Hunting Summerville Creeks for Fossil Shark Teeth in South Carolina

[@EpicWinNY]

I take that back. That angustiden at 6:40 is absolutely pristine. What a beautiful color and the serrations are clean. You are one lucky man.

[@EpicWinNY]

Just watched this again... Some of the best I've ever seen you find.

[@EpicWinNY]

Nice to see you're back. Been watching for 3 years now. Good luck with your hunting!

[@indiantrace371]

Very cool to see you out there looking for teeth. Very much like hunting arrowheads... for when we are in the right places there is a good amount of "scatter". The tooth at 4:10 was killer!! Your 6:15 again blew me away! You are right! Awesome one coming in at 8:00! I look forward to the day soon where I might well find artifacts in that arrangment of stellar! It happens fairly regularly! Cool show of it all!

[@ammonieten]

Hello Kim, just great finds, but more important is the hunting itself.greetings from Holland, Bill

[@blackriverfossils]

there are teeth in the creek behind the YMCA off Trolley Rd in summerville. It might be tough today because it has been raining A LOT the past few weeks. Good luck! ps - don't take any tools there so you don't get a ticket - that place is in the town limits

[@zulucharlie1794]

I’ve found hundreds of shark teeth hunting in Mississippi. Now I can’t wait to get up to Summerville

[@MrMakoMeCrazy]

What a day. Wow. Nice finds. You are very lucky.

[@EpicWinNY]

Oh my god the one missing the cusp is an absolute disaster haha. What a tooth that would have been. If it would have had the cusp it would have possibly been one of the best teeth I've ever seen you pick up. Ugh what a heart breaker.

[@MrMakoMeCrazy]

Nice finds man. Can't wait to check out Summerville

[@palm-man9467]

I went to Strafford hall today and I found about 20 teeth and a pretty big size tooth

[@blackriverfossils]

sorry we don't offer tours at this time. thanks for watching!

[@seancao7663]

blackriverfossils you miss one at 1:07

[@Hamyshark]

Great video! Love watching these hunts!

[@rocky315w]

Holy crap do you take in people and guide them to the creek. My creek was so disturbed by Sandy that nothing remains of the gravel beds where I would find them.

[@blackriverfossils]

there are a lot of places around here capable of producing fossils, but they get hit pretty regularly so there is generally nothing laying just laying around for any length of time. your best chance is to hit a spot right after a heavy rain. you should wait a day or so after heavy rain to hit sawmill though so the water has time to go down and clear up.

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

Agreed

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

Gorgeous teeth there! 😫I feel you on those heartbreakers 💔

[@blackriverfossils]

thanks!

[@fobarre25]

Nice vid. Awesome finds

[@Proven_Data]

Where in Summerville do you find them cause I’ve lived here for my whole life and haven’t found anything ever.

[@jonathanmcwhorter1353]

Limehouse branch

[@LukeFinleyLovesTransformers]

Jonathan Mcwhorter are you sure limehouse branch is good? because i’ve looked all in sawmill branch and haven’t found much.

[@jonathanmcwhorter1353]

@@LukeFinleyLovesTransformers oh yeah

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

Ohhh I love when I see just the blade

[@blackriverfossils]

me too its like opening a present!

[@blackriverfossils]

thanks anyway but i would like to keep them. If you want to buy a nice angustidens, lowcountry geologic has a good selection

[@alexbristol9700]

I’m kind of peeved you didn’t pick up that bottle.

[@NitroxVsGaming]

Kinda wish I lived in an area like this lol

[@mountdesertrock]

@Blackriverfossil So I’m wondering, why does it seem like there are concentrations of teeth in certain areas? I mean like I would assume that all the different shark species wouldn’t go to a particular place to die. Or was there just so many thousands of sharks in the ancient ocean that the sea floor was littered with them?

[@brianjacob8728]

All depends on the age of the exposed deposits and what sharks were alive/living in the area at that time.

[@rocky315w]

that was Big Greek in north jersey. But we don't get the bigger ones.

[@kalebhwithers3593]

I would almost give anything to go hunt with you guys, and find some crazy cool teeth. Im in NC and iv been working on making a weekend trip to Summerville just to hunt. I know about Sawmill Branch canal, is there any other good places you know of that I could take a look at while im there?

[@Lickychar]

Thanks man for the recommendation! :)

[@thetrippyhippy3604]

Is that the creek behind sangaree elem

[@jonathanmcwhorter1353]

I lived there as a child. Limehouse branch is (was) loaded with them

[@jonathanmcwhorter1353]

I vividly remember finding a meg the size of my 8 year old hand. I showed it off and a bigger kid took it and ran off

[@blackriverfossils]

that sucks man!

[@coraowens9781]

What parts of a creek do I look at in Mississippi to find them

[@boognish9869]

There was a base sticking out on the right at 2:20

[@blackriverfossils]

sorry i don't know any places in CA to hunt besides Bakersfield.

