New Members etj915 Posted August 12, 2020 New Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi everyone, I am pretty new to fossil hunting and don't know much yet. I have found lots of shark teeth over the last year, close to 100, but don't know what a lot of them are. The vast majority of my collection is #6 & #9. Those seem pretty common. I have found around 8 of #1 (the one in the photo is the largest), four of #2, two of #3, and around 5 of #7. Numbers 4,5,8,10 are my only finds like those pictured. I would love some assistance identifying these if anyone knows what they are. Please let me know if you would like close ups of any tooth. I would be happy to add some additional photos if necessary. All the best, etj915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellamyBlake Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Agree with the previous ID and will elaborate that 1 is Isurus hastalis. Also, 6 looks like a sand tiger. A more precise species would depend where it was found. 7 might be a lemon shark. 9 is either a bull or dusky shark, which are often hard to differentiate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Assuming these are all Miocene, then: 1- Carcharodon hastalis 2- Notorhynchus primigenius 3, 5 and 10- Hemipristis serra 4- Galeocerdo aduncus 6- Carcharias cuspidata 7- Negaprion eurybathrodon or maybe a lower Carcharhinus 8 and 9- Carcharhinus sp. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members etj915 Posted August 12, 2020 Author New Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 Wow you all are awesome! Thanks for the IDs! Thats more information then I imagined receiving. I'll have to develop some sort of cataloging system to keep the different species all together moving forward. Unfortunately, it is high tide when I get home from work this week and the hunting conditions are poor. I will have to wait until next week to get back out there. Good luck hunting everyone!

I also agree with Eric. I think 7 is a lower Carcharhinus sp. Marco Sr. "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."
