I would like to know the approximate age of the fossilized Great White teeth pictured in my hand that I have found over the course of the last 9 months at Holden Beach North Carolina. (since August of 2022)

These were found in addition to many other fossilized teeth that I have captured in additional pictures found below. Thank You

I’m not sure which unit the Carcharodon carcharias are coming from at Holden Beach. The oldest C. carcharias from NC that I’m aware of come from the Rushmere member of the Yorktown Formation. The latest age data for this unit date from 3.3 to 3.2 mya. Your teeth can be this old or younger.

I can’t help you on the age, but that is a nice collection of teeth.  My daughter bought a place on oak island, so hoping to get out that way sometime after September.
