I found this tooth at Big Brook, NJ thinking it was just a common enchodus fang. Howver, it didn't match the thickness of the enchodus and was later identified as a Xiphactinus tooth. Xiphactinus was about 15 ft long, and was rare on the east coast. ... |

A South Carolina Jewel
South Carolina, USA |

|
Coming from the Calvert Cliffs area, I was a little used to finding some nice teeth. The Cliffs even have a way of imparting rich colors into the enamel; but nothing would prepare me for this trip to the low country.
In the time between my last trip down, and this one, my brother had spent his time showing off nicely colored, lightning streaked teeth that the Chandler Bridge formation had a habit of making. While I, on the other hand... |

Nice Pliocene Shark Teeth from Lowcountry SC Land Site

This is several trips to the Pliocene land site. I combine them because we don't find a whole lot on a single trip usually. I saw some clearing happening so maybe they will start digging again soon. That would really bulk up production, but regardless I'm still happy to get out and hunt. One of the trips I got a nice cow shark tooth which was awesome. I do love being able to find those locally now. The only place I used to be able to find them was Aurora and we all know how those hunts have been... |

I was actually looking for indian artifacts on this trip. Went to my favorite spot by kayak and pretty much got skunked except for a few pottery shards. When i tried to paddle back to my car the tide had fallen so far that I became stuck on a mud flat. Had to get out of the boat and wade through waist deep muck like quicksand. When I finally got to shore i stood catching my breath, looked down and found this beauty of a meg. It's nearly 4 and half inches, has all the bourlette, a sharp tip,... |

My daily routine would be to get up between 5-6 am and walk before anyone would get out and it paid off with my first fresh white tooth. I must have had over 100 people ask me what I was looking for.

The first hints of fall were felt in the glorious Southland as temperature plummeted into the upper 80s during the day and around 60 at night. Dry conditions have kept the river low so DW and myself decided to don our wetsuits for one last paleo-adventure. We had a few spots in mind; and maybe some exploration; but alas…Artifact City beckoned and the 70s tune of Foghat ringed aloud. We geared up and eased into the tannin treasure trove and I fanned out a broken projectile point in the first hou... |

Unbelievable Quality Angustidens Mega Shark Tooth
Colleton County, South Carolina, USA - Carcharocles angustidens |
|
|

I really can't say enough for this tooth. I found it laying on the surface, but it hadn't been there for long. By the color patterns on the tooth, I could see that the tip and majority of the tooth was poking out of the chandler bridge formation, while the edges and the entire flat side of the tooth were still embedded. When it flipped out, it was deposited exactly where I found it. This tooth has not tumbled down the river like so many other sharks teeth we find. The root is the weakest part wi... |

This is a trip from last year in November. In this trip report, I was searching for new spots and came across a pond that was recently finished.

I was about to call it quits and leave until I noticed a very small shark tooth fragment that ... |

As most of you know, we BRFC-ers like to name our collecting spots. Typically, after a collecting trip yields its finds, or an event transpires, we will name a spot. This spot was a newer one, and was located after endless hours of searching; its gravel beds appeared untouched. DW, Weezling and myself geared up and entered the tannin-stained waters in the ACE basin to free its fossils from their aquatic residence. It did not take long to find teeth sticking out of the gravel layer. The grave... |

The last hour before we left this new spot, the weezling and I worked a section of gravel close to shore that was loaded with artifacts. We both found a scraper and two broken points. This is the scraper I found. On one side of it the edge was worked to a really fine edge so its still really sharp. 6 artifacts is a really high number to find an an hour concentrated in one 10 foot by 10 foot area. There will be more artifacts in this section of the river - I'm sure of it!... |

Pathologic Megalodon Shark Tooth

Normally I wouldn't post a broken tooth, but I had to make an exception with this megalodon tooth. Its so pathologic I almost didn't recognize it when I found it. The blade is compressed on both sides, the serrations are folded over, and the enamel is just all wrecked. Oh if only it had the other root lobe it would be the baddest patho in my collection. ... |

We have been in the river a ton this summer so we haven't really been doing much else in the way of collecting - except at the miocene-pliocene land site. We go after every few rains, and these finds are from two trips out there. Even though there aren't big teeth like in the river, this site more than makes up for it with quality. One notable thing about this trip is that we found the first chunk of modern great white out there. Unfortunately it was broken, but I imagine what could be out there... |

The fact that it wasn't my idea made it an easier sell to the wife and my trip was booked. Of course I had to get Nitrox certified, come up with a dive computer, and learn how to use it, not to mention convince myself that diving over 100 feet deep is worth it if there are meg teeth down there, right?

Dad of Year Nomination Cancelled
Colleton County, South Carolina, USA |

With the weather hot and dry the past few weeks, the river keeps dropping asymptotically towards a five year low. When it is low, you gotta go! It was father’s day weekend, and a BRFC family fossil adventure was set….We geared up and floated to a spot in the river favorable to carcharodon collectors of all ages. We had not collected in this spot in several years, and the layer was pouring out of the sand banks. I had two smaller Fosszs to aid in the racking and they did not disappoint. MiniFossz... |

Fossil Beaver Molar from the Edisto River in South Carolina
Colleton County, South Carolina, USA - Castor Canadensis |

This fossil beaver molar was a very unexpected find. I only occasionally find pleistocene material in the Edisto but sometimes it turns up and its super nice like this little tooth. I was fanning sand and I came across a pocket on the bottom of the river that had not been eroded in recent history, meaning it has likely been since the end of the ice age. You can always tell by the way it looks completely compacted and difficult to move with fanning the water. That is contrasted by normal river gr... |
