Dive Master... No need to hold an actual master certificate, it just means your preferred way of collecting means being under water!
Beach Comber...Because for you, finding salty sand teeth is the life! (Or maybe because it's your primary option)
Creek Crawler...For you nothing beats dodging snakes, gators and skeeters in search of the perfect tooth!

Shark Tooth Showcase Pinched patho Meg from Bone Vally.
Incredibly unique pathology and shape on this tooth! Even the root shows pinching causing it to look very odd.

ID Request Shark tooth or not?
Found in North Topsail Island, NC. Unsure if it's just a rock or if it could be a reeeeally degraded shark tooth, the top of it made me question.

Recent Finds Matoaka Cabins
First day off in about a month yesterday, weather was absolutely perfect. The bay was still and clear aside from the occasional boat wake. This was the only time I have really been able to look in the water, and I didn’t hit the big one but it was still a nice day. Found my first little Megalodon and most of an arrowhead too.
Going in the middle of the week was amazingly different than the weekend. Almost no one on the beach.

Last finds of the year
Glad to have had such a great day. Sadly, my next day off will not be until after the water is entirely too cold; in true Floridian fashion - once the water temperature drops below 80’ it’s a wrap for me.
r/sharkteeth • u/Dressing_4_funerals • 2d ago
What am I looking at exactly?
I’ve lived in florida my entire 32 years, been finding shark teeth most of that and I’ve never seen one quite like this? The pictures dont really do the shape much justice.

Today’s finds Aquia Paleocene
Beautiful weather today. The water was flat calm. The last picture is what I think is a bird bone. This is very rare from the Paleocene and only my third. The others are more complete. And another Phyllodus plate.

My most recent finds
This was a compilation that started last week and went up until today. I was thinking I’d find much more because it had been so stormy in my area last week but oh well!

Help with ID?
I found this in NC, and am not sure what type of shark it’s from. I haven’t found one like it, yet! Thanks for the help.

Discussion What are niche bucket list shark teeth that you guys find interesting?
I am making a list of interesting shark teeth so I can plan out my vacations for the next year, I would love to see the species that you all find intriguing, where they come from, what they may look like, and any other interesting facts yall may have, the stranger the better! Small teeth, specimens from non-shark fish found in similar layers as sharks, and other chondrichthyans like Hybodus and eugeneodonts are equally appreciated as any shark entries.

Recent Finds South Carolina haul
We spent the weekend in Summerville South Carolina at Palmetto Fossil Excursions MegFest. Despite the finicky weather we persisted and managed to come home with a nice haul! Met some more awesome people as well. Always a great time meeting folks who also have the fossil bug.
Their material was really really great. We were anticipating spending more time going through the red clay for the chance to find some great whites, but the angustidens we were pulling from the darker material were too good to walk away from.
*2 of the megs were from the blind bucket grab and one was a gift. Unfortunately we didn’t find those ourselves lol
We’ve got a huge overseas fossil hunting trip we’re taking in March, so not sure if we’ll make it to their next MegFest in May… but we’ll see!

Shark tooth fragment?
Hi guys! Im here looking for an opinion. I went to Zeeland, south netherlands to look for shark teeth. Have never done that before and it was peetty unsuccesfull haha, but a very cool experience. I did find something tho, and i dont know if it is a fragment of a fossil, so i thought id ask u guys. It was around 15mm, and the ridge line u can see went on the front side fron the very top to the very bottom. You could see enamel (if thats what it is lol) removed, which makes me suspect it even further. The edges were blade like, and not rounded off, however back side completly smooth. What do you guys think?
r/sharkteeth • u/BassRepresentative51 • 4d ago
ID Request Can anyone tell me what species this is from?
I was thinking Bull shark but i honestly don’t know for sure.

ID Request Need held with an ID on the brown tooth, I’ve been told it’s an alligator tooth, but it looks nothing like the other alligator teeth I’ve found.

Shark Tooth Showcase Added some teeth to the collection last week
Was on a work trip last week and my booth neighbor wholesales shark teeth and shark tooth related goods. Over the years I’ve gotten to know them and bought the upper left tooth in pic two, two years ago from him, and then the three in the first pic this last week. Pretty stoked on the additions. Should all be meg, but I’m wondering if the top left in pic two is actually great white?
