    Hi Cameron, it appears to be a sand tiger shark. Most likely from the genus Carcharias but the localities you mentioned produce fossils from a wide range of geologic ages, so it may belong to another genus.

    Hi Marina, you are certainly welcome to share fossils you bought, as long as you are confident that the information is accurate. Would you mind if we translate the lithostratigraphy into English text? This will make it easier for the community to find your specimen in the database. Also, I wanted to confirm, are the two photos of the same specimen…[Read more]

    @mackenzie-smith any chance you could help us narrow down the ID on this one?

    Hello,

    This appears to be a rock rather than a fossil.

    Unfortunately, I believe this is stone rather than bone.

    Hello,

    Thank you for sharing! Unfortunately, it will be difficult to verify this is a fossil without some more information and photos. Since it is a landscape boulder, it will likely be very hard or impossible to determine where the rock originated from. Knowing where it came from would be extremely important for determining the age and what…[Read more]

    Hi Pete, I think you are correct. The tooth appears to be from the marine crocodile, Thecachampsa. The fossils at Holden Beach come from multiple stratigraphic layers, so it is difficult to narrow down the age of your tooth and the specific identity.

    You may also want to compare your tooth with mosasaur teeth, which can also be found at Holden.…[Read more]

    It looks like a worn down oyster shell.

      We are in West Virginia a long way from the ocean but we have found a shell in the creek, since you mentioned it it does sort of faver that shell even has a dark spot on it. Thank you.

    The image is too blurry to tell what it is, but it does not appear to be teeth.

    This appears to be an ironstone concretion.

    Hi Sammy,

    We’ll need more photos to confirm an ID, but it doesn’t look like a bone to me.
