Hey all - was back in NJ last week and found the time to hit up the ram. Found this broken tooth that I originally thought was shark, but it doesn’t seem flat enough upon further inspection. It also doesn’t feel like a shark tooth, if that makes any sense. Seems like a fish tooth to me, I just don’t know what kind. I have some subpar phone pics - let me know if you need more, I can get some after work tonight. It’s slightly over 1/2 inch according to my rudimentary ruler I drew on the box it’s on.

A gorgeous tooth from one of my favorite sharks! The enamel isn't polished - the chalk preserves its shine extremely well - it's as shiny as when it fell out of the animal's mouth! -

A beautiful tooth from one of my favorite sharks. This one is extra special because of the self-inflicted bite mark - a gash seen on the left in lingual view. Apparently their bite was strong enough to cut their own teeth! -

One of my favorites - the "ginsu" shark. This one was found at the DFW airport in the 80's. -

I bought this from a general collectables re-seller. It was listed as a megalodon and is definitely a fossil, but I'm not certain of the id as the seller was not an expert and neither am I and there was no additional info provided. It was quite cheap so I won't be heartbroken if it's more recent or not a shark at all. It's about 54mm across and 50mm long. There may have been fine serrations along the edge that have been worn smooth.

5.25 inches, or 13.335 cm; on the longest side. It has belonged to my father, for many years now; and he recently gave it to me. It's a cherished specimen.

The "big guy" to find at POC. Though, this one is smaller, the preservation is as good as it gets for this location. In fact, it makes me believe that POC could draw from layers adjacent to the Eagle Ford Group. I've found matrix pieces that are consistent with the geology of EFG, but need to find matrix pieces with this kind of preservation to confirm Atco or something else. I'm also not sure that this is C. crassidens anymore since this smaller, narrower form differs so much from the holotype. I currently believe it's an undescribed species since I haven't found something that ma -

Reconstructed tooth set from a "Crow" shark - Squalicorax (could be S. falcatus) - illustrating the variety of tooth positions. Anterior teeth have erect, triangular cusps. Lateral teeth and posteriors are more common and have an increasingly posteriorly slanted crown, resembling the teeth of modern tiger sharks. -

These represent some of the earliest sharks from this genus, which is now quite successful and diverse today. -

Lower anterior from the modern Great Hammerhead: You don't see many teeth from this location - they're hard to find (somehow, I found this one at night! It was on the beach right next to the hotel.). -

Can anyone ID this fossilized partial shark tooth for me? It was found in Myrtle Beach, SC. I’m usually pretty good at identifying them; however, this is just the tip as the rest of the tooth and the root is gone. The serrated edges (if any) look really worn out too - so this thing is old! Looks like it would’ve been a decent size too. I took a photo from above too as the tooth also looks thick.

Good afternoon all, I love looking for sharks teeth, found this guy today. First, I think it is a tooth but might not be. If it is, it’s the largest one I have ever found by far. Found on beach in North Carolina. Any thought on this? thanks a ton!
