Now don't laugh at me too much for my question!! I just stumbled onto a post asking for an ID of what they thought was a lemon shark and it brought up a question I have had for a long time: 10 hours ago, hemipristis said: I usually only go with lower Carcharhinus when I see serrations on the blade, but maybe they are worn off. Also I can’t see it under a microscope. I have the chance to collect shark's teeth once a year and consider myself an absolute novice at ID. My question to the forum is how do you tell if a tooth is serrated? Silly question on a big meg. But on the smaller teeth, I often find a tooth that I run my finger nail down the edge and can feel "bumps". It is not smooth. Yet I can't say I really see serrations. How would you classify this????

Hello everybody! I have this fossil shark tooth, it measures aproximately 1,5 inch in length (4cm) and 0,8 inch wide. It is serated and most of the root and sides are missing, so no clue if it had any cusps or bourlette... You can find some pictures of it and also compared to a 5inch megalodon tooth. Can anyone help me with the ID ? Thank you very much in advance!
