What might be the species of this shark tooth. Besides the broken root it is complete with fantastic serrations.

Found this tiny tooth in a Gainesville creek. Looks like it has a cusp on one side. Could it possibly be a juvenile Great White tooth? I looked on elasmo but I don't see anything that quite fits the profile of it. It's about 12mm in length.

Found this off Wrightsville Beach NC, is it a Meg chunk? Notice the tiny speck of blue enamel and nice line along the root?

This is the first Otodus I ever found. It is from the Aquia Formation along the Potomac River and measures 1.15 inches. Only the root was sticking out of the indurated matrix and it took several hours of chiseling with a sharp screwdriver to reveal the crown. -
can anyone tell by the picture whether or not this is a shark tooth or a shell? I found it on the coast of Georgia a few weeks ago I’ve read a little bit about shark teeth versus shells in the Internet. The more I think about it, I’m much more confused. Can anyone please tell me your thoughts.

Ever since seeing @sharko69's Monster Texas Cretodus, I've dreamed of owning a very large Cretodus tooth. Well, now I have one, and at 6 3/8" on the slant, I believe it to be world-record sized. (I sculpted this using epoxy putty and colored it with acrylic paint.) The top row below is the tooth prior to painting. Here's an in situ shot.

If anyone has stories, tips, experiences/ images of hunting in Peru, specifically the Ocucaje desert that would be so interesting! I have thinking about traveling there for a long time! (I know you can’t take the teeth out of country)

Hi. I'm a final year undergraduate student doing my dissertation on sharks. There are a few teeth I found which I feel I should be able to identify given some features preserved, and I don't want to just leave them as indet. They were found at Walton-on-the-Naze, UK, from the lowermost London Clay Formation, Eocene (Ypresian) in age. All photos show teeth in the best view that I could capture with me camera/have most of the specimen in focus. Scale bar on the right = 1cm. For all teeth they are in lingual (left), labial (middle) and mesial (right) views where applicable. Apologies for the lateral photos being so blurry, didnt get the chance to run them through focus stacking Thanks in adavance. Also, if people want to ask me any questions on the disso feel free to.

Found this shark tooth hunting,any idea info is help ful

Shown below is a tooth, identified by the seller as that of a Squalicorax pristodontus, from the Demopolis Chalk. However, given the shape of the tooth, I wondered whether it could have instead come from a Squalicorax kaupi. I've tried altering the saturation and contrast on the image to make the tooth clearer, but I fear it hasn't done much. Come to think of it I should probably also have included a scale and an image of the other side of the tooth. The tooth is 1.2 centimetres wide and 1.3 centimetres tall. Should an image of the other side of the tooth prove necessary, I'll upload one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Othniel

I'm hoping that I'm seeing a deep nutrient groove visible on the front, top, and back of the tooth & a "hammerhead notch" on this tooth. Does Sphyrna sound accurate? Any other ways to narrow it down further?

Found in the pits at the Aurora Fossil Museum. I think I've narrowed it down to a Thresher/Alopias. Does that seem accurate? I also wasn't sure if there was an ability to narrow it down further. Thank you!

This is my largest Hemipristis tooth. At 2.001 inches it just barely gets me into the 2 inch snaggletooth club! I found it in Yorktown Formation sediments in the Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina. -

This 4.5 inch meg was found at a land site in central Virginia along the contact of the Eastover and Calvert Formations. The colors make me think it is likely an Eastover tooth. -
I went down to westmoreland state park today, and I found these 4 these, the smallest one looks like a small bull shark tooth and the other 2 look like some hammerhead. The biggest one is something I’ve never seen before. It is still serrated and is sharp, I found it on fossil beach and the other 3 on the main beach. Please help as I don’t think I am right. Thank you!

I found this in Summerville back in early January, the shape seems a bit different than most angustudens I've seen and I was wondering if I've finally found a confident chubutensis. Any thoughts? Thanks! (4cm in length)

Shark Teeth from the Peace River, Arcadia, Florida
citronkitten posted a topic in Member Collections
Greetings, I wasn't sure the best place to post this as when I try to 'create new content' as a 'gallery image' I can't actually select an image category; I can see 'sharks rays and skates' as an option, but when I click it nothing happens. Anyway, thought the most generalized area would be the next best bet. Here is the shadowbox I made from the shark teeth we found on our guided trip to the Peace River in Arcadia, Florida on 26 Dec 2023. We were out for almost 5 hours with Sean from Fossil Recovery Exploration, and even he said we did very well! We were particularly pleased with the pyritised partial (2/3) megalodon tooth! I know now that some of the Sand Tiger teeth are likely just Lemon Shark teeth...but oh well. One of the Mako teeth might be wrong, too, although not sure. Really pleased with how the display came out, overall. Thanks for looking!
