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.

Hi, @bradley-meyers – you can use Macrostrat to get a better idea of the age of the rock: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=10.6/x=-82.3217/y=29.7107/bedrock/lines/ just find the locality you were at and click!
Do you have an image of the other side of the specimen you could upload?
Talk to you soon, Jen
Galeocerdo is a tiger shark which have very distinctive teeth. This is not a tiger shark but instead a lower Carcharhinus species. From the lower teeth (which this is), it is usually (there are a few exceptions) to narrow down the exact species. Due to the wide root, it is possibly (possibly) a Sandbar Shark tooth (Carcharhinus plumbeus).
