Hello,
I have another tooth from my collection that I am not sure about.
For me it first looked like a very clear case. The shape of the tooth clearly indicates the snaggletooth shark (Hemipristis elongata). I was 100% certain with the ID, the teeth are almost unmistakable. The only flaw: The tooth was found on the coastline of the Atlantic between Florida and Virginia (unfortunately I don't know the exact location). Over 10.000km far from the distribution area of this shark.
My question to you: is my ID correct? And if so, how can something like this happen?
I hope you can help me. The tooth measures 15mm in leght.
Best regards from Germany and stay healthy in this time!
