Whoa! That "volcano" tooth is amazing!!!! Congrats. I have a work trip booked to Atlanta in November. Once that ticket is confirmed, I am going to extend my trip and book some time with you on an excursion in SC. Your enthusiasm is refreshing and I can't wait to find some goodies! Also just purchased your Fossil book yesterday. Looks AMAZING so far!

Thanks for showing the brighter things in life, walking through a pile of rocks to find a treasure like that must be a good feeling. Hopefully I might find a treasure on my next fossil hunt with you!!! Take care

Hi Brandon, thanks for watching! There’s a lot of wonderful things to be discovered in this world. Can’t wait to share them with you on a tour in the future!

Great video and amazing finds. Love watching you content. What state did you hunt? I am planning some trips next year and doing research on what states I wants to visit to do some shark tooth hunting. I live in Texas and can find ptychodus whipplei ( my favorite shark tooth to find locally) in Sherman, Texas

I must say, I love your channel, but this video... Really tops it! I loved this video! Alwats wanted to find some Ptychodus, Squalicorax, Hybodus and leave alone Cretoxyrhina teeth! Epic finds! Congrats, you made me jealous! 👌🦈

Hi Jurassic Juul! Thank you so much for this lovely comment! So glad you enjoyed this video; it’s definitely the most edited one thus far, and I’m really pleased with how it came out. 😃 Hope you enjoy the next video that comes out in this series!!

I had been watching your KZfaq channel for a couple of months now and I’m always in Charleston bc some of my family lives there and I love shark teeth so I went to Barnes and Nobel and bought your book but I didn’t know it was your book until I got back to Atlanta and I was mind blown. It’s a great book.

Hi Ashley - wow, what a wonderful story! 🤩 So glad you’re enjoying the book! Hope it helps you with identifying all of your finds!

Enjoy your vids man, wish my pops would go hunting with me. I'm in florida digging around in hawthorn group coosawhatchie formation and I have found over 60 meg teeth mostly flawed but about 10 are perfect one 4" even bigger. All these teeth were found in a 100 yard stretch or so in the creek. For the life of me I cannot dig one in context what am I doing wrong? I can find whole whale rib bones that are white cream colored in a tight white colored clay. I dug little teeth out of the bottom silver bluish layer. This creek also has alot of hard bottom. Huge boulders of apprears to be what they call ocala limestone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated can't figure out what im doing wrong.

@CharlestonFossilAdventures Жыл бұрын

Hi Gary, thanks for watching! It’s a truly special experience to share the hunting trips with family members. Hopefully one day your father will go out with you! If you are on top of the Ocala Limestone, that’s an Eocene deposit, so you’re looking at rocks that are at minimum 15 million years older than megalodon; so you won’t find any in situ megalodon teeth there. My guess is that the deposit your megs originate from is a lag deposit - aka the gravel layer created when water sorts single or multiple deposits, removing sand and congregating the heavier objects. It’s easier to find numerous fossils in lag deposits, whereas finding them in their original deposit takes covering more ground, since the fossils are widely dispersed. I bet you’ll come across one in situ someday! Happy hunting!

Bro you need progressively smaller sieves. Starting out at an inch and a quarter to 3/4th to 1/4th

I met a guy on Reddit from Kansas and he sent me some ptychodus teeth from Kansas. This was an impetus for me to go back upstairs break them all out and just really admire how neat they are! The ones he sent me aren't nearly as large as the ones you found though, and and the pattern is different.. These look more like a topographical map than a volcano! Some day if I'm ever in South Carolina again Maybe I can take one of your tours.

@CharlestonFossilAdventures 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Rich, thanks for watching! That’s fantastic that you were able to receive some teeth from Kansas. There are some beautiful fossils that come out of there. Sounds like you have Ptychodus marginalis teeth. Look them up online and let me know if it’s a match!

@CharlestonFossilAdventures 2 жыл бұрын

Aha, yes! That’s another species out in KS with those ridges. Those can have some crazy crowns where the apex juts up severely from the rest of the tooth.

It’s fairly common at our normal Charleston sites, but at this particular locality we only found three pieces over three days. To put it into perspective, the same 36 hours in Charleston wound have turned up at least 30 pieces!

Hey I was planning to make a Megalodon video for my KZfaq channel and I was wondering if it was OK to make a shout out for you since you look for fossilized shark teeth like megalodon teeth all the time I thought it be cool to shout out your KZfaq channel if that’s all right
