Guest N.AL.hunter Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Those are some beautiful teeth!! I think these might be the first time I have seen Harlyville teeth. That first one is really nice!! What sort of area is this site? A quarry, creek, beach...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of area is this site? A quarry, creek, beach...? At least in the past the Harleyville quarries (Harleyville area of South Carolina) were operated by the Giant Cement Company. I'm not sure if there has been any recent name change. These quarries mine limestone for use in the production of portland and masonry cements. Rock and gravel is also removed which is sized and sold as aggregate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Can anyone tell me why the first tooth has such a narrow blade to it? I am assuming it is a Ric. If it isn't, what is it? All my Rics and the others pictured are wide blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my Rics and the others pictured are wide blades. It is a ric tooth and I think its a young shark tooth from the lower jaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeloiVarden Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 It is a little ironic that I live a few miles away from Harleyville and have fewer Harleyville teeth than you who lives so far away. I wish these sites still allowed occasional fossil hunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilselachian Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Here are a few additional C. auriculatus teeth from the Harleyville, SC area mines. I believe most of these have been previously posted but that was some good time in the past. The largest tooth is 3.25" Edited March 12, 2011 by fossilselachian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
