Hello everyone, Charleston fossil hunter here. Well primarily shark teeth. I just recently got back into hunting now that I have the time. Have only been to a few creeks in Summerville to sift, an outcrop on the Chandler Bridge Creek and one land site in Harleyville that included the Hawthorne formation. Love watching @blackriverfossils as well. My goal is to find a 4-5'' Megalodon tooth! If anyone can suggest or wants to trade location spots, or other good public spots--let me know! Happy hunting. P.S. Here's a pic of a tooth I found in the Chandler Bridge the other week (if anyone can exactly ID it for me as well, that would be great).

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?

I have here a tooth from Charleston, SC, a river find. I've narrowed it down to a white shark, and based on this guide I'm torn between Carcharodon Plicatilis and Carcharodon Carcharias. I'm leaning towards the former. Could anyone please provide confirmation?

Hi everyone, I have here fossils found off a river bank near Charleston, South Carolina. I believe I know what some of these are, but would like some confirmation. For many of them, I have pretty much no idea. I'd appreciate any help! 1) Carcharocles Angustiden? 2) Megalodon fragment possibly 3 3) Front/back of the same tooth fragment 4) Front/back of the same tooth fragment. Megalodon possibly? 5) Front/back. Might it be a whale bone? 6) Front/back. I think many of the ones following are whale or dolphin bones. 7) Front/back 8) Front/back 9) Front/back 10) These looked similar to me, maybe fish tail bones? 11) Front/back 12) Front/back 13) Front/back 14) Front/back

Obviously with everything going on in the world I would not be going out to go on excursions, but once everything is over I would like to try and find some teeth in my spare time. I live in Irmo and was wondering if anyone knows of any nearby locations that are good for fossils. Places not nearby would be fine as well, for I am up for a little bit of a drive.

Found this a few months ago in a river in the Low-country of South Carolina. Tried to identify it myself but could not come up with anything. Curious as to what species you guys think it is.

Went on my first excursion in a river a few months ago. Thought I would share the picture I took back then of what I got. Sorry for the messy quality of the pic. If I ever have the spare time I will take a more updated photo.- 3 replies

I went out on a excursion a few months ago and I dug up this fossil. It looks like maybe it has two shark teeth within it, but it could also be a mammal tooth. I found this in the Low Country of South Carolina. Any help would be appreciated! Pictures below!

Hello my name is Cole and I am 17. Since I was around 12 I have had a avid passion for fossils and all things paleontology! Since I am going to be heading off to college in a year or so (Hopefully getting a career in Paleontology) I thought it was about time I joined a fossil community! Can't wait to meet you all!
