Ouled Abdoun basin that have freepiece shark teeth in them. Problem is that other shark tooth is perfectly under the piece, other one visible at wrong side at the edge. I was thinking could I remove bottom one by using rock carving tool and perhaps scrape other one bit more visible? Or should I leave them be? What are the risks because I have no experience with prepping?
