FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

From this angle I think that is a Shark tooth
Hi Tom, does it look fossilised as sharks teeth a normally white, we do get a lot on our coast. But I’ve never seen one this colour and it is as hard as stone . Thanks Joanne
Looks like a cayenne tooth or a shark tooth. Good eye either way!
Maybe that’s a Talon from a hawk or another bird of prey.
Cool thanks , Chris. So interesting.
@joanne-banks this is the crown from Otodus obliquus, a type of shark ancestral to C. megalodon (the largest shark to ever live).
Wow, Mason, that is phenomenal. I am totally blown away when finding these fossils. Just from the shore line of my local beach in England. Our coast formed part of Doggerland. A few years ago a mammoth tooth was found. Thank you so much . Regards,Joanne
