Lots of fun finds from my last trip to the river! Can anyone tell me more about this tooth? I haven’t seen a mako with a curve and cusp like that before. What am I looking at? Thanks! :)

Good morning. Is there an accepted demarcation of what constitutes a micro? Is it 1/4 inch or smaller? These two Crows are 5/16 inches. The other photo is, I think, just a cusp which is 1/8 inch. Thanks all.

This tooth was found on my most recent trip to Purse State Park. I believe it is a Mackerel Shark tooth, Cretolamna. I think this may be my first truly pathological tooth because it does appear to be deformed. The crown of this genus does not typically slant to one side so much as this one does. Also, the crown is twisted rather than flat, much like the crowns of Physogaleus contortus. The thing that most leads me to believe it is pathological, however, is one of the cusps. The first cusp seems normal, but the other is twisted at a 90 degree angle and seems pressed against the crown. Can I get any confirmation that this tooth is in fact pathological? Also, can I get an ID as far as species goes, or is Cretolamna sp. the best I can get? Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if anybody would be able to ID this tooth for me. It reminds me of a spider by the way it looks with all the cusps

Hey hi Folks, I was cleaning this Galeocerdo sp. in matrix piece from Sharktooth hill (area)... And found this little thing on the other side of the bone fragment... It is just over 1/4 inch. The damage was pre burial. I think it had a cusp on both sides. I can not see any serrations at x10 magnification. Any ideas of what it is? Thanks Y'All, Tony
