Several years ago I was In Charleston and went to this island, we had to go at a certain time and by boat, but I was fascinated at what the sea left behind for our group to discover. I have been completely infatuated with fossils, dinosaurs and shark teeth since I was a little kid. This island and finding those incredible teeth and giant shells is still one of my most favorite times I have ever had. Love your channel!!

I live in the U.K and came across your vid. I really enjoyed it and I have subscribed. I am going on vacation to Lyme Regis in the U.K it is known as the jurassic coast. I'm really excited to be going on a fossil hunt there. It does have it's laws set in place and you are not allowed to take anything home with you from the bed rock. There are giant ammonite fossils to see there but obviously you can't take them. I am sooo excited to be going on this trip as I usually visit local areas like Wales and Devon as we have holiday homes. I also go on cruises alot and planes but I can honestly say that this fossil hunt excites me even more than those. I can't wait. I so want to find shark teeth 😊. Your video was both educating and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

Hi Chuck - thanks for watching! A good rule of thumb for the legality of a site is how you access it. Public greenways, county parks, city parks, etc. are all excellent places to start at. Make sure you don’t cross through private property to access the site, and by all means, do not jump fences, drive through private gates, or blatantly walk past ‘no trespassing’ signs that you “didn’t see” while walking in to a site. The easiest sites to visit are our shorelines here in SC; hunting between the low and high tide lines is perfectly legal, as all material is ex situ. And remember - if you or someone you know are accessing a construction site to collect, have written permission from the *land owner* beforehand.

I got a megalodon tooth as large as my hand that was found in my yard when we were building a house in West Ashley, nowhere near the beach or the ocean. Of course, millions of years ago it was probably all ocean. I wasn't looking to sell it but I was still kind of surprised and disappointed that they sell for no more than $100 usually. You'd think something that came from a shark the size of a city bus and was millions of years old would be of incredible value, but alas I guess there are a LOT of them out there.

Sifting sucks 😂 We learned this the hard way. One additional technique we use in Chandler Creek is a bucket with a plexiglass bottom. So we can see under the water. Also we don't dig in the bank or creek ever. Only surface finds for us. Rule of thumb if it doesn't look like a rock, take it home with u. I see so many disregard some phenomenal finds. Half of my collection I only know because of your channel... Thank You. Gonna reach on via FB! We really appreciate the help! Happy Hunting!!!

Hi Ashby! I loved the video. I’ve been obsessed with shark teeth hunting ever since I found my first hemipristis tooth 2018 at Caspersen beach in FL. I sadly do not live or come from the US so I don’t have the chance of finding teeth where I’m from. I am now once again in Florida and I returned to Caspersen beach. Sadly the beach was so crowded by people and finding teeth was more difficult then a couple years ago. Locals from Venice also told me that the likelihood of finding bigger teeth on Caspersen has decreased a lot since a couple years ago. I was wondering if you know any good beaches on the west coast of Florida to find shark teeth on? It’s ok if you don’t answer.

@CharlestonFossilAdventures 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Alex, thanks for watching! It’s a shame to hear that finding teeth at Caspersen has gotten harder. My best advice would be to scout out the local rivers and/or the smaller islands in the surrounding area. Visiting harder to reach areas will usually help increase your finds. Best of luck!

I was at Caspersen Beach, Fl just a few days ago. My first visit ever. I got there around 11:30 am on Wednesday and searched for about 2 hrs. I brought a metal rake/catcher and scooped up sand in the surf line and in some of the shell piles. There were plenty of sharks teeth to be found although they were small ones. I pretty much stayed in one area and used the scooping/sifting method in the surf line because of my back. I even found some sea glass. I did not find any on Venice beach itself although I know they are there. I went to Bean Point on Anna Maria Island, Fl to look and found one plus some pretty shells. Amelia Island area and areas north of Jacksonville are some other areas to try because of migratory patterns of sharks.

Back in the day we used to hit spots where dredge was used as landfill after every rain. We could pick up more fossils than we could carry every time. This was in various locations near Summerville and Ladson, about a half century ago. It was a bad day when we didn't find two or three very large megladon teeth 4-6 inches, whale vertebra, as well as shark vertebra disks, tons of fossil shells or various kinds and a few crustaceans. We even found a few rostral nodes and fossilized cartilage. If we'd been into screening then we could have filled trucks full.

I have found that a strip of sand on the beach with no shells and other stuff is not going to have shells buried in the sand. The spot on the beach is dictated by a spot in the water where the bottom prohibits things getting to shore. Also have found that to each side of these empty spots will hold more shells than just another stretch of beach. The bottom topography will spread the shells and other stuff to each side of this rise in the bottom. I look for them when I got hunting...they rarely disappoint.

It can also depend on days and conditions. I live very close to a beach (northern coast of gulf of Mexico in Florida) and I've only ever found 1 shark tooth here. But I find tons of sand dollars. On some days, anyway. I've found it's best to go the days after it's been storming, even if the storm was further south in the gulf and didn't affect us at all, but the water isn't really rough. It should be washing up some- a nice tumble at the shoreline and you can train yourself to pick out the shape in the water among the piles of other stuff. But some days there's nothing at all so you know you're unlikely to find many, if any at all. They are light so you usually have to identify them on one wave washing in and know if there's a current, how strong, the angle it's pulling at, etc because you'll need to grab it or scoop it on the next wave. Other days there's plenty of water action but not much is in it. You might find stuff where 2 currents meet but generally I walk further up from the shore and search the shell beds from the last high tide on those days.

What beach / beaches are you on? What time of day? What time of year? I’ve been looking for shark teeth on Charleston beaches for decades and have never found a tooth as easily as what you’re depicting here.

Is it a shark vertebrae, or an icthyasaur vertebrae?

@CharlestonFossilAdventures 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Debbie, thanks for watching! These are from sharks - the remains are calcified cartilage, and most importantly, our deposits here in Charleston max out at 30 million years in age. 😁 Happy hunting!

@@CharlestonFossilAdventures I asked because I've collected fossils in Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Lulworth Cove, Whitby, and Wren's Nest in Dudley in the Midlands. I've seen icthyasaur vertebrae in shops and museums. Shark vertebrae therefore, look similar to my untrained eye. Wren's Nest near Birmingham is a little know, an interesting site. It was a silruvian coral reef. We found coral, shells, and trilobite there.

@@CharlestonFossilAdventures So if Charleston only has fossils of 30 million years, or less, it can't possibly be a shark vertebrae. So, can you guess the length of the shark the vertebrae came from? Can you tell from the larger teeth how large the sharks had grown to?

I think they are unlikely to be deep in the sand. Like gold panning the teeth are lighter than the sand so will want to stay on or near surface.
