Sharks of SC Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 So...Im not sure if this counts, but I was hoping someone would ID this as a thresher for me. It was found in some limestone gravel, which is usually Eocene in age from Harleyville, SC. CBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelhead9 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Great Teeth, Great Location. How long did it take you to find these?Thanks for posting,G Vineyard teeth are few and far between. I collected there for over 20 years before the sites were deeded to the Wampanoag Indians by the government and subsequently closed to collecting. I am going to post some photos of my best teeth on this forum in the next few days. Still Life Fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great teeth, but a rare site. Hey Steelhead, Nice teeth! I was on the Vineyard this Summer for a few days with a buddy (East Chop). As far as the teeth go, I don't think any of them are threshers. The top three appear to be mako. The second, third and last teeth on the bottom row are contortus tigers. The first on the bottom row may be a Parotodus benedeni (experts?). Other than that Im not sure. Super cool teeth from a super cool locality - thanks for sharing them with us!!! Happy hunting!!