[@Bbart650]

Good vid

[@rugerluger5446]

hope you picked up the bottle

[@supersparkletime]

Do you know any places to find fossils in CA other then Bakersfield?

[@blackriverfossils]

no sorry I never found anything like that in Summerville.

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Good video; but I hope you pick up bottles now and don't leave trash just because it's not yours.

[@evefishalots3842]

I think you missed a mako at 1:07 into the video!

[@qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm7968]

Evefishalots ! Your right I saw it too!

[@EpicWinNY]

Not to be too much with the comments but would you possibly be willing to sell the one at 6:40 or the last angustiden? I would pay whatever you think is appropriate.

[@blackriverfossils]

there are fossils in both Louisiana and Mississippi. Do some google searches and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[@brysoncole1594]

Where do you look what creeks do you know the names?

[@creekfossils5843]

Nice teeth I like finding teeth like that. It could of been better if you were finding Megalodon teeth in that good of condition.

[@andreaeastman7391]

What's your biggest Megalodon tooth ever found

[@blackriverfossils]

the biggest megalodon tooth I ever found measures 6 5/16 inches along the longest diagonal.

[@andreaeastman7391]

Did you sell it

[@blackriverfossils]

@@andreaeastman7391 no i kept it. i have every nice fossil i ever found

[@andreaeastman7391]

Why don't you sell your fossils

[@blackriverfossils]

@@andreaeastman7391 I know it doesnt look like it on here, but it is not easy to find the good ones. I spend lots of time hunting, but I don't always find something, and most of the time they're broken in some way. If I were just to sell them all, it would not be a good investment of time and it would take away the joy of finding the good ones and ultimately erode my enjoyment of this fantastic hobby. Plus they're just REALLY cool and I never get tired of looking at them, reminiscing on the hunts when I found them and who I was with.

[@JESTERdaGOON]

Been looking for good spots.

[@amandashannon1763]

What is the chandler bridge

[@blackriverfossils]

it is an oligocene aged geologic formation found in the lowcountry of South Carolina where I collect primarily.

[@jonathanmcwhorter1353]

tons of arrow heads too

[@dsm1991laser]

where are you guys at i have been told to check behind the ymca is that any good we sent you an email on your web site my son and wife and i are going today and would like to know where to go. thank you

[@patrickdeshane89]

Dude you need to go back thru this vidio and check out the indian artifacts you should be collecting also...

[@blackriverfossils]

i have a friend who makes them. google lowcountry geologic and you'll find lots of different shark tooth necklaces and pendants there

[@dariogijonmartinez288]

Where i can get more theet in the beach por in a river?

[@blackriverfossils]

Dario Gijon Martinez Depends on where you are hunting. Where I hunt in South Carolina, you can find more in a river. In Florida, you can find hundreds of teeth in a day on some of the beaches, so there you would find more on the beach.

[@dariogijonmartinez288]

Ok thanks a lot

[@No-dr3xc]

I saw like 22 teeth you passed big ones too

[@Lickychar]

Btw I'm from Asia and in my country it's like impossible to find or buy Shark teeth necklace and I'm wondering do u sell or make necklace that ure able to ship to me?

[@mikedukes6350]

You missed a big meg

[@WandaKiwi]

1:06 You missed a White tooth

[@seancao7663]

1:07 you miss one 😢

[@Baseball_1316]

That's just fine

[@daniellewhite2565]

Why not pick up the trash since nature is giving to you?

[@blackriverfossils]

we always pick up some trash when we collect. its just not interesting to film lol

[@melissakopp7090]

At 1:30 u missed a vert

[@GoKartXtremeVegito]

I want to be a palenotolologists but I can't search for fossils because there aren't,t any places to go in Louisiana and Mississippi

[@brendamccollum5902]

Alexander Acker this comment was 6 years ago did you do it ? Become a paleontologist?

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

There are places there to search for fossils & such.. you just gotta put in the work & make friends in the industry

[@megankramer6365]

what if a shark bit you lol

[@blackriverfossils]

i would bleed, lol! seriously, there aren't sharks in the fresh water streams and rivers where I collect.

[@blackriverfossils]

just emailed you

[@torystemsley3435]

Any way you can email me too we have been behind the ymca and by showzone and havent been able to find any large ones.

[@blackriverfossils]

@@torystemsley3435 those spots aren't productive anymore, but they do cut through the formation so you can find small teeth there sometimes. if you want a chance to find bigger ones, explore creeks that are overgrown and nasty, where most people won't go.

[@jakekatz2803]

blackriverfossils do you know any specific places in Summerville that I could find some? I don’t have much time and would like a medium sized tooth? Anywhere near Charleston SC please.

[@palm-man9467]

In Virginia

[@bruv9024]

You miss a theeth

[@YuleiLiu]

You missed a teeth

[@jakenelson7835]

Missed a meg at 2:16 ?

[@GetItTogether1983]

Why are you so capable of collecting the pre-historic fossils around you, but have such a hard time picking up our garbage? Is that what you want generations from now to find when their digging around for artifacts from our civilization?
