Hi everyone, I have here a tooth advertised as Carcharocles Aksuaticus. It's 5.5 cm, and supposedly found in Kazakhstan, which would support that identification. They state it's Middle Eocene. However, I'm not so sure about this identification. It appears to be fully serrated, which would instead suggest to me Carcharocles Auricalatus. I've been looking for one of these for a while, and would love to make sure it is what it's advertised as before I buy it. Anyone know?

Found on N Topsail Beach, NC, in October of 2015 (not long after a dredging and sand replacement project). Longest edge is 6 cm. Various "authorities" have offered conflicting id's. I don't have many fossils worth showing anybody and I'd like to be able to tell visitors definitively what it is. I did read the various threads on this topic in the forum and looked it up in other sources, as well. However, I found researching Carcharocles auriculatus vs Carcharocles angustidens much like watching a pack of hound dogs turned loose on a truckload of rabbits released in the forest. Would appreciate opinions from those knowledgeable on the current theories regarding this (apparent) debate. Or is it just evolution of opinion?
