Edisto River SC fossil shark teeth

[SCSTATE Fossils]

Lower Edisto River, SC is a great source of shark teeth, fossil whale bones, and other late Cretaceous limestone marine fossils.  Teeth and bones are typically stained with the deep brown tannic acids in this blackwater river.

Nice teeth.

I took the liberty of removing the yellow light color cast from your photo.

Nice teeth.  One correction though, the Edisto River fossils are Miocene and Pliocene, not Late Cretaceous.  You might get some Eocene above the fall line, around the level of Orangeville for example.

Bottom right tooth isn't a Great White...the presence of the bourlette and cusps point to an Otodus.

 

I thought there was also Oligocene on the Edisto, meaning the tooth could be an angustidens, chubutensis or meg.  

 

Here is a diagram of the bank of the Edisto from https://www.chsfossiladventures.com/single-post/phosphate-fossils-and-geological-ghosts-in-the-sc-lowcountry-the-mysterious-edisto-formation:

Thanks for the corrections on geological time strata for Edisto area ! 

You're correct about me needing to switch Carcharodon to Otodus angustidens. btw we have also found megalodon in the Edisto.

Thanks also Fossildude19 for the photo improvement. 

I will post another ID help needed below for apparent marine reptile vertebra from Wrightsville Beach, NC.

Hyperostotic neurocranium element from a fish (also called a Tilly Bone)

Thanks for that quick ID.  I will pass that on to my Grandson, the actual collector of this!

I believe the one you named Isurus hastalis (actually Carcharodon hastalis is the right genus currently) is more likely Isurus oxyrinchus/desori or Isurus retroflexus. A picture of the other side would help.

I agree on Otodus for the last one..

Nice teeth either way!

@dries85, good catch, I completely missed that.
