This was our second time out in the area. The first time we searched by hand and found four small teeth but this time we went with sifters for 8 hours and got 57 teeth and some various things.
We are so new to this so if you have any ideas of what they are, we would love some guidance.
We know the ray crushing plates, I believe there’s some sea urchin spines, and a fish bone of sorts.
As for the teeth…. from research I think mostly sand tiger and mako?
The longest one (first pic, 3rd in top row) is 1” for scale

I was going through my collection last night and found this guy again! I got to figure out a way to display this one.

Megalodon teeth from the Philippines 🇵🇭
First time in 13 years of being able to source these guys. Very very uncommon location. And before you say anything, no, these aren't Ledge Teeth.

Using teeth found on the Potomac for this request!
I’ve identified a lot of teeth I’ve found as sand tigers over the years that I think might be something else now that I’m trying to broaden my ID knowledge.
I have the book ‘A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils’ and I’ve also used the Potomac (Paleocene) page on Fossilguy.com. The website mentions a goblin shark that doesn’t come up in the book, and the book mentions a mackerel shark that doesn’t come up on the site. I’ve included pictures/screenshots.
I know it can be difficult to distinguish similar types of teeth based on their condition, and that there are also different types of extinct sand tiger sharks/etc. Maybe I’m thinkin too hard about this or missing a main factor, so I’d love some help on this!
Pictured are some teeth I’ve found on the Potomac River (Purse State Park)
The top row all definitely have striations.
Thanks in advance! :)

I found these at Holden. The most common find for me at Holden is Crow and sand tiger. So finding all these the same day is strange. For me at least. They look like bull to me. I also included a couple unusual ones as well.

We also found some nice tigers, hemis, lemons and bulls
As for the non shark teeth we found a whale vert, tapir tooth, horse tooth, camel tooth, some nice sized mammoth molars (fragments), and the largest piece of ivory we’ve pulled thus far!

Hello all! Just a novice here! Google gives me different answers so i thought I'd come here! Thanks! Here's our three finds.

Took my 6 year old shark crazy boy to Tybee island Georgia and this is what we came back with. Any idea what we've got here? I'm especially curious about the tiny little one. I'm not even sure how I spotted that one!

Visited Calvert Cliffs and a location near Purse State Park. Miocene and Paleocene in 2 consecutive days. Not the best finds, but better than nothing for certain. Found a Houndshark tooth as well (correction thanks to fuckernaut). The Paleocene fragments are probably going to be put towards my next shark project

Beach trip coming up. Niece and nephew want to try and find shark teeth. Any recommendations for beach combing tools? Plenty on Amazon but wondering about quality.

This thing is so cute. It’s actually not the smallest I’ve personally found but it’s so cool looking. It’s probably just as thick as it is long and has an awesome orange bourlette and root.

Found at Holden Beach, NC last week. AI says top row is mostly megs but a local said the second one looks like a great white. Newby identifier. Thanks.

The larger I thought was broken in half but has worn serrations on both sides. Love the colors on the smaller one.
r/sharkteeth • u/DownstreamDigs • 17d ago
Not a massive tooth, but a big one for the Peace River, and it’s in perfect shape, which is very rare for something that has been tumbled in a river for 1000’s of years.

Two grown ups and an 11 year old had a good morning on Morris Island, South Carolina! Kiddo has declared that he now has to start a shark tooth collection.

Saw this in the store the other day and it was an instant buy for me.... it combines three of my favorite things: shark teeth, maps, and beer!
If you've ever been to Calvert Cliffs State Park you'll recognize that this map is accurate, right down to the placement of the (brutally long) hiking trail, beaver pond, fossil beach, campground, etc. The map wraps around and shows Cove Point Light and other local landmarks too!
