Hi Clair, thank you for sharing your finds! I can help ID some of these. 1-4) these all appear to be Mako shark teeth, genus Isurus (except possibly #4); 5-6) megatooth shark anterior teeth, genus Carcharocles; 7-10) extinct white shark, Carcharodon hastalis (except #8); 11-14) megatooth shark lateral teeth, genus Carcharocles. 15-24) requiem…[Read more]

Where did you find it? Sometimes location can help narrow down what it might be!
-
@sadie-mills thanks for that! I updated the location, found in Charleston, SC.
-
On a river bank
-
@lcone do you have any thoughts on what this tooth from SC might be?
-
@sadie-mills just an update- it was identified by two other sources as a as-yet-undescribed dolphin species from the eurhinodelphinid group, oligocene era! Apparently the holotype is here in Charleston
-
Hi, @clair-m – it does look like a dolphin tooth! @lcone is certainly the toothy expert of the area and may have more info for you. Would you want to update your classification fields to refelct this? Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia, Order Artiodactyla. I’m not sure if we can go further if it’s an undescribed creature!
-
@jbauer sure!

I don’t…. I don’t really know what that means 😬

Hi, @Clair-M! I’m gonna tag in some of our vertebrate experts, @Smoran, @Jeanette-Pirlo, and @VPerez.
-
I’m struggling to determine if this is a rock or a fossil. If it is a fossil, my guess would be a large fish vertebra, but I’m really not confident about this one.
-
Looks like a large vertebra to me but I too can’t get a good ID on species

Cool shark vertebra, @Clair-M. Macrostrat: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=1.5/x=16/y=23/bedrock/lines/ should be useful for narrowing down its geological age. Can we ID this, @Bill-Heim?
-
All the identifying features of shark vertebra are on the sides and then only occasionally can you get it down to genus or below level
